But I had always thought that the title of this show being "Mahdubala Ek Ishq Ek Junoon" That it was MB's Ishq which she has for R.K and it would be her "Junoon" to get over the betrayal and still have passion for living her life to the best of her ability.
The story as I had understood was always about MB and her life. R.K. has been a phase in her life to teach her that you can love somebody with all you have and when that pure love is rejected and the person you fell in love with turns out to be not what you thought then you have to find the "Junoon" to pick up the pieces and move on in life.
R.K. has shown a lot of anger and a mean spiritedness and conscious planning and plotting to destroy MB.
And he is paying the price now because when you plan to destroy someone it always destroys you in the end.
Many have seen this side of R.K. as his junoon for MB and assumed that it was for "Love" when actually he put all his junoon to destroy her .
Now since he has dug his own grave by his actions he now is using his junoon for trying to turn it around to suit his need.
If his passion for MB had been love the first thing he would see is the pain he caused her and the pain she still is feeling.But he sees none of that and as far as I know loving some body means you think of them first.
R.K. has reached a precipice of madness only when he realized that MB had another interest and that she had moved on.
I say this because after he left her at the chawl and then found her working at the studio he had not stopped to torment her further and stooped so low as to even use Dipali to torture MB.
He has made MB tell him over and over again that he is the only man in her life. There is no trust and without that there can be no love or junoon.
