There are very few men who genuinely are a 3rd angle for a prolonged period.
For example Romi wasnt a 3rd angle. He was a psycho stalker. Everyone knows he is doing a cameo and FL has no actual interest in his character. Thats why people can praise his performance and not be affected by his presence unlike a character like Seerat or Patralekha who are 24x7 present and are actually 3rd angles because ML is often more interested in them over his own wife. Moreover she's sister of FL and still wants FL dead, ruined and to marry her sister's husband after creating situations forcing ML FL together herself. So why would she not get hate from a viewer?!
And after watching constantly men getting away with two timing and enjoying attention of multiple women, sometimes people wish ki why should boys have all the fun. FLs should also have options and she should choose whoever she likes.
Theres a clear difference in the way ML and FL are written because misogyny and patriarchy is deeprooted.
Usually in itv If they show FL have more than one guy interested in her they show her with much more clarity and having clear boundaries whereas the ML will never do that.
In this show, Angad used to give empty words about boundaries with Seerat coz he's the first to go to offer her kandha even if there are 50 others!
