Oh look at the fireworks. 
Ranveer is no schmuck that needs saving from villain DP by internet people. He has had his fair share of relationships during the courtship period with DP. He even admitted to it in the episode but not so much in detail as DP, because not everyone has the foot-in-mouth disease as her.
As for equal partnership, it is a myth bhailog. There is nothing like equal partnership. How much ever you try there will always be one partner sacrificing/compromising more than the other in the relationship. It is usually the woman, with either leaving their careers after bacha log; or if working, handling both house and kids; transferring where her husband goes. And the balance is already skewed when women have to leave their families and adjust to her husband's. Guys court girls harder with gifts and what not. Again skewed balance. Now if a girl is after a guy with the same fervour, then it is unladylike. I mean you don't have to look far. Look in your own homes. Tell me mothers haven't sacrificed more compared to fathers in the way they have wanted to live. That doesn't demonise the fathers (because they do shoulder their share of responsibilities) but states the simple fact that balance in relationships is never, ever there.
Of course, DP is privileged enough to not have to deal with all this. She is blessed to have found Ranveer who was there for her through tough times. Now for once it is a man who is the bigger compromiser in a relationship and all hell breaks loose.
Alia compromises more in her relationship which is certainly obvious to anyone (from not talking too loud, mingling with the Kapoors, particularly Neetu. Does Ranbir share the same camaraderie with Soni and Mahesh?). Similarly Kat does in hers. She has tried to assimilate to a different culture, to a different family and customs. Do we put the same expectation on Vicky that he attend every holiday that Kat's large family celebrates? Of course, these are not pointed out because the other person is happy to compromise because "love". Ranveer might feel the same way. It's is neither disrespectful nor cheating.
