Ayesha, first of all sorry to know about your personal life.
Coming back to the topic, we never said Dayal is a bad guy, did we ? We are only questioning his way of discouraging Durga. Besides, we have no idea what happened to real Durga. We only know she died and Dayal considers himself responsible. If he really was good father is a big question as of now.
Dayal lost his only daughter. When his car hit Nitya, he must have remembered his own daughter and therefore did everything to save the girl. So much was his good intentions that he gave her a new face- a face that belonged to his own daughter. He taught her everything about Durga, all her personal information. He also helped her in the so called revenge plan.
Then after sometime he forgot Nitya and Durga are two different people and accordingly have different ambtions in life. He calls her Durga all the time as if he wants to console himself that Durga is still alive. Basically, he has embodied Durga and Nitya in one body and refuses to believe that girl isn't his daughter. His love or care for Payal is biased. He cannot love Payal as much as he love Nitya. Nitya is his daughter's replacement and Payal is his daughter's best friend or best doll or whatever you may call it( It is to be taken as Payal is important to Durga but not Dayal .Payal is important because it is important to Durga not him). He cares for Payal, yes he does like he would have liked any of his patients. There is nothing so fatherly about it. There was only one tme when he was around Payal when Durga wasn't there and It was during the Ganguly track. If Durga was living in that Farm house instead of Payal, I bet there would have been better security arrangements. Its not that he has done it intentionally or anything. Its just that fatherly approach doesn't come naturally for Payal as it comes for Nitya.
Again this man is living in some kind of delusions and also want Durga to follow it. WIthout any reason or logic and evidence, he did give Dev a clean chit. He made Durga realise its time she should back off from the so called revenge plan. The initial character of Dayal wasn't like this. Remember Durga confronted Shaurya and later wanted to back off but Dayal made her realise the importance of her mission. Where is that Dayal now ?
The Indian television cannot live with romance. This show needed no Dev in first place but TRPs rules the hearts of millions. This brought the character of Dev in the show and thereafter everything changed. Each character had to be modified to induce a love story. Dayal all of a sudden started to like Dev. He was the one who encourage Dev- Payal meeting and he is also the one who wanted Durga to marry Dev inspite of knowing that Dev means Goenka and Goenka means Sakshi and Shaurya.
He is confused himself and also confusing others. He is definitely not a bad guy and not really a bad father. Being confused does n;t count as bad in any case . But his approach is not logical either and that's all we can say.
