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 Nikkiās 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 sheās uncomfortable with this angle - or sheās truly reluctant - then Iād say otherwise - but Iāve not felt that for a moment thus far. And I think most people donāt - which is why thereās no backlash.
Neither are Jaan and Punnu the same IMO - Jaan sticks to Nikki sure, claims to like her sure - but Punnuās 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 doesnāt want this, and a man/showmance being imposed on her nonetheless - this I believe would definitely result in backlash, as it should. Itās a shame itās 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 āHiten ko footage milti hain naā was said for Hiten. Had it been the reverse - heād have been flayed inside and outside. Itās the usual deal on this show.
