This new chap, Manas

I haven't been able to watch Reth properly for the last couple of weeks so could someone please tell me who Manas exactly is!

All I know is that he is Shekhar's friend and that he is also quite close to Jia!

Thanks.

manas is Shekars and Jia's comman college freind. It looks like he was the one responsible for the romantic encounter between Jia and shekar in college. He probably could be assumed by the viewers as a best freind for both of them. He just came back from US or Uk or something like that and started his own bussiness, which Jia is involved in.
