This is only my second post on the forum, I'm mostly just a silent reader. I have stopped watching the show regularly since the Manglore track due to the monotonous story line and romance, but I'm aware that a lot has happened since then.
As you might have already guessed, my post is about the hatred towards Aryaman's character. From what I've gathered through a few glimpses every now and then, Aryaman is Soha's brother and came to S.P.A.C.E to take revenge from Manik about what happened with her. But along the way, he realized his mistake and turned over a new leaf .
What I fail to understand is why people dislike him so much? Because frankly, I don't find anything wrong with his character. Yes he was bad initially, but he redeemed himself didn't he? Are people forgetting that Manik was basically the definition of bad in the beginning of the show as well? Because personally, I disliked his character so much that I actually wanted Nandini to fall for Dhruv. But then Manik started to change and redeem himself, and my heart softened for him. Same is the case with Aryaman. He may have done some terrible things, but even he deserves a second chance. Just because he's not the protagonist doesn't mean he shouldn't be a part of the show.
Personally, I feel that people don't like Aryaman because he's close to Nandini now. I want to know what's wrong with that? Is it because he's a boy and Nandini should be like one of those girls who act like they can't even look at another guy because she loves someone else? Or is it because Aryaman might have developed some stronger feelings for Nandini? Even if that's the case, I'll ask again, what's wrong with that? He's a human. He's allowed to love whoever he wants. Everybody assumed Manik was dead, and if during that time Aryaman started falling for Nandini, it's not a big deal. Now that Manik has returned, we can't just assume Aryaman to automatically switch his feelings off. Love doesn't work that way.
It would have been a problem if Aryaman was forcing his love on Nandini. Or was just lusting after her. But if this is love, it's not wrong. I'm all for a good love triangle if it's handled properly. But the biggest mistake Indian shows make while dealing with these tracks is that they cower under fan pressure and turn one of the two guys or one of the two girls negative, only to justify WHY the other two can't end up together instead of the original couple.
I'm sure many of you watch American shows. And you would know how the dynamics and relationships between characters keeps on changing as per the demand of the story. If we can accept such tracks there, why not here? As far as I understand, Kaisi Yeh Yaariyaan promotes modern thinking, so why when it comes to a girl being loved by two worthy guys do we panic so much and demand the writers to get rid of the second guy and for the girl to remain like an untouched virgin for the original guy? Why not just wait and watch the story play out? Love is such a pure emotion. There are so many ways it can be portrayed on screen. And when you have a good looking and talented cast like KYY, it makes such tracks even more interesting to watch.
Karan Jotwani is a good looking guy and acts well. Same is the case with Parth. Niti is also a pretty girl. Honestly, I'm all for seeing an actual and intensely passionate love triangle between the trio. Not like the joke they did at the time of Manik-Nandini-Dhruv. Because there is some serious potential for cackling chemistry from both sides here. Manik was basically dead. So if Nandini found a good friend in Aryaman during that time to help her get through, good for her. I'm not saying Nandini should fall for Aryaman. All I'm saying is that so much has happened in all of their lives and everybody is confused at the moment on how to deal with things. We know Nandini doesn't feel for Aryaman the way he might feel for her, but does that mean we should start bashing the character because he dared to fall in love with the protagonist?
I know the CVs are going to opt for the same overly used track of turning the second guy negative and uniting the original couple. But for once I'd like to see them going for a more realistic approach. By all means, keep Manik-Nandini together. I like them. But don't turn Aryaman negative again just because he likes Nandini. And don't turn him into some silly makeshift cupid who's only purpose in the show is to unite Manik and Nandini. He's a good actor and deserves his own story. I'm seriously tired of watching the show and characters being centered only around MaNan. I love these two, but honestly, too much of the same thing bores me to death. There are other actors working equally as hard and are equally as talented. My main reason for liking this show was the ensemble cast and their respective stories but lately, it's all been about MaNan breaking up and making up. All the other characters are worth much more than being used just as side characters.
Coming back to the original point, I'd like to see Aryaman and Nandini's friendship grow. A budding friendship doesn't mean that they both will fall in love. It just means that they each have someone out there who they can rely on and trust, who they can love without having to be in love, who'll always have their back, who'll cry with you and laugh with you, who's your FRIEND. This show is all about friendship and it's high time Nandini makes some too. Her only other friend is Navya. The rest are all Manik's friends, the Fab5. It's high time Nandini gets her own group of friends too. Nandini doesn't mind Manik being so close with Mutki and Aliya, so I don't think Manik should mind her friendship with Aryaman. He's going through a rough patch right now, but once everything settles, I'd like for Manik to act rationally and not question their friendship. Otherwise it won't be fair that he gets to be friends with girls but if Nandini finds a friend in a guy, he gets jealous. I'm hoping the CVs won't turn Aryaman negative. The actor and character have potential and I'd like to see it play out on screen.
All I'd like to say is that we should treat a show as a show. It's fiction, not reality. So we shouldn't get so emotional over it. If you don't like something, that's fine. But don't be unfair in your dislike of something. Hate Aryaman all you want, but make sure it's for the right reasons. Every story needs to take a little detour sometimes, otherwise the journey becomes very boring doesn't it?
P.S: This post wasn't meant to offend anyone. I just wanted to share my views. And please keep in mind that I am not, nor have I, bashed anyone in this post. I'm merely stating an opinion and you are free to disagree with it.
