@annika. I do hear you. But u r being a little too tough on Bhairon. He did deny Jagya any funds even as a loan and he tried his best to deter Anandi. But yes - here I do agree and have said so countless times that Anandi always clams up when she shud talk and interferes when she shud shut up ! Bhairon cud have added a caveat to Anandi saying - these r your funds - PROVIDED these funds can never in any way reach Jagya or help his stay in Mumbai... But Bhairon instead told her to use her judgement in doing as she saw fit. I hope she sees it fit to find some poor soul in the village who needs this money more than J 😉 - want to see his face when the monthly check doesn't come 😆

So many times as u yourself said - she will cover up all the faults SUPPOSEDLY to save them from a yelling. Other times she will butt in for Jagya's rights and Gauri's pain and other stuff - why does she not get told to buzz off - this is a dad deciding what to do about his son ? But the CV's have made her the tragedy queen. She is the Florence Nightingale - forever spreading kindness and pity to all and everyone has to listen to her and AGREE. I really dislike that. The middle generation too often has been made to behave like just an audience. Either DS talks or Anandi.

I hear you. I agree with what you say. But I still think Bhairon is not right. You also said he should have added a caveat which he didn't!

I think Bhairon has been tough in many things - like postponing Sugna's gauna much against Sugna's own will, DS, Sumitra and Sugna's in-laws who even threatened to break the marriage. Or sending Anandi away or not letting her and Jagya sleep in the same room when they were teenagers. Anandi's parents had also protested a lot and threatened dire consequences when he sent her to them. They had failed to see the reasons why he was actually sending her to them. Still in both situations he held his own and DID NOT BUDGE.

Why couldn't he take a strong stance here? In Jagya and money supply case? Or earlier in case of child marriage itself?

His own so-called stand or concerns as father or head of the family are weak and are on an on-off basis. It's like a tubelight whose starter has problems and whose light always keeps flickering!

Anandi's kasams or her butting in could have been dealt with if he had been more strict and tough.

But he has not been tough!
