Mamaji was my favorite character on Bidai. I loved his wisdom, strength of character, unconditional love for evryone.
But, lately, I've been feeling that he is being depicted as a rather spineless character vis-a-vis Mamiji's mean and cruel behaviour towards Sadhana. Mamiji's tirade is now open and visible to all. But, all Mamaji does is to shoot some pained glances towards her. It's almost as if he is afraid to rock the boat, for fear of raising Mamiji's ire. Almost like a uxorious, whipped husband. A person of his moral righteousness should be more active in protesting against your spouse's vicious behaviour.
Vasu's husband is much stronger and upright. He doesn't flinch to point out his wife's mistakes when occasions arise.

Yes, mamajee is resposible for kaushi's behaviour towards Sadi. He seems just helpless....... except few times he has never confronted her strongly. I would say he has confronted more strongly on issues related to ragini.

no i think he knows that watever he says will not change kaushi's attitude so why break yr head but i think once it goes out of hand he will speak up or take action instead of fighting regularly.

kaushi just grumbles but cannot take any desperate action so let her

I dont think Mamaji is quite the saint he was initially shown to be, absolutely.Its not even that he is a very non confrontational character. Mamaji has had no problems fighting very publicly with Vasu in the past. When his son and daughter was being threatened by Vasu, Mamaji was very active and protective of Vinu and Ragini, his own kids.

When it comes to Sadhna, the man is not quite such mahan father figure. He had no problem making Sadhna a paraya in one day for her marriage to Alekh. He felt bad later, sure, but do you see him doing the same thing to Ragini in the same situation? Ive never once seen him scream or shout at Ragini for anything, the way he did to Sadhna.

And now, with Mamiji, this is hardly new. Shes been a B***CH to Sadhna all her life, so Mamaji had plenty of opportunity ti teach her or threaten her or do SOMETHING. If shes such a good wife and mother, why cant he use that to teach her to be a good mami?

The issue is not that he is helpless, because he got Kaushi to agree to Ragini's wedding, and that vicious creep of a woman was also hell bent against that. Its that he doesnt want to create problems at home and Kaushi is an unpleasant woman and he just lets her get away with making Sadhna miserable, which he would never tolerate towards Ragini.

I think if he was constantly telling Kaushi, like Inderjeet ALWAYS does to Vasu, that she is wrong and awful and cruel, that would go a long way to keeping Kaushi's vindictiveness and cruelty in check. I do believe that he doesnt like Mamiji's behavour, but hes not going to do anything about it because Sadhna isnt his real daughter, no matter how much he claims she is. His actions (or lack of them) speak louder than his words.

Napstermonster.. I totally agree.
Mamaji's silent acquiescence to all of mamiji's cruel and venomous behaviour just goes to show that mamjaji is not this great, benevolent, righteous man everyone thinks him to be. If someone was behaving like this with Ragini, he would throw a fit, I am sure. But, because it is Sadhana, he can be all tongue-tied and brow-beaten.
Just compare his behaviour towards Malti, when she was not in his good books. He never thought twice about lecturing her in front of everyone. But, when it comes to Mamiji he suddenly becomes this helpless, docile character.

👏Very well said. Totally to the point. Specially where it is clear that mamijee can only get influenced by mamajee. Remember she was dead against Ragini's marriage to Ranvir but was influenced by mamajee to agree. Mamajee can change his wife's attitude if need be. He simply doesn't try. He is a hypocrite.
