No dear its not stupidity. Anu turning him down is secondary but the fact that he dint express himself is the regret. Anu saying no was definitely a possibility but Anuj not expressing his love is a reality that he is living with. so he is only guilty of something that could have been even if the chances of it happening was 1% but knowing he dint even try is what is eating him up for all these decades. Hope I could articulate it in a sensible way🤗🤗😋
Agreed, if you look from that perspective... Yes, that way he even blames himself for fight because of which he was in hospital for 10 days and reached on her wedding day..
Imagine the fiasco if for some reason he had seen a sad Anu and proposed her on her marriage..the bad name her family would have got..
Me being a practical person felt, in a way it was better for Anu that he didn't propose...her marriage was fixed anyways... Otherwise like ae dil hai mushkil during those 25 years she would have always compared and thought what if I had married Anuj then.. who knows she might still do now...
Also, being a man he doesn't understand the repercussions. Anu might have got scolding from her mother then. Recall her mother dialogues that they would lock the girl if a boy follows... His proposal then would have made things only worst for her...
Trust me, it's no joke. I have seen firsthand a girl being penalized because some guy in class fancy her. I know how scare she was, poor girl could never enjoy her college life.. we don't get this chance twice...till date, she has that regret of not being able to enjoy her college. How could one then differentiate Anuj from roadside Romeo..
