He won't allow Gopi to be subjected to unnecessary pain from his past. I also noticed he is only able to handle it cos he has gopi as his support .the thing I loved was him making an excuse of asking gopi for green tea when anita sed she wants to call nilesh , he wanted gopi to come out of the room with him and be wud him when he took the call . It shows he is reluctant to talk to anita and if he has to he wants his wife wud him.
