Don't be overthinking. I read lots of views regarding today episode and all of them said same thingh or feel that u feel but I think differently.
Yes! Anuj is so strong but in many episode when we saw him as helpless. Anuj main problem that he loves someone from bottom of his heart. I saw episodes when he feel helpless to help anupama infront of Shah till that day when he express his love for anupama infront of Shah.When vanraj create tamasha on bhumi punjan and even blame anupama and his relationship. At that day, he also feel helpless.
Sister is important part of anyone life and it is not that relation which can be hide. But if relationship comes to at that peak where each and every moment of that relationship gives u pain. Then definitely u don't disclose this relation to anyone. His relation with shah is not so good as he share his pain with them except anupama. But even he can't said a single word about his feeling for anupama to anupama. How he said all of this to her? He always told that he loves anupama too much but never want anything back or even he can't make any umeed. So why we blame him or makers to spoil his character. No! Definitely never. Anuj is a character who loves someone without hopes of return, he is one who always think himself responsible for the pain of the person whom he loves most. Just like anupama and now in malvika.
When his parents passed away , he was just 25. He does not know about a b c of business. So may be he was too busy to handle his father business but now he is mature as well as well-settled business men who handle his business easily. So don't be overthink about it.
Secondly, I never feel vanraj as hero or makers try to reconstruct his image. No! Definitely no. He is selfish and egoistic man but he loves his family too much which we see from 1st episode. Kavya hurt his ego and self respect which make him like that.
Last but not to forget that it is serial where love birds does not get anything easily. Anu knows anuj loves her lot and when she confess her love than there is not any problem to anyone. Bapu ji , samar , nandini. Kinjal are wanted that anu settle with anuj. Now vanraj also ready and he is only one who easily confess baa, toshu and Pakhi easily for this relation. So where is obstacle?
If maker show vanraj fond of anupama and deliberately want anu in his life back and became negative which is already we all thinking before it and happen in mostly serials. So, what is difference between anupama and other serials. But makers comes with different plot and each plot takes some time I.e. 2 to 7 episode to settle.
Last, hum sabko aadat ho gayi anuj and anupama ko dekhne ki but agar sab kuch easily anupama confess Kar legi toh mazaa kaise aayega. Hum ko bhi anuj jaisa confession chaiye. I want such level of confession, not like bread or butter.
