I think moral constrictions and judgements put characters in a box. Something that ITV does allow for, given its long running time span, are arcs. All kinds of arcs. To say that Anurag always needs to play from within a box and Bajaj needs to play within his, is restricting the characters and everything they can or cannot do/can or cannot be. Bajaj can both be an asshole, completely callous to the pain of others, and sensitive to a degree where the same pain puts him in a frenzy.
Likewise, this plot was ALWAYS in the making for Anurag. He's bee unable to handle what Prerna did to him. I will not comment on his character arc because that will take a long post in itself, but the moment he started on his path of vengeance against Bajaj, both Anupam and Nivi saw something dangerous in him, they both voiced the same and tried stopping him. He's been witnessing a slow descent and Prerna's partially responsible for that. She needs to give him a closure. How he takes that closure is on him, but he deserves it nonetheless.
His character arc was always meant to hit rock bottom before it could rise again. Very heathcliffish but there's nothing wrong with exploring the absolute madness, obsession, and destruction love can bring. Forcing labels like good, bad, white, black flatten out stories until they all look, sound, feel the same. I think I'd rather enjoy the character arc Anurag is bound to take. The transformations and resolutions matter. And Anurag will probably come out of it as someone who realizes where he went wrong and put things right.
