There have been multiple tracks in Nazar which left really bad taste in my mouth in the past. However, nothing can come closer to the disappointment that I felt while watching last week’s episodes.
I think majority of PiyAnsh fans have always dreamed of Ansh taking charge of the situation and showing Ved the mirror that how horribly hypocritical she is. Yet, this one track was demeaning in so many ways that even I couldn’t enjoy Ved’s insult and those who know me would realize how astonishing is that.
Can’t tell about other shows but particularly in Nazar, it seems both good and evil are overrated and rather than showing the complexity, they always use the old excuse of – Parivaar Ke Khatir.
Yes, Ansh did what he had to do to protect his family. But was the Jadoo Ke Toli named Chandravanshis really that powerful that he had to drink that Do Chand Ras with a sad BGM playing in the background making it look like he did the ultimate sacrifice? If you ask me, despite being super powerful, Ansh never ever learned to use it only in the fear of turning into the Davaansh his beloved Ved Mata is afraid of. So whenever disaster strikes,he takes the easy way out and it’s always justified in name of his helplessness.
Coming to Piya, she fought bravely with Ansh at the last moment. So who or what was preventing her from doing so in the first place? And the inconsistency in her character is just too much frustrating. You see your brother for the first time and the next moment you run to your husband and become completely occupied with him! Is that really love or pure selfishness? Yes, Ansh was under the DCR’s affect but the same thing was absorbed by her brother too. So shouldn't she be concerned about him too? Does loving her husband mean she doesn’t get to show any feeling or worry for anyone else? Is that what the makers really want to portray?
About the entire so called romantic sequence – I found it horribly demeaning. Ansh retained some feelings for Piya despite turning completely evil – that’s good. But all he did was to indirectly force Piya. And when Piya slept with him, it was to distract him. Then how come this is romantic? We bashed Dev left, right and center because he forced Piya to marry him. Everything that happened between Ansh and Piya, if another evil character was in Ansh’s place, would it still be termed as romantic? Just because they are husband and wife, the wrongdoing doesn’t change. It was a horrible message sent by the makers that as long as husband and wife are sleeping together, it's okay. Situation, consent - everything can go to hell!
Last but not the least, Mohana. Yes, on the surface it was a good plan as she wanted to turn Ansh against his family. But as a 250+ Ekayaan who has literally used all the tricks in her book and witnessed how Piya’s love has saved Ansh over and over again, making Ansh the King of all KSs just added to her long list of idiotic plans which only backfired.
And not to mention the ending – Mere Wajah Se Aap Logo Ko SabSehna Para! Please Ansh! Give me a break. If you choose to be a coward and bow down before anyone who enters into your household threatening your family members, of course you’ll lose control and hurt them. I honestly can’t remember if I have ever come across any character so spineless.
I used to love Ansh for being the good guy but being good doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be weak. God made us all with vices and virtues. We can’t separate one portion of ourselves and it’s foolishness to try to change ourselves for others. Ansh’s constant fear of his family’s approval and need to glorify Ved’s upbringing has ruined his character.
