I also have a new thought.
Maybe Gopal is the male version of Ishwari ( the mother in Kuch rang pyar Ke aise bhi (who was essentially jealous of her daughter in law and had some really unhealthy emotional attachment to her son))
Maybe that’s why subconsciously he has always picked wrong boys for marrying his daughter like Bipin,Neel and Mohit. Guys he knows wouldn’t keep his daughter happy. So that she comes back to him with her problems even after her marriage
Maybe that’s why he has a problem with Arya cause he realises that Arya is 100 times a better man than he ever could be. That he would definitely keep his daughter happy. And once she is married to him anu wouldn’t need her papa for every little thing as she does now.
