Does Dharmesh love Madhuri?

I was under the impression that his love affair with Madhuri was an one-night stand which resulted into an offspring. If I'm not wrong, Dharmesh seems to show affection towards Madhuri to this day. They showed this one scene where they slept on the same bed. Also Madhuri said that she was upset with Dharmesh when she found out he got married for the second time. In fact, she didn't talk to him for a whole month after. SO THEY WERE TOGETHER? I'm soo confused! Why did he keep Madhuri and his son a secret? Couldn't he have brought her to his house as the bahu? Help me out guys. I could use a little bit of clarification. 😆

no pandora they were married...in fact..i think are still married because dharmesh said a while back that vaishali was the illegitimate one not madhuri... i think he shows more affection towards madhuri than towards vaishali and thought he should go back to her...but now that madhuri has "had enough" it may never happen... we are still in the dark about why he abandoned her and married vaishali....the cv's have kept a lid on it from the beginning...articles but not the actual story were what led us all to believe at first it was a one night stand..but right after that the track made it clear they are in fact married... (madhuri & dharmesh) it could have been a class/caste issue...while V was also a lower caste, madhuri is a punjabi kudi ? i think which may be even more problematic for the snobbery of the upper castes....(i think kudi is the same as kurdish but not sure...and the kurdish people are very beautiful sweet people but discriminated against all over the world.... so its all very disgusting this class/racial/caste issue). but we don't know for sure why he left her...however apparently did it right after she lost her parents...(nice guy)..

i hope they will continue to unfold the story...cvs sometimes leave us hanging forever... i really like madhuri...she deserves something better than dharmesh...!! but maybe he could reform for his child varun...and who knows madhuri may be pregnant now as they tried...(you knew madhuri asked because of varun's illness, right?)

anyway stay tuned. 😉

Naava, thank you so much for your input. 😊 I think when Dharmesh said Vaishali was illegitimate it was meant as a bluff to scare Archana into not revealing his secret. Also, Dharmesh was about to marry another girl before Vaishu crashed his wedding. He was intending to take up another wife, regardless. What about Madhuri? He openly declares his love for Vaishali whenever he is with her. Do Dharmesh and Madhuri have a mutual understanding that there's no love between them? He was willing to marry a stranger his parents picked out for him over his first wife.

Yes I am aware that Varun's illness is the reason for Madhuri sticking around. This is why I'm questioning whether or not Dharmesh and Madhuri love each other. Is it just obligation on both their parts?

EDIT: I forgot to add, the reason Dharmesh shows more "affection" towards Madhuri could be that she's a lot more mature and reasonable whereas Vaishali was always so demanding. Madhuri's demands are so selfless and rational that it'd be difficult disagreeing with her. She's also very patient as she doesn't instigate arguments and knows what to say. In the past, Vaishali said whatever was on her mind whereas Madhuri barely spoke out. I wouldn't call it affection as much as just agreeing with Madhuri's logic.

hi pandora...i dont think dharmesh was bluffing that time (i know that's what most everyone thinks) but when dharmesh lies he sweats, looks nervous and rubs the back of his hand across his mouth ..(maybe a subconcious move to "wash his mouth out with soap!!) 😆 that time he was very straightforward and it was a real threat... if you do this archana you will be opening an (omg..hhhhhh i can't say this now... pandora's box!!!!!) I KNOW HOWEVER PANDORA THAT THE ORIGINAL MEANING OF THAT PHRASE WAS FOR HOPE AND GOODNESS NOT THE WAY IT'S USED TODAY....is that why you chose that name? for hope and goodness?) 😳

it's weird cause it seems that his parents don't know about madhuri...maybe they do but don't know there is a child... please CV's fill us in!!!...

it does seem he's affectionate to madhuri to a point but when he was "lectured" he let her have it and was rude so i think he's just an opportunist..incapable of really loving anyone...except i do think he cares genuinely about varun....the child may in the end be his savior - the one who turns him around...and that's interesting too because Vaishali's child with him was only a waaris for the business...a role that Varun won't play apparently...i don't know...what do you think?

You might have a point, Naava. Love how you described Dharmesh's behaviour to a tee 😆 At the same time, the matter might be so grave as in life and death that he was able to keep his composure. They say when you are facing great danger, adraneline takes effect. Let's not underestimate his capabilities. He's very clever and slick. I mean he fooled not 1, not 2, but 3 GORGEOUS girls into wanting to marry him! 🤣The girl he left hanging at the mandap is the luckiest of all 😆 (I heard this from another member on this forum)

It may seem like Dharmesh is being affectionate to Madhuri when in reality it could be that she's just a lot more tolerable. She's very quiet and only speaks when she has something to say whereas Vaishali will say whatever pops into her head. Madhuri's demand are so reasonable that it's hard to refuse. She's just more mature all around.

LOL i love how you incorporated my name into your sentence 😉You're the first to comment on this but the reason I chose this name was because I'm fascinated with Greek mythology (or any ancient mythology for that matter). Pandora's box is very intriguing to me and it's partly because I wanted to showcase my rebellious streak 😉 😆.
