Jamy
May be he is just trying to protect her (I hope). That's why I said 'at this point in time'. Speaking as a girl, my instinct would be to run screaming if I ever met someone like that😆. Not romance, deffo


But Aham is doing a great job at it. Either there is an unfolding story which will show him differently or he (the actor) actually WANTED to do a hat-ke role

If he is protecting her, then from what? I know the Cvs have managed to be very vague in his description of revenge and towards who it is directed at exactly. But burning her pics, walking into her apt at night doesn't look like protection, no?

well Radhika I don't see any point of protection here I second your thoughts as you said the revenge story is quite illogical it better be good enough to support his insanity offlate having said that I wouldn't be convinced to say he is actually innocent hypothetically if we assume that Sam was responsible for Nandini's condition yet she was a kid taking that as no excuse also she doesn't deserve betrayal and mental trauma .Secondly ,if his primary target is Sammer then it is disgusting that he is using an innocent girl and making her a scape goat to fulfill his revenge motto .In either of the cases he cannot hide behind the mask of a tragic past and get away he has to take the responsibility for his insanity as there are certain aspects like getting intimate which donot come within his " genuine" so called revenge boundry.
I also feel its too early to tag him and lets watch Aham is doing a great job .

Nice post, agree with the definition of hero and tragic hero, and at the moment Arjun's character doesn't fit any of the category, as per on going track he comes of as an antagonist more.. bt still i think its too early to judge him or call him psychopath... i'll wait till his past gets revealed.. i think intentionally or unintentionally Samaira did something which changed his life, and due to that he lost Nandini!!

But guys I have mentioned this in another post aswell no matter whatever be his motives I guess he wont reveal it this early to Sam and most importantly it might turn out to be light hearted as Arjun knows to entice manipulate and Manage.

How can u break into a gals house in the middle of the night and cut off the power? So disgusting! The problem is indian audiences romanticise these actions and find it 'hawt' 🤔 way to go in turning Arjun into a creepster! If the guard had broken into Radhika's home ppl would have gone eww but since it's Arjun it's A-Okay coz hey! Chk out the abs. I seriously hope they get this character on the right track to justify his stalkerly tendencies.

Well not going to comment of rest of the post as your definition perfectly fits some epic character of classic English shows - House MD and Sherlock are just two examples .. and these 2 men no matter what anyone call Psychopath or a sociopath are amazing and extraordinary by every means .. won't say the same about Arjun simply because I don't have any idea what he is .. we need to know a lot more about him to make him fit in a category

But definitely going to comment of the explanation of tragic hero .. you really can't define a "tragic hero" with this one line ..

Tragedy has been the most popular and favorite genre to literature geniuses .. & everyone has defined tragedy in their own way .. your lines merely explains Greek tragic heroes but fails to define Shakespearean ones .. then again we have Barnard Shaw, Rabindranath Tagore, Gorky, Maupassant and even O Henry .. and how can I forget our very own epics .. tragedy and tragic heroes has been redefined again and again from different perspectives .. one who is simple villain to one, tragic hero to other .. so lets just don't drag this topic here

Arjun is not a tragic hero .. he is a man with painful past .. that DOESN'T make him a tragic hero .. neither he is trying to be a hero nor he has shown all the traits of a psycho .. we don't know if his anger is justified or not, we don't know if he can move on from his present obsession in future or not .. if not then it will be a case of mental study sure but for now he is simply a man in wrong path that's it.. he is manipulative - yes .. but not all manipulative people are essential psychopath

I completely agree with this post but in regards to real life not reel life

In reel life such characters make things interesting add drama and spice and they keep you guessing

Hindi TV serials are full of such guys since they make the story interesting

A group of good people doing good things wont make for an interesting storyline

Secondly though Arjun's intentions are to harm Sam he hasn't actually done anything till now i am not sure if i have missed something

Thirdly i read an interesting quote few days back that every villian is a hero in his mind and until one gets inside that mind and understands him its hard to judge a character.So basically until we know the reason why he wants to harm Sam or why he hates her hmm its difficult to judge him.He may or may not have a strong reason or even his reason may or may not justify his actions but atleast it will help in understanding him.

Its also possible that he has some silly reason then he will really be crazy but personally without knowing the reason why he is doing what he doing its hard for me to judge him.

So lets see.But ya in real life if a girl meets a mysterious and sometimes weird guy like Arjun she should run far away.There is a big difference between real life and reel life

So Aham Sharma's roles are going in the reverse direction - from a Tragic Hero in MB to a Stalker in this show...😆

Anyway, yeah...the precap is damn scary and irritating as well ! I just wish Radz gives it back to him, instead of crying and freaking out all the time...!! Arjun is seriously giving me the vibes of Viraj of Dil se Di Dua, and Lakhan of Begusarai...😆 or in better terms, someone who does not mean to kill anybody, but is the ultimate WRECK PACKAGE !!

Nice post Anu !!

Btw, being manipulative, is something which male leads in tv shows lack...and those who are termed as manipulative and cunning are often the villain of the show... But I think this stalking and manipulative nature of his will fade away when his misunderstandings are cleared... he will be back to normalcy, and might become the same goody character !
