I will go so far as to say that I am thoroughly confused with Manav, as a character. The writers have done nothing in their power to transition me to this phase of the character's behaviour or the story.
I think the problem is two part, one comes from the dialogue, direction, and acting mix. Anuj's acting is not refined but good enough that just acting the part doesn't lift the character far enough. *looks at screenplay* The other is a habit for this show to over draw scenes and a total lack in fluency.
