But to give due where it is Dev actually put in a lot of effort to cook the murighonto. For a vegetarian, myself being one, cooking fish , that too Bengali style, I can empathize with him here completely. He did put in a lot of effort, coming out of his own comfort zone...probably I would say he did something selflessly for Soha.
When you put in such effort, it hurts. It will definitely hurt a lot.
