All I saw for Moniya was her attraction built into a fantasy-crush level by her two friends and at that time Aakash was not seeming to reciprocate.
What did I see through that saga for Aakash, what did I see as his feelings? Nothing truly. I felt like he was taken by Moniya's thirst for life, her innocence. But that is not truly love, is it? Can't you appreciate someone for merely being bright and cheery. To expose their freshness in an life which has become monotonous and bland? From Aakash's speech to his parents, he mentioned that he followed their directions, their hopes, and has always been trying to climb the achievement ladder. After spending time with his latest entertainment (not meaning to make it sound crass) but Moniya does represent something new, fresh .. he is not shown to even think about her. I could have believed he really liked her if maybe while he was working and not meeting moniya's stare, or while rushing off on a motorcycle with his friend when moniya was standing right behind him (in his defense, he had to glance at her ..moniya was just getting hyper and jumping to conclusions LIKE one does when they're crushing for no reason), if he merely had a flashback about her OR asked one of her two friends how she was doing. If the CVs did this, i would be like "ooh, she's building a spot in his mind ..din mein khwaab, etc).
then that instance Aakash lied to his boss, the boss comes out all of a sudden with the love spiel. where did that come from? and then, all of a sudden even Aakash is rushing into the whole marraige fantasy because his mom wants to set him up. What is the connecting factor? How did he reach that point.
In the end, the way their jodi story has been built up, and the dedication of scripting qualities .. Aakash to me seems like a passing interest for Moniya..nothing too substantial. Just a phase in her life till her true story is meant to begin. Maybe if Aakash is kept full-time, he could be the friend who helps her recognize her emotions for UdayVeer (😆), and how to differentiate her thoughts. He would be a good friend, because like UdayVeer said .. Aakash is like water, someone calming & clear-minded
