“In your haste to show an Idealistic man some where you have missed realistic. Show Anuj as smart, clever and yet human and sensitive - A womans Ally. Do not show him weak otherwise you are representing that people who supports a woman so boldly and strongly is actually weak when it comes to the time of confrontation of challenges . He can be sensitive and yet clever. Why should only the woman do all the lifting (AKA anupama) “
Spot on analysis, particularly this italicised part. It’s truly sad to see a well written character ruined in this manner. Part of the success of the character is the way he’s been portrayed by GK, but part of it is also due to the way he has been written. Or rather, was written.
Good stories will have a strong protagonist and a strong antagonist playing off each other to move the story forward. But, the supporting characters are equally important. The sort of people you surround yourself with speaks a lot about the sort of person you are. They indirectly tell the viewer more about who you are.
The way Anuj has been shown so far was a good foil for Anupama. Their approach to life was different, yet their basic values were the same.
Oh well, maybe time to palla jhatkake swish away for a bit!
