Whether Asim is faking it with Himanshi or not, he is in a relationship with someone outside. Agreed, the relationship isn’t doing great, agreed that it has been on and off. But Asim should have waited till he leaves the house and officially calls it off with his girl friend before proposing to Himanshi. Any girl deserves that from her boy friend, even if their relationship has been on and off.
On and off means there is still some connection as boy friend and girl friend. It does not mean it’s off or over.
When it’s a marriage that isn’t working, isn’t it morally expected of the couple to divorce before entering into another relationship? If they proposed to someone else while still being married, would that not be considered cheating even though the terms between the couple have been sour? So why is the moral stand different to couples who are not yet married but are in a relationship?
Nothing wrong in Asim falling for Himanshi (if he truly has) even though he has an on and off girl friend outside. It’s proposing to her without calling it off with his girlfriend that’s making people question Asim’s intentions for Himanshi.
