I don’t understand why people are comparing our show with other one. I haven’t watched that show but whatever heard so far doesn’t fit this narrative at all. DK’s character was introduced before the leap and that too as Vik’s brother, a blood relative. In other show, the FL meets another man during her separation with no family around her. Here, Mannat is already taking care of Vik’s family. The makers have consistently addressed DK as the elder brother of Vik and he himself has acknowledged that relationship. In our society, no matter how good a person is or how dynamics change over the years such relationships are still not accepted. That’s why after constant pushing the makers had to introduce Y’s character instead of continuing with Malla–Vik equation. Now of course the makers will explore this DM angle to create suspense and confusion but ultimately it’s meant for Vik to realise his own mistakes. Mannat is still deeply in love with Vik. It’s just that hurt and pain have overtaken her emotions. She is reacting based on half-truths that she knows and which woman after being rejected along with her unborn child after years of separation, would not feel shaken when she meets the same man again only to find him still accusing her apparently moved on in life has his family according to her, extremely sensitive and loving towards a child but rejected her child? Her emotional conflict is natural. When Mannat met Vik for the first time after the leap, she recalled the dessert flashback, later when she saw him with Y and assumed he had moved on it was over for her like Vik seeing happy family and felt it’s over for hil. Still, she went to Mezbaani and couldn’t stop herself from getting emotional on seeing him there. Her love hasn’t faded, it’s just clouded by MU. The DM scene yesterday, where she compared DK and Vik, was symbolic. It showed how DK is taking care of her family while Vik is doing the opposite. If she hated Vik and didn’t want him around why would she silently expect his support? That expectation itself speaks volumes. DK was not a saint when he entered SM. He carried anger and grudges, especially against Rotu and saw Mannat as a roadblock. He believed the version of truth fed to him and lived with those people for years. That’s why he understands their pain and situations. He evolved in Mannat’s company. Vik, on the other hand, was left alone, isolated and surrounded by toxic and disgusting people which slowly stripped away his goodness. Mannat and Vikrant are two wounded souls, standing on opposite ends right now, judging each other through the haze of MU. Their reactions are natural because deep down they still consider each other their own even if they refuse to accept it. The moment these clouds begin to clear, we’ll see shifts not just in their equation, but in how everyone around them is affected. Rotu and Mannat are holding onto grudges over the rejection of the baby and the divorce, which Vik never actually did. The makers have deliberately kept these loopholes so that when the truth comes out, Vik will react and Mannat will realise that he wasn’t entirely wrong either. Using CA was a brutal move to justify the leap and once again, Vik character was used as bait. But to soften its impact, the makers showed a shift in DK’s feelings proving that what Vik said years ago was true while same time giving Mannat a clean chit through Neetu making it clear that the fault lay with DK, not her. Every character played a role in the separation and the changed dynamics. Now, with the Indore gang moving to Mumbai, those dynamics will shift again. Personally, I liked yesterday’s ManVik scene. It was confrontational, raw, and full of anger, hurt, and pain. It was necessary to establish that ManVik are still holding grudges, which is why Y and Y were present in the scene to let other SM vamps knows about it. Despite such a long gap only Mannat can speak to Vik in that tone and no one else. Yes, the repetitive dialogues can be irritating because we have seen similar scenes before. But this repetition is important, Mannat venting out and showing Vik the mirror is crucial for future tracks. Regret only deepens when the fall is deeper. Until Vik accepts that he was wrong, how will he truly change? At their core, Mannat and Vikrant remain the same. Mannat’s ability to switch off her emotions, just as Vik pointed out in the first episode and Vik’s obsession with Mannat, in any form, still define them. Vik lives by that one line he once said after the Vimal marriage during the kitchen scene when Mannat burnt her hand “Jo insaan humara sab kuch hota hai… jab woh insaan humara dil tod ke chala jaata hai, palat kar nahi dekhta, jisse koi farq nahi padta ki hum jeeyein ya mar jaayein—tab jo dard hota hai, wahi asli dard hota hai. Aur woh dard waqt ke saath kam nahi hota.” To end on a positive note, ManVik will always be reflections of each other. That’s the foundation of this story. No matter how circumstances change, what’s written by God cannot be erased. They will make mistakes, learn from them, and grow and that’s their journey.
Bold:
With my hole-y memory, i had forgotten this dialogue as well. Thank you for sharing it.
Despite all the love, there is something intrinsically wrong with Vikrant mentally & emotionally. And the youtuber also said that yesterday. He sometimes borders on some form of insanity with his reactions.
I know all of you will say it must be the juice Neetu gave, but i think it’s in his bloodstream/genes,not induced.
