Even if (for some godforsaken reason) he wanted to pull this dumb prank on Pallavi, did he not think she'd tell Jaya and Kirti?
It's so out of character. It's insensitive as a prank to begin with, but even more with what this family has already suffered. His mother has lost a son before. His sister has lost a brother before. His wife has lost a husband before. He's extremely cognizant of all of their losses and pain and grief and trauma.
He values family and their happiness way too much to get cheap thrills out of something like this. No matter how I look at it, I'm just not able to buy it. Feels like a different character altogether.
On top of that, he won't finish justifying himself because Pallavi's going to shut him up and talk about her feelings. So no closing the loop there. Even if his character did so, it shouldn't be let go with just a wrap on the knuckles. This is serious stuff. Writers need to stop sabotaging their own work.
I think her comment about pretending to be dead is going to come back to bite him later.
