Did you notice in the BTS where Dua asks DK who addresses wife ji and he replied me, that part was chopped in the episode. Also, today’s dance sequence was meant for Mannat to imagine Vik. I think the makers want to clear the air for the audience that there is nothing between Mannat and DK, and that the MU is only from Vik’s perspective. I’m still waiting for more episodes to understand DK’s POV. So far, his scenes have mostly been with Dua, and despite being close to him, Dua hasn’t shared anything about the chef stories or live sessions.
I will be surprised if they show DK started developing feelings for Mannat. From what i have seen so far i don't think she is as happy as i thought she would be. Maybe there will be other scenes where it will be shown differently. You can tell Mannat has lost something. It's like if you didn't know her life before you won't pick up on it. It can't be lost on DK that she hasn't moved on from Vikrant. If he hadn't seen the previous Mannat i could understand him falling for her. His devotion seems to be on Dua. We have assumed he bears no guilt for Vikrant not being there with his child because he hasn't said it but maybe he is aware of the damage and considers it irreparable and he has vowed to be there for Vikrant's daughter hence the bond.
