And the CWC angle is to only bring out how narrowminded and low thinking some of the people can be... be it City bred or village bred...my reference here is to Khusboo and CWC.
Notice the line that Akshay tells her...Ab mujhe pata chala Shaan tum logon ke saath itna khush kyon hai... he understood the pure heartedness of these people....atleast Khanak and her... and I think... that endeared him to them as well...notice he is the one who warmed to them... as well after Shaan!
Just my 2 cents!
