Sure let's start with the horrible stuff Karan has done for preeta and compare it with just the one or two shows of Ekta's I have watched. So Karan insulted preeta and threw her out of his house and then he acted in front of her family only to leave her in the middle of the road and then he insulted her again multiple times and distrusted her and decides to get married to Mahira to see preeta in pain. And he was being obsessive throughout.
Let me compare this with kkb. Abhi left Pragya on their suhagrat to spend time with Tanu. Forced himself on her and insulted her multiple times. And let's say these are all before he even knew her so maybe he is a little excused. After he knew her, when his dadi died trying to save Pragya and Pragya went there to save Abhi,he blamed her and threw her out of his house. They were married here for years and he asked her to leave. And she was pregnant and lost and was going to kill herself if it weren't for king who saved her and gave her and her kid a name and took care of them and treated them with respect. And then when she bumps into him again he gets obsessive and possessive and crosses all personal space even while thinking that she is married to another man and was blaming her for leaving just because he asked her to leave. I don't see any of this romantic. And then finally to get her and Kiara back,he consciously goes to the terrorists in the mall and asked them to shoot him so forcing her to reveal her love for him in that situation. Lot of people might see this romantic but I see this as an emotional blackmail. And then king was such a sweetheart so in order to make the audience accept Abhi, they made king bad and then leading to Kiara's death. Also not to forget that bulbul died because of abhi's sister and everyone knew and she was forgiven. Anyway after Kiara's death, Pragya had just given birth to twins and they end up fighting and he asks her to never step in his house or the city. I mean sure he was angry but kicking your wife who just lost her daughter and had just given birth to two kids along with one of them out of the house is horrible. Even worse than Karan leaving preeta in the middle of the road. I get that Pragya was also angry but Abhi could have stopped her instead of giving into his anger again, after all she lost her daughter who was not just her daughter but sole reason why she was alive and had survived the seven years without him. And not forget that Tanu was in the house all along even after knowing what all she and Aliya are capable of. So yeah Pragya getting insulted,check. Pragya getting kicked out, check. Abhi getting obsessive, check. Abhi almost getting/getting married to Tanu,check. The only difference between Abhi and Karan is Karan is doing everything out of hatred and anger while Abhi did everything out of ignorance and love. And to make matters worse, Aliya was the reason bulbul died and she was forgiven so easily and is still there in the house. I think Abhi is almost same or even worse than Karan, but he has amazing chemistry with Pragya and always get cheesy with her and is in love with her so he is a saint. Again if you want to defend Abhi then you can defend him because of the situation and stuff the same way people can defend Karan because of situations and stuff.
About kzk2. Anurag and Prerna are basically doormats. But more than Prerna let's talk about Anurag here. Him pushing Prerna in the bridge to save her and her daughter from komolika is a spineless act that he cannot even protect his own wife and child. But people romanticize it because of his intention, even if it was a fake murder attempt it still was a murder attempt and what if things hadn't gone the way he planned? And again,she had just given birth to Sneha and post partum depression is a clinical thing so to push a new mom to the edge like this is horrible(in both Prerna and Pragya's case). And he didn't bother tracking her well being as well(neither did Abhi in kkb). So again him marrying komo, check. Him insulting Prerna (even if it was fake it was still insulting),check. Him getting obsessive, check. Him abandoning her and her child when they needed him the most is again worse than Karan leaving preeta in the middle of the road on their wedding.
Again the only difference between all these leads and Karan is that Karan is doing it out of anger and hatred while they claim to do everything for love and sometimes had no other option but to go about that so that's spineless. And definitely Karan will also have a good redemption track that'll make everyone sympathize with him like they did with Anurag and Abhi. Although in my opinion their redemption tracks barely started when the FLs accepted them already. And these are just in very few of the Ekta shows I have seen. I am sure there's more like this.
i wanted to know the male lead who is worse than karan. u named anurag and abhi. they are almost saints in front of karan. i didnt get the anwer what i actually wanted to know. 😕
anyway i dont think any redemption can make preeta fall in love with karan. however she will forgive him for the sake of her own sanity in distant future.
