I think you both have point.... both of them isnt that bad character to bash them.... they aren't even that good as you said dudh ka dhula aur dhuli...... but whenever such things happens which creates misunderstanding between the couple. I always find supporting the female lead that doesn't mean male lead is bad. it just I can't see a female lead sobbing in pain.... look I'm not bashing him but there's some things I didn't like about him. once dri told him she doesn't like the way lava touch him or cling him.... but still he continued the same things. he let lava touch him..... he didn't even stopped there he talked with dri ruthlessly. i didn't mind when he announced that he's going to marry lava ofcourse there's something going inside his mind. but why he needed to drag her in that way. he just wanted to take her sign on divorce papers. he can do it in different way. talking about the bathroom kiss scene then I'm sure he also knew why dri pushed him. When he said Dil ki bate Dil samajh hi jata I thought he has a soft corner... He even started behaving nicely with dri after the fire scene happened in his room. Then why the sudden change after that kiss this is still a big question for me which will never solve
Talking about dri.... She's in the same fault' she had to trust on rakshit instead she trusted on Shikhar who's still fishy grey character
