To be honest that essence started diminishing after Anuj's accident. Just before that he said he would never cross any boundaries and will be a friend forever. After accident he started flirting on full force. That accident scene was not meant for Anuj but for the show itself. I did not like how the story turned 180 degrees after that. From a calm and mature person he started behaving like a kid. Same with Anupama, a woman being in love for 27 years with a person cannot start feeling for anyone so soon (saying this from personal experience). They should have shown that development slowly along with her professional growth. But Oh well... PHIR-END or FRY-END?
Even post accident, I somehow felt connected as Anu was giving those subtle hints, those tongue slips, stares which may give Anuj the courage to be little flirty to test the waters.. he himself had acknowledged that multiple times that he was behaving like Shahrukh khan and Anu might not like that or he was confused if he could go ahead and there could be any hope in their relationship...
Those kitchen flirts, the bangle scene, india Pakistan match dialouges, bholuram.. everything was entertaining and soothing
But post DV track... they completely lost it... they just butchered the essence of the show.. essence of Maan...
With that wedding scene and car episode.. they seemed to come back on track but this time with this relatives, adoption, SR/no SR track.. they have completely drowned down the drain now...
