1.) He was married at gun point --> Forced event (Person Involved: Imlie)
He was raped under influence of nasha --> Forced Event (Person Involved: Malini)
2.) Was it Imlie's fault --> No
Was It Malini's fault --> Yes but for his sake lets say no.
3.) Did it break the promise he made to his partner --> Yes
Did it break the promise he made to his partner --> Yes
4.) Was he comfortable to visit the place where he was forced to break the promise with the person involved --> Hell, No
Was he comfortable to visit the place where he was forced to break the promise with the person involved --> Hell, yes
5.) What did he do --> Pushed back Imlie in every way possible because she reminded him of his failure, got married to Malini
What did he do --> Expected Imlie to understand the situation with zero effort from his side and having tea/Noodles with Malini in the very room where he was assaulted.
Then we say that his core character is same.
In point 1, he doesn't believe it is a forced event though it is initially by AC drugging them. He thinks he really slept with her thinking it is imlie so he takes equal responsibility along with AC, but MC is bekasoor. This negates the other points.
Even then, he should deal with AC the way he dealt with Imlie. He should berate her every time she comes in front of him but uska sharaafat bhar bhar ke nikal aata hain.
And he should treat M like he treated Amma - zero tolerance, ask her to not keep coming to his room, etc. Par ab voh iske bachhe ki ma hain so voh bhi nahi hota inse.
But point 4, not only does he feel comfortable that he chooses to stay on the same bed when he was kicked out of his office, but also wants imlie to live with him in the same room on the same bed. Matlab koi bhi aadmi itna bhi dumb nahi hosakta ki voh samajh hi na paaye ki inn sab ke baad uska biwi ko kaisa lagta hoga to enter that room, but chalo maanlete hain, phir bhi imlie me verbatim kaha ki it keeps reminding her of that night, phir bhi bandha is staying in the same room, working there only and having chai n stuff. Could someone do the honours of defending his actions here?
