But just think, Naku knows that Dutta still thinks of her as a bretrayer. She also knows that he has no feelings for her and he wants to get rid of her as soon as possible. Sure she loves him, but there's absolutely nothing for her to gain or lose by telling him. In her mind its better to let him stay in the dark about her fairness because she doesn't want him to really come to know of her true betrayel.
But here's the thing....I don't really think that Naku has done any betraying at all. When she originally saved him from the bullet wounds, there was no reason to tell him anything. Then when he put her up in his house as a servant, again there was no need to take off the colour. She didn't want Moray to find her again....and its not like she had any allegiance to Dutta. She falls in love with Dutta, but knows that he doesn't love her, again no reason to take off the colour because she doesn't want to use her looks as a way to get his attention. She's no conyving, she not a manipulative person.
Now he marries her, again not by her choice...he punishes her....she's helpless and then he sets her free. AGAIN......there is no reason there for her to tell Dutta the truth. He know thinks she is a dhookebaaz and she doesn't want to give him any more ammunition until she can proove her innocense.
I have yet to hear of one good reason for Naku to tell Dutta the truth. She has nothing to gain by doing that at this time. Dutta hasn't declared his love....if he does, then she should tell him right away and give him the reasons for why she wore the mask, but until that happens Naku is absolutely right in not telling Dutta because Dutta has done nothing for Naku to trust him with this secret. She thinks he'll hate her even more and his actions all point in that direction.
Lets' remember we know that Dutta cares for Naku but she doesn't know it. Dutta's consistent message to Naku has been that she is being sent away from his life forever once they return home. That's hasn't changed since the jungle .......
