I don't see a reason why there is an issue that Mannat has put Dharya's name. Pre-leap, Manna came to the conclusion that her chapter with Vikrant is over, and there is no turning back from that. [He is history as far as she knows].

Vikrant left her at the altar -- didn't complete the wedding ... so for the society, she is an unwed mother. She is protecting Dua by making Dharya her father. [Society is a different beast, and it is a show -- where our moral science lessons do not apply ... if it did, then Mannat and Vikrant should never reunite, and here we are looking forward to their reunion].

What truth should they reveal to a 7-year-old Dua? Dharya is not your father ... your father refused to accept you ... you are an unwanted child.

If a writer has written this scene, they will know how to resolve it when the time comes.

True. It is not easy to be an unwed mother even in 2026.

Live example is Masaba Gupta who is getting sl*t shamed even now.

Being an adoptive or divorcee or widow mother is different from being an unwed mother. But even in these cases specially divorcee or widow mother, a woman has to go thru a lot...

So we expect Vikrant in 1 day to find out about Vish, dead Dadi ,memories of the accident back , no proof from truth gang to show his memories are wrong , that he was drugged for years, Mannat still openly supporting the criminals and forgive all of them instantly

Vs

DK who was a DCP continued to support criminals for weeks, ignored Mannat's pleas and requests, even ignored the fact Mannat was found locked in a trunk and finally he himself heard the truth from his own Dadi. This is what it took him to believe Mannat's version

We honestly expect too much from Vikrant who was traumatized with partial memories, lies, deception but give excuses to DK for everything he did. Vikrant didn't get to hear dadi version since she died because of DK's stupidity. Would DK himself have believed if dadi didn't tell him the truth? But still he has to believe what DK is saying is truth why? After so many lies why are we expecting Vikrant trusts any of their versions? He may have trusted Dadi if some one had managed to keep her alive.

We give leeway to every character but crucify and except the world from Vikrant. Infact even Mannat gets more understanding by minimizing the impact she played in the destruction with her lies, deception as she "did it" for Vikrant's benefit. The same Vikrant forgot everything the moment he heard about Shurti and decided to let go of all his complaints, but we ignore this fact as well.

Green... nobody asked him to do that... not Mannat nor the audience.... she even begged and pleaded... so did Ronnie and Gagan who fell to his feet asking for forgiveness.... yet that didnt budge him .... what kind of behaviour was that? where was the empathy in Vik???? Everyone including you criticized him then for acting out of sheer anger....

Mannat didnt forgive them instantly either... she heard their version, investigated and then forgave them...

Forget Mannat and RoTu for a second.... what did Gagan do to deserve such treatment from Vikrant????

Cant believe that to point fingers at one character which majority doesnt like, the same problems which Vik has since day one get justified now....

Red... because he is the ML.... if there is anyone who should be showing 'growth' it is him.... not any sidey... nor RoTu... last I checked.... everyone who didnt want a leap was hoping and waiting for Viks redemption.... even yesterday there were comments that he didnt show tiniest of empathy for Dua when Mannat was being taken away.... everyone is waiting for Viks redemption... and as per the story makers are showing Dua DK bond looks like how he will be redeemed.... if you dont see it that way.... then nothing can convince you...

But why should there be any expectations from side characters confuses me???

Blue... no they havent... both the forum and X was heavily criticizing her for panic and downplaying her trauma ... questioning a hug while Vik did exactly what she had feared. X was questioning why Mannat called Vik as destroyer of their lives when she knew how he would react and he is doing the same thing she anticipated...

The frustration at certain characters is understandable, it was for Malla... it will happen for Y in future .... but I have it said n number of times to you.... understand where the character stands... they are not going to behave the way we expect because they dont know the full truth.... we can question and judge them when the whole truth is presented to them...

If Vik gets leeway for acting obnoxious... so should everyone else.... extend the same courtesy to every character... Dua.. a 7 year old is expected to be sane and mature and not form wrong opinions of Vik but ML gets a free pass because his alternative is not a villain and has done certain favours?

We are thinking from the perspective that RoTu, Mannat & DK aren't aware that Vikrant doesn't know about her pregnancy..

Mannat needed social security + all the things that have happened in pre-leap uska alag stress on her so at that point of time she did what she felt right..

See the BTS it wasn't for society, it was on a whim. We cannot put this on society, we need to accept they are habitual liars and think what they do is always right.

Bold: Is it going to be as simple as that? Saying to DK i need another favour, i need to change the name on the BC to Vikrant and then he agrees?

Ofc not that simple, true colours come out openly 🤪😝

Vik's "mere paas kuch nahin hai" Literally gives a input into his real feelings... All this while he was representing and acting as if yuvi, vish, yash are his family but this above dialogue is what he actually feels.. all these while these feelings are suppressed by him with illusions of yashika, vishaka etc..this is the reason we shouldn't give prominence to his words or his actions that much, all of his words and actions are just shallow to cover up his real feelings..... Only when he becomes vulnerable he let's out his real feeling here and there between that conversation

When he says "uske paas sabh kuch hai toh, mere pass bhi yuvi hai".... he doesn't even consider vishaka or yashika as part of his life, not even as a second thought... Because no matter what even now the position of partner and parents in his life is still occupied by mannat and rotu and cannot be replaced and he knows it that's why even as a second thought he doesn't consider yash Or vish even though they are very actively present in his life... That's because they are just illusions he created for himself so that his real feelings doesn't come out, because if they come out he wants his family back which is not possible because they themselves left him...

Yes, from vik pov they left him and not other wise because he never intended to leave them forever, he thought they will take initiative to make things better or atleast will let vik make amends.... But by leaving the town they permanently broke relationship with him and never turned back, and this is the reason why he never searched them...

All this while we were confused why vik didn't search for them.... but now it's understandable because he felt they didn't want him in their life, so he felt abandoned, and might have felt they will not allow him in their life therefore never searched for rotu or mannat

From his pov though he is wrong,he didn't deserve to be left all alone like that.. for him even after everything the love they have between them could have acted as bridge to resolve issues between him and mannat/rotu....but instead of trying to make things all right they left which might have made him felt unloved, he might have been feeling if they loved him they would have stayed around him and made him realise his mistakes and forgive him... But them leaving him made him felt unwanted/unloved this might have made him feel all their love was just superficial/shallow, thats why yesterday he said to ronnie.."hamesa paraya samjha hai aapne",this is what he felt, he felt they never loved him enough that's why they left him overnight...

But the main reason they left was because they thought he abandoned his baby and CA mannat, and divorced her... this is pretty harsh for any person to forgive that's why mannat left, dhairya never had any place in vik's life so he left too.... and rotu know whatever they did is not that easy to be forgiven, and vik abandoning his baby, Ca mannat...this might have made them loose even the little hope that vik would forgive them, and they didn't want to push their way into his life and hurt him further...so they left too..... And vik doesn't know any of these if and when he knows then he will understand that they left after trying a lot, it's then when he might get over his abandonment issues

That's why I say more than anyone else vish is the master striker even more than ARS...the major strike was made by vish out of all the well planned schemes, murders of aish ...vish very simply created the MU regarding pregnancy, that she planned in a matter of seconds... And that turned out to be the biggest thing that seperated vik and his real family... without this mannat and rotu would have never left vik... Even after he ousted them, they went back to dhairya's house and were having light hearted moments...its the pregnancy MU which was the deal breaker

Do we even know what this is? The relationship hasn't been making sense. All i saw was a trigger for 3rd marriage.

There are clips from different portals...

DK Mannat are talking... VO says DK speaks in favour of Vik... then they chat about Dua where she smiles and Vik sees that particular moment and gets upset.

Later breaks his car in anger seeing this... Y calms him down and Vik tells her Mannat thinks we are married. Y is thanking Mannat in her mind that you made my job easy... (slightly inaudible dialogue)... Viks says Mannat has forgotten me... moved on in her life with my brother.... now I wont wait either... what does she think? Y is secretly happy.... hugs and pacifies him...

I don't expect a show to be morally right or inspire a change. It is a story with its own set up and pluses and minuses. This show has decided to make Mannat raise her Dua with the help of Dharya, who she has come to trust. It is this character's choice. And there is nothing wrong with the choice she made given her circumstances.

And i added the below sentence after the plus sign

"+ all the things that have happened in pre-leap uska alag stress on her so at that point of time she did what she felt right.."

Her entire decision on having DK's name was not on whim but it was based on the collective emotions that she was going thru starting from her getting to know RoTu truth, begging RoTu to tell the truth, Her being in dilemma of how to handle the situation, RoTu truth coming out & her marriage breaking apart, finding about pregnancy, MU of Vik denying her pregnancy, CA of her & ultimately Shruti's death...

Which is why I say Malla needs to be exposed first. She went with the divorce papers. She opened her mouth and said Vik doesn’t want the child. Vish never said anything about a pregnancy. So she can deny everything.

ARS is hidden. Malla needs to be exposed.

So if we see Malla was also in same situation like Mannat. Now we know that was a lie but Vikrant don't know. Malla gave her name to Yuvi not Vikrant's.

In this matter money and status doesn't matter. It's still considered as a stigma. That's how sometimes society behave but now that's not the case.

When on all documents Mom's name was included it was a welcome change in our society and mindset of people.

It gave that security to those women and kids who were suffering from this mindset. Specially kids were born because of sexual abuse. They don't need their fathers name. Nowadays so many kids go with their moms name. I can give you some celebrity names also.

Then why show this cliche? I would've preferred Mannat giving her name to Dua. Just like Shruti gave her and raised her on her own without any male support in her life.
