Well said. Anil has been shown as some kind of bechara or soft man easily emotionally blackmailed by women.
There is a similar streak in Laadla when he wants to marry Raveena but Sridevi blackmails his mother to pressurise Anil to marry her.
He agrees?
Anil is probably the king of misogynist films and showing man as victim or fighting off women's manipulations.
So wife goes on hunger strike and faints once, and this is enough to make you marry another woman? Other woman also becomes nice when she becomes Bharatiya naari and stops eating unless husband ate or goes in same taxis, autos as husband did? He later changes so much that he even takes kids to bond with Jhanvi, sleep and play in same room as her, and even kids begin like Jhanvi more than their own mom.
Bizarre film.
The film tries to show him as confused sacrificial lamb ruined at hands of 2 women but as a man he himself never took a stand at all when he had all the means to put his foot down.
BTW I think lot of Anil films like Jamai Raja, Laadla, Judaai, Awaargi, Benam Badsha are really misogynistic and show women in poor light, mainly center around theme of teaching a lesson to woman and have violence against women.
