Lets keep aside Manik for the sake of humouring this post.
@TM - and understand a basic human instinct, if anyone in their happier times hear about something devastating that might shatter the world of their loved ones , what would be the most primitive reaction . Especially if it affects our family? Would anyone ever be able to enjoy the mood or stay in it. Won't the urge be to make sure family is safe and sound? Does that mean, disrespecting the company especially when it is aware of the grave situation.
Nandini avoided telling him about Raghav because she was expecting him to be upset, she knew it. So i doubt she was surprised or offended by it. At that point , her concern was if he would be able to grasp hold of himself.
Here Manik was sharing his pain about Cabir and his trouble, he was pouring his heart out about them( the poetry ended a while back, they both were together and discussing Cabir). This made Nandu tell him about Raghav, because she recognized the inner turmoil he was facing. The information that was puzzling to Manik at that moment was provided by her. So she anticipated it, understood that it is better to reveal than hide and could sympathize with his helplessness.
There was a scene between Nandu and Dhruv , she didn't even compliment him about his make-over initially because her thoughts were pre-occupied with the spike drama. For that moment, should be judge her as a lousy friend because she should have prioritized her friend first or understand that there is bigger problem that needed her immediate attention . Similarly Nandu, like some of us, understood that compared to his merry -time with Nandu , his presence and his frustrations about Cabir were legit and needed his immediate response.
I would have agreed with his mercurial behavior if he didn't defend her or extend his hand when she fell down while searching the pen for Shahid. That would have been concerning , this one comes from expected understandable road.
