He has some issues but unclear as to why he has a vendetta against whom. Sometimes its SS bit more than SS, it feels like K he has an issue. He wants to fight for his mother's position. But what position is that? Is it her position or his insecuritirees, the issues? ASY as it seems had a comfortable life, in the sense he lived in the Haveli, albeit as a servant's son but all expenses were paid and he gained an education with TN money. No basic struggle for survival. He has been in a better position then some would have been otherwise. Wants his motive? He wants a father's name on his birth certificate or when filling forms he does not want to keep the father' section blank or he wants love from SS and that SS recognises him as his son? Would his life been any better had SS been part of it?

She seemed to have the freedom to raise her son and more importantly give him the most valuable thing, an education so that ASY can make a name and identity for himself. Had she lived with SS, then her condition would have been the same as amma. What is more important to her? Winning the hearts ot TN and having a position in TN or seeing how and realising that she got a better deal despite giving birth to an illegitimate son.
My question is are their lives better off without the Takur attachment? Would ASY been treated the same as KN had he grown up with SS? Would he have resented K for being the ladla? Would ASY too. Turn out as a goon? Should we be grateful to our own lives, no matter how imperfect it is or have gratitude that it could have been much worse
