There were many adorable moments in the series where Mikesh proved to be a very understanding boyfriend for his headstrong girlfriend Tanya. Especially in the scene when Tanya’s premarital pregnancy surfaces.

The family wanted them to marry because of the news of her pregnancy but the audience was overwhelmed by the fact that Mikesh refuses to marry Tanya just because she was pregnant. He understood the stress of being pregnant and possibly not being ready for marriage. He admits that he wants to marry Tanya whenever she is ready to marry not under any compulsion.

TVF Mikesh was established as a new brand of masculinity. The progressive mindset and the maturity he portrayed in his character should be present in every modern Indian guy. He portrayed onscreen that men should not be shy away from emotion and can shed a few tears as and when needed. He treated Tanya equally like him and occasionally gets on her nerves too.

In the series, he accepted his father-in-law’s desire to marry again. This proves that he was an epitome of a very progressive younger generation of India. He suggested pulling at Dutch during his wedding and also makes for a pretty smooth wingman although he was meddling with his issues.
