Kabir- Nope I don't agree that this classic manipulator ever loved Ridzi. Betrayal is one thing but killing is extreme.Shooting your lover with a Sniper Rifle can't be called a form of Twisted Love. She was nothing more than a pawn for him to usurp the VR Mansion.Even he gave her those electric shocks right after unravelling his whole meticulous scheme.Thankfully he failed due to the smart tactics of his own apprentice Ridzi.
I am not justifying Kabir's love. I am saying we cannot entirely dismiss his feelings. at one point he did have feelings for her.
Why is it that people say vansh and kabir's love(though cannot be compared) is fake when they go against riddhima but riddhima's love is selfless even after she conspires with a police officer to get her husband arrested. I know the answer too - intentions.. but for me if riddhima is wrong then vansh is also wrong, if she is right vansh is also right.
Ridzi-Quite a smart and independent girl but is too much emotional and believes in the power of Love.Betrayed both by the KAVA brothers her only hope in life is the love from her current mate VRS.Her fault lies in putting blinkers on her eyes inspite of noticing the obvious signs of betrayal.She now believes that even if Kabir had not sent her into the Lion's Den both she and Vansh were fated to become star-crossed Lovers such is her strong belief in VRS now.Also her nature of hiding things or pains she has experienced from her tormentors has led her to this predicament today.
Riddhima believes in the power of love. Yes and that does not make her weak. Love an emotion that is strong and dangerous. She can be little foolish i agree not getting what is right in front of her because she thinks always from her heart. But i have always said the problem with her is that she does not know when to think from het mind. When she does she would be the ultimate queen
She believes that she and vansh are fated to be with each other not because of her belief in vansh but her belief in destiny. In the fiest episode itself her first line was about destiny and the great wonders of it "zindagi naam hi surprises ka hai..hum kuch plan karrahe hote hai aur Zindagi kuch aur".
VRS-The enigma The King The Mafia.Only God or the CV's know what goes on within his twisted Brain.One time he acts as if he's the Ultimate Player other times he's just being dumb to the obvious plots around him.
I still believe that this guy knows more than he reveals.His extreme Love or Hate even if sincere still looks like an illusion.I am unable to pinpoint out the same but it's pretty clear that he's playing a dangerous game within the Mansion. It's not that simple as it looks.
I actually knew from the beginning that vansh did not know anything. People still wonder what angre told him after he visited her hostel. I feel ot was nothing. Kabir removed all evidences of his involvement with her. The muted convo was just to increase the anticipation of fans.
Also when he told anupriya when ridz first came in to his house that he knows everything about her was pure bluff. He knee nothing. He was just threatening her so that she makes some mistake.
And most importantly if he knew everything,none of the tracks make sense, vihaan doesn't make sense, him falling in love doesn't make sense and especially this betrayal track doesn't make sense.
If Vansh is not like Deep why did he hire Ahana to undertake dangerous attacks on his Queen Ridzi-the one he claimed to love more than his life as if she was his own shadow.He never confessed his deepest feelings to her before which he did after his return as Vihaan in that Glass Greenhouse.
Vansh himself doesn't know what does he want-the hallmark of a true Sociopath.He demands extreme loyalty and commitment from others but has given pain to only one person that is his lover Ridzi.Anu and Kabir escaped unhurt huh.
Vansh demands loyalty and he had given it to riddhima too. He gave pain only after she betrayed him.
His revenge on anu obviously doesn't make sense. But i think she ll come back.
If Ridzi was such a traitor why would she take bullets for him not once but twice? Save his property and bury him from the old Crime and Ragini cases. Yes he doesn't know these things or he doesn't want to know bcoz he already knows it.
I have already mentioned this in my previous posts. Vansh doesnot want to know anything that would make him weak. He has closed all of his doors for her. People can she he is dumb because they always consider him a mastermind. But the current vansh is not a mastermind. He is wearing that betrayal in hs sleeves. He doesn't want to forget it. He wants himself to be reminded of that betrayal so that he doesn't make the same mistake again.
It's quite astounding to expect that he never had eyes and ears within the Mansion or Ridzi being a Spy came out of the blue for him.
Vansh knew that riddhima was a spy. That sunny track was to bring her partner out to the light. But when she took a bullet for him, all his suspicions fell off. He let his guard down and assumed she was not a spy and that he was mistaken.
That was why in the navrathri sequence, he tells sia that ridz sent a birthday gift to sejal one day but now she is saying that sejal was in Dubai. This proved that he completely disregarded his own theories when she took the bullet for him.
VRS is being under-estimated here just like Kabir.Somebody who could read minds like a Human Lie-Detector was always unaware of the activities of an emotional foolish sloppy spy Ridzi huh.
Or perhaps he has that unlucky fate of getting conned by the charms of a woman only be it Anupriya/Uma/Ragini or Ridzi as said by Kabir.
Unlike Kabir VRS is neither a patient listener nor a meticulous planner. His plans and tricks even if good is always based on half-hearted facts.
There is a huge difference betwern vansh and kabir. Kabir invested too much in his plan with utmost patience but the minute things went downhill he got restless and impulsive in his decisions.
Vansh on the other hand is positively reactive to the situation. He handles crises well. If he can be proactive it would be more better.
VRS hate is only damaging the overall aura of his magnificent character.His hate without redemption looks like only a part of his overall emotional drama.
His past/present and future is shrouded in mystery.I don't know why is Vansh behaving this way with Ridzi since he already knew about her being a Spy.
He did not know she was a spy.
It's pretty much clear as revealed from Ragini's old Diary entries as to why she couldn't spend her life with VRS. She was no doubt a gold-digger but she got more than she bargained for.
The diary was written by vansh himself.
For VRS betrayal is a worst crime than Murder.Is there any guarantee that he never betrayed anyone before in the past?
Kabir is the villain no doubt but his motives are clear. What about Vansh? Would he have married every girl that came in his life just to find out whether she's a spy or not?
VRS doesn't bother to find out the root cause.He's delusional and is prone to jumping to the conclusions.
His own wife is his greatest enemy now as if she always wanted to marry him the day she came into his life.We all know who married whom forcefully.
VRS is the Mafia and one cannot become the same without being trained in the techniques of Detection and Deception.He might or might not have ulterior motives but his actions betray his sincere intentions.
We always find fault in vansh because we also consider him as the great VRS the master manipulator. Once we should remove that image and look at him as a destroyed man who has been betrayed by all the woman who he genuinely loved and respected, you will understand him.
The glorified image that we have of him should come down. Only then will we see the unshed tears of a broken man.
This is just a wounded man on the path of self destruction.
