Neerja, Rohan cannot be a positive character in the true sense...he is a negative character with more of grey in him. But he does have the potential to switch and thats why I like his characterisation, complexity and find him interesting. He was Dev's closest friend since childhood..he did have his own selfish reasons but he did stand up for Dev when he felt that Dev was being bullied. When BB was fixing Dev's marriage with Chanda, it was Rohan who first protested...when Radhika's letter was found and Padma was abusing Dev in the worst possible way, it was Rohan who was initially refusing to believe her. He also loves Radhika but in his own way.
All the three purohit boys have a very convoluted sense of love ingrained in them from childhood...result of growing up in a dysfunctional family. So if they are made to realise that what they think is love is actually not love then depending on whether they want to change, they can change. In real world also many people who grow up in toxic families do adapt and change as far as possile...they learn to unlearn their toxic habits that they have picked up from childhood...but by change that does not mean that they loose the essense of what they are...so Rohan even if changed will always be grey but more towards the positve side but should not be completely positve...
but and I do have a very big but here, the change should only be shown after Rohan (and Virat) have been punished in front of society, they have repented for their sins and, have made ammends for their wrong actions.
But I hope this is for much later...I want to enjoy Dev and Rohan fighting...it makes the show more spicier...also Rohan as the main negative lead is more interesting for me than one dimensional Barkha.So if you mean by Rohan being positive will mean Barkha continuing as the main negative..then my answer is no I will not like that..glorifying of Barkha's character sucks out energy from this show. Also I don't want any forgivence for her.
