Manik is never going to be a villain in the show, he wasn't one even when he was a monster terrorizing Navya and Nandini! That is his charm! My son is always amazing even when he is wrong! But just because Manik isn't the 'villain', doesn't mean Raghav is. Raghav was always the better person! Better than these troublesome brats treating the collage like everyone was beneath them! Obviously Manik doesn't like Raghav.Raghav isn't a stranger like Abhimanyu and Aryaman. Raghav has known Manik's mom years and years before the story started! Raghav was the only teacher who stood up to Fab5 and never let them great him like shit, kept their f**kery on leash and punished them when they created trouble! Pushed them, scolded them and encouraged them to be better even as musicians! Praised them when they did good! Of course Manik didn't like him.Someone close to his mom and someone who didn't come under Fab5's reign of terror.
