Here are a number of things I have noticed that I find confusing about neil:
1. Him being adamant to marry riya, completely ignoring her every wrongdoing in the name of 'innocence', that too, despite him still supposedly trying to get over the death of his girlfriend.
2. Him saying to ali that he has heard about the cases against dayavanti, but none of them were proven, so he doesn't like to judge.
3. His mysterious dead girlfriend, juhi, who he never really talks about.
4. Him saying that he looked at all the case files and doesn't understand how she escaped each time, which ultimately just seems to contradict what he said to ali about nothing being proven against them and he doesn't like to judge, because that dialogue that he said to nanno implies he is suspicious of the mehta's and skeptic whether she really was innocent, which is in contrast to the dialogue he had said to ali, which implied that he has faith in the judical system, and that if her crimes weren't proven, then it's probably not true.
5. Him refuting the words of everyone from his own mother, to his best friend and nanno just to marry riya, a girl he neither loves, or really knows, yet seems completely determined to marry her.
6. Seems a little too bothered when some problem comes in his wedding functions with riya. Why does he care if there is a problem that stops his wedding with riya?
A thought had come to my mind previously, that what if one of the cases was that of his girlfriend, juhi, or he suspects or knows that dayavanti was behind her death, but perhaps there may have been zero evidence against daya for it to materialise into an offical case, and maybe neil wants to get close to the mehta's to find out for himself?
But then again, there are two things that have always stopped me from disregarding this theory. One is the fact that his parents had bought the rishta of riya for him and convinced him for it after him at first refusing to the proposal and his mother at first telling him to forget his past and move on with riya. The second one is that his father has seemingly known dayavanti for years, as mr khanna's first scene was with daya where he said he owed everything he has to her, meaning she had at one point actually helped him to become rich. It's because of the two points that i am unable to believe that neil has some agenda or mysterious intentions behind marrying riya, and I feel it is simply just because his parents and he himself had promised to marry riya.
