I personally think every mistake Aniruddh made was very humane and they helped him understand Bondita better and become a better care taker for her.
Everyone blaming ARC for his impulsiveness and rash decisions should not forget that his impulsiveness is the reason Bondita is alive and is Bondita Roy Choudhary. Anirudh trusting Soudamini over Bondita was expected during the track. Soudamini was his friend from childhood and Bondita is a child he had to marry in order to protect her.
Agreed, him throwing her out of the house was over the top but he was completely unaware of the treatment women receive if husbands abandon them. The track was important for Anirudh to understand that he already sees Bondita as family, a part of his life and it built the trust factor between them.
Coming to getting infatuated with the new girl or harboring feelings for her, I don't consider it as two-timing or him being cheap/disloyal. Bondita is a child whose emotional needs like taking care of her, listening to her is handled by Anirudh.
But ARC is 22-23. Bondita is not in a position to understand or take care of his emotional needs. Don't forget the harmonal changes which make men-women feel certain kind of physical attraction. Bondita doesn't feel lonely but Anirudh does. Anirudh will forever torment himself but will never cross the line with another woman as long as Bondita is his wife. But expecting him not to feel anything for any woman of his age is a bit too much.
Just reverse the roles. Bondita being a grown woman and Aniruddh being a kid. If she develops feelings for a matured, kind hearted man, won't the educated independent girls try to understand her predicament and emotions? Why not let the same understanding and empathy be extended towards Aniruddh?
I agree becoming a martyr without considering who will take care of Bondita was disappointing to hear. But it's expected from an impulsive guy like Aniruddh. For him to learn the next new lesson of his life, the lesson about the true meaning of love and his place in Bondita's life not just as a protector or mentor but as the most important person in her life, her support, her strength, her pati babu
Either many people have put ARC on a pedastal or has blind love for Bondita, that bash Aniruddh when he does something not expected from a perfect ideal man or that is not pro bon.
He does enough for Bondita and it's ok to be flawed and confused. He is failing and learning. There is a grace in his struggles. For me, Aniruddh is a very well written character, not only in male characters of itv but the best character in barrister babu as well.
