I think Dadaji is by far the most misunderstood character in the Ganghawal household. (Yes, even more than Ramesh)
So I've decided to share what I think could be his reasons for acting the way he does. Will keep updating what I think is his POV.
I'm going to start with Ramesh.
Dadaji mentioned how Ramesh was his ray of hope when Dadaji was at the lowest point in his career. So Ramesh had a very special place in his heart.
Now, Ramesh, his younger most and probably most pampered son developed an interest in music. Fair enough. But Dadaji could probably see that Ramesh was very average at it.
(Even I like to sing, I even like performing, but I have a deal with my parents that I will first graduate in a 'safe' field then I can do whatever the hell I want)
He saw that Ramesh was taking a huge risk by getting unnecessarily serious about music. Also, let's face it, music is, in general, a very risky career option. He did NOT support Ramesh in a venture that he thought could ruin his life.
Then Ramesh ran away. Dadaji was probably very hurt. His most favourite son, his hope in life, had taken such a huge step. Still, I think, he would have accepted it if Ramesh proved himself. (Dadaji himself had rebelled against his father and proved his father wrong)
Ramesh could have proved himself, learnt enough in those 6 months and proved Dadaji wrong. What did he do? Run back home when his funds ran out. Also, he took to drinking. (Which would be a major reason for the insufficient funds) I feel Ramesh was a protected child, so when he stepped out he was excessively prone to influences.
When he returned, Dadaji saw his worst fears realized. Ramesh was in ruins. This is why he didn't want Ramesh to choose such a risky career option. He felt ,perhaps, he'd been too lenient with Ramesh. He tried to tighten the reins, hoping to shake Ramesh out of the madness. Ramesh didn't budge. He had become a hopeless alcoholic. This hardened Dadaji further.
Luckily, Ramesh had picked up the right girl. Dadaji hoped Lakshmi could change him.
That too didn't happen too soon.
As far as the financial status is concerned, Dadaji didn't originally plan to insult Ramesh publicly. Remember, they had to give a combined gift during Dolly's wedding so that the economic disparity didn't show. (there, Roopan played villain).
The fact that Ramesh refused to quit drinking despite the suffering his wife and kids had further lowered Ramesh's image.
In such a situation, why should Dadaji think that Ramesh is responsible? Why shouldn't he feel that Ramesh is gullible? He doesn't doubt Ramesh's character, just his intellect.
I think Ramesh started out as Dadaji's dearest child... So his misdeeds hurt Dadaji the most.
What say?
