I agree, the serial is about Anupama's journey, but when a person is broken beyond a limit, they need friends and family's support. In case of Anupama, she only has Devika for support. Kinjal tries, and so does Samar, but like I said, they aren't in a position to push her to grow her own confidence which has been brutally killed over 26 years. Anuj, and his light heartedness allows Anupama to be herself, unabashedly, because Anuj and GK will not judge her, something she is constantly done at her home by everyone with nobody to raise a voice for her. Again, Kinjal has started now but she is a "kid" and won't be taken as a learning moment.
I won't talk about Bapuji because there is another topic which does sum him up very well. If he supports Anupama when she talks back or wants to be with Anuj, I would agree he wants best for her, right now he hangs in balance.
As for love story, the magic of this would be that Anuj wants Anupama to realise her potential without needing him, and he is not going to tell her that he loves her, so he will support her like a friend and help Anupama break the cycle of abuse which he is noticing now. I think only once Anupama gains that love and confidence for herself can she even think of love, right now she doesn't love herself enough to love another.
