Coming to the point where Manik prioritises his friends over Nandini... there was a scene in S1 (where Abhimanyu sets up Soha's secret party house and leads Nandini inside). Nandini questions Manik whether he'd ditch her for his friends again and he says yes because he has to be there to protect them because he knows that she will shine for him like a star. And with that Nandini drops all charges against him and accepts his apology.
I don't know why, though it feels good to be addressed as a protector how does it justify his action of hurting her? How does being a star give him the right to go out and do the ditching act all over again? Is there anyone else who's not satisifed with his explantion back there?
