Is Shaurya an illegitimate child?

Well I'm thinking about this after watching today's episode.

I don't think that's necessary. Today's episode confirmed that Rajnath although didn't want to marry Sakshi, he at least found her attractive. It's very likely that after they got married, they still had some intimate moments together (although I don't understand why Sakshi would want this to happen considering her revenge plan against Rajnath - unless she really wanted to produce an heir).

He may be born from the affair Rajnath had with Sakshi before marriage. Quite possible that she blackmailed him not just for revenge of his betrayal but also due to being pregnant with his child.


But I wonder what they saw in Rajnath that both Sakshi and Raima got fooled by him! Money and celeb status?

yes, he's too mcuh like Rajnath to not be his son. Both are one of a kind 🤢

Celebrity and power can be potent attractions for some. Given her will to not only survive but win at any cost, and her ambitions, rajnath's glamor must have had a pwerful draw for Sakshi. She was clearly enamored of him for a while and fell into his trap so easily. Not just for the "love" -- clearly she had that from Rehmat too -- but the allure of status and ultimately the delusion of power.

But her love for Akram as a child and all of that seems to so not gel with the ruthless person she became later. Rehmat was only a stepping stone?

See I suspect she was first infatuated with celebrity Rajnath and then with his flirting and compliments she fell in love with him. Maybe in her craze for him she helped him kill Rehmat or maybe Rehmat was killed by Rajnath over that tape and revelation of affair and this made Sakshi feel guilty.

Interesting...the way Rajnath's skeletons are tumbling out, it could well be him that burned Rehmat's factory. In Akram's FB though they showed her handing the money to someone, the uncle?

It could be a slow descent into ruthlessness, with a perfect storm of all kinds of factors, and her own Dorian Gray type of bartering of her soul for power and the ultimate victory -- entry into the menagerie of power!

She was even thinking that it is time to take control of the empire - when rajnath seemed to falter (playacted in front of her) before Dev's trial.

Yes, she did keep those pictures of Akram...somewhere he must have mattered.

If the story could have been told as intended, I would have loved to see the shades of grey all humans are colored by. Some darker than others, but there are always so many sides. It needs a deft story telling and a skilful portrayal to go beyond the black and white.

I agree with you Dazee.
