Tbh, I dislike Nikki but the way all tasks keep pairing her up with Jaan is sort of similar to this (not as extreme though). And there is no backlash there as well.
Na but Nikkiâs is different IMO - no matter what she says re Jaan needing to stay away and play his game independent of her - she milks that angle as much as he does.
If I felt for a moment that sheâs uncomfortable with this angle - or sheâs truly reluctant - then Iâd say otherwise - but Iâve not felt that for a moment thus far. And I think most people donât - which is why thereâs no backlash.
Neither are Jaan and Punnu the same IMO - Jaan sticks to Nikki sure, claims to like her sure - but Punnuâs attachment and all is on another level entirely.
A woman being clearly reluctant and having expressed seriously that this is not a good time for a relationship/really doesnât want this, and a man/showmance being imposed on her nonetheless - this I believe would definitely result in backlash, as it should. Itâs a shame itâs not so for the reverse as well.
I said this for Hiten too in S11 - he disliked Shilpa slapping his butt jab dekho - but she had a free pass and things like âHiten ko footage milti hain naâ was said for Hiten. Had it been the reverse - heâd have been flayed inside and outside. Itâs the usual deal on this show.
