well beyond interest. even pagaal babu abhi would not do all this for mere interest. BUT oh that reminds me of what i wanted to say with the last point - another word that came to me was attachment. if he feels attachment for her, not even his guilt could make him let her go.
all this just makes me feel better about the idea that he's doing something and he's not planning to let her go at all :D
but how does the melodrama of fire and kidnappers fit into it, uff -_-
