Yess!! Kabhi kabhie, one of my favourite movies. Shashi looked dreamy on this one, no mention his character so funny, hyper, romantic and etc. Loved him .
Ohh!! The answers to the question:
- Amitabh respects her parents and their decision.
- He knows their choice will never be wrong in fact maybe better than him.
- He wants her parents happy and their honour will always be preserved, don't ask about Rakhi and her feelings. It is non existent.
- He doesn't want her parents to know that their daughter had loved a man and made a decision about her life without their permission. She should always be their little girl.
He made all this assumptions without even knowing her parents and made the decision to give up without trying.
I don't know why he even fall in love and be with her at all if he is so sansakar.
I guess he is a poet and he must have heard that to be the real poet, one should fall in love and most importantly get heartbroken.
This is the real reason he don't want to approach her parents.
You forgot to mention how he treats his wife Anjali(Wahida Rehman) like trash because he was never able to get over Pooja but becomes mighty upset with her when he finds out that even Anjali had a past and a daughter out of that relationship. I watched the movie as a teenager and even at that time his double standards and hypocrisy were hard to miss. On the contrary, I remember absolutely loving Shashi Kapoor’s character. I guess Pooja dodged a huge bullet which went and hit poor Anjali.
