I have nothing to add since your post is 1000% on the mark.
I have SO MANY ISSUES with Pres character and Bajaj too but Anurag’s always gotten a free pass.
Anurags more problematic character traits have been swept under the rug, when they highlight ‘the ideal son persona.
If you watch carefully, he has been overbearing with Pre. His attitude during the Komo track of blow hot and cold, to always keep her on the hook, and let’s not even get to the fact his family has always insulted P and not once he has spoken up.
Here,The day he decided to risk his life to win her back, he made it all about him, not the woman he supposed loves. And now that Bajaj has challenged him and questioned him, all he can think of is how to win the challenge and he’ll do anything to get back HIS love. Including crossing all lines of decency. He doesn’t even care who catches him, so long, he gets to constantly be around Pre like..., I’m sorry, but a housefly.
It’s interesting also that he is constantly telling her, I know you aren’t happy, I know you love me.,, not, HOW are you doing? WHY did you marry.
I think he has given up all aspect of life like work, friends, and has focused all his energies on proving to B, Pre loves him. Once he gets ‘proof’ his next move will likely to pressure P to divorce B.
I always had an issue with the execution of this show, from Ps character development( who doesn’t have a forking life outside of these two men and that child) to the sheer whiplash inducing story telling.
