A complex hero with a hero complex

From the very beginning we see that Kabir believes in being helping the unheard raise their voice. He has always tried to help those whose voices have been muted. He wants to help tell the untold truths. Life has made him shrewd and he has learned to manipulate the manipulative. Every story he has shown was about an unheard voice finally being heard.

Even in his personal life, with the orphan children, with anurag and tarini,he is shown rooting for the underdog, trying to help someone who life has let down. Sometimes its personal, other times its just because he is that kind of person. He takes on personal guilt as well if a situation goes wrong because of him; as shown lately. He is that kind of person.

The end justifies the means. He knows the straight road doesn't work always. He's ready to take the dirty road if it leads to truth and justice. He hasn't always won, he learned his lessons the hard way. Ananya in contrast is naive and still new to so many untold truths. Kabir has lived through a hard past and become who he is. His quest for the truth and exposing the truth is all he has left.

I have a feeling, he wanted to save people early on, probably was a lot like Ananya. He was out to save the world, but faced many disappointments, in his cases? in his personal life? He lost everybody in the end, yet he still has his passion for the truth.

Sudhir Kashyap I feel was one of those people he wanted to save, but could not do so. He possibly set out to expose the truth but could not do so, and thus he holds guilt. In Ananya he is perhaps facing the aftermath of someone he could not save. He feels guilty perhaps that he couldn't save the father, and now hes seeing the aftermath. Is it because he made a rookie mistake? or is it because he did something that jeopardised the scenario?

Back then, he didn't have the power, he wasn't the Kabir Sharma. Maybe thats a justification he gave himself for his early mistake, but today even with all this, he can't help a friend he genuinely wants to. The guilt is eating at him, as he faces the past which has collided into the present.

Kabir is not shown as a bad person, hes a closed off person. He's taken punches and learned the hard way that people are power hungry, greedy and manipulative. He doesn't believe in taking a 'high road' he will get his hands dirty if he has to. He believes in the ultimate good.

Well said, he is a complex hero with a hero complex. He reminds me of Oliver Queen of Arrow, someone with a past out to do good, but has to "Kill" people along the way. TOTALLY a superhero dilemma.
BTW has anybody noticed how the name KABIR is like RAHUL from the 90s. It's the new popular name.

KABIR SHARMA...even the name sounds like a hero.
