KS, I didn't mean to devalue Aniket's sacrifices for Sagar. Aniket is my favorite TV jiju. For him to go against his own wife for the sake of his bro and sis in law is no small thing. That kind of behavior is very unexpected in the land of Indian serials. He's courageous man for sure, and has a very good heart. I'm hoping once AD get their memory back they will do something to help him.
I just think sometimes he got carried away with trying to frighten Sindura or punish her...and it came at the expense of Sagar and himself, though of course he never meant for it to. It wasn't really his fault. He didn't realize just how wicked and powerful Sin is.
To her credit, Bua tried to hide her intentions from Sin. Unfortunately she was found out, but she was aware that the best way to handle her was to avoid confronting her.
Rajiv's character is doing the same thing. Sindura is interpreting his nonconfrontational behavior as weakness, when in fact it is his strength. He knows how to handle her. He's a genius in a way. He has caused Sin to believe that she is in complete control of him, when in fact it is the exact opposite.
As for Rajiv not loving Samrat (this is in response to another post), how could he? Mahua loves him because she believes he's her son, and despite being such a horrible person, she can't overlook that she is his mother. Rajiv on the other hand knows that he isn't his son, nor is he even particularly likable, so he feels no obligation towards him. Poor guy. He tries so hard to like Samrat, but he just can't and I don't blame him.
In a way I do feel sorry for Samrat. As scummy, low, and downright creepy as he is, it's not entirely his fault. He was raised to be ruthless and cunning. It's just like how fighting dogs are raised to kill each other. In another person's hands, they would turn out like normal friendly dogs...but they are trained since birth to fight to the death. Had RM had their say in his upbringing, or had he been raised by Amar's parents, surely he would have turned out differently. Bharat was also Sindura's son, but he had Aniket's influence to counter her. Besides which Sin was so preoccupied with killing SV that she didn't pay much attention to him, nor did she need to since there was no prophecy that he would kill her or threaten her.
