Part 2/8:
Ishaan is portrayed as an imaginative young boy who fails to conform to the conventional expectations of his academic environment. He finds himself at the bottom of his class, continually reprimanded for his alleged laziness and disruptive behavior. His troubles at school are compounded by his harsh home life, where he feels misunderstood by his father, Nandkishore, who is quick to discipline him without understanding the root of his challenges.
The contrast between Ishaan and his elder brother, Yohaan, further emphasizes Ishaan's struggles. While Yohaan excels in academics and sports, Ishaan grapples with feelings of inadequacy and isolation. His artistic talents become a rare escape, yet even that joy is stifled by his family's lack of understanding and support.
