Hey guys,

The past couple of episodes have left me confused by what the characters are actually supposed to represent. The character that confused me the most was Sher because he has shown that he has many layers and he's not exactly the protagonist or the antagonist. In that sense, I feel that the CVs have characterised him well because everyone has grey shades but some people express that side of them more often than others.

This is no way a justification for Sher's indifference towards Shraddha and Sumer's pain but merely an analysis of why he is the way he is. He grew up under the influence of Bhavri Devi and this is how he has witnessed people being treated so naturally he feels that he is doing the right thing. It says that the show is about the reformation of a charming and powerful bad boy and that's what the CVs are showing us.

Sher does have a loving and caring nature but it's not something that comes naturally to him because he has never really been put in a situation where he needs to empathise with someone. In addition to what I've said, I think the CVs have taken this route because they want to show that Sher actually isn't in love with Shraddha but was simply infatuated with her which is why he's being so inconsiderate of her.

He has never been in love with her because for that to have happened, he would have had to have proper conversations with her where she was also an active participant. He has made no effort to ask her about her feelings or why she agreed to marry him. He has no clue about what Shraddha is going through and he frankly doesn't care. His "love" is superficial but the more time they'll spend together, the more he'll grow to understand her and consequently love her for real too.

Therefore, what I feel the story is really about is how Sher's infatuation over Shraddha changes into love and this new found feeling makes him realise that in order to be deserving of Shraddha, he needs to be a better person, hence the reformation.

Do leave your thoughts behind!

Hi Shegufta😃

That's an interesting take on Sher Singh & this show. I'm not sure if the makers have what you said in mind, but I have a very different opinion on this. I'm going to copy-paste some of my thoughts from my earlier thread.

I don't think that he doesn't love Shraddha. He does. The issue, in my opinion, is

1. that he doesn't know how to love. Notice that BD displays her affections for Sher in a very twisted, rather than maternal way. She does it by constantly implying her right on him, on his life & her love for him. But she never actually sits with him, makes conversations with him. That is the kind of love he is used to. And that is exactly what Sher is doing with Shraddha. He is showing his love for her in a way of asserting his right on her, be it in a good way (when he gives her back her sari in the earlier episodes) or in a bad way (when he orders Shraddha to hit Sumer)

2. he is at a crossroad & he is not sure of the road to choose - he wanted Shraddha to accept him out of love but instead he is now stuck in a marriage which he can't just break but can't accept either because she does not love him. He is constantly tormented by the fact that he has been forced into this unwanted bond, even though he wants it at the same time.

He might look like a confusing character. But he's not. He's all about reciprocity. He gives you back what you give him. When he first met Shraddha, he was instantly attracted, & like a charming man, he extended his hand out, which she took. So he took it one step further. He offered his hand again, but she didn't take it. She looked back at him while walking away, & that was the signal for him. So he reached her house, with the proposal. The next time he met her, she fell to his feet, apologized & honestly shared her feelings about this alliance, & he accepted. He backed off, with a heavy heart. She approached him again, but this time she made the proposal. He was skeptical, but he accepted, happy at the thought of getting her love. On the wedding night, just when he was about to begin his new life & newfound happiness, she spilled the beans. She rejected him & told him that she never wanted this marriage. He was insulted, he was rejected for the second time, that too after she was the one who brought the proposal again. Her rejection invoked that bad side, that arrogance. But his mother's bad behaviour with Shraddha came in between & stopped his bad side from surfacing. His arrogance, however, remained & so he didn't help her. He didn't bring her to her grandmother's house, he refused to stand up for her infront of all.

He told her clearly to escape without anyone finding out, but again her mother discovered this. And there we saw it, the real evil & mean side of Sher Singh. All the emotions came out in that scene when he made Shraddha hit Sumer. His anger as to why she didn't heed his instructions to not get caught. His arrogance with the woman who rejected him, pleading infront of him. His possessiveness that Sumer & Gajra were privy to her plans, they are important to her but he is not. Flashback to when Sher was drunk, he questioned Shraddha as to why she did not speak to him before marriage, about his mother blackmailing her. He hates it. He hates being kept in the dark, especially when it comes to someone he loves.

All his emotions are in a mess. And with BD & Vikas constantly instigating him, it is getting more difficult for him to keep the growing volcano within him. And the past two episodes were just a trailer of the eruption. There is a lot more to come. Virat's entry is not going to make things any better. For Sher to truly become Shraddha's protector, like we see in the first promo of the show, he needs to deal with all these emotions. And Shraddha needs to make the first step. A quiet, scared Shraddha is only making things more difficult.
