I wonder how many people know the real truth about Avni.... do Baapji and Kaka know? Or did Malhar do everything on his own without telling or consulting with anyone and everyone came to know about it afterwards? Also, it doesn't seem like Malhar lives with Avni, that's why I had thought yesterday that maybe Avni's track would come later.
He lives in a tiny room with Durgaprasad where there's barely room for one human being, I doubt he could keep a wife who's soon about to become a mother there.
And I understand better Anu's logic in wanting her daughter to go away from there asap, because finding out her husband remarried and has a kid on the way will be awful for her and further lead her to think he purposely didn't bother looking for her.
