A post in appreciation of writers/Vikrant Saluja...
I really loved Vikrants outburst on Puneet yesterday.
It was a much needed scene from his perspective and gave a little more insight into him.
We are starved for a monologue/solo scenes of his where there could a window to this thoughts... this outburst was IMO a rare one like that.
Mezbani is a means of livelihood for RS family and Viks dream and by attacking it directly, Malla has made a big mistake.
Purely from Vikrants POV (and excusing the fact that he didnt investigate on how Mannat got the shares )... Vik was right in blasting Punnu.
He thankfully saw the drama Punnu was doing and rightly ticked him off.
Precisely for the same reason I am fine with whatever Malla is doing...
Is Vik wrong in shouting at Mannat and ignoring all the harsh words and abuse thrown at her? Absolutely yes....
But what happened in the episode was a direct attack on his dream, his livelihood and his career.
Vik... like he told Punnu, was the most affected person when the share transfer happened... and Mannat did it in the harshest way possible.... To be very honest... it is an unfair mean with which she took the sign from Aish.... so I dont believe even Mannat is going to contest that ever... she has valid reasons to do so... the approach was a bit wrong though...
Anyway... Vik saw it as a betrayal from Mannat... he would have given it to her anyway... as his wife
... but she snatched it ...
He has grown out of that hurt thankfully... he mentioned it on Teej and then to Punnu...
But yes... practically speaking Vik is the most affected guy... for personal and professional reasons... whereas Punnu was being high handed...
So Vik was skeptical if she can pull through and when Mannat over promised to the investors, he was worried... blasted her (partly contributed by Malla)... and then he saw Mannats efforts in making it go through... that comforted him that she is willing to take it ahead honestly.
The hurt came from Punnu who pretended and yet did not help... someone Vik considers as his family... Punnus ego got better of him and his outbursts at not wanting to feed poor children contributed to it.
Now when Malla will be exposed, is when Vikrants frustration and anger will be at zenith... since for the people whom he thinks it should matter, do not support his ideas, his dreams... and Mannat on the other hand stands by him...
Malla in her hate has jeopardized her relationship badly... even if Mannat had been jailed and the chapter over.... Viks career and Mezbani would have taken a hit in a real world scenario... which Malla has not foreseen.
Now in her expose and Punnu's role in it.... Vik might for the first time see how vile these people are... all they want is to defeat Mannat without caring if he suffers in the process.
It might be too early to speculate but I do feel he will start opening his eyes to all the nonsense that goes behind his back.
Vik was hurt and upset with Mannat.... but with this stunt... his dream is also at stake... Malla in her hate for Mannat has spoiled his and her future as well.
A special appreciation for Adnan that even when Vik shouts at Mannat, it looks like frustration and hurt... whereas there was another one which looked like hate!!! Thats the skill of an actor!!!
awesome post!
