First of all, thank you so much love for being so mature and kind. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I would never condemn one that is presented so well. See the thing is I agree Mani is annoying in all her perfectness, but I think somewhere he is needed as 'the other' that Raman can evaluate himself against. Before, Raman had nothing to compare himself with, his ego was inflated and he thought he could do no wrong. With Mani, he has realized that being a smart CEO is not sufficient to get her attention. He felt before he was not successful like Ashok and that's why Shagun left, so he became successful. But not he has realized that hey Mani too is successful, so there's that missing factor that he needs to get Ishita's attention. He always cared for her, but love is friendship on fire said someone great (I don't remember) and this is what I am seeing now. Raman's actions are normal, and justified actually. He is confused, he is angry at himself, and the situation, he is jealous but doesn't understand what's happening with him. So his outbursts are normal. Why wouldn't she think that about Shagun, the guy doesn't even give Ishita the time of day, yet if Shagun needs him, he's there for her aid in a second. Ishita has the sword of insecurity hanging over her head for so long. I also feel that at this point he doesn't mean to be a catalyst, he is only looking out for Ishu, he needs to understand the dynamics of their relationship more to do it consciously.
