So as per kanika's new interview, it is confirmed that she is a dragon. So that means, they aren't planning to bring ahana's estranged sister?

This suggests that Aryaman has a thing for animals lol. Ex dragon aur biwi naagin

Or they have a thing for him. Even Radhika fell for him, at least a little, for it to go to the wedding. He's so out of whack, our supernatural girlies love him

He's interesting. If not for his involvement in the blood wedding (at least Purvi knows it that way), I could totally see her being conflicted about killing him. Firstly, she loved him as Purvi, and even as Ahana he would have challenged her in a very attractive way.

His personality is such that it works with both Purvi and Ahana. But she shouldn't be this weak for him knowing what she does.

Absolutely, he's such an interesting character. I love mls like him, badass, nonchalant, bit of loner, somene having possessive characteristic traits. Aryaman is a charmer, has an effect on someone as naive and innocent as purvi and also on someone like ahana who's so sassy and ruthless/bold.

Also ironically he had conversation about pyaar, dhoka, shaadi, zindagi with both purvi and ahana. I don't mind ahana having conflicting emotions about him but she shouldn't downright act like a love sick puppy, that would be so gross.

Exactly. The conflict should be real. At this point she is not even trying. It's fine for her to be attracted to him. It's fine that she still can't get over him, especially as now when they are on equal footing, he is applying his charm - not that he is doing it only for her beauty, but Ahana's personality creates the much needed tension for him to act a certain way, whereas Purvi's innocence brought out his kind, patient side. With her both lives she is seeing the whole him, and she likes it. I get her.

But at the same time, a ruthless killer who is not even sparing innocents in her mind games, it feels wrong to see her this vulnerable in front of her murderer. And I really didn't want her to admit it that she can't kill him. Showing that weakness in front of Bharni meant there is zero conflict. She didn't care about the consequences or how it will look. It is a simple truth. A raw admission. She can't kill him, because she loves him.

I've a weird wacko theory that the real Radhika was the dragon they'd got locked up in the office basement. ( Don't even get me started on how the hell such a huge basement happened to be under a modern Delhi office building. But then we've whole forests in the middle of Delhi.. so. )

Suri papa found out that Aryaman's fiance was a dragon and kidnapped her before marriage to use her as a trained weapon.

They sent the same mystery person who shape-shifted to Aryaman in the blood wedding , and that person as Radhika rejected Aryaman on their wedding day and since then they told him she's moved on and happily married some other guy and he's stalking her but he never got close enough to see her face or talk to her.

After the Kumbh fight the dragon went missing , apparently drowning in the water but the body was never found. Ig that's how she'll be free from the clutches of Suris and re enter the life the Aryaman and come back to clear the confusions.

It'd be interesting if Radhika was actually really in love with Aryaman and that means Aryaman will actually have to choose between her and Ananta.

I don't want him to fall for Ananta just because Radhika turned out to be a negative character. That'd be such cheap short cut. It'll forever feel like he settled for her rather than her being his absolute choice.

They said sth about a year gap..like how many years he is raising the dragon.Also it is locked under the basement. Can't come out. Aryaman sees her every night. How?

Suri Papa said he'd kept him locked up for years but there's no proof of that. All we have is his words. Maybe he's hiding the truth from his own family too. He doesn't want them to know how ruthless he can be .

Why did he never reveal the dragon to his family before if he'd her for years ??

Also, Pinky said Aryaman never faced Radhika after their wedding day. Which I instantly found interesting. Looks like he just saw her outline through the window . It could be any girl hired by Papa Suri.

Now that Kanika Manan has confirmed that she's the dragon , wouldn't it be awesome if it turns out Bharni was Ananta's elder sister ??

I'm having a crush on her , she's too pretty and Alice is just killing it ! I soo want her to have bigger role in the story and more importance and her own storyline like Vish or Shesha. And no, I don't want her to turn negative because 1. That won't add anything to the story and 2. It'd be repetitive of previous seasons with the 2nd naagin turning out to be negative and let's face it , it would be tough to match the legacy of Adaa Khan or Anita H in that regard and 3. There is barely any positive character left in the story and there are tons of negative characters. This is also another reason I don't want Radhika to be negative.

Bijli ka khamba 🤣 As someone who often writes him as "electric pole of a man" in my (very private, very self-indulgent) fics, this made me laugh. Also, I can't get over how pretty she looks ❤️ Baaki Aryaman and his Radhika jaap...I hope she turns out to be a dragon / naagin / terrorist and he finally gets over her otherwise Purvi's love looks like a joke (and where was his deewangi before the blood wedding? He was a cynic, alcoholic and he kept remembering her but he wasn't in his paagal aashiq form, I actually liked that guy). Bring back the guy with his "saath me thoda zeher bhi doon" attitude, why do Namik's characters (especially in Ekta's shows) never get to maintain their snark and their little moments of happiness / personality, he is good at that.

Also, make him a snake please, or a past lover. Or the human embodiment of the naagmani so Purvi's attraction (ahem! Attachment) makes sense. Make it so she can't help falling in love with him. Make him her human or naag protector / companion / soulmate whatever, just do something about her crazy love for him.

That said, I hope he supports her when he learns she is a Naagin and gives some cute horrified expressions when she goes on a murder spree, that will be so much fun.

I'm also hoping for a reception dance. Purvi loved dancing with him, so much so that when she was dancing with Vikram she was replicating those moves and her eyes were only on him, so she should dance with him. Maybe she can step on his toes since she obviously can't kill him (why doesn't Bharni do it though? Not that I want Aryaman to die, red flag or not he doesn't deserve to die with terrorists and murderers, but what's Purvi's reason?)

Oh I miss the pre wedding Aryaman character so much! He was really exciting and refreshing to watch. How he was a cynic but he was still kind of kind towards Purvi in his own way and he had interesting shades. For e.g, he lowkey encouraged her to drink but then got sour for a second when she kind of called out his alcoholism. Also, he rejected her love proposal but then got angry she said she didn't mean it and it was a joke.

Now his character feels more one dimensional . I want to see more elements of surprise . Namik would shine in such scenes. Wish the cvs would give him something more to sink his teeth and chew on.

Also, he should've some connection to teh whole naag story. If he turns out the original Parmeet Suri son , there should be more to his character. If Vikram turned out to be Professor son or a naag or both he'd immediately become more important and interesting.

Pre wedding Aryaman was lonely and lost. Past experiences had made him bitter and a cynic, but he still wanted all those things. A reason why he was so free with Purvi was that she didn't treat him any differently, and her honesty / innocence and casual approach made him feel more human. Those episodes brought out the shades in him. His philosophy about his life not worth living, but still wanting to be seen as someone worth saving. His drinking, but not enjoying that he is perceived as a drunk. His not being ready for love, but also firmly believing in it and respecting it to the degree Purvi pretending it was a joke irked him. His playful dynamics with Tina and genuine concern for her (pre wedding Aryaman wasn't a Pinky paaglu, he still loved his sisters, they could convince him to stay for the party and dance, but he didn't cross any lines for them). His special brand of roasting reserved for Karan, who he knew didn't like him and was jealous of him. His bond with Ravish, and his protest against Ravish's wrongs even if he bought the story that Ananta was a liar, although he seemed to let go it pretty soon when he learned his father had agreed to the match. Most probably, his cynicism and his father's words about Ananta convinced him she was wrong, but his faith in her, encouraged by, again, his father's words, assured him of her innocence.

Even in episode eight the bit about Manohar's wife showed different shades of him, his cynicism doubled by the looteri dulhania story

But now he is looking like a caricature. A useless drunk who is easily swayed by his sister's tears, a man who crosses multiple lines multiple times without any guilt.

I did like his performance in front of Radhika's house, Namik got to act there and if not for the regular stalking and obsession this scene could have worked, with Aryaman finally going to her house to give himself some twisted form of closure. But the constant ex jaap diluted the scene that mattered.

Aryaman had lots of potential and Namik would have aced it, every shade of his (as promised pre wedding and 'till episode 8) plays to Namik's strength. Instead, we got this.
