There were lots of clues that this is where it was heading as he chose Kartavya time and again. As long as he is in this path I dont believe that he can see Radhika's POV nor can he do justice toher. If Dev feels RP and his married life cannot go hand in hand and he has to give up one to pursue the other, then that one has been taken out of the equation which is dharm.--i.e Radhika---who is also his wife.Now he can easily follow the path of kartavya without any obstacles or hurdles because the existence of Radhika would constantly remind him about the path he has chosen.If the above is true then he will apply sindoor on Barkha's forehead today in front of the society because she deserves justice for putting her life at stake for the sake of his family and it is his business to protect her. Probably he feels Radhika has his love which compensates for all that she has lost.He has segragated love and duty ---when it is love it is Radhika and duty constitutes RPti.. In this path he can do justice to only one but suffer for not choosing the truth and dharm.
