What good is Naren's love for his daughter if he is meek little puppy dog in front of his wife and cannot protect the child from heart breaks ...When Ashi told him again that she is looking for a mother in the magazines , he did not see her pain ...he instead again reprimanded her for talking bad about his darling Pari ...
Okay Tanya Di you know exactly what I think of Naren, that he is a loser of the first order and I want Ankita to get Ashi's custody too, but I have to say that I think Naren sees very well that the situation is not right at all, he does see Ashi's pain.. at the same time he reprimanded her (lovingly, I must add) bcos parents do not encourage children speaking such stuff about elders or such behavior. If they start speaking ill or scolding parents in front of the children or agreeing with them or even leave such behavior unchecked, then children also get encouraged to think they are right, imitate the same and much worse. Instead they try to get the child to respect the other parent by saying 'no she/he loves you, don't say this' while on the side they do fight with the other parent saying how they are wrong and stuff and try to manage the problem on the side- both of which Naren is doing.
Even the flowers and gifts to Pari are not for pampering her or for the sake of romance. They are just to make her feel a little loved so that she behaves properly with Ashi, as she feels Ashi has come in between both of them.
