Loved your analysis. I feel that Vikrant is trapped in the Ericksons stage of trust Vs Mistrust. As a child he lost his parents and the salujas fed him a story that gave him comfort. That has become his sweet spot. He chooses to believe what they say over what he sees and now the conflict is between what they say and what he feels.
Vikrant was molly coddled in the guise of affection and care and was kept closely guarded so that he doesnt stumble on his truth. Mannat with her fiercely independent streak came as a whiff of fresh air and swept him off his feet. She exerts her HAQ on him yet the Salujas and Raisinghs are playing their games craftily to see that he doesnt break free and remains in his disillusioned state.
He chooses family and friends over love and is raised to protect them. When he perceived the truth of Bobby 1 he did not hesitate to take a stance to do what is right. Took Shalini as his sister and promised to protect her. The same in the case of Anu he spoke to nikhil and his family nudged by Mannat who has begun to shape his thought process.
He terms the ONS as a sin and asserts he can never ever give Mannats place to anyone in his life. Yet coerced by his parents to treat her as an ajnabi he is confused.
His family will feed him certain ideas and he will abide by their values. Vikrant has been a victim of circumstances raised to believe that you trust your family under all circumstances .
Mannat was a victim too born as a bin maangi Mannat yet Shruti made her life mission to shower love on Mannat without attaching any strings to operate through her and have her way. She has raised Mannat to stand up for what is right even if the world is against her. This is the stark difference between Mannat and Vikrant and knowing her true mom has made Mannat stronger to fight back whereas Vikrant weakened by the lied and drugs already will be shattered when he learns his true identity of Aman.
Vikrant has been making foolish judgements trusting the wrong people yet he is not an evil soul. His family and friends are his weakness .
