His equation with OM is completely different and I think makers didn't go deep into that angle,but I don't know what to say when you say he doesn't hurt people with NKK lectures and those NKK lectures are very painful
He tells those NKK lectures to his family ppl only. Even the scene after ghughat dress rehersal scene he told about sadak kooda thing he did not tell it to anika. He was telling rudra or prinku i think to not make friends with them. He did not tell to anika. She overheard. I think even if its wrong perception he can have it. He does not go and hurt such ppl on purpose. Only after chip incident he went after her insulting her. Before that he avoided picking fights with her also.
Even normal ppl have such judgemental behavior. Say someone dresses revealingly. Some ppl comment badly in private in gossip but act like not minding it in public. For me this is one such perception that he has. I don't give too much value to his wrong perception.
