Good analysis. Rishi isn't innocent though. That guy has a lot of scope. And next to Antara, he'd be used to break Rudra and MJ. Antara is key to all three here. Rishi is key to Rudra and MJ. Rudra and MJ are innately strong people while Rishi and Antara are not. I love how both the sons have both the qualities of the parents.
Possibly, but not sure that he will be used to break Mrityunjay and Rudra
Rudra - Antara's innocence (she isn't innocent in the truest sense but isn't vile either) and MJ's strength..
Rishi - Antara's weakness of character and MJ's cunningness.
Which individually seen amount to this -
Antara being weak and NOT vile is absolutely helpless. She neither has the motive nor the inclination to do something evil. But someone has to push her and corner her for her to act. Which is what she did today. She probably likes MJ, also Coz He represents strength and power. I doubt she's with him for money. The way she almost melted into him today, MJ knows she wants him and uses that for his benefit. Weak people have this tendency to seek approval from the powerful ones to falsely reassure themselves that they are worthy of that approval, and therefore aren't as weak and as hopeless as they believe themselves to be. They can also resort to drugs and such intoxicating substances to escape into an illusory world where they are the rulers and conquerors and the reality of their non-achievements doesn't come to attack them.
Antara is the perfect case for the above.
MJ - He's got strength as well as motive. His motive might be as flimsy as butter paper. However, he strongly believes in them. For him, knowing about his sons' whereabouts 24x7 is extremely crucial to him..therefore it becomes crucial by definition. Even though in general parlance, it may be silly and unnecessary concern. He's got strength, in a way that he believes everyone's below him, beneath him, he can use anything and everything to get what he wants, how he wants. He can also justify it the way he wants to. And he can supremely conquer the weak, like how he clearly bludgeoned Antara using her own weakness for him and her drugs.
That said, I do believe he loves his sons, however bad he might be.
Rishi has the potential to become another MJ, And that makes him powerful. Rudra doesn't have it in him to become MJ, Coz at His core, Rudra is still innocent and honest.
Interesting points made. Agree with it.๐๐ผ
