Raj is called worse because he is from a family, he had a good upbringing. And had a brother like Arnab whose guidance he could have taken.
Unlike Sakshi who is an orphaned street waif who grew up in shady circle. Her desperation is atleast understandable. But not Raj's. Raj is plain bad apple who had it all but still deviated to wrong path.
Nobody justifies Sakshi.
As far as kids are concerned, both had them together. But Sakshi atleast remained faithful unlike Rajnath who claimed to hate her yet made 2 kids with her and still slept with another woman who he called his true love and cheated her too by wrecking her marriage to another guy.
It is worse manipulation to tell another woman that you do not love the one you married yet have 2 kids with her and get other woman to protect those kids too/cover their deeds. Wonder why Raima never questioned him why he had 2 kids with Sakshi if he loved her (Raima) and hated the other?
Or either kids are not their own and they deceived each other.
Sakshi's bedding is not clear. Being married does not mean she had physical relationship with Rehmat. Even duration of their marriage is not clear. Whether she killed him soon after marriage or not.
Rajnath's bed games are talked of because they are evident.
Both are in it for money. But Rajnath's need was not that dire that he even killed for it?
Lastly, Rajnath has scenes where he openly encouraged Shaurya to bet on women, and thwarted Sakshi's attempt to scold him. So he very much deserves the brownie points he gets.
Fad in this forum were "poor Rajnath" posts which were in plenty and justified him or called him great lover or less evil. Plus absolved him of any responsibility as a father. Never seen you comment on psychopathic tendencies then.
This leeway given to him has roots in gender whether one accepts or not. His behaviour was justified as men will be men.
Shaurya also had his apologists for months despite rape being proven. And Durga was bashed for targeting him or not trying to improve him. All these factors combined reflect a bias in favour of men, forever giving them chances and benefits of doubts. Whereas women are only ones to be blamed. This esteemed forum first blamed Payal for lying about rape or having delusions that she was raped.
This trashing of woman characters warrants a point on gender. All deny it but posts reflect bias which they try to avoid admitting.
