I think this way! See he sees himself pitted against a boy who is younger to him and might have similar mindset as his wife. His wife shares her feelings with that boy more than him. Moreover he doesn’t have the assurance of her love but has some hope that his wife might like him eventually. But now with ajinkyas presence, he is pushed to worry about his status constantly. It is all happening in his mind and he might be brushing it aside in the disguise of cute antics but it is affecting himself deep down. Now for a second, if it appears that she is having a relationship with that guy under his nose, he feels betrayed and verbally expresses his displeasure. That’s what he thinks: that she doesn’t find him attractive or eligible for her love . That is his insecurity and it comes out in the ugliest form by insulting her for her betrayal. This is absolutely wrong. But highly possible scenario.
(If you have seen Harry Potter 7th part, Ron’s insecurity is visually portrayed at its worst when he imagines his 2 best Friends making out. Your worst fears are ugly. )
Judging him for patriarchy based on this mistake is not correct. He is an emotional guy and loses his senses. If anything to be blamed then it is this characteristic of him. Will he do it again and again? may be he will. It is his trait. They will suffer because of this as a couple if he does it again. Everytime if ever it happens.
There is jealousy in Pakhi too, her actions are result of her jealousy, now if Ajinkya was around Virat, I have read things like he would kill people whose name start with "A", How is this kind of toxicity acceptable?
Jealousy is not cute, I can understand the feeling of insecurity and who doesn't have that? If he thinks his wife loves someone else then as a guardian, he should divorce her and give her a right to choose her life partner, weren't they forced to marry each other?
Doesn't he know that for his wife, this is a temporary situation?
He has patriarchal mindset, not judging from this one instance, look at the condition of women in ACP's house, his mother is victim of domestic violence, what has he done to help his mother? Isnt it bare minimum?
