I did dislike him as a child. He used to be so mean to his sister. Ganging up with his mother against her!
But the writers have done a fine job showing the layered and complicated man that Baldev is. For example, the way he is horrified when Veera tells him that her husband will make rotis after marriage and his dream:-D But we also have a man who despite his conventional views about women supports Veera unconditionally in her time of need. He offers to buy her kulfi to cheer her up! His discomfort was so endearing:-)
The real fun will start when Veera's progressive views and Baldev's rather patriarchal notions clash.
How he will reconcile his gruff exterior and his growing feelings for a woman who challenges him at every point...there's a lot of potential to this character that makes me love him;-)
