Yeah we all knew he didn’t do the deed so yes physical cheating was never a possibility but yes by all means he cheated on Pals emotionally by keeping her in the dark and by taking advantage of her blind trust . IF she knew about his situations she wouldn’t have brought E into the house in the first place . Now whether she would’ve stayed with him after knowing the truth or not that’s different context altogether but she had every right to know and RR denied her of of that right and that’s cheating .
I wouldn’t say RR did nothing else other than hiding the truth bcoz the way he misbehaved with her and made her have a doubt herself with his constant rejections was actually mental abuse which he did to his wife multiple times with the excuse of guilt . Now that same guilt Infact made him get close to the woman he committed the mistake with and be her pillar of support as well as her protector and comfort pad and that’s not something I could just ignore . Yes he did wrong with Pallavi on multiple levels and so far he did nothing to prove that he’s changed for good .
I don’t get it . How the makers are hell bent to ONLY nullify the physical part of cheating and feel that could redeem RR completely . Now E has backtracked and trapped RR that’s why he’s getting the chance of getting redemption even bcoz IF E was feeling content of being the other woman in RRs life as she suggested b4 and didn’t do all the kaand she did now then Pals would’ve had a sautan in her life workout her knowledge even . At one point RR was shown to be pretty comfortable with 2 women around him in his house and he actually thought that he’s going to keep it that way only . As in keeping Pals in the dark while Being friendly with E . I don’t think that would’ve been respectful for Pals or any woman in her place .
Just my POV
