It would be a good twist to show that hriday had alternate motive but it shouldn't be the reason Aakesh killed him.
Aakesh's white spot was his obsessive love for Nageshwari. A villain could be completely darkened but they all have a back point. A point that turns them around which gives them a leverage as a character. Darth Vader was an amazing villain. Powerful, scheming and dangerous but his leverage point was his love for Padme. That made him a character rather than just a thing for hero to seem all goody two shoes. Voldemort generally gave zero damn about who lived and who died but he, in the battle of department of mysteries, grabbed Bellatrix before leaving. (Not adding romance to them. Voldemort isn't capable of that) He had a certain leverage as a character. He knew to gather his most powerful lieutanant. What turned him around from being a boy was what happened to his mother.
I want Aakesh to be as he is. I don't want to be shown that Aakesh killed Hriday to save Nageshwari because that is what I built the character on. His obsession would be capable of making him do the worst of things. He wasn't killed by Nageshwari, he simply let go off his life because she wanted to see him fall to his death. He was a cheel he could fly instantly but he didn't. I don't want that pagalpan to be justified. He was a villain back then and I want it to be that way. I also think that even Hriday wanted to hurt Nageshwari.
Very well said!👏
Also, I feel we are relating certain set of people from two completely different eras just because they are reincarnations! I feel Naageshwari, hriday and Aakesh are different entities than Bani, Jay and Veeranshu! Just because they have the same soul that does not make them the same person! A person's attitude and though process also depends on his/her upbringing and environment as much as on his/her birth! I feel out of the three, hriday is the most overpowering on jay. But maybe that was hriday. He truly loved naageshwari! But jay can be different than him! I don't want to connect jay's evilness with hriday or Veer's positives with Aakesh! We can call a spade a spade right? Aakesh was selfish enough to kill everyone in that naagmandir that day, just to fulfill his obessesive desire to obtain naageshwari, and he was ready to pay its price, which he paid! But Veer is a different person altogether! His past life deeds actually cannot define him. Even bani had said in one of the episodes that she killed Aakesh in satyug because he deserved it. But she doesn't feel Veer deserves to die in this yug. Veer's, this life deeds will decide whether he deserves to die or live, not Aakesh's wrong doings! So, it would actually be better if they don't justify jay's evilness or Veer's goodness! Its better if this remains the fact that Hriday loved naageshwari very much and Aakesh killed him just to obtain naageshwari forcefully!
