How I see is Mannat has too much on her plate to focus on her unrequited feelings which she has not admitted even to herself. The only time she can't get hold of her emotions is when Vikrant gets close to her and she looses herself. That is why she is being shown to keep her distance. Not letting him speak, not staying even when he gets close, finding excuses to leave the room. Because she knows if he gets close, she cannot control herself and loose focus and she cannot afford that. I see her pain clearly when Neetu taunts her and shows off Malla as Vikrant's fiance but she is not letting herself get carried away, because at this point she cannot afford it.
Bold even in the BTS I could see the sadness when Neetu taunts about V on Malla's hand. And what is the point in showing her sadness if 2 adults are willingly getting married and the whole family hates her presence. She will only add more trouble to her already trouble laced life. She is chosing to find out what ARS knows about her mom so she can atleast save Shurti.

Yaa Mannat knowing ARS is her mother episode 



why can't they show Vikrant doing some investigation instead of walking around sulking , he has so many cases lying around
