he doesnt fit those only two categories of men on tv the softspoken and the other well ASR types π
He gives respect to his elders to his religion to his dad because his mom told so
hes scared of marrying because he doesnt want to do what his dad did
i think when he realises he loves kumud hopelessly already hes going to let go of that baggage
it depends actually if i was kumud i would be pissed like hell ya!! but once i come to know the dard as they say behind his rejection i guess i would understand and then make him fall for me kumud style!ππ
and this only because kumud seems like the girl who will get what she loves
though ya she will turn into the scarificial lot later on ππΌ accordinfg to the novel at least
