Hi new blood in the forum! So first question, have you guys been following from the beginning? If you did then I'm sure you'll see what I'm talking about. Lakshya has never been a bad boy completely. Yes he liked to experience life and do masti, yes he was attached to his lifestyle and yes he was scared of his father. None of which, atleast according to me, are bad qualities. Let me first start with pointing out that he was never a total bad boy- exhibit A (😆) when he threw color at swara whilst she was crying, he thought he made her cry and his teasing immediately halted and he became sympathetic and offered her water and tried to calm her down. that was long before they became even 'not enemies'.
the second thing, i don't think it requires any explanation- he wasn't an alcoholic or a serial womanizer chancing an STD so i think, again personal opinion, itna toh chalta hain. and theres also nothing wrong with hiding it from your family if they're so orthodox about the smallest things. it'll end up hurting you and your family. is it a double life? hell ya but idk of many teens who haven't hidden something from their parents. and as a youngster barely out of college would you want to be kicked out of your house for going to a friend's party at night? no! I'm not condoning him "leading a double life" but honestly i can see where he's coming from. I think Swara still doesn't really understand that she's very lucky to have had a supporting family who didn't have an objection with everything she did, who gave her space to run free as long as she didn't cross her limits. But laksh didn't grow up with that privilege, everything any normal kid in laksh's social circle did would seem like a blasphemy to DP, he saw the reflection of that in his brothers' lives, so he took the smart way out, not necessarily the cowardly way- if he can live his life and keep his family happy then why not?
Now coming to his attachment to his comforts and his fear of his dad, ya he was and theres nothing wrong with that. But his attachment was never at the cost of what he believed was right. he feared his father but that didn't stop him from asking his mother for help regarding the first ragini sagaai- he didn't want to marry someone like her and ruin her life. he recognized, perhaps better than anyone else, that he needed someone who can laugh with him, take care of his family but still put him in his place when needed and that wasn't ragini's personality. he kept his vision infront of his mother with a clarity, frankness and honesty that is very rare in indian tv serials, and promptly got kicked out for that by DP. That was before he considered Swara with anything but dislike. Frankly speaking, Swara was only one trigger of many that made Laksh walk out of DP's chaaya. She was the last drop of water needed to break the vessel thats been bursting at the seams for ages. She never encouraged him to revolt, they were just starting to be friends at that stage, he did it all on his own.
I say the aforementioned to kind of put my view forward i guess, i don't think Laksh made 'many mistakes', yes maybe in his family's point of view. but in reality he's a pretty balanced kid. he likes to have fun and party but he also has strong family values. he doesn't do anything too extreme and if he makes a very grave mistake, he immediately feels guilty and tries to fix it. i think we've been shown countless examples of that. he's also incapable of hiding his mistakes, especially to the people he cares about the most- his brother mother and swara. he does a word vomit. he can't rest till he's said the truth. even with DP, his tolerance for crap broke a lot quicker than rest of the family's. and given how laksh and his brother support each other, i REALLY doubt he ratted snacker out. Now coming to his stupid impulsive decision and love for snacker- yes he does make really impulsive decisions but he also has the strength to admit them and correct them, he doesn't really let others take the fall for him. and whether it was a good or a bad thing to do, if he didn't send that video and then helped them out horrified by his father's resulting action, swaragini wouldn't have a complete set of parents. If he did do anything that led to snacker's life being destroyed, i doubt he did that intentionally or was even aware of that. he wouldnt let snacker take the fall for something he did if he was aware of it. i think to think that would be a pretty gross underestimation of the pretty great character the cvs had created (usually these bad boy characters are so extremely cliche and extreme that its laughable but i think Lucky was pretty balanced). he was always a good guy, swara didn't convert him as happens in every other serial. and as for his love for snacker- it was clear from the beginning, he considered the guy his idol and best friend on top of being his brother. i think not only laksh but also annapurna is extremely attached to snacker. he doesn't love him out of guilty conscience. But all said and done i do think laksh was unknowingly involved in a grand design of confusions that led to snackers downfall and its all probs just a huge misunderstanding. but if they show that he's mad that laksh didn't speak up, then i'll be seriously annoyed because guess what mr snacker, your 40+ parents didn't speak up against DP what was teen laksh suppose to do. but i don't think they'll show that. But i really doubt that this is all anything more than a misunderstanding.
having said all this, i must confess I'm not into lakshya at all for the past two weeks cos he's become a wet sponge after having fallen in love and thats exactly what happens to every guy in every serial after they fall for the self-righteous heroine. he's quickly becoming shekhar from 20 years back and i hope they back step with that. I loved lucky the character from the beginning till dadi tamasha cos it was wonderfully young and refreshing. i ship swarya cos i loved their easy going chemistry and how relatable they were and how wonderful the pace of their development was. but in trying to create all this high voltage drama their moving too far away from the fresh simplicity of this story, which i find to be unfortunate.
PS: SNACKER IS SANSKAAR. AUTOCORRECT KEEPS ON 'CORRECTING' IT AND I GET SUPER TIRED OF FIXING IT SO I LEAVE IT BE.
