I thought he was straightforward and sensible in his convo with Maitri, I didn’t see any lack of coherency. He acknowledged that he was wrong in keep loving V after marriage, and he conveyed his disbelief in Maitri marrying Neeraj in a diplomatic way. The topic was sensitive, but he conveyed his opinion without being hurtful.
He was very straight forward and honest in his talk with Maitri. I liked him there and this is why I think they are showing why Pri actually trusted him in this whole issue. As in the bakery, Sara told Pri that Ram didn't hid her with this matter as she knew it for a long time (though she didn't say since when Pri asked).
Plus, I think Pri is intelligent and she understood that even though V was living under the same roof, Ram and she came really close to each other. I loved she stayed back today at SH just so that she can process the entire thing and not get physical with him without her processing it.
