First of all good character analysis.
In the telly world turning a character from positive to negative and back from negative to positive all depends on TRP. Regarding Sanskar's character, he has the potential to emote layered characterization. So there for e the creatives may stay him grey. I said may' as of at this point of the story there is no point in showing him negative.
But before arriving at any conclusion, would like to review some points regarding Sanskar's character and the buildups.
Who is Sanskar? What was his character in this show?
Was he always a villan?
As we all know the answer is a big NO.
Sanskar is the eldest(After Adarsh) among the younger generation of the Maheshwari family. A beloved brother and a best friend of Laksh. He seems to be once the jaan of the Maheshwarian's and the ideal son , who is the least least expected to go against the family's interests. May be DP even saw the future of Maheswari family in Sanskaar than with Laksh.
Laksh on the other side was the youngest and the then spoilt brat of the Maheswari family, who is least expected to do good for the family. There were many people including Sanskar to hide Laksh's misdeeds and many of his mistakes were ignored with an atmost possible warning. But the slightest of the slightest mistakes of Sanskar was unforgivable as he is the least expected to go derailed'(in DP's POV).
Why he turned negative? What was his revenge?
Sanskaar, unlike other sacrificial goats, he was one believed in standing for your love against every odds. His family was dearest to him, but Kavitha was greater that his life. So the mere thought of his family being responsible for her death gave birth to the idea of revenge in him. And all that he wanted was Laksh paying back for what he had done to Sanskar(from Sanskar's POV).
The two people who had influence in him; his mother, Sujatha who is against the Maheswarians, being one among them( may be she wants a badwara rather than living under the shade of DP) and his dupattewali dosth Ragini, who was then confused of choosing between suicide and murder; all made use of his revengeful attitude, for which they could have instead make him understand of the probable circumstances and help him in finding Kavitha's murderer. It was Swara who took their position and made him rethink of the whole situation. At the end, though not intended anymore, his once reason for revenge has been accomplished when Lakshya is trapped in a loveless relationship for the rest of his life.
Is Sanskar still negative? Are his changing expressions at times, getting drunk and setting fire to the tent its signs?
Ok, as of now we all are aware that Sanskar, subconsciously is in love with Swara. If this is true, then all his actions including his expression change at times are may be happening while his subconscious is triggered by certain events like;
-> Mentioning of Swarya relationship.
->The fact that Laksh is still in love with Swara.
->Someone insulting Swara.
->Someone questioning their relationship.
->Someone mentioning him paraya' to her.
->The mere thought of Swara leaving him.
If so, then why is he drunk? Is he really drunk? Have we ever seen him drunk before?
Sanskar as portrayed in the story is not a drunkard nor he is a person who finds solace in alcohol in the midst of problems. If he is really drunk then, the very reason leads to another question that
What would have happened after his impulsive act of attacking Ragini at her mayka for insulting Swara?
Ragini insulted Swara, mentioned her najaayiz, questioned their relationship and above all reasoned with what if Sanskar leaves Swara? And that was what agitated him..and he came into action. He might have thought at first how would her words have affected Swara and what would be its effect?
Ofcourse Swara's mother and deeda is concerned of her future and definitely decides to put an end to the whole game. If so, then what could be the next step? Swara leaving him? For unknown reasons this thought of Swara leaving him at the end has always irritated him. After all they united for a reason and there is no point in staying together if the reason itself doesn't exist. And the third thought will be a big WHY? Seeking the root of the above questions. Why is he so defensive about her? Why is he so disturbed of the thought of Swara leaving him? This would be the greatest turmoil of his life in addition to the realization that he is letting Kavitha go off his memories and all these might have made him lose his control of mind. After getting drunk, his subconscious might have surfaced, the drunk Sanskar with the fear of losing Swara when saw the tent might have felt like the tent is useless anymore if Swara is leaving him. The tent is filled with their memories together (not romantic though) and the alcohol in him suppresses any analytic thoughts in him and on such a situation when he saw Swara , he just blurted out his innerside.
Coming to the question 'Is something wrong with Sanskar?'
Unless there is any TRP twist in store for us, Sanskar is in the process of realising his love for Swara,
At the same time the creatives have left the space for them to make Sanskar negative if they want but that will be an injustice to the credibility of the character.
