Sanskaar was given benefit of doubt that time cos he had pretty much no monologues & the way he was behaving was quite OOC so theories were pouring in so as to WHY is he behaving like that. I had made quite a few myself but when it was proved that Sanskaar wasn't planning anything, many turned against him, talked against him, namecalled him including me so I really dunno what double standards we are talking about. People will always have differing views & would also sometimes have preferences towards a particular character, that doesn't mean they are showing double standards, it simply means one relates more to the preferred character than the other & thus has more inclination towards him & tries to defend that preferred character over the other. Swara isn't being said to be playacting is because she has monologues & is pretty much clear in her belief that it's all maasi behind it & she's thinking that Sanskaar is obsessed with Kavita & genuinely believing it so why would people theorise over it? Double standards would be for example, Laksh fans blaming Sanskaar for his past deeds while Laksh has committed crimes in the past too. Every character gets bashed when they behave unreasonably so it's alright I guess.
I myself has more preference towards Sanskaar cos I relate to him more but I do love Swara equally & try to understand both of them. I bashed Sanskaar for the way he behaved in the past, infact I can vouch for this that many SwaSan fans were utterly disappointed with him & bashed him & now some are bashing Swara which is okay. We cannot club everyone together & cry double standards when there are also people there who understand Swara & support her. I do too, I was initially angry at Swara but then I saw the situation, where her mother just had an attack & the girl just snapped at Sanskaar in her own panic & fear. Later her heartfelt apology completely melted me & it was all good so don't think too much about this. Swara is really being pretty unreasonable in her doubts & she really needs to trust Sanskaar & understand the context in which Sanskaar keeps taking Kavita's name. The MU is plain stupid & so I can understand where the frustration on Swara is coming from. If Sanskaar is saying that he SAW Kavita with his own eyes then she should understand that he's not lying or hallucinating. Sanskaar isn't delusional thar he'd be imagining Kavita in a mandir where there's no one except for them two. If he says there's Kavita behind all this, she needs to trust him just like he does with regards to Maasi. Swara knows that Maasi was there with her in the house all the time when the attack on Shomi happened & Sanskaar showed her the broken doll with her face on it & the whole Kavita incident that happened at the same time so how can maasi be at two places in the same time? It's really high time that both SwaSan realise that it's a two player game & hatch a plan together to catch the culprit & prove themselves right cos both of them are actually aiming the right person but IDK what's stopping them from concluding that both could really be well together involved here.
No offence intended, just my POV.
