Jagya seems to be grieving sub-consciously. He HAS lost his family and , be it whoever who proposed and whatever the outcome - the net result is - he feels like he is the outcast. The rest are still together and he has become the outsider. His mind is not able to fathom how he could have gone from being the biggest darling of all - to being the pariah !!
Till he can get out of that mindset - I doubt he will be able to whole-heartedly apply himself to his studies. We are not all super practical. Sometimes we take time to gather ourselves and do the obvious. J needs the time to gather himself too. He's in pieces and all over the place and he can't even talk to Gauri about it. So he has to sort out in his own mind.
Completely agree, very well said. I think he is a bit depressed, he was spoiled rotten and now the whole family has disowned him for Anandi. He grew up thinking that Anandi has to take care of him and is inferior to him with Dadisa's words, now he is the inferior one in a way for the family. He also cannot talk to Gauri because she will not understand and responds in a practical manner, he is not used to this. Jagya has also always been lazy about his studies with Anandi doing his homework, he has also always been sensitive to praise. I have not seen previous episodes and am going through updates now, and it is so obvious that people could make Jagya do things by just praising him. Now he is in a place where nobody praises him, he is not a star anymore, he has lost his entire family, and he feels inferior to Gauri in a way, she doesn't understand him either. He is a little depressed and is trying to avoid living the real life. He was also from a rich family and his demands were met, now he has to find his own way and he cannot deal with it.
Gauri does push him and nag him a lot. She is right about his education, but I see her nagging at the wrong time. It doesn't help his state of mind. He needs some time off to think, he has time now but he needs to step away a bit from Gauri and find his path. Her being on his case all the time without understanding his emotional state of emptiness doesn't help. Of course this is all Jagya's doing though, he brought this on himself through his choices.
