I want to say you are the most clever one out of us all for being cautious with Ani Bose. I don't know how many women's hearts he broke with his one monologue today ๐!
I like what you said, it makes me want to think about things from a different perspective about Anirudh Bose as I am trying to understand it more.
One thing is for sure though, about Ani, they have taken immense liberties with this character. "Jhanak" is the show and to glorify Jhanak they will butcher Ani whenever needed. All that you are asking, I get your point!
He did go beserk when J got hurt every single time, but yes it never went to the police station. The people trying to hurt her are his family members plus there was not a real proven case except for the Tejas wedding attempt by S.
The suicide attempt... that was because of Guruji...remind me if I am wrong. his family members also played a part in it.. but that's his family, will you file a police complaint against your own family because of a stranger?
The Holi incident... he did not check CCTV yes, that is my question as well. Writer's way to keep things open-ended! Jhanak said she did not drink a lot of bhang, no one can imagine she could have been poisoned.. who would do something like that from his family? Isn't that a strange thought at that time?
When it came to marrying Tejas and the recent incident... he did give a lot of hints to Jhanak about the police complaint, it was her responsibility as well. This time as well she is choosing the route of mahanata and letting S go even with clear evidence. If Jhanak herself is not ready to do anything what can he do? He had confused reaction when she let her go... like he did not agree to it
Also, let's try to remember he is an absolute stranger to Jhanak.. she is no one to him... but he chooses to do things for her. No one does that in this world. Because of that, he deserves credit.
Now when it comes to Arshi, this is a lot because of Shristi's influence. If it was not for her, Ani would not have gone to the police to complain. Everyone thought it was an accident. Shristi poisoned everyone's mind to think it was an attempt to murder! Quite foolish! I said this on the forum previously, but to me, Anirudh is someone who believes in standing for what's right, doesn't matter who the person is. Think about it this way, if he can fight this hard for Jhanak, marry her, and bring her to Kolkata, why do we not expect him to fight for a woman he once loved and has been in a relationship with and well was about to marry?
The disappointment with a character really depends on the individual is what I have observed.
It helped me when I think of them as human beings prone to make wrong choices and wrong decisions. They also carry immense baggage and also surrounded by people who do not understand them. I am trying to understand the situation along with their nature as well and that makes me understand them. I am not here to judge, they are fictional characters.
Ani did so much for Jhanak, we always expect more and more from him. But the responsibility falls equally on Jhanak as well. He has contributed a lot to the story so far compared to Jhanak for me. I think it's J's turn now and I hope we get that from this track.
The characterization is complex for sure, and the maker's inability to portray it well does not help sometimes. I will be writing a post on Ani's character in the future and will tag you in that.

My concern was not with the serial or characters but with the faith people were showing in the character of Ani, which wasn't visible to me clear enough. I just worry when ppl give benefit of doubt OR think soo good/positive about someone who is visibly not trustworthy (in this case it was Ani). It leaves us disappointed when proven wrong. It shakes our values of trust/faith & understanding. One starts to question self, if failed by someone who they trust.
I just couldn't believe how much some trusted in his character - knowing that Ani din't do so much OA when Jhanak was poisoned during Holi with the bhaang. He said back then, that he will check cctv footage & figure out what happened but never did lift a finger to know the truth/conspiracy against Jhanak. Arshi got burnt, doctor did not say she will die. But back then, doctor told him Jhanak might not be saved. Doing Shivling n all is fine but what about justice for Jhanak? Jhanak attempted suicide in his house. Jhanak was forced to marry Tejas. Soo many crimes against Jhanak and Anirudh never went beserk like he did in Arshi's case now. Y now? Y did Anirudh want justice for Arshi so badly that he never wanted for Jhanak? Y din't these thoughts cross anyone's mind when there's crystal clear difference between his reaction towards justice for Arshi vs justice for Jhanak.......wait....there was never any justice for Jhanak. At least Anirudh didn't do everything necessary to bring culprits to punishment back then, when he even had proofs. But today based on merely a doubt, that too of a known b**** like SK, he chose to doubt Jhanak?? Doubt is also fine, but what's with the fierce fight for justice for Arshi, who was also a guilty party in the Tejas-J scenario!! Chalo lets assume fierce fight is also fine, but y only against Jhanak? Now with SK being proven guilty, y is his mouth SHUT???
Basically, I was surprised at how much faith some had/have in Anirudh....I for one have been cautious abt him since his Tejas/Control dialogue frm Ad shoot.....I know its too much bt him showing no remorse for thinking so low was a hint abt Anirudh's characterization. Writers did really mess up with characters, esp the leads. Both Ani & Jhanak have been irritating but one is more disappointing than the other, for me.
But ultimately it does lead to greater good for society - so many of us trying to understand n share our opinions here and learn about others and respect the differences....hopefully come out stronger as well
P.S: Apologies for any confusion cz I know I mixed real/reel quite a bit.....but we all invest our real emotions n thoughts for a reel drama, so its not always very easy to keep them separate.
