I understand Ram is not a fool to not know the difference between the love of Nandini and Meera.
At Priya’s house he presents to be a small kid who longs for all the pampering given to him by Meera maa and Sara di, he makes the feed him and just allows them to spoil him just the way his own mother would have done and with Nandini he is more formal, he just respects her just because he promised to his father, he just fulfils the duty of a good son and just takes the small portions of love given to him in bits and pieces
because he thinks even that is their generosity, but at Priya’s place he throws all the tantrums just like a kid.
some some things to make my point cear
1. He forced to do the gruhapravesh rasm to him at her house
2. He never eats which his own hand he always allows Meera to feed him and enjoys alll the attention given to him by Sara di,
3. When ever he fights with Priya he ends up in her house rather going somewhere else.
4. Finally he really ment those words which he spoke during their first interview on tv.
