YES you could be right from where yo are watching ,in a way its good for him not to join the hands with arrogant Anku , because I have starting watching it letter on .So I might have missed a lot of the episodes .
He knows,ankita before the show- so he knows how is ankita. And infront of mannara,the way she behaves,even any sane person will become arrogant.
Every person has flaws,i admit.mannara surely has some good things also beside flaws. Ankita also. Bas arrogant thats why no one should be her friend, this is not cool. Eise to duniya mein kisi ka koi dost nehi ho sakta hain
