Congrats on the new AT đJust caught up with the discussion and even I feel unfortunately bajaj is related to the basu's somehow mostly as A's half brother .Him mentioning to A about his father seemed a very deliberate move on his part .It's like he is asking A to dig up his past and A will mostly fall for it too đor the other option is A will try to instigate to P something about bajaj's past they will investigate and Bajaj will make sure his past will be revealed in such a way that it ends up elevating him more in Prerna's eyes and A ends up in the ditch again !

Seriously,I loved this....It widened my horizon.đAlso I love you...Originally posted by: AllThatCritique
TODAY'S EPISODE GOOD LORD! :D
If I had to say one thing about it,just one it would be : animalistic! Or Predatory! Or Psyched! Or unhinged!
The way my emotions were all over the place when Rishabh's monologue ended,THE WAY MY EYES ALMOST POPPED OFF ITS SOCKETS! RISHABH I THOUGHT I LOST YOU SOMEWHERE THESE PAST FEW WEEKS BUT HERE YOU ARE :D
My primary reason to watch the show is Rishabh Bajaj and I sort of felt validated today lmfao đ This is what a good iconic and layered character looks like.
Okay,okay,so much to say but I have a flight to catch in a few hours so I'll be quick!
Two things : Rishabh is Shakespearean tragic hero. Not even close to be a villain. Purely Shakespearean tragic hero. He has a vulnerable flaw anybody can exploit. The way he rationalises his behavior and his limits,you would almost think it's psycho-social pathic but it's not. You see bursts of rage and charm manipulation but you also see a level of protectiveness too which is unlikely in a sociopath/psychopath case. In the end,he is willing to bet it all to remove the housefly(lol) cause that's the family he wants to protect. Its not purely about getting Prerna like Ex wants,its not a selfish ly driven motive. Its a family he desperately wants to keep,with all traces of EX gone. More than the person,he wants the bond. He wants the husband-wife bond,he wants the child-mother bond. He wants that perfect family he never had. And he wouldn't let any Bad Bad Basu even come close.
Secondly,this puts a timer on his character I feel. As with every Shakespearean tragedy he will have a fatal flaw and that will be his end. His mission is now for Anurag to decode. He wants Ex out,by hook or by Crook. Chances of discovery of his manipulative behaviour is more but we won't have that till Prerna falls in love. Nope! From this point onwards,Prerna will believe Rishabh over anyone else ( PLEASE BE CONSISTENT CVS) so he can do whatever but if Anurag ever brings it up with Prerna she will never not doubt him. Its such a masterful move. This gives Rishabh the upper hand to do whatever he wants to Anurag to get rid of him and Prerna would always be like 'meh just like last time ' But the truth will be out. Only difference is it will be out when Rishabh would least want it out. The house of cards has to fall.
The one thing that stuck me most is obviously Rishabh's past.
An abusive dad who had missions for him and punished him for not getting them right.
EXACTLY HOW HE PUNISHED HIMSELF FOR not successfully getting rid of Anurag by slapping himself just like his father would after he failed at something.
Bajaj is still not out of the clutches of his abusive father. His influence is what you can see everywhere. His father's treatment of his mother perhaps reminds him of Anurag not leaving Prerna alone,manhandling her,him and his family not respecting her enough. He wants her out of all that cause perhaps it is reminiscent of what he saw his father do to her. The actions may not be on the same lines,the context is. He does not leave her alone.
So Bajaj makes it a point to give her agency,to let her know she has to stand up for her herself once. She can talk to her about anything except about someone who isn't good to her acc to him,constantly breaks boundaries with her without a warning.
His behavior towards Prerna and Kookie is driven by the need to be different from his father. He won't let any harm come to them,be what may. He never had anyone to call his own so now that he has this family,nothing will stop him from being the perfect husband and father.
This also brings to light why he was so bothered about Prerna thinking that he wants to touch her inappropriately or that he was a creep and a murderer,a liar. Everything that reminded him of his father who is trying to not be. That's why it bothered him to that extent and he will do anything for his trust. Just don't call him something his father was. That's his limit.
THATS WHY WE SAW A COMPLETELY UNHINGED ANIMALISTIC SIDE TO HIM. He is NOT angry not just at ANURAG he is angry at his own father and it manifested everywhere. Like his father,Anurag wants to harm his family and a helpless 6 year old Rishabh couldn't do a thing but this man,with all the power and money and thick skin to take anything will do everything he can to keep his family intact. In Anurag,he sees the same threat now. Again and again,that man has tested his patience.
The small things like the way he was shaking and figgety and unlike himself was all that rage against his father coming up in bursts. Thats how personal this has gotten. He is unhinged because of that.
He wanted his father dead( quite possibly was responsible for it somehow,i feel.) for destroying his family and he wants Anurag dead for the same reason.
Its not personal because it's Anurag,its personal because of his father's abuse.
SPECIAL MENTION : Karan Singh Grover. Incredible. You constantly prove me right when I mention you as one of the best Indian TV has. The change in emotion while switching it on and off as the tangent went haywire and back. Wonderful! I loved it!
Phew! Please CVS. Whoever wrote Bajaj today,give me a raise and let them continue! This is the dark side we deserve!

Nice caption. Rakho rakho <3
I have watched todays bajaj scenes today so many times.
They are so compelling, everytime there is something new i discover.
uptill now bajaj was just there, quietly tolerating ex and his antics , but now ksg is coming in form as bajaj.
If you go to see, bajaj just wished the ex dead, he did not act on it.
It was just the way ksg acted it out with all his references of his father and mannerisms of ksg , that the scene was spellbinding.
He kind of hinted that his father always targeted rishabh
We are celebrating prematurely. Rishabh can be moloyâs son, maybe mr bajaj hated rishabh for the very same reason?
That will probably make bajaj more accepting of preâs baby.
When will our banner change? I wanna see KSG and AS
Thankyou Eshaâ¤ď¸â¤ď¸He was on fire today,honestly. I fell in love with his acting once again in the same monthâ¤ď¸The Multi-faceted Rishabh Bajaj !!!
My God....the varied expressions are to die for...!!
Mahi....brilliant !!đ
