Nice post.
Every character in this show has layers upon layers and as you peel them away you don't get to the core, you just get a better insight into that character.
Up till last week Narottam was a wronged, innocent man whose jealousy and rage led him to do everything.
But this week was a game changer. Narottam has come out to be a mastermind working for a mastermind. He is that silent killer, the one who holds a knife behind his back waiting to strike at the right time. And what makes it even more deadly is that he's been taught all that by his own mother. Just imagine. A mother sharpened her son into a weapon to exact her revenge. She has no motherly feelings, no love, no care, no affection, nothing. She's a psychotic soul with an appetite for vengeance and a weird obsession with the colour red.
Narottam has grown up in an environment where he's been hated, cursed, beaten, and ignored. He's grown up knowing a real mother like Sudha and a stepmother like Satrupa. The former has used him and sharpened him into a weapon and the latter has cemented his anger and frustrations.
After such an upbringing, the only way he will ever know love is if someone pure, innocent, and with open intentions shows him what love really is and makes him feel what love really is. In this situation, I'm finally understanding why the Adhiraj-Anami love story is necessary and why it's being forced upon us. Because theirs will not be the typical love story with sacrifices and mistrusts and proving oneself pure. It will be a love above that. One that allows the other to fly freely and doesn't tie them down. One that allows the other to grow. One that stands up to the twists and turns of time and Lal Mahal.
And at the same time, his bond with Anami will slowly grow stronger and will no longer be out of the demand of revenge or haq. It will be one that will stand through Sudha's every move, through every twist and test that can be thrown at them. That bond will make Narottam realize who Sudha really is and how he has been used by her for her pleasure.
Slowly Anami will change the Lal Mahal members as well as they all grow a bond with her and maybe, just maybe, they will understand how they have wronged Narottam and finally put that all to peace.
Only after the above can Narottam truly understand what love is. But if any of these doesn't happen then Narottam may never realize what love is, what sacrifice is, what a true relation is, what a true bond is. He'll forever be misguided and misused by all around him until he finally breaks or becomes a useless weapon.
