I don’t think it’s possible to keep count of the number of times fateh had declared himself to be a ghulam when it comes to jasmine and he takes the word quite seriously but perhaps for the first time ever, tejo used the word and in a completely contradictory way. She REFUSED to be his ghulam. Fateh stilling at that admission was brilliant because his definition of love is someone being on a pedestal and tejo had pointblank denied to be the person who would be taken for granted.
Fateh had spent an entire evening going berserk because jasmine decided to test his love, manipulated him in a way that messed him up. He knows the kind of love that would make him do stupid things to “prove himself” and here tejo demands respect and an equal footing in a relationship, nothing else will do for her.
There are no games, no stunts... just a normal relationship.
The fainting spell and the academy conversation had again given him ample opportunity to pick jasmine over tejo but he backpedalled. He asks HER what is going on in her mind, wants to confront her but then retreats.
The “ardaas” line is going to haunt him and I’m here to watch him writhe and regret every single thing.
