Yes, the kiss was a real one, and it takes both participants by surprise. In fact, what makes this  is Manik’s  gobsmacked expression as he pulls away, completely confused with what he’s just done. Nandini is just as startled, and the moment she recalls her bearings, she presses her nose.

At a loss, Manik tries to cover up the moment. He very awkwardly laughs, “Ha. Ha? HA!  Nandu, you’re funny.”
Turning stiffly, he hurries away and heads into the building. how utterly discombobulated Manik , it’s a adorable . he leaves to avoid awkwardness .He rationalizes to himself, “I was just so angry that I lost reason. I’m not this kind of person. Why did I do that?”
Nandini is lost in a daze and prays, “Mother Superior, the star in my heart has exploded into thousands of them. What do I do?” She stumbles into the building after first  geeting  lost in the revolving doors and sits down to rest: “It’s like fireworks are going off inside my heart. I’m dizzy.”
When Dhrov calls, she vaguely recalls that she was supposed to meet him. She’s too stunned to be very coherent, and murmurs, “Where am I? I’m doing fireworks.”
Dhrov tells her to calm down; he’ll come to her.
Nandini wonders what prompted Manik’s kiss, and imagines a few possible answers.
Was it out of anger? But he’s never done this and he’s been angry before. Was it out of flirtatiousness? No, he’s not that kind of guy.

Aliya arrives outside the agency, wondering at the best way to send Nandu back home. She considers telling Manik about the nunnery, but cautions herself to handle this with care. She spots him leaving the building, but he’s so lost in his own thoughts that he walks right by without acknowledging her. Thinking he’s ignoring her out of anger, she asks if he’s still upset with her.
Manik replies that he’s not angry, nor does he have anything to say to her. But it’s almost worse that he doesn’t care enough to be angry with her anymore.
She asks, “Am I nothing to you? How could a woman like me be nothing to you? I’m pretty and popular. We were voted India’s best-suited couple — how could you not like me?”
Manik agrees that Aliya is pretty and popular, but she’s also fake, “so don’t confuse things.” He said…
She asks, “Then what will you do if  Nandu confuses herself and says she likes you?”
That makes Manik pause before answering: “That won’t happen, not when she’s foolish enough to cast away her pride. I’m sure.”
He doesn’t sound quite convinced, but he’s recalling Nandini’s supposed feelings for Dhrov.
Aliya spies Nandu exiting the building, and takes advantage of the moment to ask pointed questions that will get overheard while Manik remains ignorant of Nandini’s presence.
Aliya warns Manik not to get “confused” regarding her: “ Nandu is a man — don’t mistake her for a girl.” I’m pretty sure she knows that by pushing Manik’s buttons, she’ll get the desired answer out of him:
Manik : “I’m not someone who gets confused. Nandu isn’t a woman.”
Aliya : “Then when you bought her the hairclip and clothes and protected her, did that mean nothing?”
Manik : “Yeah, it had no meaning, I just did it. It meant nothing.”
He doesn’t see that Nandini has overheard and turned away in sadness. Aliya asks if he can be sure that those gestures also meant nothing to Nandu.
Manik tries to convince himself, “It was nothing to her.” Then he stops, bothered. “How can it be nothing to her? Forget it, it was nothing to me too. If I let it make me feel bad, I lose.”

Dhrov tries to get in touch with Nandini, but she doesn’t hear her phone ringing as she cries in a darkened studio. Now that Manik has said she means nothing, she’s mortified for hoping and feeling more.
Dhrov worries that she’s sick and rushes back to the agency. Hearing her sobs, he comes upon her in the studio, but Nandini stops him before he can turn on the lights: “I want to stay in the dark. I feel so embarrassed, I want to hide in the darkness.”
Dhrov may be patient, but he has his limits and raises his voice as he asks, “How long were you going to cry like this? After you were done, were you going to come to me? I see, you totally forgot me. Even so, I was waiting for you and came running and worried about you — I feel like an idiot!”
She apologizes for breaking the promise and for thinking only of herself.
Dhrov answers that he’s tired of always thinking of her: “Take a good look at how I feel in the light.”
With that, he flicks on the lights to show her how upset he is — but in the light, he sees how miserable she is, and his anger starts to dissipate. Nandini repeatedly apologizes, and he says in a gentler tone that he’s sorry for getting angry.
Sit together after Nandini stops crying, Dhrov admits that he was going to confess his feelings to “that woman,” and had prepared flowers, presents, and a song for her. He jokes that it’s Nandini’s fault it didn’t work out, but smiles and adds, “No, it’s not your fault. I don’t think she was ready for it yet.”
