Sahiba ko log doormat bolte hain, they criticize her when she goes overboard or when she takes too much crap. Even Garry fans like his swag but they are aware he is a negative character. But Angad bhakts ko uski tarah hi kuchh samajh nahin aata.
It's not people's fault that Angad has been written badly as a ML and hence received hate. If he was not regressive, chauvanistic and patriarchal, he would have had people rooting for him. Anuj Kapadia is an example. Angad's positives are overshadowed by inconsistencies and fundamental flaws. VJ is a saving grace for Angad but only to an extent. Ab toh I have started feeling Angad's dumbness is perhaps his most convincing trait. Baaki sab aspects mein he is shown as a pendulum that makes his character weak.
I am glad he did not grow as a character from what he was during the reception episode. Always was and will remain a man with animalistic mindset.
And Sahiba's whole life revolves around moping for this man who unapologetically abuses her so there is nothing to write home about her character either. They don't show her painting once. At least this week they showed her uplifting Veer and caring about Keerat so something. She isn't fully ignoring the people who are unconditionally kind to her to uplift the ones who abuse her, so that is something I guess.
