Laksh looked around the place for the first time , it irked him that he got access into his brother house because of his wife ,not because his brother wanted him to be a part of his life .

Laksh looked up to Sanskar ever since he moved in with them after his parents death ,he loved him like a brother ,not as a cousin . Inspite of Sanskar awkwardness Laksh believed he was someone close to him ,until his brother cut him off his life.

Even when his father kicked Sanskar out with Asha ,Laksh never assumed that would be the end of his relationship with his brother ,his calls went unanswered then he changed his number . And yet Laksh went to Adarsh work place when he found Sanskar was working in his firm ,but he never even got to meet him because there was no one named Sanskar in that firm .

That was when he found out about his brother name change ,yet he persisted for over a period of 6 months until he fell into a depression . He began to have fit of tantrums and sometime they had hint of violence ,though he controlled them from manifesting outside it existed inside him .

That why he quit his job and went to London , so he can be alone and not see his dad every day . That where he met Swara, through Ragini of course . Ragini had been his friend from college back when he studied MBA in London . They hit it off on the sole principle of being two Indian in an foreign place .

While Ragini stayed behind in London after graduation ,Laksh moved back home and a huge part of that reason had been Sanskar. He missed him and without him ,he didn't like to live in a place where he was constantly reminded about his brother and his family .

The reason he had move back home was Swara , he wanted to marry her which meant returning back to his family , He had  pursued Swara relentlessly ,and though she rejected his intentions at first . He knew she wanted a diversion from whatever she was running from just like him and he provided it by being there for her , Laksh had used it to his advantage and by the end of 9 months she agreed to marry him .

And yes he knew the marriage had been because of her want to have a family ,she had ragini but Laksh knew Ragini was more focused on work leaving Swara alone for hours in a day . For Laksh it meant more he found some to love and he believed she won't leave him like Sanskar .

So yes he was angry when swara ran away from her wedding ,more angry when his family forced Ragini to marry him . She agreed for his sake he knew that and yet he hated asking her to go through it for him . He always hoped swara will come back one day ,just like he hoped his brother would welcome him back . At least Swara had a valid reason as she was dead and Sanskar still continue to not accept him back.

He planned to set Ragini from their sham of a marriage and let her go free after he learnt about Swara death ,he knew Ragini hatred towards marriage after her parents divorce and abandonment where she was forced to live with Swara parents as both of her parents didnt want a 8 year old daughter into their new life , Ragini loved Swara parents has her own but yet her faith in marriage had been left shattered in the end. 

 

 And Laksh thought were interrupted by Ragini who was looking at him with concern ,they all have been on edge after Sanskar was revealed to be Rajeev . The media was hounding on all doors ,claiming the public wants to know why he used a different name and lives in hiding. 

It was Sanskar who called Ragini ,two days ago to arrange for a interview. Laksh didn't know why Ragini asked him to tag along, probably because he had talked non stop about his niece and she had hoped he would get a chance to see her but Sanskar had already sent dida and Asha to her grandparents house and yet another reason he was upset with his brother.
