I personally feel Namish got sidelined because of the actress playing Ragini. If she had not thrown tantrums and played quit quit, Namish would have got the proper treatment he deserves. Lucky had the scope of having more story and screen space. But owing to demands of being made positive, th actual person to have born the blunt of this was namish. He got sidelined.
Since Ragini turned positive. Focus turned to sisterhood story between the two and my Namish got sidelined. To glorify Ragini they degraded all character. Swara, Sanskaar and ofcourse my Lucky. In fact, they degraded Lucky too much to glorify Ragini who did so many kands. From Killing to kidnapping to Molestation etc etc etc. Never seen a more shameless women who could worse that her. And to make her appear bechari, they turned lucky into a rapist. So badly Lucky was bashed during Ragini Dadi property track.
Since SwaSan are more pupular and loved by all, makers did not dare to reduce their screen space or degrade the character too much.
The only person who was affected by the demands was poor Namish. They made him dumb, stupid and confused just to glorify Ragini and her new found mahanta. They even made him a criminal.
Infact, they made Lucky silly and stupid and Sanskaar a statue or busy doing something else so that Swaragini can solve all the problems and become mahan. Show Lucky make mistakes so that great Ragini can correct and make him understand.
Had Ragini not been turned, Namish would have gotten more SS and story. They would have showed his tadap for Swara. They would have shown him comming out of his obsession for Swara. Realizing and learning from his mistakes.
They could have shown Ragini realizing her mistakes and trying to correct them and Lucky first mistrusting her n then slowly realize she has changed n then start helping her. Then they could have become friends and finally Ragya could have in love. That would have given Namish n Tej the SS and proper story.
But that did not happen. Her demands of overnight positivity affected Lucky and Namish the most.
After the leap and his justified demands, they had given him a good track. But again to glorify Ragini and her unhealthy mental obsession for Lucky that they term Love, focus sited yo Ragini and again my poor Lucky was given a stupid reason for leaving his family and treating them so bad.
Always because of Ragini my poor Lucky got a bad deal.
