Thank you shrutiravi.π
Yes eldest one has expectations too. I think Goenkas had expectations from Shaurya which os why they often cry, shout or even slap him at times for not being a good heir. But their problem is that they again leave it at that and let him be than correct him. They think he will perhaps himself change one day or at times Rajnath thinks he should do whatever he likes but learn to be covert like him.
I am also elder and I was pampered but yes there were responsibilities on me to take care of younger siblings, be a good example for them and often if they blundered I was questioned how I let it happen!
The responsibility was put here on Dev but not Shaurya. His family kept pampering him, saying this was all his, he had nothing to worry as they were with him and he was a Goenka.
Scolding once but covering up later will never let a child learn. Infact during rape case cover up they, especially Rajnath took Shaurya along to threaten lawyer etc. They showed him how they covered up, introduced him to those men who did underhand dealings. They set worst example. After that Shaurya started meeting people himself and ordered them what to do.
They keep no tabs on money he withdraws either. Deepika Padukone was describing once how her parents still monitor her expenditure though she has started earning herself. That's what responsible parenting ought to be.
Regarding mentality, I feel somehow families give too much leeway to boys. Boys' bad habits, coming home late, getting drunk or abusive is questioned less or not questioned at all. They are mostly like, Let young boys be!
These business families are regressive and feudal. They place great premium on boys as inheritors who will carry forward legacy and expand empire.
Raj and Sakshi are crazy about Shaurya and their instincts disappear when it comes to identifying his lies. They easily believed his fake certificates and never thought how could he get so much marks if he didn't study at all! They still do not suspect his paralysis might be fake.
Rajnath was too busy in business and fun with Raima to focus on family. Imagine using all free time with mistress and drinks! Useless, uninvolved father who only gave material joys to kids.
Sakshi was too busy in cover ups of past, enjoying new status, scolding but falling back to pampering to really discipline kids. Over pampering, over protective useless mother.
The fact that they never got along, fought openly in front of kids and always contradicted each other in front of kids also ensured kids never took either of them seriously.
They think their parents are just nagging pricks who can be manipulated easily.
