Hey guys, very interesting discussion is going on here....
I will just try to put in my pov here.... No offence to anyone...
Firstly, about Viaan's staring... I get that some find it as creepy but it was just maker's way of showing his love for Katha...
And frankly, I don't get why that is so problematic because he used to stare at her before too... That was always there throughout the show... From the ONS till now.... In fact both of them stare at eachother....
And now it's not like Katha told him at any point that his staring/behaviour is effecting her in any way... She is just worried that he is getting his hopes up... And she specifically told him that she has no place for him in her heart and he respected that ..
In fact, the way it is shown that Viaan doesn't even want her to realise he is staring at her.... He always turns the other way when he notices her watching...
Secondly, about Viaan pressuring her... I don't think it's the case either.... He expressed his love she rejected him.... And then he came to her cabin to just tell her his pov and left... After that he was maintaining his distance albeit staring at her... Which I talked about above....
It was Katha who initiated the topic from then on... Even in the precap of today's episode that's what happened....
Thirdly, him talking about his love life with Aarav, well I don't like it that much either but I am taking this as plot device for some future setup because it feels like they need him specifically involved in this... And they couldn't find a better way... I will see where it goes ...
And finally, Viaan not handling his feelings towards Katha in a mature way.... This I consider as what the character's journey is all about.... For a person who opened himself to falling in love for the first time, it can be a very overwhelming experience. You can't expect him to act maturely all the time... That too a flawed character like Viaan... As far as I am concerned he is a mature person in every other aspect of his life except for his love life... That's how he is from the beginning.... Otherwise the ONS thing wouldn't even happen...
I believe as his love for her grows... And when time, circumstances,people around him and maybe even Katha herself tests his own faith in his feelings... We can see him grow to understand himself and his feelings in a better way and hence become more mature....
I don't expect Katha to accept his love or even consider it right now... It is just the beginning.... I believe she is going to destroy him and herself before she can accept his love and her own feelings. Let's see where makers go with this....
All in all, I know this show has some flaws but I believe they have their heart in the right place and are doing their best to tell their story as efficiently as possible. I guess we just have to wait and watch whether they will be able to justify the potential of this show ... Sincerely, I hope they do.... 😍😍😍🤞🤞🤞
Thank you for this pov. I probably now understand the staring thing a little more than before and the fact that he's never been mature with love.
That he's just fallen in love and it's out of his usual control, that he wants her in his vision all time.
That being said, I would really want the writers to make it a point to include that all throughout, Katha had admired her secret staring (which is apparently not so secretive) and coming in office with a new excuse everyday later in the future episodes which would kind of complete the circle and not put Viaan in a teenage lover spot.

depends on how you read viaan in the beginning. my take was that ONS was about control as twisted as that was. thats why his reactions in the current phase seem out of character. I have written a lot on that earlier in mili's thread the last few days and so I won't bore people by repeating the same yet again. 😆
I can understand acting like a goof ball if this was ehsaan. but viaan, nah. it feels strange. yes, very much like a teenager.
as for her destroying him, I look forward to it!...
the show needs some angst and masala to get it going. otherwise, drama should end in june. (am keeping to it ssp! 😜)

As for Katha, I am also looking forward to her thinking about Viaan and his goofiness and be in a comfortable,happy state without all the guilt, turmoil and anxiety...🤞🤞🤞

at least aarav being friendly with adults make sense story wise -- home schooled and only company were all these old people in the complex. so he is more comfortable with them. viaan as an adult should know better 🤦
what irks me more is that aarav has been taught that he is the man of the house. he tells mamaG that it is his job to make her happy and make her less stressed. he is a kid. let the kid be a kid. isn't that what she wanted for him? give him some chores or something and stop yammering on about 'man of the house' to a child who isn't even a pre-teen.
True, all the more reason to hammer into him to be careful. This boy happily got into papaG’s car and went home with him.
Regarding being the man of the house…. what to say? 🤷♀️ yup, teach him to get his own food, clean up after that, do the dishes, iron clothes…. and stuff like that.

shimo -- I was one of those who was okay with viaan offering one night stand because it was a straightforward deal between two consenting adults (regardless of what one's feel is about ONS in general). if katha had said 'no', he would not have pursued her and neither would her job been affected. even in the hotel room, he gave her option to leave.
where has that viaan gone? he never broke into her physical or emotional space during that period. it was all her choice. at the moment, it is uncomfortable to watch because he is veering into harassment territory. he is pushing her even when she is clearly saying she is not interested.
I really prefer the old pigheaded egoistic viaan because he atleast had a sense of boundaries and space. he would never chase after a woman who rejected him and spout nonsense.
@bold, he always invade personal space. Remember what he did in Dubai or catch Katha's hand in airport or deceively called her in ex boss office just to get his answer. He reached Katha's house also.
Well more than egoistic, I find he is stubborn and I liked his stubbornness didn't go after falling in love. So stubbornness is his characteristics.

hahahaha 🤣.... we should be both around. I keep being tempted to drop this drama and thats what it sounds like for you as well. so if neither is there, how would if we won or lost the bet? 😆
