Shreya,(right?), that was very thoughful post and trust me, i had totally lost connect with the character, but your writing put it in a better perspective.I never had a problem with him lashing out on manik, like even today when he called him out as jealous , i was like yeah "right on manik's face".To a point , manik needs this to grow out of his over protective streak.Anything kills when overdosed, so here the over protectiveness foiled the relation.Understood...But i still cant get to see how he reacts or lashes out on the other.Be it alya, the girl took so much effort to make things work, lame ones, but still.Even after all the drama, the girl still went ahead and embraced him only to be shunned out with a disgusting line...No matter what, i need alya to give him one hell of a time before getting back or may be not at all.In a point to shut out manik, dhurv has taken catastrophic route lashing out on all his friends.If the guy dint want to be in manik's shadow, shouldn't he have reached out to mukti and go about doing something significant to help her out , in a bid to shine with his own individuality.Turning a blind ear to it, only reinforces that you were never a true friend to them and will enable more of the Manik chant around in people. As i write all this, i realise that the guy has a dense head right now and like you said, he is reacting irrationally.so i will let him off the hook for now.I am not gonna like this anytime soon, but atleast i dont hate him now.BTW dialogues like "i am your last priority like always" makes him ambigous , and stupid...that was so lame one to come from a guy who was trying to stay away from manik


Shriya*

He's lashing out because he wants to stand out some way, any way. Yes this makes him a bit of a douche, no doubt. But I guess I just like some character development than none at all. He's lashing out now, which means regret will soon follow. And after regret reevaluation. It's all up hill from here and I'm enjoying that.

i agree with a lot of what you wrote here
Dhruv ego is hurt big time because the both times he tried love - he found out he is second - like he got the scraps thrown away by Manik.
Manik is a superstar and Dhruv is feeling like he is being smothered.

I always felt bad for dhruv... Bad is the truth... Decisions are made for him by maanik... But Manik never imposes that on him. Actually he had been treated like a kid.. But I don't agree he was side lined. May it was his character the subtle nature of his that made others including maanik thinks that he is fine with everything. Instead of walking away from nandhini without even leone dhruv no about thier feelings, I didn't liked it... I felt they are making fool out of him unintentionally... Instead of that drama they could have shown a mature brother bro talks... That would have been better. He was kept in dark.. When aliya bursted out when she came to know about manan I swear that is the normal reaction, and the way dhruv snapped at her is also very much natural... I was shocked to see dhruv okay with that.. I thought why dhruv didn't feel what aliya felt may he was not so much into nandhini... There are many times maanik was protecting him... Remember when cabir wanted to work and stay in his own place Manik could not accept.. I am not blaming maanik (I would love to have him in my life) ... The same way now dhruv wants to have his own indentity. He wants to teach the sky passing beyond the maanik cloud.. But unfortunately he can't and he can never be... Look at nandhini too.. She is not even practising with him properly.. She wants maanik too... Getting dependent on maanik like how dhruv was... But the way he is doing it is very very immature.. That's because he could not talk to his friend... Again this bro bro conversation is not happening... It's OK.. This friendship between fab5 is good but maanik is the one who is getting affected badly. Today he needs to give up his role as a lover too.. He is thinking if to fight with his friend or not.. He could not even open about nandu as he is not sure if they are going to accept her... This this is what makes me feel that fab5 are family not friends.. To or with or friends we should not have secrets or we don't mind being open to them... We will be ourselves... But with fab5 is not happening... Be it anyone they are scared that don't hurt each one of them because this is the only relationship they have for now..
And thier families are screwd up they can't mess up with each other... Thier intentions of not hurting each other is good but at the same time when you have to become the sacrificer or when you are becoming the follower of someone else decision it Finally hurts. This is what happening. Nothing wrong in fighting like this.. Fight bro Instead of just hiding in a relationship just express and hey each other but come out with your issues solved. Dhruv wants to be himself for one Either he is wrong or right. He doesn't care. He wants to get out of that shell... Is good for everyone. Today exvept dhruv everyone is having an indentity... By the way people are talking about being grateful... That sounds absured... Everyone are debted to each other in fab5. That's the truth. Because of manan equation we feel maanik is sacrificing so much... Just imagine you get only one chance to perform in an album and that was dropped when maanik ran after nandhini tosave her only... Instead of keeping his friends in dark he could have told them the scenario and made them realize his responsibilities for nandhini... I was surprised that they were not angry with maanik that time. Thier life time oppurtunity was gone.. If I am not wrong dhruv understood maanik even at that time too... He only snapped at aliya for not letting maanik go...so Instead of being a father maanik can just be a friend and treat them like one too... This treatment like kids making them for against thier father. Friends is greater than family and they should try to be friends always...
This is the lesson to maanik s well as dhruv... The only victim here is nandhini...

I totally agree with you!! No matter how much i am angry with him because of his behavior...i know this is the best way the cvs can develop his character and that his character is getting the attention which it deserves finally..
Deep down i know dhruv is not a bad soul but right now just blinded. Frankly speaking im loving these Dhruv and Pandit tracks ...

Having said that, i still want manik to punch Dhruv flat... he so deserves the punching tooo...

I agree with u completely 👍🏼 but dude sometimes I find him very lame n kiddish.Dhruv is actually not understanding wat he wants, his aim is oly to get out of manik's shell whether good or bad. Aaj kal toh kuch bhi bakta hai😳 wich makes no sense or am I the oly one who is feeling dis🤔??

am copying n posting my reply from other post😊 A fight back from manik will certainly redeem him. yesterday he was not grateful for manik for sacrificing nandu for him instead dat he told he could ve given chance(wich is actually wrong, bcoz nandu isnt toy) or else manik could ve easily told abt him n nandu being a thing. wat irks dhruv more is manik treats him as baby, protects him,accepts his tantrums happily. dhruv just want manik to lash him out,shout him,punch him n i bet after dis dhruv will surely back. dhruv wants manik to go against him atleast once in his life. dhruv wants manik to treat him equally, as a frnd not as father. he wants the respect as frnd bt doesnt want baby sitting.
Agree dhruv is being big time jerk, ASS etc. bt this is the oly way to make manik malhotra realise dat he is not born to take responsibilities of his frnds especially dhruv just because he saved his life some years ago. if the same behaviour is enacted by cabir,mukti or alya, manik wont realise.

oly his best buddy dhruv for whom he sacrificed can make him realise dat he is not born take responsibilities of him, though dhruv is harsh, bt dhruv is being honest, he is showing his insecurities, jealousy, his displeasure of always being treated as baby n always being protected. but manik is still in deniel mode, dat dhruv can tell something like dis.

if u all remember, cabir also told its high time u shud think of urself, u r not responsible for everything dat happens, u need not always blame urself, cabir has told dis to him calmly bt did manik understand, did manik change?? no he is same mother hen.

fab5 always hides things from each other, hide der insecurity, jealousy etc. dhruv was actually not aware dat he was jealous of his buddy until alya thing happen to him. once dhruv started to feel jealous at least he is being honest, expressing actually wat he feels rather than hiding under manik's shadow.

dhruv has been f***ing ASS to alya bt here also he was honest, he said actually wat he felt, he didnt go to silent mode. how can dhruv be calm wen he comes to know his girl is not comfortable of publisizing der relationship to everyone where as this is the same girl who is best buddy's manik's ex, who went public abt their relationship!! alya is used of making out session n kissing, its her way of expressing love bt it didnt go well with dhruv. this will also make alya realise importance of communication in relationships. alya surely will not forgive dhruv. she will give him toughest time of his life. he has to repent a lot to get her back.

dhruv has always been judged everyone around him. manik made him good person, nandini n alya called him sweet , Mr.perfect n speacial person n mukti n cabir just always made fun of him. but none of dem n dhruv himself never bothered wat he is actually, wat is his identity, wat he is without manik?? now he is trying to find wat he is, though in good or bad way atleast he expressing now.

manik is such a gadha he still thinks dhruv is better for nandu, he is still insecure of dhruv being good boy where dhruv is already showing his vulnerable side. wen nandu has clearly told him wat she feels for him, for god's sake, he should understand nandu is not a girl who kisses everyone n romances with everyone, she is oly his n he is oly her manik. both ManRuv treating der respective gals as commotidities, punch n tight slap from alya will make dem realise wat dey r doing.

ppl compare manruv n manbir n call cabir true frnd n dhruv as selfish, ppl pls get ur facts clear, just bcoz cabir is cupid btw manan doesnt make him good frnd n just bcoz dhruv is being bad to manik doesnt make him selfish. cabir has tried to explain manik in his own way bt it didnt work n now dhruv is trying his own way wich will make manik realise dat he shud stop being mother hen to his frnds n leave dem alone, let dem grow for demselves, let them fall n get up by demselves rather than manik being protector. And its high time manik shud realise importance of nandini in his life, respect hern stop taking her granted all the time n for god sake give a NAME to der relationship n trust her dat she has actually choosen manik not dhruv n understand nandu is human n she can also make mistakes.

some ppl missing old dhruv, its completely der wish n pov bt my question is wat was old dhruv?? nothing but a guy who was hidden in manik's shadow for 10 long years who had no choice, who had no opinions of himself. to be frnds with nandu also he wanted manik's permission n for sake of manik he broke frndship with nandu. all the fab4 ve done severe mistakes, the way dey treated navni, shahid etc is not all sane bt dey changed right?? dey reedemed demselves. oly dhruv was Mr. goody person, seriously i want to know who is actually like old dhruv in real life?? well am not, i ve my own flaws. dhruv is not normal kid, he is a person who has been insecure bcoz of his disease, fear of ppl not accepting him the way he is, fear of loosing dear ones bcoz of his attacks bt now he is not afraid of ppl not accepting him, he is least bothred wat ppl think abt him, he is ready face the world even with his attacks.

atlast i wanna say this step of dhruv will certainly will make manik understand its high time he shud think of himself rather than baby sitting his frnds n dis will also lead to beautiful manan confession n manik's realisation.

er post, wat i actually felt after analysing properly.

I personally am loving the way Utkarsh is performing these days. 😛
And about Dhruv, it's true he was portrayed to be to perfect in the earlier episodes.. his identity was so blur. I couldn't even get it what he was there for in the group earlier. But now he is being a bit rational.. voicing out his thoughts.. his insecurities.. bursting out in his frustration! Finally BEING HUMAN.. and not an Alien!

I liked your post and respect your opinion. But, I both agree and disagree with you.

I do like that Dhruv has come a long way from being in Manik's shadow to rebelling against them. I understand that. I can understand how it feels. Decisions were made for him, and he was expected to just go along with that. Dhruv is lashing out and I actually feel for him. He's not in his right mind and he is wanting to get away from behind the quiet one, the dullest one in Fab 5.


And I totally agree with you that his best friend [Manik] is the centre of everything that happens. He liked Nandini, Manik unknowingly came in. He then liked Alya, but again insecurities started rising. I think there's a fine line between friendship and something more within Fab 5. Just look at Alya and Manik. They were a perfect couple, you could say, but their relationship became lost when it came to Fab 5. They were possibly just together for the sake of the group. And now Alya and Dhruv. They dated and fell in love, but they couldn't differentiate what was friendship and what was love. Like if they argued because of their relationship, it affected their friendship.

Anyway, getting back to the point - i agree where Dhruv is coming from. But I disagree that Utkarsh has improved. It's one of the BIGGEST thing that just annoys me. Utkarsh is just below par as an actor. He was okay when he was quiet and earlier Dhruv, but he just doesn't level up to the Dhruv that is shown on paper.


I think Dhruv on paper is one of the most interesting character development, unfortuately Utkarsh does not come close. And that's what irritates me so much. I like Dhruv, but the acting? Nope.
