I don't believe they are butchering his character.
He is upset with all that has happened in his sister's life.
He knew that his sister is a spoilt brat and is very immature and selfish.
Then she fell for someone who was considered to be totally unsuitable for her.He tried to explaining to her that the man is not suitable for her.
So despite having doubts about the viability of the relationship he reconciled himself and accepted that relationship because despite knowing all the past about the man her sister wanted to marry he believed him to be a changed man.He thought the man will bring some stability in his sister's life when he saw his sister trying to change her self to fit into the man's life.
He had doubts when the man in question disappeared at the time of engagement so he asked the man whether he is sure of what he is doing and whether he is happy with his sister or not.When the man assured him he knew what he was doing he believed the man.
Then all of sudden just a few days before the wedding his sister's fiance walks into his home and calls off the marriage citing incompatibility as the reason.He did not see that as a reson to call off the wedding because he has seen his sister changing.
And he brought out the man's past because this is how he broke off with his first wife saying their lives have become too different.
When he got to know that his sister's views on her fiance's family was the reason why the wedding was called off he wanted to go and meet her fiance's family and apologise on her behalf and ask him to reconsider the decision.
But he was met with a sight where his sister's fiance married a girl who he has fallen in love with and declared her love for ehr.He even said that he never loved his fiance.It was a good enough reason for him to believe that Jagya has broken off with his sister just because he was in love with another woman.In his mind Jagya has handled the issue exactly the same way he handled Anandi and Gauri issue.He was angry at Jagya at that time for the way he hurt Anandi and now he is angry with Jagya for what he believes he has done to his sister.
Once they came back his mother did not make things easy for him either.She blames Anandi for all this mess.
Anandi finally told what she knew and believed about Sanchi and he was angry with her for telling this so late.Because he thinks if she had told all this before they could have broken off the alliance much before and saved themselves from being humilated and also believes that Sanchi's madness would not have reached to this level if the rishta is broken off before.
He is right in his POV.
He was angry with Jagya for the way he has hurt Anandi and now he is angry because he believes Jagya hurt his sister just like the way he hurt Anandi.So there is definitely no butchering of his character there.He is still the same man.
But yes he is totally blind to his sister's shortcomings and he has been this way right from the begining not just now.If he has any flaw then it is this inability to see his sister in her true colours.
Him being angry with his wife is quite understandable because she delayed in telling him things and if he feels upset that she is supporting Jagya that's also understandable because he is feeling betrayed by her.
But him accusing his wife of wanting to watch tamasha is not acceptable and keeping quite when his mother hurls accusations one after the other at his wife is unacceptable.
