He is trying to test her patience LOL!! I am sure he wants to see how much Manu is willing to stop herself from considering herself as maddhav's wife. He will remind her every now and then how she doesn't give importance to their marriage and the bond they tied together. Their interactions will be one roller coaster ride.. But I'll miss madhav and manaswani after they die. They are so intense :(
Even I felt that he is behaving like a husband but in the precap when he said Manu will take the belongings of Rooplekha to the room I thought ye kuch jyada ho raha hai..but anyway whatever may be the plan we may have some good moments between them. Their love will blossom further...
