So what's new? I have said it before and I am saying it again, Arjun became puppet the day he fell for his family's blackmail. His father blackmailed him with fake heart attack and his mom blackmailed him with fake concern. Between the two of them, they sucked out his brain and personality.
I tell you Arjun's parents have the perfect example of Passive- Aggressive tactics. One parent threaten, blackmail, intimidate and the other cries, coddles and emotionally manipulates.
Arjun's father always bad mouths Poorvi and threaten her family and Arjun's mother always praises her and shows herself as an ally.
But is she an ally to Arjun or her husband?
This is a woman who never likes to change the status quo. She wants everything to remain the same. That's why she was so concerned when she learned that Arjun fell in love with a strong woman like Poorvi because she knew Poorvi won't put up with the status quo. For that reason, once Arjun's uncle accused her once that, "You were so busy following your husband's orders that you forgot to be a mother." And I think he was bang on.
Arjun can never go against his family because every time his temper boils, his mother is there to hug, pet, praise Poorvi and remind him what a great decision he made.
This lady never lets him doubt his decision by constantly reminding him why he took that decision even though his aim to keep Poorvi happy and smiling went down the drain.
I mean I don't blame her. She has no life outside her husband and family. So it's in her best interest to maintain the status quo.
But CVs would portray Tanu not only to be smarter than Arjun, but also as the puppet master and Arjun as her puppet, it was beyond acceptable. It's almost as undignified as watching a Tiger licking a boot.
