I agree with you completely. Ved had become the villain of the story after a certain amount of time.
I don't know whether I am doing the right thing by mentioning it here, but when I watched Mahabharat, at many times I felt the good deed done by the protagonists actually culminated into the great war which was necessary; yet brought destruction. For me Bhishma and Yudhisthir had been bigger culprits than Shakuni or Duryodhan.
I am apologizing in advance if anyone feels offended in my statement and I have no intention to hurt anyone's feelings. It's just what I had felt while watching it.
Ved comes as Shifu from the Kung Fu Panda Series's 1st part while Oogway cautioned him that sometimes by trying too hard to avoid something, we indeed invite them.
I guess, after Mridul's death, Ved had become overprotective of his kids and vowed she would protect them anyway. She didn't have her own children. But her own fear and insecurity grew with time and she turned into the obnoxious Ved we all dislike.
I don't think it's possible to look beyond our loved ones. In fact, if I look at Piya here, she herself took impulsive decisions one after another when it came to Ansh or Adi. It started long ago. She got trapped herself in a Rakhchakra because at that moment for her, it was more important to ensure Ansh's safety than trying and finding her inner strength to defeat Dilruba. She didn't hesitate to attack Ansh with Patal Ketki to weaken him for sometime so that she could nab Mo. And after Adi's birth, the list grew. She became a Jalpari, she practically attacked Rahul and despite her best intentions, the boy got killed and last but not the least, giving the sword to Divya. Being a Daivik she is expected to ensure mankind's safety first. So she should have gone with destroying the sword. But in front of Adi, that became less significant and she gave in.
The same applies to Nishant and Ansh too. Nishant stabbed himself for saving Piya but he didn't wonder if both of them would get trapped in Trishanklok then what would happen to Saavi. Poor girl had already lost her mother. Then Ansh, even when he was well aware of how powerful his and Piya's combined power can be, he still chose to step back and left Piya alone because he didn't want anything to happen to her during pregnancy.
All of these acts were plain stupidity but the protagonists did that anyway because at that moment they needed to ensure their loved ones' safety.
So I do give Ved some lease for being so obnoxiously stupid and selfish.
But the things that irk me most and make me want to strangle her is that she considers herself to be the only one who truly loves Ansh and can't see anything beyond him. Neither does she let anyone put some sense into her and unfortunately, the Agyakari Gathod Clan has helped shaping this belief of her.
Piya today, wanted to go to Adi but she stopped herself when Nishant intervened. Ved would have never done that. She would run to the imminent danger and create a bigger one.
And just because we love a person dearly, that doesn't give us a license to judge anyone else's effort or loyalty or love. I agree, nothing can be greater than a mother's love. But how did Ved even forget that Piya had risked her life multiple times to save Ansh. This ungrateful idiot has conveniently forgotten that Piya gave away her life force to save her. Nishant, God knows for how many times had stood beside them. But she keeps on repeating the same mistake of trusting Mo because may be deep down, she is more comfortable in associating with her own sister than a bunch of kind-hearted people.
In my opinion, Ved's actually more concerned about saving the person Ansh who she had brought up and is Mridul's son. He is more like a trophy for Ved to prove that she had done her duty well. But as for the actual Ansh who is also a husband and a father, Ved would be least bothered about Piya or Adi if the situation requires because she has to keep him alive; doesn't matter if his reason to stay alive (Piya and Adi) is dead in the process.
And that, makes Ved the ultimate villain of Nazar.
