I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

No disrespect meant here. But that would be a waste of time. Unless you are in academia. There is no point for a phd in comms. It would not bring any value to your career financially or otherwise.
You’d be better off going to therapy to work through your family issues.
Why the hell would you get a PhD?

Curious what you need to prove to your family that requires a Ph.D? My guess is, even if you got this degree, it wouldn’t prove anything to them and you would be out at least $20k. If you are talking about such an advanced degree, you want to get that for you, not for someone else.
My opinions:
Determining if it’s a “smart” career move depends on what you want to do with your career.
You don’t need a Ph.D for most communication or PR roles within a business or organization. So is it smart to get one if you want to go lead communications for a corporate business? I’d say likely no.
When we talk PhDs, those are needed if you want to go into research in the communication field OR teaching. Both very needed and worthwhile endeavors. If that’s your career aim, then yes it is a smart career move.
Only get a PhD if you want to do research/stay in academia or if it’s required for your career track. The later is really only applies for STEM work and the former doesn’t seem to be the case for you.
You should also only ever get a PhD if you’re being paid by the university to do so - meaning you can’t do it part time. You’d be setting back your career and earnings by at least half a decade if you do a PhD full time.
Well, unless you are wanting to go into a research role or move into teaching at the university level then getting a phd probably is not the best move you. Although it might allow you to put off paying any student loans you may have for awhile.
