My money is the other way around. Papa Agnihotri is the root cause of all evil. Mama Agnihotri is pious one (Anjali anyone). Abla nari under the julum of Papa. He is the one who forces her to do it all and if it is not done, just that way, she is the one to get punished.
Papa was the cause of lady love going away/dying(?) but since the actions and words are Mama's she became the bad one in everyone's eyes. While Papa supported on the surface and has undying love.This is such a 'nayi soch' NOT!
I gave up on EBP but if I ever go back once all the raaz is out, my money is also on papa agnihotri being the root cause of the evil. I think the whole funda will be back after the marriage. Meanwhile it is a rehash of all old classic scenes of IPK.
You gave up on EBP? I never gave it a chance. 😆
