This is going to be a short post because, I think, majority of the members, agree on the fact that their relationship is based on how the characters scrutinize one another based on their experiences.
Vikram conducts himself according to what is happening in front of him. He's grown up using his mother's surname. Legally, this is okay but people, like DP, are accustomed to the fact that one should employ their father's surname and, historically, this tradition still is in practice. In real life, recent developments have been made wherein the female counterparts still retain their original surnames. As we don't know the exact backdrop to his story, whether it was for his father being a MCP, EMA-related matter, financial reason, mother's thoughts differing from the father's thoughts followed by some divorce/custody situation, etc. A lot of reasons can be speculated but ultimately, it is Vikram and Jagat who know the actual reasoning behind the Vikram's detest for his biological father. It would be interesting to see if Vikram's family comes into the picture aside from Jagat so that further clarity is established for viewers probably. Regarding his matter with Priyanka, yeah one would infer that they both chose to date because of external looks but Vikram noticed Priyanka's confidence and being-of-today's age person. He has started to observe that the equation is not going as per his expectation and this factor is beneficial because it gives one clarity that probably the individual is not as expected. He's still trying his best to see like maybe one more chance to ensure further clarity. His physical build, as Tannu pointed in one of her posts, definitely symbolizes the fact that he needs to know validation for his worth.
Regarding Garima, their first encounter was fine but the actual encounter was initiated when he came to their house for the store license approval and how he begged to differ from DP. The F2F interaction is probably one of my favorites scenes because of the way it was executed. I have to applaud Ashok sir for enacting DP's character, who despite being in his wheelchair, woh taas se maas nhi huye in his POV. The point where he observed was when Garima tried her best to prohibit the situation from further escalation. In the process, Vikram thought that she was wrong to support her father in his thoughts while she was only thinking that DP's health could deteriorate if the face-off continued onwards. He doesn't detest for her physical looks but, rather, her actions on trying to deescalate the situation. She has picked up on the fact that, at least as Gunnu, she became special to him hence his perturbation on Gunnu being MIA during the whole wedding fiasco and the satisfaction which was evident from her facial expressions.
Even the mangalsutra scene where Garima tried to get ahold of the mangalsutra from his pocket -- she thought she would save him from DP's wrath by grabbing onto the nuptial chain whereas he thought she might have to face DP's wrath because people make synthesize wrong generalizations on them. But, amidst all of this, she was rebuked by him for her action even though he forgave her. Again, I wouldn't hold him accountable for this because he explicitly didn't know the actual Garima at that point.
Gunnu- With Gunnu, Vikram becomes his usual self. He even gave Gunnu his mother's wrist band. The moment he noticed it on Garima's wrist, he was bound to naturally interrogate the origin of the band. Even though Susheela and Garima were able to weasel their way from the scenario, he didn't look entirely convinced. It shows that he's reacting according to what is presented in front of him.
There have been several speculations as to how their relationship might turn out but, sometimes, not everything happens our way so I would love to see how the writers continue to advance onto their equations. I have seen the role of alter-ego in developing a relationship so nothing novel but what's novel in their equation is the factor of Vikram's reaction which doesn't get violent or chaotic. Rather's he reacts naturally to what he observes.
Please add onto this post or something I might've missed out on. Also, please let me know your feedback too as it helps me get a better picture of this duo.
