Excellent! This is how shrewd advocates defend the criminals in the court. Mr. Bajaj is no saint.. So he can decide the time after which he should come back to save the dying person ... And he has that sixth sense which helps him know how much time is left for the injured person after the hit and run. Since mr basu didn't move, he can run him over because that's how a licensed driver should drive no matter how much open space was there and how little was the traffic.... And no way mr bajaj can be the blackmailer..he has just given prerna an all time easy choice which was either to sell her or see her love and the father of unborn baby in the jail..... Infact he should be appreciated as he was ready to marry her without ever thinking of the future of her unborn ... Just because he is no saint , he should think marriage to be a business deal too....and hit and run to be a normal daily affair....police may be in front of him, but he can decide the appropriate time to confess his negligible mistake .... He is bold enough to show eyes to the family whose eldest member is not well and only son is dying because of him and the reason is as usual he is no saint!!!Originally posted by: aryapdane
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.
