The return of the prodigal vamp 😛
While NT was gone, things took a turn she did not expect in her wildest dreams. The one man that she feared ' her brother-in-law, Maan, fell deeply in love with Geet and accepted her in spite of her pregnancy. However, Dev screwed things up by telling Geet he was related to Maan on the eve of the engagement and Geet ran away. Maan left for some quiet time and so when Geet came to her senses and came back, she was greeted by NT who came back hearing about the engagement. NT poisoned daadima's mind against Geet and did not allow her back into the house. In her absence, Dev had become close to his college friend, Meera and NT left no stone unturned to insult the poor girl. Geet confronted Dev and NT in front of her office mates and everyone came to know of her tale. While Maan lay injured, NT went to KC and attempted to take over the business after telling daadi she would hold fort. But in spite of all of NT's attempts to stop her, Geet met Maan and in due time told him about everything. Maan handed over NT and Dev to the cops.
This time NT manipulated daadima by accusing her of always favoring Maan and daadima fell into the trap requesting Maan to bail out Dev so that she could talk to him. This created a major misunderstanding between Maaneet but NT was in prison and unable to take advantage of it. But she falsified documents and bailed herself and her useless husband out. Once out she came to KC to try and harm Geet, but Maan and Geet had made up by then and Maan started protecting Geet. NT had used the power of attorney Dev gave her to transfer his shares into her name and used this to become part of the office management and infiltrate the security to get close to Geet. She took Sasha into her confidence. She also convinced one of her friends to help her hurt Geet by telling her only parts of the story. The friend, Sweety, entered the office and tried keeping Maaneet apart by constantly being with Geet, but Maan still found ways for them to spend time together. Sweety had no idea that NT was using her and would try to kill Geet. She thought NT was a sweet friend who needed help.
NT used her friend Sweety to get Geet into a store room where she made a first attempt on Geet's life by getting a chandelier to crash down but Maan saved Geet. NT made another attempt to push Geet from the 2nd floor (1st floor in Indian terminology) after she got Sasha to take Maan away and manipulated Sweety into sending Geet upstairs. When she realizezd people were watching and could see her maniacal glee, NT pretended like she was trying to save her but let her go. Maan saved Geet and when NT insulted Geet, Maan ended up filling Geet's maang and accepting her as his wife. He also told NT in no uncertain terms that Geet was now his wife and any attack on her would be considered an attack on him. The whole turn of events left NT stunned.
After the duo left everyone turned to NT with accusing stares and NT tried to use the situation to her advantage. One thing became very clear as she tried to justify herself - she believed she was a victim and had done nothing wrong. As a result of that she felt no guilt and had nothign to repent for. For the first time NT tried to explain herself, not because she cared what the office staff thought but because she wanted her friend to believe her - someone whose opinion mattered to her was judging her and this warranted a defense of her actions. Notice everyone takes on Geet but no one dares say anything to NT because of the touch-me-not attitude she has around her. Unfortunately for NT, her friend had seen her true colors and called her on it. NT broke down and cried for the first time revealing the pain that she carried deep within herself ' the pain of being barren and unable to have a child and how she hated Geet because she was carrying her husband's child. Sweety told NT that she was disgusted with her and was ashamed to call her a friend. NT turned to Sasha and hoped she would understand her, but everyone was shocked and appalled by her actions and left her alone.
Desperate and alone, NT concocted a new plan. She pretended to commit suicide in Dev's presence and then blackmailed him saying that if he did not come back to her she would tell the police that the Khurana family forced her to take this step. Dev agreed to go back but then NT made another grave miscalculation. Giddy with the triumph of having gotten her husband back, she taunted Meera about her relationship with a much married Dev. But that backfired big time, when Dev found out about this he decided to divorce NT. Desperate NT called daadi hoping she would intervene and talk sense into Dev, instead Daadi refused to help and Maan warned her to stay away from the family. Fortunately for NT her brother Arjun landed in India. So now NT has a new pawn to use against the Khuranas. Arjun is not Maan-Geet's wedding planner and is planning to disrupt the wedding. On the side he is also planning on making NE fall in love with him and use him. But Arjun already is developing a soft corner for Geet and for NE and telling NT that these people are not as bad. So the story remains poised at an interesting crossroad.
Finally to sum up the characteristics of NT in one word - she is a psychopath.
See reference below (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy)
The prototypical psychopath has deficits or deviances in several areas: interpersonal relationships, emotion, and self-control. Psychopaths gain satisfaction through antisocial behavior, and do not experience shame, guilt, or remorse for their actions.
[12][13][14] Psychopaths lack a sense of guilt or remorse for any harm they may have caused others, instead rationalizing the behavior, blaming someone else, or denying it outright.
[15] Psychopaths also lack empathy towards others in general, resulting in tactlessness, insensitivity, and contemptuousness. All of this belies their tendency to make a likable first impression; psychopaths have a superficial charm about them, enabled by a willingness to say anything without concern for accuracy or truth. Shallow affect also describes the psychopath's tendency for genuine emotion to be short-lived and egocentric, with an overall cold demeanor. Their behavior is impulsive and irresponsible, often failing to keep a job or defaulting on debts.
[15] Psychopaths also have a markedly distorted sense of the potential consequences of their actions, not only for others, but also for themselves. They do not deeply recognize the risk of being caught, disbelieved or injured as a result of their behaviour.
[16] Researcher Robert Hare, whose Hare Psychopathy Checklist is widely used, describes psychopaths as "intraspecies predators".[17] Also R.I. Simon uses the word predator to describe psychopaths.[18] Elsewhere Hare and others write that psychopaths "use charisma, manipulation, intimidation, sexual intercourse and violence"[19][20][21][verification needed] to control others and to satisfy their own needs. Hare states that: "Lacking in conscience and empathy, they take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expectations without guilt or remorse".[22] He previously stated that: "What is missing, in other words, are the very qualities that allow a human being to live in social harmony".[23]
According to Hare, many psychopaths are superficially charming, and can excellently mimic normal human emotion;[9] some psychopaths can blend in, undetected, in a variety of surroundings, including corporate environments.[24]
The write-up was done by me with pointers from Arpita. The words are all mine and so is the order of thoughts. So any criticism should be directed to me and me alone. So looking at it from that angle, if you like the post congratulate only me haan 😉.....don't tell Arps I told you this....she will kill me 🤣 🤣
