Are people really siding with Tejo and her behavior/attitude?

I have been reading a lot of posts and comments of how Neil is to blame, he forced Tejo to marry him and ruined her life. Did Neil forcefully ask her to marry? No, as he is not that sort of character.

Just because he married the girl he loves doesn't mean he was happy on how it happened. I'm really baffled at how people are not seeing how Tejo is behaving is wrong on so many levels.

Tejo has never liked Neil even when he was helping her she never did as she in her obsession of Rituraj. So her hating on him now is nothing surprising as only thinking about herself and how her dreams have been destroyed. Very self centered if u ask me and I'm so glad that Manjari is there in the house to set her straight, gna be interesting their interactions from now on. Tejo saying Neil did blackmail and all, really? Go ask Juhi the question on why she ran away and did all this as Neil didn't ask her to 'Run away from the marriage and people will get Tejo married to me to save ur families izzat' did he now? Juhi did this on her own so question her. Neil was just honest with her beforehand that he loves Tejo which is being fair to Juhi

Tejo treats Neil worse than dirt which is wholly unacceptable, treat at least like a human being. That's not difficult is it.

People need to hold Tejo accountable for her words and actions aswell. If ur gna blame Neil, then hold Tejo accountable for her actions post marriage with such crude words and actions which are nothing but embarrassing in my mind.

Exactly the point. He is not shown to be someone who does not care about others. So why did he not care about what Tejaswini thought about this relationship?

Honestly, the comments are mostly about her right to give consent to the marriage and not exactly her behaviour. The law and the Constitution of our land gives us the right to freely choose our partner and no one can force us. This right was violated in Tejaswini's case. Now, even prisoners have their basic rights, shouldn't Tejaswini have hers? The way they forced her because of parivaar ki izzat was totally uncalled for. Forced marriages caused due to emotional manipulation (here by her own family and mother, along with circumstances as Neil says yes, smiling, clearly happy for his fate) are not justified in any way. Think about it, this marriage could have been totally avoided if and only if Neil had said no. He didn't hear Teju's plea. Remember, she was begging him to not marry her as soon as the antarpat was removed.

Juhi was extremely impulsive in her decision. As soon as Neil confessed to her about his love for Teju (which was surely a correct decision but extremely delayed; as they say, a stitch in time saves nine), she says 'mujhpe bharosa kijiye', then and there itself. Perhaps shed a few tears, but didn't bat an eyelid. That did contribute to the mess as she could've thought over it for some time. I did post a question in EDT about whether a hypothetical scenario could have been possible where she could have done something other than running away, but it hasn't got any replies yet.

Coming to the part about Tejaswini's behaviour, I totally agree. No one should endorse/is endorsing such pathetic, rude behaviour. She started disliking Neil just because Ruturaj's autograph on her hand got erased due a minor, insignificant incident. That's an absolutely idiotic reason to hate someone to this extent. She doesn't treat Neil as a human being worthy of her respect, let alone attention. Quite a brat at some instances and self-centred at most. Heck, she has probably forgotten how Neil helped her in her direst situations (dropped her home when she was left stranded in Nagpur, saved her from a tiger, saved her father's life, helped do the rituals for her father after his death and even got Vedaan admitted to a good school). She seems to be an ungrateful person with her recent comments and actions. On one hand, it seems quite characteristic of Teju to be like that since she does take people at face value and is arrogant. On the other hand, her personality neither gives her the leverage to treat people according to her whims, nor the right to disrespect a fellow human being, let alone a life partner.

Both the characters are at fault for their behaviour due to their own thoughtless actions. I call it thoughtless because they didn't consider the consequences. Manjiri says Neil does not live according to others, instead he keeps others before him. So where was this Neil when he was smiling and said yes? Why did he think only about his feeling of love and not of the woman he loves when he said, 'yeh shaadi zaroor hogi'? He didn't keep his beloved Aparajita's wish before him. There's a reason they say, if you truly love someone, let them go. If they come back, they are yours. If they don't, they weren't meant to be. He should've considered her desperate pleadings, and he could've won over her afterwards. He didn't. No wonder all the characters are greyish-black .
