Nice post Riti, you are really following this show.saw your other posts too.
Regarding Anshuman, whatever I have understood from his chwracter sketch, he is image concious and likes to achieve what he wants in any which way but without hampering his IMAGE. He came to rajasthan to save his image only as he accepted dt challenge. But here also he wanted to execute the plan in a way so dt people dnt think he is bad and blame him, wanted to put up that scenario oh look I am here to get your daughter, but as you are not ready lets make it officially a broken marriage. Its like killing two birds with single stone and it suits his opportunist attirude well. But I guess sometimes its better to accept man proposes and god disposes. So we better not make plans as destiny most of the time play spoilsport to fail that plan.
And I think it will be interesting to watch how Ahshuman will behave once he starts living with pakhi. Will he put up his best self to keep intact his image or make it clear to her what he actually wants.
