Why can't he have feelings for her? They have been like a family for 7 years co-parenting Dua. It is not like he plotted to separate Vikrant and Mannat. It was organic. He was there where Vikrant wasn't.
But I have a problem with DK developing feelings for Mannat... thats not what I wanted to see or expected to see... there was a possibility to show a true honest friendship between opposite genders.
If you are talking about screenplay, then "true honest friendship between opposite genders." would have resulted in 20 episodes, this arrangement offers scope of 200 episodes.
@cool: Dhairya will be targetted by the couple fans. Agar Abhinav ko nahi baksha toh yeh kaise chhutega.
