Since you mentioned positive shade, I'll just address that. He's white shaded or positive or whatever the term is, in reality no one is fully white or black or fully grey too. There are hues of everything in everyone. But in stories, we do have positive characters, negative ones, Grey ones. And positive ones represent goodness, and when they err, it isn't easy to brush it off, coz they are not supposed to err in the first place. Because, in a story, this positive character represents goodness. They can go through heartbreaks but they are still supposed to be good through that. See Prerna. I don't see one God saving logic in that character, but she's a good character. Which is why she lies to him, even though, any erring human, would at least feel hurt that after ruining her own life for the dude, he slaps her based on her words.
When the bars are set so high, anything below that looks unacceptable.
Ekta has given a very strange stereotypical definition of white, black, grey while we have mythology that has shown the good characters err & even do blunders at times & still stand respected at the end of the story.
AnuPre with high bar characterization were supposed to disappoint with revealition of their dark sides & shortcomings, that's a pattern consistent for all white characters in the world. Makers fault was their repeated iteration on how Ram like Anu is when even Ram's actions remain debated in modern times. All these characters should have been established as fundamentally flawed instead of such raised bar characterization.
