Peter, Iqbal, and Avinash each display distinct perspectives on confronting authority, revealed through their responses to Shruti's dilemma with her father.

Peter adopts an avoidant approach. When Shruti arrives, he deflects the conversation by saying, "Tell us later. Let's start practice first." This suggests he prefers to postpone difficult conversations with authority figures rather than confront them directly, indicating a value for harmony and avoidance of conflict.

Iqbal, in contrast, advocates for direct confrontation with authority. He encourages Shruti by saying, "All ways are right ways, Shruti. He is your father, he will understand." Iqbal believes honest communication will lead to understanding. His casual attitude towards scolding—"I basically have a little bit of scolding for breakfast every day!"—shows he is comfortable with authority and doesn't fear their disapproval.

Avinash shares Iqbal's view but with more pragmatic reasoning. He states that by not talking to her father, Shruti is "making matters worse." He believes the worst outcome is just a scolding, and that her father will "eventually come round." This reveals Avinash's practical and optimistic nature, believing that truth and patience will win over authority.

These differing attitudes highlight how each character values either avoidance, trust in relationships, or practical honesty when dealing with authority.
