Keeping Uday-Manyata and all the politics happening around aside, I do agree with the fact that Aakash is selfish and lacks trust towards Manyata and vice versa. I mean ofcourse wanting Manyata to be Moniya and not fulfill her responsibilities is selfish on his part. He wants Moniya to marry him and become perfect housewife, which is not who Manyata is and the main reason why I don't like his character (apart from him being bland).
Now now, Uday is cunning and evil himself and I cannot ignore that. Yes he has feelings for Manyata but still they are buried deep inside. His plotting and planning games for power and kingdom are overpowering his true feelings for me and I still don't like to believe that he has actually completely fallen in love with Manyata; although he certainly is attracted to her and fascinated by her free-spirit; and hence has named it love...which it isn't because he is being selfish too and has he own personal interest to make Manyata a princess. I could be wrong, but that is how I am perceiving his emotions.
Yet I root for Uday-Manyata because I know that once his feelings comes to surface, he is going to be as selfless lover as he could be; for his princess and her happiness. While Aakash, he claims to be selflessly in love with her yet he is not and does not respect her decisions. He knows that him being in the palace would put Manyata in trouble yet he goes there to meet her. It's like he does not care about her and doesn't trust her...and what she is doing for them. While Uday...he would have let Manyata be if he knew that she is doing something for THEM. Aakash is an obsessed lover-boy who has no respect for Manyata's space. But that is solely my point of view.
Anyways seeing the way the story is progressing, it is going to be obvious that Manyata is going to choose Aakash until the very last moment 😛 She is going to fall for Uday but when she will realize that Uday's main reason to marry her is her power and kingdom (after she will become princess ofcourse and learn all the tactics of being a perfect queen), she is going to choose Aakash only to later realize that Uday had actually fallen in love with her during this game he was playing...and will go to Uday. And THE END! 😛 (The perfect princess diaries replica 😛)
