Also I am not a great writer, just penning my thoughts and venting out my frustration. Your comments welcome.
Without a doubt, there is only one Villian in the show, which is Shivay..SSO
Yes he has his prejudice's and he does not want to give in to his feelings for Annika, because he set his goals and plays with his mind. Good or bad, he is that way. His siblings know this , Annika knew this and yet they loved and accepted him the way he was. He was always a thorough gentleman, there was not a single scene where he took advantage of Tia.
He loved his family and his brothers and ready to go in to any lengths to sacrifice for them.
Now reluctantly or so, he fell so hard for this girl, and they developed such a bond that he starts believing he knows everything about her.
When he said to Om/Annika, that he thinks ANNIKA loves him. Its true she does. However he missed the other details that he LOVES her back. Tia was the villain blindsiding him and his own mind playing Devil. So he does not believe Annika with out a Proof.
Are you angry at him for not believing Annika? Why should he, when his state of mind poisoned by Tia, completely believes that Annika is acting out of desperation.
Then Daksh shows up, and the girl he thought he knew so well accepted his proposal, and that's the first time he thought he was wrong.
Then she shows up in that guys room in the wee hours, even after him sending her back to her house.
Now he is wronged twice.
Then he sees her, reluctantly not ready to believe Daksh, accepting the money. He believed what he saw NOT what Daksh told him. Now she completely proved him wrong about his judgement.
Are you angry that he could think so lowly of her? But isn't it what he is being shown. They are not normal BF/GF to fight over infidelity or MU, or even related to each other. He has no right over her, and how he reacted was natural when he found himself helpless in that situation.
Are you angry that he hired another girl to replace Tia?
I don't support him here at all. He could have just called off the wedding but his ego and family reputation were at stake and he tried to pull off this stunt. But he did not pick Annika for this, she gave him the reason. He does not ACT, he REACTS, which is what is happening.
Are you angry because he uttered those words to Annika when he got a slap?
I am NOT. Those thoughts were killing him inside and he had to let it out, and in this emotional state of mind, they came out, yes a WRONG way, but if there is no LOVE there is no JEALOUSY and MU.
Annika's reaction is also well justified here.
Are you angry that he used Sahil as bait?
I am not, because SSO is not ruthless. It is just a harmless trick I guess. I will not pass judgments without seeing the episode . Lesson learnt.
From all the above instances, the only reason I am angry with SSO is him continuing his wedding with a random girl as a contract marriage, instead of just calling it off and letting go of his EGO.
I believe in relationship of equals, but cannot celebrate a man being crushed into the bottom of the earth, just to prove a woman more strong and uprising.
Tia and Daksh the main players in this situation but apparently they are conveniently given a pass and the horrific things that they did are now nothing compared to what he hid to Annika. But what did he do to Annika, he did not do anything to her yet, its only in the upcoming episodes that he will force her to marry him which is WRONG, but why is that you are angry at him now, which I fathom to understand.
All the bashing that SSO gets sometimes is unprecedented for any male lead to get.
Alas! Bottom line - No matter how many times I remind myself that it is just a show, it still affects. A sad SSO fan. I will still watch the show in hope that he can rise from ashes, but that seems impossible.
