But then there are certain facets of his personality which are still not well understood or rather is difficult to understand. As a Mukhi he is strict and stringent in enforcing laws and righteousness.
And today we also saw this stubborn unrelenting and unforgiving Mukhi. I say Mukhi coz as a brother he is most loving and endearing. As a husband, he will be most understanding, caring, and doting. We know that. Hence, i think that there is something that is very uncompromising for Mukhi in conduct of both Aru and Mishri that is not well understood by us. This decision of Mishri and Aru in that sense is unpardonable and requires a corrective action on his part he feels (as he had done with Rami). In part it has definitely something to do with the injustice meted out on Aru due to Mishri's foolish doting love for her brother. But mostly i think this has something to do with his decision on Rami, its impending ramifications on Saanvi, and the upcoming more tough decisions that must take as a result of it.
Also, I think he is well aware of Rami's pain and disappointment with him over that decision. I believe that might also b a reason why he remained unmarried for so long.
Also as a Mukhi he is quite an authoritarian, more so because he strongly believes that the welfare of those under his custody is both his duty and responsibility, both as a head of his family and village head and he is quite rigid and uncompromising in that role. I think that is the main bone of contention betn him and Rami.
Its same case with Aru at a smaller level and scale (he favors justice for her, also wants her wellbeing over customs), but we know Aru is a free bird, its difficult to get obedience out of her unless she wishes to relent willingly. She is also adorned with other impressive, adoring, and revering characteristics, which is hard for Mukhi to ignore, apart from her child-like innocence, cute mannerisms, emotional naivity. His dialogues to her clearly showed how correctly he had adjudged her character. Oh! How well has Mukhi understood her so far. He might have wanted her to believe otherwise and questioned her ethics time and again, but we know he can never question her integrity and her good intentions behind her "stupid" rash decisions.
But Mukhi on other hand is a closed deep and complex person. It will take a lot of time and patience to really get into his heart. Aru has already undone him in many ways but as we have seen in recent episodes, he can be one stubborn guy with rigid thoughts and strict value system and hence, its still long way to go for Aru in completely understanding Mukhi. But I hope Aru brings a fresh perspective in rigid Mukhi's life.
There are lot of unsolved complications in Mukhi's life that r yet to be shown to us as a viewers, for eg the foremost question of Rami, the role of Jailbird Lalji, his equation with the ex-mukhi's family and yes those worn torn boots (which i m most eager to know out of all. It has been highlighted since epi 1. He never changes them and he even wore them during thr mrg function.)
But we know how capable and ingenious Aru can be, especially when it comes to problem solving. Mukhi may not agree with her ways, but the girl definitely has quick wits, is a smart thinker who tackles problem heads on, has a positive outlook towards life, is a forward looker who doesn't lose hope or faith in herself in adverse of situations and most importantly she still has that innocence to put trust and faith on people around her, in spite of her bitter experiences with life and people at such early age.
She is definitely diametrically opposite to Mukhi in many ways, but at core, they share same fundamental beliefs and values which pulls them towards each other. 😳
