SwaLak - Their Love Didn't Deserve This!

Even though I'm an avid SwaSan shipper, and Lakshya's never ending foolishness frustrates me to no end, I couldn't help but feel for him today. Keeping aside all logic and reason and why the writers decided to butcher his character to the extent that he's basically incapable of deciphering the most obvious theories regarding Swara's truth, unless he gets a solid proof backing up her claims, if we see them as just two individuals who loved each other so much but were victims to certain circumstances, it really breaks my heart to see what's become of the love they once shared.

Lakshya may have found out the truth today, but alas, it's too little too late. I think a part of him was always aware in it's subconscious that what Swara was telling him was the plain and simple truth, and him lashing out on her all those times, being downright harsh to her, was all his guilt trying to cover up the rash mistake he made of marrying Ragini out of anger instead of waiting for Swara and giving her a chance to explain her side of the story. I could be wrong, but that's how I felt. From the moment he woke up in that hospital bed, the truth hit him like a ton of bricks, but still he kept looking for proofs because he was finding it hard to accept what a terrible mistake he had made. How he went about believing Swara after seeing the proofs may seem petty, but I get it to an extent. His heart needed time to process the reality of things that his mind had been shouting at him to realize since probably a long time.

I'm not defending him. God knows how much his character is pissing me off these days. But seeing him as just a guy who loved a girl and then threw it all away, all because he didn't trust her, and the pure raw agony on his face when the truth finally dawned on him and he cried his heart out for all that he'd lost, it really made me think how no one deserves to go through that pain, especially when you know it was your fault. He cried today because somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew he was too late. Him reaching the Maheshwari House after the wedding is completed is further proof of that. He can't go back now, no matter what.

This character was never supposed to turn out to be this way. I wonder what the CVs were thinking, turning him into a complete imbecile. Seems like they'll continue to do so judging by the spoilers surfacing around that even after he finds out the truth about Ragini, he won't blame her for all that she's done, claiming she did everything for love. I don't understand how he NEVER blames Ragini for anything and how he so easily believes the worst of Swara, a girl he loved. I'm going to blame the writers for this inconsistency in characterization. I understand that after seeing Swara married to Sanskar, he's going to want to move on in life himself, give his marriage a chance. But not punishing or at the very least, accepting the fact that Ragini is wrong, now that just boggles my mind.

We bash Lakshya, call him stupid and ignorant, and rightly so I might add. But today I genuinely felt for that guy. Before the writers decided to completely destroy his character, he did love Swara. I used to think maybe it was just infatuation on his part, because no one just gives up on their love the way he did, but seeing how hurt and completely broken he was today made me believe that even though it wasn't strong enough, he did love Swara. A part of him still does, but after seeing her married to his brother, he's going to do everything in his power to get over her.

So today I thought of dedicating a post to SwaLak and their unrequited love. No matter what either of them did, no one deserves their love to end this way. At least today, Lakshya deserves his moment of grief without being poked fun at. He deserves to mourn the loss of his love without being criticized over it. Today for me, he was just a man who got his heart broken to pieces due to his own mistakes. That's a guilt he's going to have to live with forever and that's punishment enough.

Ohhh, I don't know how many others feel the same, but I agree with you. I definitely felt bad for Laksh today. 😔 No matter how much of an idiot he can be sometimes, ultimately, he is still a victim of Ragini's madness, and I think today he finally had to accept the truth he had been denying.

You've expressed this so nicely Fia (which is no surprise to me 😃). I never got SwaLak- their whole pairing left me cold and I actually couldn't really get into the show at the time that track was running and didn't watch (or hardly ever) but yes, it is sad when a character that is not supposed to be a negative one is denigrated to this level.

Say what?! Even after he comes to know about how Ragini almost (she believed she did) killed Swara, he forgave her because she did all that for love?😲

I hope for his sake, the CVs sort out the character some time soon. 😕

I'm sure many people are going to disagree thinking I'm sympathizing with Lakshya or something. Which admittedly, I am 😆 . But for the simple reason that no matter what kind of person he is, whatever choices he made, he is after all, only human. And no one deserves the kind of pain he's going through and will in the future. I am only sympathizing with the fact that a person lost his love. Even if it wasn't meant to be, that has got to hurt.

Bang on post, very insightful.

Kudos to you for thinking this way when the rest of us want to give him a smack. 😆

The CVs have totally butchered and roasted that character. 😕

Even some SwaLak fans have turned against Laksh (Understandable and expected) and he's getting a lot of abuse on Twitter. Just hope Namish doesn't feel horrible seeing this. I feel so sorry for him for having to portray this character.

Laksh I hope after a good redemption track will be likeable again. I want him to go back to being the old lucky, a little immature but good at heart.

EDIT: Missed out the main point of your post 😆... Yep, I feel sorry for Swara and Laksh. Circumstances and certain individuals broke their love... but maybe it was for the best.. like Swara said yesterday maybe they weren't meant to be together. They say true love conquers everything right? So perhaps this wasn't that. Neither of them deserved the heartbreak nor the pain, but maybe they needed it to progress, to develop in life. I guess it all comes down to destiny.

Thank you 😳

Lol. You have no idea how many times I have had the urge to smack him these past few weeks 😆

I would definitely like to see a proper redemption track for him. Like Sanskar got his. Both brothers aren't evil like Ragini. They just made bad choices. I hope for the sake of all Lakshya fans out there that the CVs turn his character around for the better.

True. It's all about destiny. And you're right, they obviously weren't meant to be. But my post isn't about that. It's about their love, no matter how weak it was, coming to an end this way. I feel sorry for Lakshya for being so unfortunate as to not have a girl like Swara in his life, all because he couldn't trust her. It's sad to see the state he is in, even if it is his own fault.

I am not sure I can mourn the loss of their love like you do- not because I am heartless but because I never felt it was that sort of love, you know, like a "meant to be", "everlasting" etc etc type- what I so see (entirely my subjective POV!) with SwaSan. However, I applaud you for having the objectivity especially as you are a SwaSan shipper like me, to recognise that the loss of anyone's love is sad. Agree! My whole thinking on it is a lot more practical (not a Sanskaar devotee for no reason 😆)- I felt that their love had to be shown having an acid test that he was to fail- this is needed to differentiate between whether it was meant to be or not. However, I too see little point in why they had to make this character so totally ridiculous as it's not consistent with what he was shown as before (as far as I can tell- but wout having watched). Again, that's what we have with our shows- all or nothing! Subtle character nuances get lost in the quest for drama!

Thank you Shruti 😳 . To be honest, I never got SwaLak either. I actually never even watched the show properly when they were a couple, as I told you once before. I'm just talking about them as a general couple who were in love. I didn't feel any connection with them, but thinking of them as just a couple, and not a couple particularly from Swaragini, it does make you sympathize with their story.

Love doesn't always have to be everlasting or meant to be for the loss of it to hit you so strongly. No matter what way a person experiences it, the grief over losing it is terrible. That is the point I'm trying to make here.

You're right, they had to show this acid test to their love in order for the story to progress. But no matter what role circumstances played leading to this moment, the end result of it all was two individuals getting their hearts broken. That's what I'm sympathizing with.

That just made me despise his character even more. There is no sympathy of any sort for him. If he ever loved Swara , he cannot accept Ragini after everything she did . He can move on obviously, but with the girl who not only almost managed to kill the love of his life(if she ever was) away from him but also succeeded in making him and everyone else make her life a living hell!?

I repect your POV and the post but I will have to disagree, I don't know about "SwaLak before RagLak marriage" , however the Lakshya that I know, never really gave me any reason for me to like him or sympathise with him.

I read this in a few posts discussing spoilers, but I'm not sure how true that is. Most of it is probably just speculation.

I completely understand your sentiments regarding the RagLak issue, but that's not what my post is about. It's not even about hating or loving Lakshya's character because God knows the CVs have hardly given us any reason at all to like him these past few weeks. The complete blame lies on the writers for butchering his character unnecessarily. I just feel for the guy because he lost the girl he loved. No matter how weak his love was, he is allowed to grieve over it. He's after all, only human. He made bad choices, but that doesn't make him a bad person. He's no Ragini. So yes, for that I do sympathize with him.

I don't care what he's going to do with Ragini after this wedding fiasco ends, but I feel bad for him for what he's going through right now. After all, us humans are infamous for making the wrong choices when it comes to matters of the heart.

And I strongly feel that after Sanskar was allowed a chance at redemption, Lakshya should too. No matter how much his character pisses me off right now, he deserves a fair chance. As I said, these two brothers are no Ragini. She's evil. They just made the wrong choices.

I think Laksh would have forgiven Swara about her story, but she came back and married Sanskar. That's really where he lost his trust, was it really an accident or was it set up all along and Laksh missed the clues. Whether Swara acknowledges any feelings toward Sanskar, Laksh sees a viable relationship. Once Rags pointed it was a fake marriage, he was really on board with questioning Swaara's intentions. Was she playing him all along to hurt his family.

It wasn't that Swara's mandir story was unbelievable. It was so much happened so fast. Ragini has the traditional thing working for her and she plays the victim. We have a tendency to view traditional girl as good and the modern girl as conniving. Ragini played into that. Laksh has spent so much time focusing on Swara, he failed to look at what Ragini is doing.

Today Laksh felt regret, which I think he felt a little when Swara came back and he had already married Ragini. Today he moves from anger to remorse.
