Oh the conversations I have had about this one!
Satya was named the crown prince to DM's empire long time back. She has worked and build a kingdom for him to savor , yet the mother in her has shielded him from the dark and the gory that was undertaken to grab this power. He is DM's Saheb, since he was born.
But Satya has never paid attention to this fact. He craved his mother's love and appreciation and for him Raghu symbolized that. His own failures, insecuirities intensified the distance between his own mother. I feel sometimes he wants to hate his mother just to justify himself. Because in his heart of hearts , he knows , there is no reason to his detest. He is annoyed at his mother because Raghu seemed more of a crown prince to her empire and a better candidate. I don't know if I can articulate it better, but I just don't see the depth in his character when it comes to his mother. There is not enough build up to his story. I would have rooted for him if , the story had DM faking her love for Raghu and we as viewers not knowing that. Then the conflict would have made sense. We would have seen a genuine DM preferring Raghu over Satya but since that hasn't happened and we are aware of the manipulations that is happening around. All that takes the cake from Satya's story. The audience is less invested in him, they seem him as an insolent kid , who has it all and still cribs.
They have shown him loading the gun on Raghu once, so it will be hard to convince him as someone who will disapprove of his mother's ways. He wants power at all costs, means doesn't matter , so to see being disgusted with all the crime won't make sense.
He doesn't love Antara. Lets just get that out. Because as much as there are different shades to love, there isn't a cloud of confusion that what he has for Antara is obsession. And it is not for her but more of defeating and snatching what is Raghu's. So , I just don't see him getting affected by Antara , he will see what he wants to see. The more he sees Rantara bonding even over their hate , he will simmer and will self-destruct.
Good Satya would be nothing but a drag-fest. What will be next to his story? Will he ride on the sunset and wave a good-bye, nah, they have build him too big to go that meek route. I say turn him Black and let him leave the show on a high. Be adventurous and shock us by killing one villain off the charts. That would open a lot more to the story and the characters.
They have made him too one-dimensional to turn him in any other color. There is nothing in him that I can sympathize with him. I would rather see him used a wild card which due to his own fancies spoils his mother's game without knowing she was orchestrating the move for his benefit. I want him to be the final piece which opens the game clearly between DM and Rantara.
