This track, as I see it, is more about intrigue than anything else..having failed in their various other attempts to eliminate RNJ/ G, the conspirators are taking a rather extreme step here to avert the couple from consummating and taking the lineage forward..
I don't think this track is really about RNJ instrospecting...because, to me, he had clearly moved on the day he smiled on watching Bansi and Mala feed each other and proceeded to mimic their actions with G...
Assuming he had even been reminded of S, the fact that he went back to G and offered to feed her is huge...S's memory no longer had that kind of hold on him that it would make him shun G's company or proximity...
If he was not reminded of S, that is even bigger...that the demonstration of affection between a husband and wife did not remind him of S,...but instead made him offer the same token of affection to G, whatever be his triggers...
If at all this track is about underlining RNJ's emotions, it is about proving to him how far away he has moved from the idea of S...when a bangle could once evoke memories, a replica is not even disturbing him remotely now...irrespective of her being real or fake, he should have felt a certain confusion...he is not feeling even a bit of that...his confusion is only about how to do right by her...he has done what he could by way of restoring the crown to her...beyond that, he is neither willing to offer her emotions nor his proximity...! His biggest problem now is how to ensure that G is not hurt...how to do right by her...that seems to be eating into him far more than any thought of S...!
With both these points being proven, I really don' t see the point of extending this track now...high time they unmasked Jhumki...!
