Actually two things come to my mind..
In such a crisis time, with kavin knowing that the hearing would come any time, how could he involve in such love javvu ???
Or is it that he wanted to do something or the other desperately to get sustained inside the house to earn the money..and which landed him into this flirtism..??
Which one the either of these two things has higher probability..?
He may not expected the judgement would come...as it seems the case started in 2007.
