Baldev and Gunjan...both the siblings have been deprived of one of their parent's love since childhood...Bansuri in Gunjan's case and Balwant in Baldev's.
Both of them had a troubled childhood IMO...
yet both of them have completely different ways of dealing with it!
Balwant has been constantly behind Baldev since childhood for being a "naalayak"!
He has always compared him with Ranvi...has always looked down upon him...has never tried to encourage him, guide him on the right path...he never did wat he shld have actually done being a father!
This is the main reason why Baldev hates Ranvi so much...coz constant comparison with other children affects a child's mind quite negatively...same has happened with Baldev too!
He has seen his father prefering Ranvi over him...has seen him singing Ranvi's praises...and children never tolerate their parents prefering someone else over them!
But Baldev had his own way of dealing with all this...by hiding his emotions beneath his tough exterior he has made sure that ppl dont take him for granted!
He has set his own limitations too!
Yes he hates Ranvi to the core...but has never tried to hurt him or his family just for the sake of revenge...unlike Gunjan who literally tried to ruin Ranvi just coz her alliance with the fraud NRI broke off!
He shows as if these things...his father's biased behaviour doesnt affect him...but actually it does...that too very deeply!
He loves and respects his dad a lot and deep down craves for his affection and attention!
Balwant's illness track showcased his vulnerable and emotional side to us...his concern for his ailing father,being desperate to get him admitted asap...told a different story altogether!
I personally believe that his dream of becoming the Sarpanch has got more to do with him proving his mettle infront of everyone...especially Balwant!
He sees this as an opportunity to make him proud...to prove that he's not a "naalayak"...wat his dad actually thinks of him!
Saying this...I want to see a major confrontation between the father-son duo...which is much delayed!
Coz Baldev has lots of frustation and emotions piled up in his heart and those cld just erupt anyday!
Balwant needs a reality check...he needs to understand that he has indeed got a gem of a son...who just needs polishing and correct guidance!
Im desperately waiting for that day!
P.S. Just a random post on Baldev!
Im officially in love with this character...and just loving how we are witnessing his different shades of late!
