He’s been up to no good with his string of crimes from blackmail to hit and run and got away with it. It’s as if he’s trying to push the envelope to see what more he can get away with. Given he came into town wanting revenge on Anu this could well be construed as motive to hit Anu with his car.
I don't know if you got the memo but Bajaj didn't claim to be a saint ever. Also we don't know about his back story, so let's not judge if the revenge he wanted to take was justified or not.
@ bold: he did show remorse. It was not crushing guilt. But he was guilty enough to go back. It was when he found out that Anu had been taken to the hospital that returned home. He confessed to Prerna, the only person whose opinion he cares about. Told her he couldn't believe that he hadn't helped Anu. Also told her he thought Anu wasn't seriously hurt.
As to why he didn't react, he said that he went into shock. Also, he never said he increased the speed of the car to hit Anu. He said, I was angry so I was driving fast. I saw Anurag, increased the speed of the car and Anurag came in front of the car.
Now I would like to humbly submit this for consideration. What was Anurag doing in the middle of the road, talking on the phone and not making a move when he clearly saw a car was coming at him? But that's okay I guess 🙄
Now onto the so called blackmail...
Whether Bajaj is a blackmailer or not depends on how you define the term. What I understand from the term blackmail (which is the definition by Oxford Dictionary, by the way) is that it's an act of making someone do something against their will by threatening harm that is other than physical.
Did he threaten Prerna anyway? No. He gave her a choice. A deal. He'd help her if she gave him something in return. She could have, at any point chosen to not take the deal. Mr. Bajaj wouldn't even have interfered in the trail. There was no choice between the devil and the deep blue sea. The only consequence of Prerna's refusal would have been that it would have taken longer to get Anurag out of the jail. Or are we going to suggest that India's judiciary doesn't give one enough chances to prove one's innocence?
Bajaj fans don't pretend that he is all good. We know he's a selfish person who takes advantage of situations. He doesn't do the right thing but does the right thing for himself. And we like him because deep down we all do things we're not proud of. We make mistakes. We're all made of both virtues and vices. Does that mean we don't deserve to be loved? I don't think so.
