Tbh, I dislike Nikki but the way all tasks keep pairing her up with Jaan is sort of similar to this (not as extreme though). And there is no backlash there as well.
Na but Nikki’s is different IMO - no matter what she says re Jaan needing to stay away and play his game independent of her - she milks that angle as much as he does.
If I felt for a moment that she’s uncomfortable with this angle - or she’s truly reluctant - then I’d say otherwise - but I’ve not felt that for a moment thus far. And I think most people don’t - which is why there’s no backlash.
Neither are Jaan and Punnu the same IMO - Jaan sticks to Nikki sure, claims to like her sure - but Punnu’s attachment and all is on another level entirely.
A woman being clearly reluctant and having expressed seriously that this is not a good time for a relationship/really doesn’t want this, and a man/showmance being imposed on her nonetheless - this I believe would definitely result in backlash, as it should. It’s a shame it’s not so for the reverse as well.
I said this for Hiten too in S11 - he disliked Shilpa slapping his butt jab dekho - but she had a free pass and things like “Hiten ko footage milti hain na” was said for Hiten. Had it been the reverse - he’d have been flayed inside and outside. It’s the usual deal on this show.
