We’ve all seen the classic television hero—the angry young man with a tragic past, emotional walls, and a tendency to confuse shouting with strength. But what if we told you that a new kind of hero has arrived—one who listens more than he lectures, and heals more than he hurts?

Enter Vikrant, played by Adnan Khan in COLORS’ new show Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki. And guess what? Even his on-screen partner Ayesha Singh agrees—he’s a total green flag.

Ayesha Singh Gets Real: “Vikrant Is a Rare Find”

In a heartfelt revelation, Ayesha Singh—who plays Mannat—opened up about how different Vikrant is from the usual male leads we’ve seen on screen.

“In a world of flawed heroes, Vikrant stands out as a true green flag… perhaps that’s the magic when women start writing men,” Ayesha shares.

She makes a powerful point—male characters in Indian television have long been shaped by the male gaze: dominant, emotionally distant, and rough around the edges. But with Vikrant, there’s a refreshing shift.

What Makes Vikrant a Green Flag? Let’s Break It Down

So what exactly makes Vikrant tick all the right boxes? Let’s get into it:

Emotionally Available: He’s not scared to feel—and more importantly, he makes space for Mannat to feel too.
Respectful of Boundaries: Vikrant never crosses a line. In fact, he treats boundaries like they’re sacred.
Supportive and Safe: He doesn’t just say the right things—he shows up. Especially when it matters most.
Self-Aware: When things go wrong, he doesn’t deflect or disappear. He owns up, reflects, and works on it.

Honestly, that’s the kind of character we all deserve to see more of on our screens, right?

This Is What Happens When Women Write Men

One of the most thought-provoking parts of Ayesha’s statement was her reflection on women writing male characters.

These men aren’t rescuing damsels—they’re redefining what strength truly looks like.”

And she’s spot on. When women get behind the pen, the hero doesn’t need to be toxic to be strong. He can be soft, vulnerable, kind—and still powerful.
