Shyam Manohar Jha
A name of deception, here you go. You said it all.
His face was hidden as a con artist as the faceless villain, requires only a look under the mask to understand everything.A situation where a Story Arc contains a Big Bad whose identity is not known until much later and even later you don't see everything because we have to leverage hero and a villain.As far as I can see, in the beginning Shyam seems like a hero of Khushi who was nice to her and her family until Khushi's father found his identity, a true face and here the problem starts.
There are rules to create a powerful Antagonist, give him/her a powerful objective, make him/her more powerful than protagonist and equip the villain with an unforgettable look. At the same time a strong villain wants power, wealth, and revenge.I think we have all these in Shyam.
Shyam had no redeeming qualities. He was evil, sneaky, cowardly, egotistically, clever, crazy, callous, and hypocritical.His wicked character enacted evil actions to harm others and nothing much. Even he did the same after Khushi declared her love for Arnav to him. Even then he was saying I love you so much Khushi. God dammit!
Now why the creators didn't explore him? Well, I think the way he was displayed as a villain, no one wanted any sympathy cards on the table for him. A freeloader like him had to be at the pedestal with barnacle. leech. moocher and parasite.That all could vanish by bringing his past story, at least Ithis what think.
Now what was he doing in Lukhnow? Hmm, maybe he was from there? or Maybe he was ready to harm Arnav then as well to get all of his wealth. He did it later too and when he saw Khushi his mind took over for this beauty and he wanted her for himself rather than anyone else. That became his priority at the moment. There could be million speculations we can have.
A beautiful post and a memory lane.👏
