@ gaushiv13: I don't think Narottam is as calculating or bad as you are making him sound. Yes he's smart and he's cunning and he's known how to stay in the shadows, but there's a big difference between Vatsalya and Anami that has made the big brother in Narottam come out.Vatsalya was a diplomat. He refused to go to Banaras without Narottam, but at the same time, at least in Narottam's eyes, he was never there when Narottam was abused or tortured or hurt. Anami, on the other hand, stopped Pujan from slapping him, reacted strongly to the wounds on his back, went to him for help, and is standing up for him. Not only that she revealed that she's staying back only to find out what happened to Vatsalya and to get him justice. She cares nothing about the royal steels or Lal Mahal. Once her mission is over, she'll leave. In Narottam's eyes that puts her above Vatsalya.Now I'm not saying Vatsalya didn't love Narottam. He did. A lot. But for Narottam that love was not love, but a charity or a rub-in-his-face because Vatsalya was the loved son and Narottam wasn't. In Anami's case, she's almost in the same boat as Narottam and so it makes her love that much more believable.Now Narottam is not as bad as you make him sound. Yes he's using an innocent for his plan, but he doesn't know any better. Psychologically, a human is most impressionable until the age of 6. What he or she faces, learns, sees, etc. until this age is how he or she becomes later on in life. From a young age Narottam has been rejected, feminized, hurt, ignored, cast-aside, etc. He hasn't seen love. He has only seen hatred and plans and Lal Mahal's lal rang as Sudha puts it. So he has become like that. That doesn't mean that he can't change. When he sees love, understands relationships, is accepted into a family, and then has to go up against them, he'll realize how he's wrong.Not everyone is good or bad. The world isn't white or black. That's why you often hear the term grey-shaded. In everyday life we all make some good decisions and some bad. We all make some decisions that end up using someone or hurting someone. That's what makes this show so real. Because no character is in itself bad or good. Yeah there are some that are obviously "antagonists", but their situations have made them so. Pujan and co. are greedy. That makes them antagonists because they'll go to any extent to get the royal steels. Sudha is revenge-driven and psychotic. That makes her an antagonist because she'll go to any extent to get her revenge. But Narottam isn't any of these. He's just plain vengeful because of how he's been treated. When he faces the opposite, it'll tear him and that's when the good will prevail, especially when he realizes how conniving his own mother is.
