@rajh I disagree. The deal with Bhanu was he will marry Tanu in exchange for Poorvi's safety. Not that he has to provide stud service. Sorry to say, but one day the truth will come out (unless he sleeps with Tanu to make Bhanu happy), so whether he says that Tanu is not pregnant because he never touched her or Tanu says it, makes no difference because the end result is the same (Tanu is not pregnant). What will happen to Poorvi now, will happen to Poorvi then. In fact, since his marriage lies on Poorvi's safety. He can always theaten divorce if Bhanu goes after Poorvi.
Also, by hiding the fact that he never touched Tanu also makes no difference. Because unless he intends to sleep with her down the road, one day everyone in the family will start asking for babies (Indian family are all the same and Tanu is an only child). Again, what will happen to Poorvi now, will happen to Poorvi then. He is not a psychic to think that by that time the business tycoon will be there to protect Poorvi.
His second deal with Bhanu was him attending the auction in exchange for Poorvi's bail. Again no stud service was promised. Even Bhanu knows it. He mentioned that when had he ever had any talk with him beside making deals.
Unless he makes another deal with Bhanu for stud service, he can certainly speak the truth. But once lie gets out of hand (everyone knows Tanu is pregnant through party), then who will protect Poorvi?
This is how he got trapped in the first place. If he hadn't got engaged in front of media, then he might have been spared because Tanu and Bhanu's ego won't have been on the line along with her obsession. He is heading towards the same trap.
Even if I go with your theory, he very well knows that Tanu won't say anything. It was her plan to start with. Then what's the point asking her to do anything? He might as well ask his bedroom wall to talk. So Tanu won't talk and according to you, he can't talk. So he is bali ka bakra again? Or does he become stud? What would you say a smart guy like Arjun should be? Oh wait, he isn't smart anymore.
I believe in his case, truth is the only policy.
