I think it is mainly about the stigma and hesitation associated with modeling for Jhanak that she is so unwilling about doing this line of work and the constant admonition and rebuke that she gets from the house affects her enough to perceive Aniruddh badly along with the fact that he lies a lot and doesn't do anything to save her from insults. It's also about her self-respect that makes her difficult to accept help from him considering his and his family's slanders for her.
Yes she is mentally broken due to the family drama.
Its after the accident sequence that Anirudh behaving bad with her .
Before when he used to support her also she was the same ...as the family always pounces on her .
