Got me thinking.

Aman's apparently not all that well in his head. (Okay, understatement, he's a psychopathic monster). But I was thinking about his character just today. I don't quite get it. I mean, he's supposed to be kind of aggressive with all the grabbing Kakun all the time, and still it's weird that he hasn't exactly done anything to her physically since he claims to be madlessly in love with her.
What I mean is; isn't he a all-in-one package deal kind of character? If he attacks women (twice) and murders them (twice) and the marries the woman he's fallen in love, who doesn't want him - that should trigger some kind of aggressive snip-snap in his head, right? I'm not saying that he should rape Kakun (hell, no!), but shouldn't they show him assaulting her violently? I know he grabs her arms a lot, but I'm thinking slapping. Okay, I'm not promoting violence here, it's just a thought that occurred to me about his kinds of characters.
I've seen tons of abusive husbands shows/movies and they always start out with a little grabbing, which quickly turns into slapping and fisting - in Hollywood movies: rape, too. Thank God, this is an Ekta-serial, I haven't yet seen a serial of hers, where rape has happened, which is waaaay fine with me.
Anyway, what do you guys think? Time for Aman to develop a little?

yeah i do think your right abt aman- while we believed he loved kk and everything he did was her and that he was waiting for his actions to turn her love for rahul into hatred and then fall in his arms-fine he didnt push her 'romantically'.
but now that she knows the truth you would think that he would try to 'enforce his marital rights' we've seen alittle like whn they were dancing or he touches her hair but nothing that was really threatening and you wouldnt think he would have the patience to continue as is cause now that she knows the truth shes not going to turn to him at all.
another theory is that he just enjoys having her in his power like a cat with a captured mouse, not going to eat it just yet wants to play with it 1st. i also think he likes the idea that he has out witted rahul and everyone else, who turned their back on him. he said that everyone is dancing to his tune.
so maybe he likes the idea that every time hes with kk rahul dies alittle and that with kk he knew she could never love him that way so maybe having her to force /make a show of a happy marriage is his revenge on her for not loving him.
didnt make any sense in turning him evil but it is getting interesting, ive a feeling the show may start to revolve around aman and kk. i liked it whn she just sat blowing on her nails and said she wasnt going with him and that look she gave him which made him realise she had faked the injury. good on her but we so the concern on aman face as he was phoning the dr - never straight forward with ekta!

Precisely. I think that his character is really confusing. Either he truly cares about Kakun, and doesn't want to do anything to hurt her - or he's obsessed with owning her, because of complexes such as his first love leaving him, which might have made him feel unimportant and used. I don't know. If he truly cares about Kakun, then he should be afraid of losing her, and desperately trying to keep her by showing the side of him, which she cared about. It would be manipulation from his side, because he'd know it would confuse. She may think that he's just not well, and stay loyal to him in order to help him. Or she may not.
If he's obsessed with owning her, having the power over her and his family, and if he's shown aggressive whenever he's alone with Kakun, then Ekta should focus on developing that, because the way he's acting, I'm constantly waiting for the last "click" in his head. It's like Ekta's holding back a little. Maybe it's on purpose.

I think Aman is very clever but not mad or psychotic. He find pleasure in over powering the people he wants to own. He did not love Swati nor he loves Kaakun; he wants to own her. I dont think he is the lusting type that explains his lack of interest in forcing her to physically accept him or attemping rape.

Well, he only owns her by name, in the eyes of the world. I think that if you kill two women out of fury, have a chit-chat with your consciousness and then try to strangle it - spells mentally unbalanced in capitol letters. More roughly said; psychotic.

Alright, so I need to get this off my chest, because it's starting to annoy me.
What exactly are Ekta's plans for Aman? (I know, nobody knows.)
I have a thousand questions about him that I'd like answered at some point, but which I probably won't get answered. I'd like to know why he killed Swarti as one thing. It's not enough that she was leaving him, there had to be something more behind it. There had to be a reason. Why would you kill someone that you love so much just because the person was leaving? Wouldn't you at least try everything in your power to make that person return to you first? Why did he think of killing her as the first and only option? Did he react out of fear or rage or both?
I understand why he killed Naina. It's easier to kill second time, I've heard. And so he didn't hesitate at all, because once again he saw his future disappearing on the cost of Naina's wish. But when Ekta has shown him as an aggressive, violent against women kind of person, then why's he holding back with Kakun? Is it because he loves her more than he loved Swarti? Shouldn't he then be more afraid of losing her? Shouldn't he be shown worried and sweating over the fact that Kakun knows the truth, and that he'll never have her now? It's strange that all he wanted was Kakun, and he was willing to kill for her, but still he told her the truth and knows that she'll never love him back now - but he's not even worrying about it? He's not aggressive about it. He's not forcing her to love him back, and I'm not just talking about the physical part. It doesn't make sense to me. It's like his character is blurred all of a sudden, and you can't make out what he is, how he is and what he wants.
It doesn't make sense, because you keep comparing him to the Aman we used to know. And there's just too much good back then to make sense out of his evilness now. There has to be a reason. Is he angry with his family? Is it vengeance? Doesn't he feel important? What is it?

1stly remember that this is ekta, i dont even think she thought aman was going to turn out psychotic! in the beginining i think he was going to be the good guy the opposite of rahul.

i mean to be frank rahul has been a b*****d in his treatment of kk, we all blame naina but love or no love he WENT ALONG with it all and then instead of admitting it continued with the deception of kk in the wrong.

anyway back to aman the best thing to do is split him into 2- pre killing of naina and post:

pre-killing- was kk best friend, believer in love, loved kk but knew it wasnt returned etc

post-killing-a power hungry control freak murderer!
i agree with mita_m that aman pleasure is in being able to control kk. he likes the idea of being the puppetmaster and everyone is dancing to his tune-thats y he didnt compromise himself as a lawyer cause he wanted/needs the praise acceptance of his family.
with kk he knew she was never going to love him thats y while rahul was in jail he set things up for kk to hate rahul, however once the truth was known his plan changed.
before getting that the questions comes to WHY did he tell kk the truth? he said himself he couldve said the items were returned to him from the court or any no. of excuses but he told the truth, reasons:
1. makes for a more interesting story!
2. from aman side he knew rahul was out, he knew he was innocent, matter of time before a-kk realised that too (he didnt know that nainao had already told her) or b-that kk love for rahul would overcome everything she did after all forgive him for tearing down her house and making homeless her family!
so by telling her he retains power over her especially by threatening rahul he makes sure she tows the line! this is the only way he can have her then so be it especially if it means rahul cant have her!
his love is in fact hate; he hates the fact kk loves rahul even after all hes done to her, he hates the fact that after caring and helping her she doesnt love him, he hates the fact he knows wht he has done and is doing is wrong but even knowing all this he hates the fact he has lost.
remember rahul said to nainao that if uve never lost a case aman has always won his cases- before we all assumed swarti killed herself but later found out that aman killed her cause she was leaving him (forget the pre-naina swarti-aman love) basically he was LOSING her and he couldnt take it so he killed her-in his eyes he WON.
with kk couldnt do another murder (also kdmh would end! cant have that) but he wins not her love but everything else and her suffering is his win for her not loving him and if rahul suffers too then icing on the cake. but hes not bothered abt rahul just abt making kk suffer, u could see his anger whn kk got up forgetting her ankle and worried abt rahul and he said wht husband would take his wife to her lover-with venom!
as for the physical side even he knows that kk will fight him on that especially in the house and he def doesnt want that that y he wants the honeymoon.
well this is my take on aman i liked him whn he was good and wanted him and kk to get together-thought it would far more interesting in them bring down rahul and naina and in parts u could see ekta playing with that possibility too.
being evil did take abit of getting used too but u needed somebody to be the baddie and with naina dead not much of a choice left! and hes grown in the role. so back to the wait and see.......

In that case, it should have been made more clear. I keep getting confused about his state of mind. Even if things really are the way you explained, then it has not been shown clear enough from Ekta's side, unless she does not know herself what she wants from the character or where she wants to take him.
Regardless of why he has done what he has done, I think that the importancy of his deed has been made a little unimportant. I mean, he has not merely hurt someone, he has killed. He has taken a life - I am just missing the part where it is taken more seriously. I don't know how to explain it, because it's this feeling I have about his character whenever I watch an episode. Like something is missing about him.
I do think that he was aware of that Kakun may eventually come closer to him, though. Because she was already sharing a bed with him, she did his tie, she was by his side and smiled to him, she let him bring her presents and was earnestly happy about it - their relationship was actually beginning to move forward and not staying where it was. Eventually, I think, she would have learnt to share more with him, in time. Because she trusted him so much.
By telling her the truth - he ruined all that and even the smallest chance of a happy married life with her. Now, why would he do that? Why would he tell the truth only to earn her hatred instead of her affection, only to earn her distrust instead of her trust, only to earn distance instead of closeness? No matter how much he knew she loved Rahul, he's her husband and they were close, why would he rather want the opposite than just that small part of her friendly love?

elysia its an interesting topic. u got me thinking now

firstly i think ekta never intended to make aman negative when they introduced him in the show. the whole turning him evil was more like a last minute decision to extend the show hence the lack of consistency. i think right from day 1, aman was supposed to be the good guy, the sweet,caring friend but considering its ekta, i knew he would fall for kk to create another triangle (the first one was rahul-kk-naina bhasin) but turning him into a psycho and then killing naina was an unexpected twist ( that was pretty shocking).

the reason why he did not rape/physically force her etc coz i think he kind of wants kk's involvement in the act or he does not want kk to create a scene in the house (maybe thats why he was so interested to grab the honeymoon tickets) he wants to protect his 'ideal son/bro/hubby' image inside the house.

I think that you're right. But I just really hope that they're going to remove some more layers of his character and reveal some more, give us answers, you know?
But thanks for all the replies. At least I'm a little less confused about him now 😛
