How can purab be considered as unreasonable and a hypocite ?
All those saying this, first ignore your resentment for the character for the moment, put yourselves in his shoes and then react.
He had said that jassi's past did not concern him because he was given to believe that it did not concern HER anymore and that she had put it behind her. She was the one who brought up the mariage issue when he was perfectly ok with just being a friend to her. She was the one who tore the diary in his presence and said that she wished to move on !
When he felt that she still may have feelings for Armaan and they may not be doing the right thing by getting married, she again reassured him that there was no such thing and he took her word for it and let it go. Mind you he did not accuse her or unnecessarily badger her with uncomfortable questions, he did not ask her to stop meeting the guy or put any kind of pressure on her like a typical chauvinist pig wld do
But if the lady starts showing complete disregard for his feelings (the lunch episode when she left him standing high and dry at the entrance of the restaurant), starts taking him for granted, considers his calls to be un imporatant and bangs down the phone on him just coz her Armaan sir drops into her cabin, meets her armaan sir late in the night and that too on her pre engagement party day etc etc etc should he not even have the right to at least be concerned that she may still be very much in love with the guy and that they may not be doing the right thing by going ahead with the marriage.
It is not about not TRUSTING someone, it is abt seeing the reality the way it is and being practical.
Wld a person be comfortable going ahead and marrying someone who he knows is still deeply in love with someone else and that such a marriage will bring nothing but pain to both of them.
Maybe in this case jassi herself does not realize that she is still in love with Armaan but her actions/her behaviour certainly reflect the same. Should he help her come to terms with her feelings or should he ignore the same and carry on as if he does not know anything.
If he does that, there are a lot of people who wld say that he knew that she loved someone else but still was being selfish in love and not doing anything abt it !
Ironically, the very same people are also unhappy today when he is trying to rationalize the whole thing! i mean it is typically the case of u are damned if u do it and you are damned if u don't do it! For God's sake, he is not being nasty to her or throwing accusations at her etc. He is just trying to put things into perspective/rationalize everything !
And pleeeez ....what is this abt roaming the streets at night. Excuse me, but i work in the corporate sector and sometimes due to business exigencies/aggresive deadlines we do stay back and work till late hours. There are many of us who sometimes do drive back home late at night coz a business meet got stretched, client deadlines had to be met etc etc. This is pretty comman with working professionals ! And why just work, one cld be returning from a friend's place or a relatives place late at night. Why shld that be a problem ! It was not as if he was having fun with a girl or something, was he ?
Also, interestingly, had he not reacted to the situation, he wld have been scorned, called a 'Saint', an 'unrealistic character' etc and now that he has reacted he is being damned and called a chauvnist !!
