I wouldn't mind his indifference / inaction if it extended to the men too. Or if it was shown that his ex betrayed him. Then his suspicion might have made 1% sense. But no, all everyone says is that Radhika dumped him on his wedding day and moved on with her husband. She didn't cheat him. By the look of the house, she's not that rich either, do the gold digger theory doesn't fit. That said, he does have a ready example in his immediate social circle (Swarna), so his suspicion is valid (maybe 0.5%) but he shouldn't judge every woman on that metric. Also, initially, he was shown as a cynic. How did it move to misogyny? He didn't believe in anything, he wanted to die quick, and that kind of person is exhausting to be with, but it would have made him complex. This dilutes his personality.

Ahana will destroy him. She has already hit his weak points, I hope she continues to hurt him more. And the flirting is a must, I'm having so much fun.

See, it's the hypocrisy which I've a problem with. Is swarna a gold digger? Yeahh. So is everyone in his own family. His own brothers are a good example.

Same for cheaters, women who cheat are trash. Accepted. Now where's that same disgust for your brother?

I liked his bleak depressing cynical personality, bcz I get it. Life sucks. That's fine. But what are these double standards.

I just want ahana to stay strong and show him his aukaat.

Totally off topic but have anyone seen ek hasina thi tv show?

The FL was murdered by mL and family and then she comes back for revenge with a new face and name.

I do not watch the whole show. It saw few episodes.

While I am in sync with your POV I beg to disagree with your point that " Unlike the mls of previous seasons, Aryamaan has shown enough deewangi. Really? Deewangi or Obsession?

What Aryamaan was doing near the house of his ex was pure stalking.And regarding the ML of previous seasons have you ever watched N5? Veer was the only ML in Naagin franchise whose love crossed every limit when it came to the Naagin Bani yet his love gave equal breathing space to Bani too.

Veer was a Scavenger/Predator who disliked Snakes yet when it came to Bani not only he fought for her every step of the way but accepted her Naagin avatar and protected her from his entire clan too.

Bani came with a revenge motive against Veer just like Ananta due to previous birth issue yet she never expected that a predator like Veer would worship her and deeply love her in short a rare ML character.

Even Maahir of N3 loved Bela deeply too.He also accepted Bela's Naagin avatar just like Veer.

Veer was a special ML character who in short loved Bani like his soulmate and worshipped her like his Queen if not as a Goddess till the starting of amnesia track.

Aryamaan hate to say is not someone who would do those above mentioned things for Ananta.He's a cynical guy like Rishabh 2.0 chilling in the house.

Maahir or even Ritik were attracted to their Naagin mates Bela and Shivanya while Aryamaan has never shown any such reaction either for the plain jane Purvi or gorgeous Ananta/Ahana.

When I said unlike the mls of previous seasons what I meant was that he showed this deewangi for his ex , not the fl. Which is clearly different from other mls .

And yes it's not just going to his ex house. He's still mentally completely attached towards her , committed to her one sidedly. Any auspicious occasion, any mention of love or commitment reminds him of his ex. This is the text book definition of deewang whether we like it or not.

I've watched all the previous seasons of Naagin , some of them repeatedly. My favorite seasons were N1 , N3 and N5 which is why I only mentioned those seasons . I've seen S5 twice so I need not be reminded of Veer's absolutely single minded devotion and pagalpan for Bani . Heck! He even took another birth just to be with her and that was just the starting point of his character. I was a huge fan of Sharad and Surbhi C both from their previous shows and was delighted when they were cast together and their story turned out to be memorable ❤️.

But I'm absolutely glad Aryaman is not like any previous mls. He's not like Ritwik, Mahir or Veer and that's exactly why I love him as a character so much. If I wanted him to be like Veer or Mahir , then I could just go and watch them , why do I need a new character ?

As I was discussing with another member, even Ananta is completely different from any previous Naagins. She's far more ruthless , grey coded and practically walking on a very narrow moral line and that's exactly what got me hooked.

I'm glad for once that Ananta and Aryamaan soulmate connection is not established from the get go. It leaves an element of mystery for the viewers ala will-they-won't-they.

Ofcourse they're destined to end up together. It's crystal clear that Aryaman didn't stab Ananta. It's also clear that he's not related to the Suris by blood. Which means he's the og Suri child or the Professor's son. Ofcourse when he'll find out how the fake Suri n Co. killed his parent(s) he'll turn against them and join Ananta in both taking revenge and also protecting the country against outside hostile forces.

But all that will happen in good time. I'm for once is glad that they're not jumping guns with making Aryaman fall for her. It's a very refreshing and dare I say much needed, change from previous seasons where the ML practically falls for the fl head over heels on first sight. As much as I enjoyed those seasons it gets boring and tiring after a point of time to see the same story repeatedly.

Rest , Veer is and will remain my most favorite ML of naagin till date partly because how magnificently Sharad played him. It's a tough job to beat him.

I liked him initially in 2 3 episodes, like he's detached, depressed, alcoholic workaholic yet not unnecessarily unkind. He's decent to purvi.

Uske baad se toh ye aadmi jab muh kholta hai iske muh mein kapda ghusane ka man karta hai mera. Koi itna bada hypocrite kaise ho sakta hai????!!! Poore din gold digger gold digger chillata rehta hai are chomu agar Teri wali gold digger hoti toh tujhe chhodkar nahin jaati. Khud ki family paise ke liye ahana ke joote saaf karne ko taiyar hai. Khud ka bhai itna bada tharki khulla ghumta nahin dikhta aise.

I think he knows and sees his family for exactly what they are. He's not a naive fool to see them as saints. It's just that he's zero judgement policy for his own blood vs others , which is again very realistic.

Not saying it anyway excuses or justifies his behavior especially his misogynist and elitist attitude. Infact, somehow it makes it worse. He sees his family for the scums on earth they are yet he stands silent because they're his own.

Honestly, most men are like that. Even Purvi's father kind of never questioned his daughter even once why she just went and slept with a guy without so much as taking a protection when that guy didn't even acknowledge their relationship in public yet and kept it like a dirty secret. Itna kya thadak bhai !

On top of it, when she found out she was pregnant and so much kaand happened at her bae's house with her and her sister , they didn't even inform their parents ! Yet their father didn't held them accountable. I'm not asking for him to not support them or shame them , far from that but atleast remind them to be more responsible with their lives and choices .

Aryaman is an extreme version of this mentality. I think they're dialing it up so that when he finds out that this family is not even his rela family and infact they killed his actual parents , it'll be even more devastating.

The way Purvi's family behaved was pure cartoonish and I just thought that writers did not use any brain in developing that because inko jaldi marna hi hai. Purvi was talking about premarital sex in such conservative way like they're very orthodox. But then her family barely reacts. Ananta hasn't even introduced or thought about the fact why would her BF keep the relationship secret. In their case it's like... Who cares they're gonna all die soon.

Aryaman's character lacks consistency.

When he got to know about Ravish and (fake!) Ananta, he was furious and he said he believed her, she won't lie. Then when his Dad interrupted them, he obviously didn't like the tone but he didn't say anything. He easily fell for Arjun and Ravish's plan, when moments ago he was vouching for her honesty. With Ahana too, he was the first one to label her as gold digger, yet when his father and the minister were offering money and asking her to name her price he looked uncomfortable (was it Aryaman or Namik though, he does give very conflicting emotions in scenes where the ML shouldn't approve of the villains, saw it with Shivansh too).

Also, the hotel incident with Manohar's wife showed that he can be twisted in how he does things. Like Ravish said, he could have easily said no, but he came up with an elaborate plan, even if it damaged his reputation. And none of that goes with his stalking. It would be fine if he was shown drinking anywhere else, but right in front of her house? That's stalking.

Can you explain this part ?

Because the way I see it, not only is it totally consistent with his character as we've seen so far , it's infact expected that he'll still be completely hung up on his ex and find it difficult to let go and accept the reality of her being married to someone else and happily moving on .

He's used to being sought after and desired by all around him. Girls practically swoon over him and lose their minds . Yet this one woman he wanted rejected him on the day of his marriage. I can imagine how he's still in a state of shock.

Plus, he's established as a very intense passionate person who will be very obsessive possessive in love. Just like Veer. Veer didn't stalk Bani because he didn’t need to. He's married to her . But it was obvious he was extremely possessive about her.

So I can see him totally stalking his ex.

I don't know if you've seen Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi. There after the first breakup the ml Dev was stalking fl Sonakshi relentlessly even after she repeatedly pointed out what he's doing is wrong he couldn't let go. Even after a seven year leap when she came back, he was once again stalking her.

That was completely in character. Foe Dev, he's a very intense guy who's hella possessive in love. He can't let go. Aryaman is exactly like that.

Interestingly enough, Dev was also completely biased and had a massive blind spot when it came to his own family. Again, just like Aryaman.

In short , it's a very specific personality type. Toxic and layered but there's no inconsistencies whatsoever.

They needed more time to set it up properly, but I see why they didn't. Naagin doesn't work without action. And the way they completely forgot that Ravish was cheating on her. Granted, she was delusional (and pregnant / hormonal), but what were her parents thinking? Even Purvi forgot about it.

We need to remember Purvi's parents didn't know about the entire fiasco that happened at Suri house on that day. I mean, they knew but I doubt if Ananta or Purvi shared the events exactly how it happened.

Honestly, we expect Aryaman to scold his younger bro for his proclivities ( as he should ) but what about Purvi's father ? He's like ultra modern ! His daughter is having sex with her boss's brother and getting pregnant and parents be like 👍 let's get them married and let's not discuss why it was problematic as hell!

Ananta (fake) lost her mind in love . Any woman anywhere in the world should be cautious when a guy is asking to keep the relationship a secret yet sleeping with her . An instant red flag ! I wish she'd rejected Ravish when the Suris broached the rishta but maybe she agreed thinking of her child's future.

Ananta ka fiance kitna harami hai bhai... Ananta ko bhi itna Miss nahi Kiya jitna swarna ko kar raha hai. Ananta was wayyy prettier than swarna!!!

Aahi kehte hai bandar kya jaane adrak ka swaad
