Thinking deeper, there may be three reasons why RNJ did not play it as subtle as usual.a) Don't you keep talking a lot after an embarrassing moment? Excessively jumpy and skittish? To distract your own self and the other person? Maybe that was how he was playing it. RNJ was going the extra mile to distract himself and G from what had gone on between the two of them hardly minutes earlier...b) Maybe because it was meant to be a pronounced statement to the audience gathered there...be it the Kunwars or even the servants...these were the people in front of whom he had humiliated G...maybe he was trying to set the record straight in no uncertain terms...telling them she was his Queen, his wife, deserving of every courtesy and respect and that his eyes would be on her all the time! No body could get away with slighting her or harming her!It was also his way of initiating G into his world, to tell her that he would be by her side and hold her hand at every stage and that they would be fine together! To apologize to her through his courtesy and protection. There is no way that all of this can be done in any other but a pronounced way so the message goes across loud and clear!c) Maybe it was Sid's way of responding to the criticism on his emoting skills...he wanted to make it that much more pronounced so that he would be able to get the message across even to an audience that liked emotions underlined and spelt out..! Also maybe because he wanted to pitch it a notch higher since RNJ is on the path to being besotted..!
