Yes. Thank you for this post. All three-Sanam, Aahil, Rehan reacted right according to the situation. Even Nida is somewhat right in a way.
Sanam was not in a position to talk to Nida as she had done before. This is the Mehndi ceremony, guests and many others are there. Furthermore, Nida is the bride. You don't just tell off the bride on her occasion. Also, considering what happened, Nida's lashing out is somewhat understandable. Yes, she goes too far and overboard, but it's still understandable. On top of that she said a lot of things about Sanam which if Sanam spoke up it would only serve to validate Nida's accusations.
Aahil could not speak up either because of the situation. First he is not in any sorted state. He now knows he's in love with Sanam, who he thinks shares something with Rehaan. And he's engaged to Nida in this fake marriage (though he's never actually made the fake part clear to Nida). That's his emotional state right now. And on top of that the situation is a sticky situation. But he never gives into Nida either.
Rehaan comes as the saving grace, but notice what he says. He says Aahil would not throw Sanam out. He gave Aahil the needed voice because Aahil was stuck in a way, but was still refusing to heed Nida. Rehaan also spoke up for Sanam and even put down Nida. Neither Aahil nor Tanveer object.
Of course Aahil couldn't be harsh with Nida for Sanam as he was with Tanveer. It would've made the situation worse and not only that Aahil is going through an emotional turmoil himself.
The biggest thing for me is that Aahil does not lash out at Sanam due to Rehaan/Sanam I love you Aahil for this, as other leads have done this. Thank you for not going that route, baby! He also does not react in anger over Rehaan defending Sanam.
Lastly, it's Nida who was ultimately embarrassed in this. She tried to play her hand, but no one was willing to go along with her. Her threats didn't matter. In the end, what happened in public is that no one supported her, she walked off after failing to succeed in her ultimatum, and Aahil publicly said to let her leave if she wants.
If situation were different Aahil should and would be criticized for not being understanding of his bride-to-be. He and his family have no regard for her feelings. That's what we would say if Nida were not the vamp. (As is it happened here, Nida tried her hand at a masterstroke but failed miserably. She is too hasty and arrogant. She insults Tanveer but asks her to throw Sanam out. Then insults Tanveer again in front of all and Aahil, and still expects her demand to be heeded. Nida fell flat on her face and embarrassed herself.)
If there was anything that was off, it's Sanam's pleading and crying looks to Aahil. But this has happened before too. Twice. When Nida was using her as a mannequin and during the dupatta rasam. So even that is somewhat consistent. She seems to search out Aahil and feels helpless in these situations.
On another note, I did like that Nida told Aahil to take his hands off her when he manhandled her.
