I don't like to get into ML vs FL as a rule because if I like a ship, I love both characters.
But I am seeing such a meltdown in X as well. I am truly puzzled. This is a rant post in general. Alll the characters are equally at fault at different points. Why are we not able to see ?
We have seen DK with Mannat, Mannat giving him all rights as Dua's father. She knows Vikrant's anger therefore has blindly believed whatever Dua said. i am still hoping Dua will tell her how he saved her.
That apart, did she ever imagine Vik will not marry her; when she hid the truth? No. Did she imagine Vik would throw his parents without a backward glance at them to see how they are managing? No. Like it or not, Mannat has seen the worst side of Vikrant.
Plus, she has seen him with Yaashika & Yuvi. Y hugged Vik. We as the audience know he was uncomfortable, did she know. Why should she presume he has not moved on??
Yashika was there in Vik's first ever interaction with his daughter. She is there in every significant moment of his life; she controls the domestic situation in his house, sleeps in his room. What more do we want to know her place in his life? Can he replace Mannat with her, not at all, but she has made space in his life!! Why are we ignoring her?? And she is Vikrant's choice.
Coming to DK, he has been with Mannat during her worst time. He supported her & helped her get back on her feet. He has been with Mannat through Ritu's ill heath, everything. But DK was never her choice of support. There was no other option at that point in life. To be fair, till now they have a platonic relationship between them. Did she keep Rotu away from Vik? Vik left them with no choice but to depend on DK.
Of course, now her Baba jaap is getting annoying. Their chai pe charcha is getting annoying from a viewing perspective. Point noted, & locked in. Mannat atp, trusts DK over Vikrant.
What I am irritated is not that Dua has not yet told them Vik saved her. But both DK and Mannat have not pulled her up for using Bunty's phone, lying to all of them, and running away! DK knew everything but was not alert. And Mannat is not seeing that he is too casual about these things.
At this point, both Manvik are poised to move to a different phase. Yashika is using Yuvi to get Vik to marry her. He is in a relationship with Yashika where marriage is the next step, let's accept it.
Please tell me even if Vik sees DK, Mannat, he will not say yes to Yaashika's proposal. Someone give me that guarantee! If you say he deserves to move on, then good for him.
He will then face a dilemma when he knows about Dua. Am sure we will continue to blame Mannat, saying Vik deserves to be with Dua. No, he needs to wake up. He has noticed one significant aspect - ARS. This should lead him to be suspicious.
If we are going to blame the writing for Vikrant, let's blame the writing for Mannat too!!
Phew! Rant over.
