Shyam Manohar Jha/
The name of Deception
By: Mysticaldivine
A deception, betrayal, treachery, treason, and scam has a face like Shyam. Perfidy and dodgy character like him does exist in this society living among us with all the double cross game plans, hurting many, destroying many, and killing many by having blood in their hands.
We have many names for Shyam, like a snake, spidey, slimy, slither etc. He knew how to swindle and flimflam the opportunities in his favor and why not. He was a lawyer, after all. Dirty games and tricks were parts of his life. When we first met him, he seemed to be a decent, well-groomed, protected, well-mannered character but big-time deceiving. It was no coincidence that he bumped into Khushi Kumari Gupta in Lucknow. The question is, why was he there when Anjali was there? Arnav was cracking the biggest deal of his life, the biggest matter of his life, which changed his and Anjali's lives forever.
Was there a story of Shyam attached to all of this that we have no clue about?
Let's say he was there to watch the assets Arnav bought for his sister, but it doesn't fit my brain. It seems his side of the story is hidden and incomplete. Then he saves Khushi, and we know he was behind this goon's set-up. How?... later, Arnav says to Khushi that if Shyam never had seen her in Lukhnow or in that video of her falling in Arnav's arms, then he won't be behind her and Anjali's wedding would be safe...
Shyam didn't leave any chance for Khushi to stay in Lukhnow and ensured she came to Delhi or ended up elsewhere but Lukhnow. How do we know that? He follows Khushi, finds her alone in the temple, and gives her his card. Even he Finds Khushi in the Delhi market and his dialogues are top-notch. "Akhir ye Khsuhi express Delhi pohnch hi gaye..." ... "Inhain Delhi Lane ke liye kitte jatan kiye " to the [ Vegetables] vender...He was always in pursuit of Khsuhi. When she called him for the job, he found a spot in the AR warehouse, away from Arnav. He thought she hated him and had no idea how she and Arnav's relationship was developing behind his back. That was the beauty of IPK. 
Shyam manipulates Khushi's Buaji, becomes a paying guest, and plays her son's role very well. Shyam develops a friendship with Khushi and tries to woe her by all means. We found out that Shyam is actually married to Anjali...ASR's life.
From this point on, we see him as a two-timer. His first near escape was on his wedding anniversary when he saw Khushi and understood why she was there. The contract she got was his anniversary... the one he helped Khushi to make sweets for.
Khushi's family was unaware of Shyam's deception. When Shyam's efforts to impress Khushi become futile, he tries to impress Buaji so that she thinks of him as an eligible groom for Khushi. Khushi's father always has negative thoughts about Shyam, and after Buaji's constant pushing him to say yes to Shyam, Shashi ji becomes more suspicious of Shyam. He followed him around to learn more about him. When he discovers the truth, Shyam brings him to a heart attack almost... Shashi became paralysed and couldn't speak as well... Shyam uses this as an opportunity to force Khushi to say yes to their marriage. He became successful and had an engagement, but he got trapped in another web.
Payal and Akash's wedding. What on earth? He never thought of that, but no matter how much he ran away, Khushi finally found the connection between Rani Sahiba and Shyam; he was her husband...
His first slap towards reality and fears caught up in his neck. What will happen if Raizadas finds out and here, he plays chisel schemes and has mind games with the Gupta family over Payal's wedding. He puts his head down until he makes sure that Gupta family won't disclose his identity. His true colors come out again on Sangeet night when he tortures Khushi...and from that point on, he tries to kill Anjali to get Khushi back.
Something for Shyam's lover here. A point comes while watching Payesh wedding that makes me bored, seeing no change in Shyam's actions and character. The same thing was on over and over. Killing Anjali mission.
Ah, the snake was in the line, welcoming Khushi NK and ASR to the doorstep.
Such a stupid he was. He wanted the money and the honey. The true colors of his deceitful actions and words were at their peak, and there was no difference in between him and that scorpion he brought to kill Anjali. I so wished Anjali had never removed it from his back.
His first slap was seeing Arnav and Khushi and their mutual interest during that night. That was a shocking moment, and after seeing them dancing together, he lost his cool. Even when NK mentioned how beautiful Arnav and Khushi looked together on stage, he completely lost his mind and yelled at him.
Unfortunately, Arnav misunderstands Khushi after seeing her in Shyam's arms on the terrace. He thinks that Khushi and Shyam are having an affair and decides to marry Khushi to save his sister's marriage. Khushi tries her best to prove her loyalty, but once again, Shyam makes Arnav think that Khushi is with him, not with Arnav, and things go in his favor. But it wasn't like that at all. Now Khushi was Arnav's wife who was her protector no matter what...Even Arnav discloses his reasons for marrying Khushi, and she tries to tell him all about Shyam, Arnav doesn't believe it and flies to London...
Arnav finally finds out that Shyam is that snake who kidnapped Arnav and held him captive for months from Khushi and NK's revelations. This time Arnav gives him a true tight slap for deceiving his sister first and then for disrespecting his wife.
Well deserved!
Shyam used Anjali and this pregnancy to be in Shantivan as always. Whenever there was any discussion to have your own place to take Anjali with him, he created such situations that Anjali had to be in Raizada Mansion. The family's overprotective nature towards Anjali always went in his favor.
Of course, Shyam Manohar Jha would never accept defeat so quickly even after being thrown out of Shantivan. Shyam uses Anjali's pregnancy as an excuse to regain entry into the Raizada house but this time through Dadi. But this time Anjali faced a more significant loss with the family. Her child...
Shyam Manohar Jha killed his own unborn child. He was a bloody murderer.
The recreancy of his character comes out in the light when he reaches the hospital to play a sympathy card. His child was dead because he was not there with Anjali. Arnav punched the crap out of him but Anjali's stubbornness and Shyam's games played a big role in making him back in the Mansion. This time Khushi went against Arnav to bring him back for Anjali.
After re-entering the Raizada Mansion, he instigates Dadiji to break up Arnav and Khushi for good. Here the past of Khsuhi, her Amma's relationship with Arnav's dad, played a role... Shyam was a true imposter in bringing out this case to the light.
But after all this, Arnav and Khushi overcame every hurdle and married. Dadli left them again as she did fourteen years ago.
Seeing Anjali's deep faith in Shyam, Khushi and Arnav make other plans to bring his true colors in front of Anjali.Arnav, Khushi and NK finally reveal Shyam's horrific atrocities to Anjali... After discovering he was behind her child's death, she slaps him and vows never to see his face again.
Finally, Shyam was out of the picture, and everyone in the Raizada and Gupta families could live their lives peacefully. What a strong, iconic, and hateful villain we had...Hats off to Abhas Mehta for making us hate him as Shyam. He won the Best Villain award for this character.
. The way Shyam manipulated everyone around him was a new and totally different concept twelve years ago. Mostly Vamps had such characters and in different ways.... This guy had his rich wife wrapped around his finger to do whatever in his life! Not only that, he even had Naniji, Mamiji, Buaji and later Dadiji entirely under his control. Also, how he emotionally tortured Khushi and messed up her character and life, developing a relationship with cunning Arnav, makes him especially devious. Arnav couldn't figure him out at all... Anjali's blind faith made him resourceful, too.
He was a cupid in Arshi's case, and we love our spidey, snake, slimy slithery Shyam...Well, Done!.
