the wife was independent in some ways and didn't really need him. he was kind of drifting and when this other woman came into their life, for some absurd reason, the wife pushed them together by constantly making him help her. what many women don't realize is that for some men, the protective instinct is the trigger to falling in love. while some men prefer their women to be independent (because it helps them to not get so stressed to be one responsible for it all), other men want to be in protector mode because it makes them feel needed, feel like a man.
basically this guy had no voice in this house of 3 very domineering women -- wife, mother and grandmother. with the other woman, he found someone very soft and she leaned on him. he was a man in their relationship and got to lead things and decide. so things were slowly happening and then when he saw her in the rain dancing joyfully, it burst into love -- this feeling of being free to express yourself and joy even amidst difficulties -- that is what she represented to him.
thats why I say it was actually complex but the writing was so dumb that it seemed like he just loved her kheer and dancing. 🤷
