See when Kesar's pregnancy was revealed to SS she was asked to stop doing the house chores and everything became Prat's responsibility. This bothered Baba that is why asked her if she needed any help and take rest between the chores. He also suggested that if Amma questioned her she cld always say he stopped her.
Now we have seen in past that Baba is very impulsive and has innovative ways to solve his problems . Eg: Asking Nitin for the address with the intention of knowing why he was coming out of the Sucksenas or finding out Prats name at Sangam.
So when the pickle incident happened. He instantly thgt that if she was pregnant then she wldn't have to do the chores and that is why dragged Prats into the bedroom so that she wldn't ruin his plan even b4 he had implemented it. The impulsive nature of his didn't let him forsee the complications of this lie.
He did not share the plan with Prats because if he told her the plan she wld not cooperate with him as he knows that she has very high morals. He also realised that she cares for his family which he noticed from the things she did for Kesar Bhabi. That is why those excuses that he will lie as it makes his family happy. I think that is why he seemed so calm in the bedroom after coming back from the doctors
When Pratigya started making him see the complications of his lie, he must of realised it but I think his ego didn't let him give up so easily . The staement he made abt he will force himself on her to make his lie to truth was his comeback for what she said. I think he can see he is caught in his web of lies. He is angry that he is doing all this and he was getting cornered by everyone in the family and he can't even share it with anyone.
I am not denying that deep down he must have thgt and wished he will win over pratigya in the meantime and then the lie wld automatically become the truth.
He told her in y'days episode that he wldn't want anyone to interfere when he beats her and in today's episode he said that she is the only one who hasn't been hit. They have been made with ref to the situation of Amma getting beaten up but the cvs are slowly building up towards Krishna slapping her either on Fri episode or next week
What do u guys think? Does the reasoning fit with Baba's character? Do write your thgts
As a Krishna fan I hope this is the truth but u never know what the cv's want
