Anuj:

The definition of akal ka andha on the show.

1. First he made her a partner despite not being sufficiently qualified and let her take important decisions. He even influenced Malavika to concede to Anupama's requests favouring Shahs going blind to the fact that Anupama hid the malicious intents of Vanraj. Anupama supported Anuj when he walked out leaving a vulnerable Malavika and the entire empire only to go behind his back to "talk to Malavika".

This was the start if his finish. He should have stopped Anupama right here but his 26 saal ka pyaar took over his ability to reason.

This slowly became a habit for Anupama and when anyone did not concede or tried to discuss, she would sulk till they did or Anuj would do the honous for his "Meri Anu".

2. Anuj did not retaliate, question or stop her when she, unilaterally, without consent or consultation started taking decisions to the point that his own family (Bhaiya and "Maa samaan" Bhabhi, parents samaan GK) were repeatedly humiliated.

a. She took ALL decisions, major and minor at Kapadia Mansion and Empire, unilaterally and left no stone unturned to show Ankush-Barkha (from the beginning) of her power and kept them on the edge but did not let them go (when Anuj wanted to give them a separate house).

b. She rejected Barkha's proposal for a premium fashion house citing middleclass people wouldnt be able to afford them.

c. She forced Barkha to accept Romil knowing well, she had no options.

d. Ankush, for everything was right as long as he became a "Yes" man. Both him and Adhik went through a screening and interview process at mid level jobs whereas Pakhi got a leadership role without interviews or experience. Anuj did nothing knowing Pakhi's presentations were done by Adhik.

3. Anuj had been ok with Anupama's actions as long as it was impacting others: Company, other family members (which in itself was WRONG on Anuj's part) Anuj's breaking point was when it came to his daughter. When Anupama's negligence and wrong decisions started impacting his daughter.

Anuj was wrong to Not stop, put his foot down and NOT agree to the decisions Anupama took unilaterally. (Even if it meant going against the pseudo feminist agenda.)

a. Anupamaa took the decision to bring in Maaya to Kapadia Mansion against Anuj's will. He wanted a verification and thorough background check on Maaya before Letting Choti Anu to interact with her but Anupama confirmed Maaya as the birth mother using her "Mamatha meter" much to his reluctance (she sulked till he gave in). She allowed Maaya to stay at Kapadia Mansion against everyone's will at Kapadia Mansion.

The legendary "Choti ke liye na sahi, Anuj ke liye hi sahi aa jaao" was proof that Anuj's opinion hardly mattered.

b. She bet on their child on a 15-day challenge without Anyone's knowledge or consultation. She left midway to stay at Shah House to tend to Paritosh (which too she left midway). She returned not because Choti Anu had a camp (she did not even know about it). Anupama returned because Anuj mentioned he was busy and could not talk to her. Her actions have only been motivated by threat.

c. She did not even give the real reason of Maaya taking away their daughter. When he could take the insensitivity no more, he was grieving and wanted to somehow meet his daughter, he was called "Pagal" by his wife. This left Anuj absolutely broken and shattered. Despite ALL this, she insisted on celebrating Holi with Shahs.

Which sensible business man will make a 12th Pass as his Business Partner? Anuj is a fool literally to do so. And then another blunder, he marries Anupama knowing fully that she was a divorcee, a mother of 3 grown up children and a grand mother of 1. Anupama stands as a mute spectator to the humiliation of Anuj by Baa in the Ravan Dahan episode. And then the fraud episode where she had faced fraud and Rakhi ji helps her with the money. And the ungrateful Anupama throws Rakhi ji out of the Shah house. And then the ungrateful Anupama instructs Kinjal not to talk to her. Anupama is the 1 who brain washed Kinjal against Rakhi ji. Which sensible woman stays with her ex and sautan after divorce? Toshu and Pakhi treat Anupama as a door mat and the woman who failed as a mother is giving lectures on motherhood to Rakhi ji. After divorce, Anupama should have completed her education and got a good job for herself.

I feel sorry for Anuj. He deserved a well educated wife.
