I agree with most of your analysis.manyata's character is so flawed that in respect to that Uday come's off clean as a white starched shirt. He has his flaws but he never hides them. He plays politics, but most of them is for the betterment of the jaigad estate. He has learnt right at the start that to get something he has to sacrifice something - mostly himself. If for some unknown reason J would have managed to become the yuvrani then Uday would have married her inspite of desperately loving manyata - not because he would get something in return - but simply because it would be the best thinng for the jaigad estate. There would have been no tantrums, no daggabazi, no narey, just plain and simple 'yes dad, ill marry her.'He would sacrifice his own happiness for that of his family. The depth with which the CV's have created his character, the many layers that his charcter portrays is just unbelievable. He is a friend, a lover, a son, a brother, and also a formidable enemy, an antagonist, a protagonist, a hero, a villain, an opportunist and a politician. And yet, you fall in love with him.In contrast, I have never seen the CV's developin akash's character and I myself have wondered regarding the role he plays in this entire drama. He is too dull to be an antagonist and too weak to be a protagonist. He is a true friend, but the depth of his friendship has never been tested. He is a true lover, but then most of the time you fail to understand what exactly he loves in moniya - her bubbly nature and her vivaciousness? if that is the case, the love is too superficial, - or her conniving and sly mind which will use the other person as per her needs? I mosly think he doesnt know her well enough to know that. As for moniya, I think the most she loves in akash is that he never presents a challenge to her. He is non-comittal, boring, the type of guy she can mold to the way she thinks. He will never say no to her and that is what she loves the most about him.All in all, i think Uday steals the show, he is the soul of the show up until this point. Although what i think is, this is the time, they will show the character developement in manyata that will enable her to be an able maharani. and i think uday will help her to do so. although it would be in a way that she wouldnt understand. But then again, with the supposed return of akash, i have no idea where this show is going. I am confused and my brain goes haywire when i try to put a logical conclusion to all this.thanks for the awsome post.P.S: I stiill donot think it is priyal gor's fault. It is the charcater that is immature and flawed. amd the reason we dont see her showing a softness when she is with the chawl people and akash is because i dont think she really has any left. But she is too stubborn to admit it. That is the way her character is. Stubborn and spoilt and unwilling to accept what is right in front of her face.
