You can't blame people for wondering ..his being extra indulgent with Mallika to the point of being insensitive to Nidhi's pain at times makes you wonder...also, his naivete or gullibility or call it whatever you will is kinda surprising...today, he actually admitted that Mallika's words and actions were not likely to make much sense since she was mentally ill.,..and yet, he appears to believe the same words...
Be that as it may, why did he ask Nidhi to be a brave girl today? When do you ask someone to be brave? Only when they are faced with adversity or threat! So, what is the adversity that Nidhi faces? Is it Mallika? Does that mean he recognizes that Mallika is trouble? Does that then mean he knows she is faking and that he is faking too? Like Nidhi, I too am confued. Can someone help? Whatever, just don't tell me to be brave!
