Balwant's intentions may be genuine but he does not have backbone and cannot take a stand. He lets his wife run her mouth off and doesn't have the guts to tell her when she is wrong. Bansuri has Balwant wrapped around her little finger.
Also, Balwant has not been a good father. Not only has he turned a blind eye to Bansuri's mistreatment of Gunjan during her childhood, he seems to have neglected Baldev and has never really made an effort to connect with his son.
