@SaurabhKiRadha you don't get Arjun's mind-set, it's not easy to accept step-mom no matter how close the lady was and I've seen this up-close... I've seen two different families handling the situation differently, a very close family friend I had seen them, Uncle had 02 kids, one boy and one girl from his 1st wife and after his wife's death who were between 06-10 when he re-married his wife's younger sister and they had a son from that... his 1st wife's kids are grown-up and married themselves but still haven't been able to accept their Maasi as their new Mom...in fact I had heard them literally say that the day their Mother died, their father died for them too. They had married because of the kids and they only couldn't accept their step-mom who was their Maasi only because no one had asked them what they felt. Another is my friend, his mom died in car accident and he was the only son...his father didn't remarry no matter how much relatives said until about 02 yrs later he himself had asked his father to...then the lady his father had remarried kept specific conditions that to love his 1st wife's son only will he married and they would not have another child...anyways the point is his father had taken his son's opinion, so he never had hard time accepting his step-mom. So you get the thing what Arjun's father and Vandhana had done, they may have taken the decision for Arjun's betterment but they hadn't included him which led for him to develop such prejudice and the gossip he had heard only strengthen those prejudice he still has...it's not that easy to let them go, maybe if they had talked to him elaborating the situation and including him rather then deciding him on his be-half than things would've been different. They should've sat with Arjun when he was little more grown-up and talked to him about the relationship with Vandhana more clearly, maybe that would'e helped but they didn't do anything that sort which led to what is happening now...so more than Arjun, it is Vandhana and Arjun's father's fault that he thinks so bad about Vandhana..
