Infidelity is the WORST BETRAYAL in a relationship.
Infidelity is extremely hard to recover from (forget that it happened with one's own sister and ll the complications therein). We know this from numerous examples in real life. Some people do stay in their marriages, but it is because of kids or financial security or societal stigma of a divorced woman. But life and love are never the same again. Bitterness and cynicism that enters the relationship is of immense proportion.
Physical relations is THE most intimate act between a man and a woman. If there is a love bond, then the expectation is there that it will only be between the two of them. A third wheel, even if it for one night with no emotional relationship, is hard to absorb. Even in the case of swingers, where people sleep with others with permission of their other halves, there is lot of psychological damage that is inflicted. When studied deeply, it is found that one dominant partner convinces the reluctant on swinging. The resulting fallout is usually tragic.
Secondly, it is not a question of ek bhool. It would not be "ek bhool" if Indira slept with Sam. It would be extremely hard for everyone to absorb, even if Rishi accepted Indira.
Thirdly, there is never the case of man being seduced. He has to be a willing partner just because of his physiology. There is a biological reaction, but barring him being tied down and woman doing the deed herself, it is very hard to convince people that the man was innocent. For females, it is a different story as even comotose women get raped.đĄ
Fourthly, in the precap, it was shown that the man was being an active participant in the act of seduction of Mandira. So, this is NO INNOCENT bhool.
Having said that barring some strange somersaulting by the CVs, I do not believe that the man in teh scene was Rishi. I can imagine him getting the blame, but not doing the act
