I recently started watching this show and finished all the episodes in one day, baring I did pretty much fast forwarded all episodes except the first five.
I have to say, I don’t know whether I am misreading Angad’s character or if the writers themselves are inconsistent, but Angad comes off as a hypocrite to me.
In the first episode, he is seen telling his staff to not say sorry when they are doing their job properly. However, even after Sahiba did such a unique and creative design that won the hearts of both darji and beji, instead of complimenting her or even silently admiring her work, he taunted her along with his other family members and insulted her work saying it’s just “theek-thak” even though she managed to make such a beautiful design in such a short span of time. In fact, he even had the audacity to insult her more when she stood up for herself.
And then, when talking with Sirat during the function, he says that he likes hard-working and ambitious women. Well, Sahiba operates her own shop and her hard work is shown in all her artworks. I don’t expect him to shower love at her, but atleast a little respect is expected right if he claims to like women who are hard-working and ambitious. However, he is constantly insulting her and even letting his cousin sister insult Sahiba’s social status. I mean, is his respect only limited to rich women who are hard-working? What about the thousands of other poor and middle-class women who work day and night trying to make ends meet for their family? Do they not deserve any respect from him? He appears very classist imo.
Also, I don’t understand his dislike towards Sahiba. The only reason he is mad at her is because she doesn’t submissively take his shit like his other staff. He gave her money twice, both times she refused, which shows that she is not greedy. And he created a whole scene during the function for no reason. Like where does his dislike towards her stem from?
I don’t know if the writer's are intentional in their portrayal of Angad or not, but currently, he is very unlikeable. It’s one thing having a soft spot for your family, and whole another if you have double standards. I am already seeing hints of Virat in him from Ghum. I hope the writers salvage his character before he turns out to be a complete douche.
