From day 1 of their marriage he wants her to love him more than her mom, her brother, God. Gtfo man! In the movie, Madhuri's Radha had a struggling life and she shared that struggle with her younger brother who she was a mother figure to, and her friend Suraj. She has a different level bond with them and it is not that hard to understand why she has such a bond. But insecure Gopal can't tolerate it. How can you not remember what I like but you remember what he likes... Hmm let me think... could it be because she grew up with him? While you just entered her life yesterday, he has been a part of her daily life pretty much her whole life?
I don't justify toxic behaviors. The changing shirts in her she shares with another is of course a little too much. But still, they are doing it out in the open and they clearly have nothing to hide. It shouldn't be that hard to tell your partner hey you are a little too close to ___, such behavior makes me uncomfortable. I think Radha and Suraj both would've respected that. But Gopal's insecurities and jealousy were always on a different level where his mind often wandered off to gutter on its own. If I love my husband more than all my family members that is great, but for my new husband to expect to be loved over my parents who raised me and a sibling I shared my whole life with is a level of possessiveness that is ugly. And that is what Gopal's character was, UGLY!
