Ansh is not married. The CV's don't consider him married, the characters do not consider him married, the producers do not consider him married, the director do not consider him married the actors/actresses do not consider him married. Or else they would not have advertised about the romance starting now. To be married and to respect that marriage, there has to be free will. Ansh himself does not remember being married and his DV also does not consider him married. If it gets out that Ruby mind controlled him into thinking they are married, the society too won't consider them married. It's as simple as that. And I think it will happen soon, Ruby's truth will come out soon. For us it's days and weeks but in the show, it's barely been 2-3 days.
If there wasn't so much happening at Rathore house, he would have sat down and thought then come to a proper conclusion on what was happening. He would have asked for a divorce if Pia had been single but he is feeling guilty and doesnot think he has a chance with her so he is quiet but must be thinking stuff through. It takes time to think and come to a conclusion regarding something like this because he thinks Ruby is a normal girl and getting the "marriage" annulled may ruin her life. Life changing decisions like these are not taken in less than a week. He will speak up soon but right now he thinks that Ved and his family too want him to continue the marriage so he is wondering about what to do.SBRK is a completely different story and situation. Like they say there's a zameen asmaan ka difference because Kunal-Mauli's marriage was not a sham. It was based on love and respect and trust. Kunal and Nandini are wrong because there was free will in Kunal's marriage with Mauli. That is not the case here. There's no comparison between Kunal-Mauli-Nandini and Ansh-Pia-Ruby.For example: If a guy mind controls you and makes you say that you want to be raped. Will it be rape or consensual? It's a harsh example, granted but mind control is no less than mental rape.I honestly don't understand why a mind controlled "marriage" is being taken as a valid marriage that needs to be respected and held to a high society standard. Ansh has been nothing but respectful and distant ever since he thinks he is married. He doesnot even look at her like a lovesick guy like he used to, he is actively suppressing his feelings. That close scene in Friday's episode was all DV and not Ansh. Ansh was just mad enough to grab Pia, then the DV took over and for the DV, Pia is his.
