Baldev

I have wondering for a while now what has he done that Vikram considers him unfit to lead Royal Steel?? I don't think the issue is his competence but the fact that if he inherited Royal Steel, he'll have the power to pass it over to anybody he wishes to. Narottam will possibly become legitimate as a front runner for inheriting the family fortune, that is what Vikram cannot allow. Also, like his father pointed out, Baldev is tied by blood to Royal Steel. So, even if he despises his father for the will that disowned him and put his child with Satrupa as an heir, he cannot let it all slip out of his hands. I don't like him. But I do feel his pain whenever he recalls his moments with his son. Which makes me wonder, How will he react to Anami. Yes, she is his daughter. But she is Satrupa's mirror image in terms of personality and stronger in terms of will. Will he be able to connect to her?

I have a feeling its all because of his relationship with Sudha who might have been a courtesan in her early days. Narottam is a product of this benaam and badnaam rishta.

Baldev's father is old-school and was definitely against it.

Baldev might have been forced to marry Satrupa, probably again as a business deal or due to Satrupa's royal lineage or something.

Anami's entry in Lal Mahal might worsen Baldev-Satrupa relationship even further bcoz for the last 17 years he dint even know that he is the father of a daughter too n Satrupa is to be blamed for that absolutely!!

I think Satrupa had a hand in Baldev being disinherited in favour of his children with Satrupa. It may have been a condition laid down by either Satrupa or her family for the marriage to happen and to ensure that Narottam would never inherit. I wonder though at Satrupa's intense hatred for Narottam especially if the affair was before her marriage. I understand Baldev's dislike of Narottam even less, I hope he doesn't blame Narottam for the way his life turned out.

Ok one more thing...since Sudha is the main antagonist...will she end up in Lal Mahal? and if so how...will it be one of the demands made by Baldev against signing off on the adoption papers?

@Jaya100...yes Satrupa might have made that deal during marriage to Baldev.

I think Sat has brought a lot to the Lal Mahal and Royal Steel coffers, in terms of her own inheritance from her family's side during their marriage alliance. That could also be the reason Guruji is pushing her to ensure it stays with her kids and not Narottam, or others.

The makers have surprised me with Baldev. Too many Indian soaps have left me thinking that male characters especially father figures are mostly furniture pieces but Baldev is definitely not that. He seems to be a strong, llonely and somewhat resentful man burdened by protocol. Can't wait for his backstory to unfold.

It seems Baldev does not share any love for Satrupa, it was Vatsalya who bound them together and now his gone, that rishta is.

Sudha is differently Baldev old lover, you can see the madness, the happiness of Vatasala, a women scorned. I think thier child is Narottam. You would think that the Dad would have accepted this sons love ect..., but I think Lal Mahal inheritance law caused the divide that the Dad had no choice to disinherit Baldev for his betrayal. The only reason why I think Satrupa has hatred for Narottam is if Baldev and Satrupa were engaged to be married. However Baldev had an affair with Satrupa. Therefore, Narottam is the constant reminder of Baldev Betrayal.

However I think, maybe Pujan has a hand in this, he would have grown up with Baldev and this is the guy who would have been planning for years to get Lal Mahal.

But whatever the case is, there has been too many shows that started of great and became of load of illogical crap later on...hopefully Rishton Ka Chakravyuh can escape this fate.

I agree to not being fond of him much but the thing about Baldev is he's full of surprises with his reactions. It has become intriguing just to see how will Baldev react to this or that. Baldev's character is almost moody and I have a feeling circumstances has turned him into the man that he is. You'll think he'll agree to his father because he's been put under control by his father. But no sir, he outrightly asked why the hell it's been expected from him to give his support when he's been kicked out of the will. See now? I am not sure how much longer can one stay not fond of him (including me!) He's good. He's cool. He's surprises!

@bold: i thought Pujan Singh is the main antagonist??

No doubt Sudha is a super creepy n multi-faceted character but Pujan Singh has already murdered innocent people for power...an innocent Vatsalya who is his relative too!!

Or is it that both Sudha n Pujan are on equal footing in terms of antagonism??

Wikipedia states Sudha as main antagonist. I kind of consider Pujan to be an evil Joker of sorts! So Anami really has an army of evil doers to handle. (Pujan, Sudha, Narottam...etc)

I think we all are taking Baldev lightly, he is quiet ferocious and will do anything to get his way. He is no puppet of Satrupa. The way he asked his henchman to get Satrupa back was chilling. Yaad rakho tum is Ghar ki bahu nahi hamari zarurat la Rahe ho. He did not address her as his wife , nor was he worried about how she will be treated . He might turn to be a game changer later.
