I feel compelled to write this after today's episode.
For a long time I've intentionally prevented myself from wholeheartedly praising, and supporting Bhairon because I always felt that even though his heart is in the right place, he never (most of the time) translates his good intentions into COMPLETE actions. He always supported Anandi's education but cowered in front of DS's and Basant's wrath. I felt like he was always weary of going all the way to bat for Anandi. The same can be said, when it came to punishing Jagya, he relented rather quickly in front of anyone who stood in his way, be it Anandi, DS, Sumi or Basant. I always felt he lacked the staying power of sticking to his guns because of this. The other issue that didn't resonate with me was the fact that he never once, in the past, sit down and have a heart to heart with Jagya. He never counseled the boy. It was always reprimand and punish or ignore.
NOW, however, my opinion has changed. I am loving this Bhairon that clearly shows such growth in his character. The first time he sat with Jagya after the MS was complete, he caught my attention. The second time he met Jagya at the Mandir and listened to him without any preconceived bias, he hooked me and today when he met Jagya in jail and assured him that his father is with him, he sealed the deal for me. This to me is a complete parent.
He has not lost sight of the predicament Anandi is in, and he is not blinded by one child over the other. His talk with Jagya clearly showed the contrast in his mindset not only with Sumitra's mindset but also the Shekhars.
The Shekhars have made Saanchi such a priority in their lives that they are ruining their son's marriage.
Bhairon, take a bow. Today I wholeheartedly praise you and love the role model you are being for dads out there.
