You know, my dear Ranjana, that is a very interesting explanation of Chandra 2's abominable behaviour, but there is only one thing not quite watertight in it.See, even last night, when he is praising Helena for being so understanding, he is on the lookout for Nandini's jealous reaction, and she duly obliges.Again, if he is convinced that she loves Malayaketu, how can he explain to himself her almost constant way of looking at him with eyes filming over with unshed tears whenever he has been extra obnoxious? Or the little girl lost look with which she regards him as he comes to close the door of the room after she has finished the sej sajana business? He has to be blind not to interpret all that for what it is, a longing for him to care of her and acknowledge that she is important for him.I thought that Ranjana's theory explained why he is forever snarling and angry at her. I mean, it makes sense. you feel fooled and thus angry that you would, let your guard down and allow yourself to be vulnerable, only to have the other not loving you. It explains his anger. But not his stupidity i must admitNo, he is just plain dumb, insufferable, and cheap to boot. He actually lets this girl he has married go away from the palace with nowhere to go to, at night, and he can actually argue with himself that he had done the right thing! 😡It is incomprehensible, that an honourable man can do anything like that. I suppose he thinks he is following in the footsteps of Lord Rama in the Uttara Kanda, but then Lord Rama never believed that Sita was guilty of anything.In fact aunty, how he has been behaving is the total opposite of what Chanakya would have thought him all his life - to be respectful to woman, and be responsibleThen his memory is shorter than Aamir's in Ghajini. It is he who announces that he does not and will never acknowledge Nandini as his wife. Then, in the corridor, he solemnly tells her that she is his wife regardless of how she feels it to be a humiliation! I simply could not comprehend how the chap's mind works.He is becoming the female mahaan of Chandra Nandini, not because he is a mahaan, but because almost all the lead females will feel righteous what they do and will always forget that they too would have done something wrong, or perhaps how their spouse behaved was in reaction to their action. He first told her that he will never acknowledge her, subsequent to which only she utter to being humiliated to be his wife. And now he seems to have forgotton what he has done and gone back to 'i am doing my duty' mode. Lord have mercy on us!And what was that about a vivaah viched? He must be suffering from a Jalal hangover and the talaq idea. There was no way, before the Hindu Marriages Act of 1956, that there could be any divorce in a Hindu marriage, just as in the Catholic Church. So much of ill informed nonsense!It another stupidity Gem by Chandra. Should start a book on it now.To round things off, he suddenly comes up to her and informs her that main tumhein chahta hoon! What does he expect her to do? Grrr...Well, I am going to stop before I get set on this track! Bye for now, kid, and you take care too! Your culinary adventure had me in splits.😆Shyamala Aunty
