What a heart wrenching episode and Mukku and Anuj nailed it.
When nothing seems to augur well for you, the utopia you created comes crashing before your eyes it not only breaks your hear but your faith, your confidence and your hope. The broken Anuj Kapadia is this type. It now makes sense why he reacted the way he did when Anupama stood up for him in public, he reacts in disbelief on his return home. When he has a close brush with death he realises that it isn't worth to dwell only in the past. The present the now is important as well.
When he finds in Anupama a kindred soul, someone who understands and genuinely Empatheses with him he longs she walks with him forever.
It is in this way that Anupama has begun to shape his thought process.
Malavika has lost the support system called family quite young. Being the bubbly person she is she has borne her pain stoically. She fell for a man who emerged a gold digger Anuj married her off to a monster who battered her black and blue. Anuj in his protective/ responsible mode has sought to solve all her problems and create an ideal world for her. Malavika would have loved to fall/ fail and rise to discover herself but the excessive care of Anuj denied her that . She thus chose to run away from her problems. It is not having less or nothing that is her issue but having too much bestowed on her that is.
The business venture with Vanraj is not to try her hand at money making but to see what folks do for the sake of money. She is candid in expressing her views. She feels a soul connect with Anupama which is why she never says anything bad to her.
The needs of each varies. The means to attain it too varies, some resort to deviant manipulation read Vanraj.
Some choose an easy way out, read Paritosh.
The trio has to pick the shattered pieces and create a new work of art like the Japanese. The adhesive that binds them is love and care. It is a journey where the bridges need to be burnt and a new beginning needs to be made.
Here's to new beginning s for the Kapadias,
