Umashankar is really a complex character. The man can be ruthless (in the name of dharm) forcing an unknown girl to get married to him, or can be as gentle as possible to even shield her from the sun rays falling into her face?? Nowadays most of the husband's won't even notice that 😆
For the world around him, he is a man of principles and religious beliefs who is always firm in what he has decided and according to them he is flawless... That's why the whole Ladnun criticized Kanak when she refused for marriage by saying that she is making a grave mistake by pushing away the good luck she will have by marrying Umashankar...
He secretly got attracted with the unknown, unseen girl whom he recognized everytime perfectly by her sandalwood fragrance...
When she came face to face with him, he just couldn't take his eyes off her...as per him, the day and muhurt/time was auspicious and he decided to get married to her then itself as God has given him the signs by binding them in varmala and filling her head with vermillion by his hands...
But she refused... He tried to reason with her patiently on how God gave signs everytime they came across each other that they are made for each other... she kept refusing him and rebutting his stupid beliefs by her rational thinking ( I agree) ...
When she was trying to leave for the last time, he got desperate and told her not to go like that & to understand the signs given by God... She again refused and asked him to get married to someone else if he is so interested to marry...
Finally that man had a moment of weakness... He didn't want to let her go... He was sure that this moment is given by God to get married to the girl he was secretly in love with or attracted to... She just didn't listen to his reasons...
So he got more desperate yet firm that only she can be his life partner... He had an idea that if he lets that moment go, maybe in future if again him & Kanak cross paths of each other, she will run away from him as she now recognizes him... That could have hurt him more... So in a moment of weakness, he told her firmly that he has chosen her and God has given him signs that only she can be his life partner...
He picked her up, and went straight to the Mandap to get married in the auspicious time...she slapped, bit, pleaded him so that he will let her go but he kept walking, holding her in his strong arms as he didn't want to let her go away from him this time...
He kept the firm attitude throughout the ceremony, showing that he is in charge... When Kanak ran away, he was sure that she will come back to him in anyway as this is God's will...
She was forcibly brought to his house, bound and gagged, that softened him although he very well pretended to have ice cold attitude...
He wiped her tears and unbound her gently, yet firmly notified her that they are together for seven births and this bond cannot be broken... He didn't drink water as she didn't, he didn't sit as she was standing, he didn't enter house as she didnt and asked others in his way, not to force his wife...
He shielded her from sun rays falling into her face in the most gentle and adorable way, but could not understand what she is going through...
I think Kanak will run away as he is unaware of her identity or family... He will search her badly and then will try to connect to dots by taking steps backwards to find her... This is how he is going to land in Pushkar and coincidentally will end up in Kara's house... From here, he will have a difficult journey to win Kanak's affection as well as solving the existing issues in Rathi house, including Bhabho - Kanak equation...
Hopefully he can be redeemed...
In last season DABH, few people had concerns initially that the male lead is too understanding & gentle ... So kudos to the CVs for keeping the characteristics of the male leads of both seasons completely different... Else we would have been bored eventually to see season 2 repeating the characteristics from season 1...
