Don't forget his first reaction when Anandi slapped him due to the property dispute. She said either give the divorce or she would go to court against him for 2nd marriage.
He refused to give her divorce and said something which amounted to 'let her carry this name forever, I am never gonna free her.'
His ego couldn't take it. So he resorted to that.
This is similar to the typical egoistic reactions that Sanchi has whenever something goes against her wishes.
1. My main post was no way directed at J, but AnSh, Ganga and J. If some J fans opt to say that the thread is for criticizing J then either they (1) are unable to read (2) blind bhakhts of J. IMO.
Coming to your question about the parallel between J and Sa, which issue you raised- Here is my reasoning:
2. One of my favorite subjects in school/university was English. So, when I look at any story I see it from a literary perspective. Who is being etched as Foil, Parallels, Trickster, etc. Here Sanchi and J are being developed along similar lines. If one looks at the show objectively then it is rather apparent that is what the CVs have done:
(a) J is shown to have been spoilt by his family because he was the boy; Sa has been similarly spoilt on the basis she is the "youngest";
(b) J was shown to develop a distaste for village life; Sa had a similar extreme distaste when she arrived;
(c) J insulted and humiliate Anandi, made fun of her clothes and food; Sa has done the exact same;
(d) J altered Anandi's name to Nandini infront of his seheri friends; Anandi considers Anandi's name to be ancient;
(e) J lied about what his parents did and who they were to impress his friends, disrespected his parents' and their choice of wife for him by rejecting his legal relationship with Anandi, illegally married another woman, and tried to blackmail them into giving him his inheritence; Relatively, Sa has just barked at the shekhars, so I would say she is not as bad as J as of now.
(f) J lied and manipulated his family, anandi and his family for three years, so as to continue his relationship with Gauri. I say lie and manipulate because he well knew that if he told his family the truth then they would not let him continue to rormance Gauri. Sa has lied & manipulated family to wear a short dress and ran off to Jaitsar.
(g) The reason J lied about his marital status to Gauri for three years is so she con't to be impressed by him; Sa is likewise pretending to be a better self infront of Dr. Jagdeesh.
(h) Ja in his rages has humiliated not only his "wives" -(I remember all the times he raged at A or G for minor reasons), but perfect strangers - i.e. the sabziwala, the dean of college, and Senior Doctor; Sa similarly mistreats Ganga and Anandi;
(i) Jagya plotted to keep the truth of his rishta with Gauri from his family for three years. Then along with Gauri he plotted to get the singh's property, and lastly he plotted to throw bibhoot on Bhago's ashes. So, like Sa and Payal - he too has plotted and planned.
(j) Jagya plotted to break up AnSh ka rishta. He poisoned Nandu and manipulated DS's mind. He faked amnesia, so he could get close to Anandi in front of Shiv. He tried to suggest to Anandi that the Shekhar's would ill treat her. Lastly, he set up Shiv. NOW HE DID ALL OF THIS AS AN ADULT WITHOUT BAD EVIL GAURI'S INFLUENCE. Sa is trying to poison Sumi's mind against Ganga. But, surely you would agree that Jagya did much much more to Anandii. So, again Sa's wrongs pale when compared to Jagya's misdeeds.
(k) Jagya in several scenes touched Anandi in an inappropriate way and made comments about her body that were meant to show Shiv that he knew A intimately and/or reassert that intimacy btwn himself & Anandi especially when he was faking amnesia. Sa is likewise trying to establish a physical relationship with J.
(l) When he asked Shiv to step back from A then he assumed he was best life partner for A and A would eventually see that. Sa is doing same now - assuming she is better for J and he will eventually realize she is perfect for him.
3. You cannot excuse all misconducts of J as being BV victim and under influence of Gauri. He was legal grown adult with brain of his own and made lots of wrong choices as an adult. Anandi is also victim of BV - she did not romance another guy just because J was absent for 3 years... she surely had the opportunity as well. As for Gauri's influence - She is responsible for her actions. J is responsible for his. If J was mentally challenged and incapable of thinking for himself then I would accept that J had to blindly follow Gauri. But, in the absence of that type of mental incapacity, which was not shown, I am going to treat J like the intelligent adult he is.
Moreover, there are many things he did wrong before Gauri knew about Anandi and after he returned to Jaitsar having left Gauri
Also, if he had been honest at the start of the three year relationship with Gauri then he could have voided the relationship with Anandi before their BV became legal. But, he opted for the DISHONEST PATH.
J is being held to account for his mistakes and Sa is part of that punishment. In the future, Sa will hopefully have to give similar accounting for her misdeeds. Kudos to CVs for meting appropriate punishment.
