Why I can't stand Aryaman!

He was a negative character who was both psychotic and cowardly in Season 1 whose redemption was sold on Manik mouthing a dialogue akin to "I would have done the same" and a single scene where he tried to save Manik from a falling billboard and failed, at the tail end of S1.

That's it redemption done and that too after having Nanadani's character butchered brutally for months to showcase Aryaman and his cowardly, cheap attempts to harm Maink for months and ended up with her having to lamely say "I tried to tell you the truth but couldn't" to Manik at the end. WTHell was that!

Furthermore I hated that they had Manik say that he would have done the same thing when he was told the truth about Aryaman by Nanadani. It was just the height of ridiculousness by the cvs to equate a coward and psycho like Aryaman to Manik. Manik was nothing like Aryaman even in his worst avatar as Monster Manik.

Why do I call Aryaman a coward:...he was a coward because he didn't have the guts to come after Manik face to face and had to resort to cheap tricks to harm him or try and kill him many times. Manik never goes after people playing tricks behind their backs. He himself goes after them and faces them and confronts them.

And Aryaman was a psycho who without any substantial evidence was out to literally KILL someone and that too for a sibling he had little contact with for 10 effing years.

Do I believe Manik would have also tried to kill someone who had killed his loved one. Hell yeah! Monster Manik would have, but the difference is he wasn't a psycho that he would be out to kill someone without getting the facts right first like Aryaman... and...second he would confront the person himself and would give a fair chance to prove themselves while this coward acted the judge and jury himself based on things Harshad and Soha said who he knew very little about.

And NOW I am supposed to buy his friendship with Nanadani when his first and foremost expressed emotion since Manik came back had been bitterness. Bitterness that the friend whom he saw going berserk with grief that the poor girl was hallucinating her beloved BF everywhere is suddenly reunited with her supposedly dead BF despite all the odds.

So please excuse me if I don't feel sorry for this character just because he was shown to mouth a few dialogues about how he does not want to come between two lovers in an episode or two after all that and attempts at guilt tripping her about neglecting him when she was spending some quality time with Manik over the phone just a couple of days after Maniks come back.

Since Manik's comeback cvs in their zeal to showcase Aryaman's one sided love, for me they failed to strike a balance with the pure friendship relationship they were attempting to sell for the most part of S2 before Maniks come back. Most of the time they were too hung up on having Aryaman express his bitterness because of his onesided love to show him express his happiness for Nanadani that she got her love back. They only had him express his being happy for Nandi just once... just a couple of episodes before where else the rest of the time he was being shown bitter towards this whole scenario.

Sorry but I can do without his pity party and would be happy to see him back to his psychotic negative mode because THAT is more believable about his character than the zabardasty redemption sold to us in S1 and this zabardasty bff of Nandani BS being sold to us by CVs in S2.

Until and unless the Cvs can show something substantial about this character then I care a fig about him and would continue to do so.

PS: Those who can relate to Aryaman depending on whatever the cvs sell whenever they want it, good on you. I can't and hence the post.

I agree totally. I don't like aryaman character n Kj acting as I don't think he can act n understand acting as he only does scene.

Surely Arya's character was never well thought out or well written, he's been thrown into the mix to create cliche climaxes, a non existence and non believable climaxes. If only they would have given some thought to his character, and given a proper redemption and justification track and then shown how he become so close to Nandini, then we could have relate to him and his feelings for Nandini. But the way they shown his character from S1 to current, no one is able to relate or feel for him, the blame solemnly goes on bad writing, CV tsk tsk tsk !

All the discussions that are currently taking place on his character are based on current track and not how we got here. If you go based on how we got here, and does his character deserve anything, I would say nada. As much as we can't stop our selves from comparing S1 to S2, too much is at lost here, and there's no means at the end.

Bang on dear👏

You have put it down perfectly...Aryaman is one character I feel has no substance what so ever .

His mogamba type villainous act left a bitter impression on me.

I feel Harshad is more of a man than him.

He hid behind Nandini to attack Manik behind his back...And that scene in the medical room where he tried to create misunderstanding between MaNan but failed .gudness the way he was sh**ting it cuz Manik caught him that just showed what a big fattu he is.If Manik was in his place then Manik will come right out and take his revenge.

Come on if you wanted to bring someone between MaNan it should be some one at least in the same level as Manik.

Even now if he was such a gud friend then whats with the looks he gives Manik.Not once did I see him being genuinly happy for Nandini cuz she has got her happiness her Manik back.He always has a disgusted expression and that makes me hate him more.

And from the beginning Nandini has acted abnormal when it came to Aryaman.Nevr understood her reason for hiding Arya truth from Manik or her way of deffendinig him so strongly even when she knew he was trying to hurt Manik.

And now tho she is leaving no chance to protect and worry for him but I loved the way lManik calmly told her they need to concentrate on bigger issue like abeers future.

And aryaman behaviour reminded me of primary school when our friend will suddenly ignore you and play with someone else and we will sit and sulk."Nandini I will do anything for your happiness"and then next day start ignoring her calls so she runs behind you feeling guilty...Nice very nice!

Exactly! Consider Dhruv as an example. He was shown as a sweet guy and having a great relationship with Manik. But then halfway through they turned him into a selfish, insecure fool which I hated so much.

But the thing is that I lost my love for Dhruv because the cvs stuck to him being fickle and insecure regarding Manik for the most of the time until the very end of S1.

With regards to Aryaman, he was an out and out NEGATIVE character and many of us know him as that psychotic Aryaman.

After that just within two months his friendship vs love feelings towards Nanadani are being portrayed and most of it comes off like as if he was attracted to Nanadani which was the reason why he got close to her as a friend in the first place. That is why the bitterness is there mostly instead of being happy for her with Maniks come back.

If his first and foremost feelings towards Nandani was friendship it would have been happiness for her that he would feel instead of feeling bitter for most of the time.

I guess you can relate to him somewhat based on the current track, but I STILL can't. For me the cvs have failed to strike that balance in showcasing his 'pure' selfless friendship wala feelings with his one sided love for her and that does not allow me to feel pretty much anything other than annoyance towards him to be honest.

I think aryaman befriended nandini for the sole reason on scoring on her ( as harshad so nicely said), remember the scene in s1, when arya and manik had a heated discussion, arya said nandini can have a life far beyond you...and I think the main reason aryaman look more psychotic is kj's bad acting...he does over acting...he was the first actor on kyy I didn't like and that got nothing to do with the character. ..dashy/ jasmine played negative characters and we hated the characters but still love the actors...kj I disliked from the first scene...

Bang On! Basically this is the reason why I can't connect with Aryamaan. He says he wants Nandini to be happy, but then sulks if she spends more time with Manik. Nandini being Naive as always goes on a guilt trip, saying she is ignoring Aryamaan! The fact that Navya keeps giving advices to Nandini about how she ignored Aryamaan when Manik returned makes me hate him even more! And what annoys me more is Nandini's OTT concern for Aryamaan, that she ends up ignoring Manik!
Also I can't buy their friendship! Arya is S1 tried to kill Manik! Why would you want to be BFF's with someone who tried to kill your Boyfriend without any solid evidence? Also Arya had feelings for Alya in S1 how come the sudden infatuation with Nandini?
His character is just confused!

I agree his character is confusing. I personally don't like the expressions he makes when nandini hugging manik.also how can I forget that he tried to kill manik in several ways. but CVS didn't show us he was regretting for his deeds.if they show us that then we will able to connect his character. but they only show his sudden attraction towards nandini in maniks absence. he wittnesed their love so many times. especially when manik was in hospital the way they lying on the hospital bed hugging each other. its enough to melt anyone's heart.and now he was loving that girl .their is no logic in this. make Arya and nandu good friends because for me nandini only have one best friend and that is none other than her manik.
