- He is a loving father and does not abuse his kids.
- He has given them adequate freedom within bounds.
- He thinks he knows the best for them -- which parent doesn't
- He wants to chose their life partner -- this may be unbelievable to many on the forum from large cities and other countries but it is a fact of life of a large majority in India.
- He emotionally blackmails them - almost all parents do because that is most effective way to get what you want from your kids. Kids do the same.
- Finally - the biggest point -- He hates Atharv - Why would a father/family accept a guy with
-- no family name (it is very important in most part of India)
-- no money, deep in debt
-- maligns his daughter's name in public by claiming he will marry her by hook or crook
-- OTT confident attitude that keeps rubbing him the wrong way
His methods to keep Atharv away from Vividha are despicable, but he did start "gently" by threatening and scaring the mother-son duo. Things escalated only after the threats did not work and the mother-duo kept showing up at his door step to force the relationship down his throat.
A father could care less how sexy the guy was, if his current prospects are nil.
I know most people on the forum will disagree with me but this my POV
