I refrain from writing too much on the characters, and defend each one becasue ultimately the writers (who are pretty bad in this show
) can turn characters around as they please. As a Manvik fan, I will always defend each of them. DK I was never fond of, even when he was introduced, & I am sceptical even now, the way he is placed; he can turn in any direction.
Before an episode update, I just want to speak about Mannat today. We focus so much on Vikrant, DK, because we are afraid of who she will end up with. 
Her dialogues have been pretty rational according her POV. Day before, yesterday she cried to Ronny, when she agreed to the deal because she felt she was so helpless as a mother that she was using her child for money! We see so many children pushed into the limelight to earn money for the family. And we criticise them too, saying they allow their kids to stay on the sets so late, how can they etc.
Secondly, yesterday she said, she wanted to keep Dua away from that house, and that crowd because of everything that had happened there. the poison, the toxicity of the harsh words spoken. She lost the love of her life, and she lost her mother. in that house on the day she was going to get married!
For once, i am glad the makers are showing the trauma of the FL; rather than being stoic, She broke down once for Vikrant, and what could have been, she did say ' yeh hamari Dua hai, Vikrant,hamari pyaar ki nishani'.
But she is terrified of entering Vikrant's life. Without getting into whataboutery of the other characters, as a mother, i feel she has clarity in her dialogues about exposure of Dua to Vikrant.
As a mother, after a point, the protection of the child becomes paramount to anything, and anyone, including the husband.
