If he's so proud of Anupama and so excited for her in her new innings of life, why can't he ever open up his mouth to control his uncouth, disrespectful and demeaning wife and son. When he told Vanraj he doesn't need to give him an explanation why couldn't he also say Anupama doesn't owe him any explanation either. And when he can announce good news with such enthusiasm, why can't he stop his wife before she tears that card and shames the character of his "daughter". Maybe he respects his wife a lot, never wants to misbehave and control her like his son always did to Anuapama, but if Leela is an outdated woman, why doesn't she ever stay silent in front of her husband and not argue with him the way she always made Anupama behave with Vanraj? All her rules for what a wife should be like to her husband, she never follows herself. I'm surprised that she hasn't yet declared that Anupama can no longer cook in that kitchen because she has now cooked at a Paraya mard's house. And waiting for Bapuji to ever open his mouth and genuinely support Anupama, I'll probably become his age only. And Leela is so encouraging about Kavya working with paraya mards at whichever job she'll end up doing(If you ask me, she'll definitely end up at AK's company only), so is it that she just can't stand that the uneducated woman she disapproved of and hated her whole life who divorced her evil, useless son and has not fallen apart like everyone expected her to is now getting all the appreciation and love and success that her son isn't getting and that she herself was never capable of giving her. She's clearly not against women working or working with paraya mards, she just can't stand that it's Anupama doing it. All this talk of izzat and sharam of the family, people will not look down on Anupama moving on and getting married after divorce, that's the normal and accepted thing to do. What's not normal is staying in the same house as your ex husband and his new wife and continuing to be a slave to a family that's disrespected you constantly and consistently. The society Leela cares about should actually be allowed to give her a couple of their genuine opinions which would be that she's insane to be living this way and needs to let her ex bahu leave and move on with her life. Even the neighbours whose opinions she values so much would say so.
