I find Saigal's character most complex to comprehend as of now..and yes it superbly played by Harsh Chhaya, his entry has certainly spiced up things at the ATU..adding different layers to Mallick's character..and their scenes have become a highlight.
But saigal seems v complex.
On the surface as of now he comes across as very clinical and cold to me.
Whether he cared for mallick..am unsure.yes he did stop PM frm venting out.
But it could be out of practical reasons.
The ATU had actually left no choice for the PM and others but to comply with the plan.
He only brought in that aspect,pointing out what could be done further and it being the best opportunity tpo neutralized virus.
As of now, saigal has not shown any qualities who would give importance to any personal relationships.And this has been Malick's angst against her ex-husband, which she has v v strongly expressed it out.
There are few instances which show saigal being v clincial in apporach whch is duty at any cost:
1)when he is talking on phone referring to vedant -'woh marr nahi gaya sirf kandhe par goli lagi hai"
2) when he calls Veer over to ATU disregarding veer's sisters situation, veer had said kiran is in some sort of trouble..
Saigal is least bothered as far as the personal HUMAN equations go.
Not saying he is entirely cold.i am sure he does have this deep soft core which may come forth as the story goes ahead.
He did show a very deep concern for the lives of the delta team which were at stake and was visibly very disturbed.
As his equation with shibani goes..he comes across mighty upset with her (AS of now) coz
1.she idolizes Jai and gives him the uncondtional support at the cost of breaking the protocols(saigal comes across as a sucker for protocols and seems to detest jai and his ways)
2.there seem to be lots of differences between him and shibani regarding both personal and professional ethics
3.and it seems as a husband he expected shibani to follow his rules and ways and be an 'obedient wife'.shibani had a mind of her own and seems saigal is miffed coz of her rebel behavior
Whether he still has that care for his ex-wife and his special child is yet to be seen and coming episodes may reveal that .
