After watching today's episode I really feel NK is also a victim of Sandy's nefarious plans. Obviously that doesn't exempt him from personal responsibility. But when you destroy someone's confidence it is really hard for them to think for themselves. Case in point both Nirmala and Karan.

Watching the earlier flashback scene of Karan's namkaran. It seems that NK was actually a nice guy to Nirmala. He obviously valued Nirmala's input on the name of Karan. His main issue there was Dadu naming him such an old fashioned name of Nand Kishore.

Seeing that it seems in his younger years he struggled with an identity crisis. His father was a great man.. self made and someone who people revered for his values. Its hard for anyone to live up to that. It seems Dadu also put a lot of pressure on NK to live up to that.. but then to always be made to feel that you falll short is also hard? Its very similar to what Karan is going through. Karan couldn't handle second prize-- because for once he wanted to win. Same way NK can't handle Dadu praising Sharda because for once he wants his father to praise him.

Not only could NK never live up to his father's standards, he also never fit into the modern world with his lack of english education and his small town wife. So really he was a man left with no identity. He handles a big business but his father doesn't give him credit for it. He still holds back the final responsibility of signing the cheques. So he doesn't get any vote of confidence in his abilities as a person. That exact insecurity was exploited by Sandy to make him the man that he is. NK is just much further down this path of bitterness and cynicism that Karan was on.

I will be honest : I don't feel bad for NK at all.
His father is a great man, maybe wanting NK to live up to the expectations he had from NK, and maybe he couldn't live up to that.
The main problem with NK is : He is too selfish, disrespectful towards his wife, his son, his daughters in law, their mom...my question is : Why ????
Even if Sandhya is influencing him in a bad way, how old is he ???? A toddler, a 4 yr old...what ????
He is a grown up man who runs such a huge family business, can't he think for himself ???
Can someone influence a person to such an extent that he cannot differentiate btwn right and wrong ???? I really don't believe that. NK knows very well what is right , what is wrong, what is beneficial for himself...he knows perfectly. So whatever he's doing whether its Sandhya's advice or his own thinking, he's doing it out of his own selfish reasons.
And if he really wants his fathers approval, then why for once doesn't he try doing something good, something his father can be proud of !!! But no !!!
Instead he keeps walking the wrong path, infuriating his father more, coz NK knows that his father is a righteous man
And with this whole drama now, he has made things worse.
I have always learnt one thing: If you cannot do good for someone, don't do bad with that person either, coz one will always reap what they sow. That is how Karma works.
There is still time for NK to mend his ways , but if he doesn't , he deserves what is coming his way

Couldn't agree more Malika. As soon as hints were given that Sandhya is not what she seems, I knew immediately that every rift in that house is because of Sandy. She is smart and played everyone very cunningly. They didn't stand a chance.

Nirmala considers her a sister and thinks she is helping her. But we know what Sandhya has done. Totally destroyed Nirmala's confidence.

She also exploited NK and his insecurities. This NK that we see now is not the real NK.

She totally ruined Karan and than created a rift between the brothers.

I am totally not sure what the heck is her end game.

I think she wanted to select girls for the brother's herself but that was foiled by Dadu. NK, in his arrogance ruined her plan further by getting Naina married to Karan.

The means was wrong but NK really did Karan and Nirmala a great favour by bringing Naina into their lives.

I am sure there will be a time when he is going to recognize all this for himself. I have faith in the CV's. NK is going to learn and I feel, after this track will be his learning phase!! Sandy's importance needs to be removed.

The moment NK doesn't feel dependent, he will come around. My point, why does he need Sandy now. He has Kunal and Meghna both. Educated and business people.

Guess, will have to wait and watch.

Can we really compare the situations of NK and Karan ????
I don't feel so.
NK was given an opportunity by his father to do something, to make something out of his life, but what is he doing with the opportunity he got ???? He keeps spoiling it for himself by being a selfish prick all the time.
On the other hand Karan was never given an opportunity to do something on his own , for his own, becoz everyone kept telling him that he's good for nothing becoz of his illness. They never really treated Karan like a human actually, someone with a free will and mind.

Agreed Eshu, no comparison between NK and Karan.

Dadu gives opportunities to NK but NK doesn't do the same for Karan. Everything is the opposite with Karan. No opportunities, no credit, no nothing.

I think Karan's dislike for NK comes from watching the treatment his mom goes through. He doesn't hold grudges for himself.

though you are right at your point but there are such ppl and trust me I saw some real close...

as Malika said his lack of identity is the worst thin, and that makes him a 4 yr old, he never got the confidence to take a correct decision, because maybe Dadu never parsed him. I will explain...Maybe he took many wrong decision, and dadu scolded him, but then Dadu never corrected them or gave him another chance to make the same decision again, even if there was a little good in that idea Dadu just scolded him for the bad, and this mad him worse, actually some ppl are less mature and so they need to be behaved like a kid no mater how old they are, to boost their confidence. Now when NK saw no mater what he does Dadu don't like it, so he started to take Sandy's ideas hoping they will please Dadu, and Sandy influenced him in such a way that she makes him believe they are right and Dadu is wrong...

Now Nk does knows what he did to Sharda is wrong, but now he did it cause he is jealous of her and want to make her bad in Dadu's eyes, that too, is not the whole truth, the thing is he things Sharda is bad, and he want's to show Dadu her true face and this too is fed in her head by Sandy..🤢

and he is not doing anything in business other than wrong things..Dadu is still managing the business and NK don't take any decision or sign papers nor he is given any major responsibility..he just goes and comes like a kid who just joined family business and following his dad to office...😆

totally agree with you!
There is a big difference in NK & Karan's situation.
NK was a grown adult -- was he really that dumb to fall into Sandy's words. It's his own loss for not valuing all the things he has instead he's too busy blaming his father and family for what more he could've achieved. I really wonder at times what actually made him change so much -- he seemed to have been a nice guy and a good husband to Nirmala.

In Karan's case his family somewhere just neglected him, if they had supported him and stood by his side then I'm sure he would've got somewhere in life too. Too bad he fell in the wrong hands and Sandy just ruined it all for him.

The family wouldn't have started out feeling as if Karan was good for nothing right from the start. That was a slow process.

So NK "feels" as if he has given Karan every opportunity to succeed and "feels" Karan has squandered them by not completing any task. Which is the same thing Dadu has said to NK many times. Dadu has given NK opportunities but always on his terms. He doesn't let NK sign the cheques... so ultimately Dadu still holds all the power. NK gives Karan opportunities but also on "his" terms. Even in NK's mind, Karan's marriage to Naina is also an opportunity given to him by NK (if only he knew how right he is 😆).

But even in the dance competition.. despite the fact that NK believes the worst of Karan.. he was very happy when Karan was performing well because he does want him to succeed.
