I wonder if it is the passive conditioning Ani has undergone in the hands of his family, ie., constant berating of Jhanak. Even if he stands up against it most of the time, he still hears them from time to time and might have internalized it and not acted upon it unless he loses control like the past couple of episodes.
Passive conditioning might have thrown him into this space of 'Disrespect & Humiliation' - which is why I expected him to call her characterless. I doubt 'Control' is a result of the Basus' constant slanders at Jhanak.
Instead, it could be from the very blueprint of his family - how the Men are Working while the women are Not allowed to work. It must've been deep seeded in his subconscious mind - patriarchy. Anirudh being the modern educated person wouldn't have had to go through Self Introspection, bcz at the face of it, he is very much the quintessential Alpha male. Arshi being his choice of life partner, only cements this notion. Apart from this, his obvious connect with Jhanak at a subconscious and conscious level & the battle between these 2 worlds (which I usually simplify as Head & Heart), is very perplexing for him. Further, what makes it a chaotic struggle for him - could be the fact that Jhanak (who has become a part of him) is not what he imagined she is, thereby giving him a sense of scare that He is not what he thinks he is, either. His feelings of Betrayal seem to be more from/of/by his own Self. The catalyst is more Internal than External. He shd Wake Up & take Cognizance of his Inner Self & only then can he free himself of the Shackles of the complex Emotions/Thoughts.
If left unworked, we can see what happens
