Vanraj suffers with an acute case of misplaced anger. He often uses this as a coping mechanisn to soothe his raging ego… his constant outbursts on Anu are a result of his aggresive complusive anger disorder.
Anu had been his punching bag for all of those 25 years they were together, he always found it easy and liberating to direct all his negativity towards her, the ever willing scapegoat.
In comes Anuj Kapadia and leaves him high and dry…his favourite or only go to person was no longer available to face his wrath, his fall guy had risen …and how!
Vanraj is so troubled with the changes in Anupama that he can’t find enough reasons to hate Anuj. He just cannot digest the fact that Anu is no longer the timid, naive, imbecile who lacked self-esteem and courage to stand up to his torture.
Anuj was very quick and wise to judge Vanraj’s anger and the reason behind it.. He was pretty convinced about Vanraj’s awful temperament right from their first meeting…Vanraj gave Anuj plenty of reasons to believe that he was a classless, egoistic chauvinist.
This wasnt the first time that Vanraj had hinted on MaAn having an illicit relationship but Anuj had let it go then and kept calm for Anu’s sake but now that Anu had opened up to him about her grievances against Vanraj, Anuj had no reason to hold back and out came all that bottled up frustration.
Though Anuj tried to reason out the timing and acceptance of his business proposal Vanraj refused to understand anything as expected and slandered MaAn openly.
How quickly it went from Vanraj addressing Anuj as Mr. Kapadia to ‘tu’ in a matter of a few glares and the irony of Vanraj accusing him of khullam khulla and besharmi when he’s far more guilty on both accounts.
The way MaAn yelled MR. SHAH!!! in sync was reason enough for Vanraj to know that he’s lost it all and that bout of misplaced anger was his only way out.
