The paradox in the line was a definite giveaway, wasn't it? It seems that he has realised that he was actually the "dor" that she referred to while leaving the house. And he tried to disassociate himself with that by "maana ke Samrat wahan nahi hain", somehow subtly telling her that Samrat is/was and should have been the reason why she was there.
But along with the realisation came the acknowledgement (in the second part of the quote) that even if Samrat is there in the future, she might not come back, because Samrat was not the reason why she was there in the first place.
And I loved how he told her off for comparing herself with Sai. He seems to have picked up on the "I don't want to compete with anyone in this house", which Pakhi used as a reason for going away and he realised that it is Pakhi that is bringing the competition in their midst. I also liked how he reiterated that she was wrong that night. Dear Pakhi, you have no business interfering in when a husband wants to say apologise to his wife.
And that pyaar-dosti dilemma. It seems more like he feels he should consider Pakhi as his love, instead of really being in love her. Blame that on the leftover feelings we really love using.😆
@ Bold Amazing analysis. You guys are awesome! Never thought just one sentence had so much meaning to it.
@ Red I sensed that the "Pyar=dosti" reiteration referred more to what he should feel rather than what he is feeling. But was not sure. So, thnx for saying this.
