I've been thinking about Bhairon's role in this. We all have admired how consistent Bhairon has been in his stance against GAGA and how he has not deviated from support of Anandi. But I have a few issues with this. On the surface it seems all fair and above reproach but is Bhairon really taking a balanced approach???
My first issue with thus is:
Do you think he is taking his support of Anandi too far??? Shouldn't he be more firm with her and not give in to her arguments all in the name of 'support'. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. Wearing kid gloves in his treatment of Anandi is doing her more harm than good. Ostrich mentality won't make the problem go away. He should counter argue with Anandi that he and every individual in the haveli is solely responsible for their relationship with Jagya. She is not the caretaker of their relationship with Jagya and therefore she should not interfere if they choose to cut him off financially.
My second issue is:
Do you think he is NOT taking his estrangement with Jagya far enough??? What I mean to say is that he copped out and is allowing Anandi to facilitate financial support of GAGA. He is absolving himself from taking responsibility of it but at the same time is fully aware that his son is not destitute. Is he really, sincerely, as an upright man against his son or is the father subconsciously at peace that the son is not living in the streets?
In order for Bhairon to prove true repentance for initiating and conducting JAAN bal vivah, he has to take a more clearer stand on his own and not with Anandi's aid or in her shadow. He has to own it!!!
Do you guys agree????
