again by showing him so blind and being taken for a ride by shyam they are jeopodising the inteligence of asr
I don't think he is shown that blind to situations. If he had to blindly believe Shyam, he wouldn't have stopped giving him money. He wouldn't have taken precautions against Shyam using his money and everything; when clearly Shyam was trying to show him how is changing, when he was preparing crib as a surprise for Anjali. I think his character is still pretty much intact.
