Mihir shouldn’t get a clean chit because this time around he’s not committed physical infidelity surely. The fact that things got to the point where Mihir himself was able to buy that he had slept with Noina tells you a lot.
He didn’t just humiliate her and manhandle her, he allowed another woman into their marriage to interfere and influence him and his marriage so much that he had no reason to think he could be innocent himself.
Mihir is no 20 something or 30 something guy who can be still considered young and stupid where he didn’t know that a line must be drawn between his friends and marriage, especially when said friend is of the opposite gender too. Had Tulsi become close to say some old school or college friend she met after decades and had a similar encounter with him, would Mihir be understanding? Would be take her back even if she was innocent of cheating on him physically as well?
