I agree with this. Much as I love Aditya, I think he was wrong not to read the letter, and then to lie about it to Priya.
A) story-wise, there was nothing in the letter that was going to adversely affect Adi-Priya AT THIS MOMENT. She did not know the name of the "bade sahib", so, from a creative point of view, there would have been no harm done to make Adi read the letter. The real stinger will come anyway when Priya and Brahmanand recognise each other.
B) if Adi's love for Priya really is that strong, and his claim that "nothing in her past can make me change my mind about her", then what is the harm in reading it?! To me it felt like he was making the excuse because he was worried that something MAY change his mind.
At the end of the day, the real reason for him not reading it was that the story could not develop without a few future misunderstandings. There's more potential, drama-wise, if he doesn't read it. So I get that part of it, even though it disappoints me. The story potential that exists, when Aditya is forced to face the facts about his father, and perhaps choose between the girl AND the dad he loves beyond reason - that potential will make for exciting and explosive storylines. SO I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, even though all this proves that poor communication will always lead to misunderstandings.
btw, just wanted to say hi to everyone - I'm new to this forum but not to IF. I used to be very active on IF in the past but left a few years ago because my favourite shows ended. Maryada is the first show in four years to interest me enough to come back😊
