As far as changing yourself is concerned, I think superficial changes meant solely for attracting attention are fine, e.g. a hairstyle shouldn't really change the person that you are. But if you look at deeper things such as moral values, religious beliefs then I think a change is rather unjustified. In fact, if Anurag changed himself substantially and said that Taani loves 'me' it would be rather silly - because she doesn't love him per say.
I'm not sure he expects Taani to like him -- that's something he'd like, but he accepts far too easily that it won't happen. For the most part, we've seen him assume that Taani will love anyone BUT him. It's his assumptions that Taani would want someone else that have gotten him into this mess with their friendship in fact. But yes, his behaviour towards AM and PM was quite the stuff of schoolboyish meanness -- a lot of boys tend to do that to girls they don't deem 'girly' or 'normal'. I don't think he means it as 'worth liking' -- just that they're not the kind of people HE would want to date, and deep inside all of us are as closed-minded about that as he is.
I agree, Anurag's change needs to come from a need to change for himself, rather than for anyone else. But the world is such. The Anurags, Aromitas and Paromitas of this world may take the ridicule that other kids throw at them in their stride, but there will always come a time when the peer pressure becomes too much.
