Sure, from Saumya's POV he's wrong, but objectively he isn't wrong.
Let's not forget, Anoop has no business calling him gunda, najayaz, and all that either. Somewhere, both Anoop and Jeet are aware that they are strangers who unwittingly have an intimate knowledge of each other's lives. The reason Jeet's words triggered a panic attack in Anoop is precisely because what Jeet said was the truth. And sach hamesha kadwa hota hai. The words were also not insulting. He wasn't demeaning her father, he just was angry and raised his voice at Anoop. Which tracks for a man who already was literally demeaned by his own father, and then had to deal with indirect taunts on his character by a man who claimed to know his daughter.
He's never been a mere bystander anyway.
As for the fight with the goons, again, we don't know what prompted it, but judging by Saumya's bloody nose, one of those goons either intentionally smacked her or accidentally shoved her. Now, when Sarthak just held onto Saumya's wrist really tightly, we actually saw a glimpse of the same anger Jeet is showing in the BTS. Sarthak just twisted/held Saumya's wrist tightly, and got an equally violent response from Jeet along with a verbal thrashing. If someone did something much worse with Saumya, he will react appropriately (re: Jeet literally thrashing Roop).
I'm okay with the conflict being Saumya being mad at Jeet because she thinks he's wrong, but a conflict that's derived from only Saumya being right and Jeet only being wrong is just unfair to both these characters. Saumya needs to learn that her father isn't a perfect man, and Jeet needs to feel vindicated for all the filth that Anoop, Roop, and Sanjeev have been spewing at him from day one.
This is literally a case of dono apni jagah sahi hai, but one character definitely needs a better treatment from the writers.
