Yeh Meri Biwi Hai ...Phir Bhi Thanks

And why did he claim "meri biwi" clear and aloud in front of that imposter? Because he will not tolerate something obnoxious said about any woman remotely related to him. Apart from doing it for his Daadi and her mother, he does know somewhere deep down his heart that this is the woman he wants to take home to, at the end of the day.
But he is not going to give her false hopes until he really believes in those emotions and knows that's the right thing to do.
True. Agree with you.
Let me add my bit too, to continue.
While watching the scene, I felt that Abhi was forced to hit reality, hit the ground. His marriage to Pragya is all a revenge lesson from his point of view where the trouble-maker and gold-digger Pragya was supposed to get tortured, humiliated and insulted all the time.
Alas!! the problem in having this wish executed gets encompassingly difficult for Abhi and it only adds to his conflicted emotions on what he is as person himself. This is completely devoid of what he feels or should feels for Pragya. This conflict is about his character and his emotions that are taking a toll on him.
His desire of having Pragya tortured, insulted rests on his wish that only and only Pragya should bear that punishment and no one else get affected even remotely by the hurt he intends to give Pragya. For him he and the world are one side and there is only adversary for him that deserves all bad and that is Pragya. Is it for REAL then that such isolation of actions and consequences can be achieved ? NO.
And that is what happened once again today. Today, it was not Pragya's mother or Abhi's grandmother, who were exposed to the consequences of their marriage. Today, the couple themselves were exposed, if they want to keep semblance of marriage or let it be. When Pragya saved Abhi from getting arrested, Pragya had the threat of Tanu's relationship with Abhi getting exposed which was going to affect both her family and Abhi's grandmother. But today, in no manner, the families were affected. However what was subjected to ridicule was Abhi's character. Is he really a casting couch principle follower?
I watched the scene and felt it, how Abhi felt disturbed by a disruption to supposedly fun, jovial atmosphere he was having with a person he is starting to enjoy. If that disruption did not vex him enough, the man was insulting not only to a woman, he was more insulting to Abhi as a person with a lewd idea of Abhi as a person. And that angered Abhi ! He was wrathful. He just wanted to get himself cleansed and he said...this is my wife...Well on surface it does have a respectful and protective gesture for Pragya, but it has also protected his personality. He proved to the man that he is not what he thinks of ...as a man of loose morals. And to show his funny side, he even goes ahead and says, he meets up with men as well.
What I saw in that scene, an echoing dramatic effect of "Yeh meri Biwi Hai"...an echoing hardhitting reality for Pragya and Abhi. While Pragya is grateful that atleast for semblance sake, Abhi said that, which is what she wants at all these times, in her present state of reality, for Abhi it was redemptive of himself by purging all the bad things he has been doing lately to Pragya and how each time it is coming to hit upon him. If he had kept quiet today, not only his ego would have been hurt for his image as perceived by others, he would have been more hurt at himself, forced to sit quiet, when all his inner self actually rebels against any such basal activity.
Now that anger unleashed, he cancels the ordered food and wants to walk out from there in the heat of the moment. And our Pragya, true to her nature of always showing sense and decorum, her grateful attitude to the moment, makes her express her Thank You. Ofcourse! this increases anger levels for Abhi and he gets to release his pent up frustration with her. In his anger and annoyance, he takes out the frustration at the hurt inflicted by Pragya in the morning. Why save him and why not accept his Thank You, because for all it matters to him, the gold-digger saved him for his and her family needs. When and where did the gold-digger get better sense than him to prevail in an otherwise advantageous situation? And if he could keep all that aside, and he wanted to convey his gratitude, why did she not accept it? He uses the SAME WORDS to drive his point of how he was hurt by her words. If she called him Ravan in the morning, he goes to say I too don't consider you my wife. Truth. But a truth for both that is like a poison that inflicts a writhing pain. I am sure he knew exactly that she would see that he was not doing it for families.
And then follows a balm to his pain.
Pragya's "Phir bhi Thanks".
She is calm, not showing an inch of hurt at the truth he hurled at her, takes it as reality and yet is noble not to crib at the loss of her right, but is just grateful for a small cover of kindness, a shelter provided to her in her situation. And she was resolute enough to show her self-respect, her dignity and showed him that she will not demand for what is not hers, but if he did something good for her, she will definitely express her gratitude to him. She will not be shy of that.
That is where the episode ended. We are not sure of tomorrow, how the scene will continue. But today that ending scene was a balm to Abhi's hurt pride. Pragya rose above their relationship, their marriage and showed him equal respect as a person. And that is what Abhi needed in that moment at the restaurant when he was enjoying his evening with a person he was liking which got ruined by another person, he could only abhor. It was all worth it. Something he wanted so much for himself since the morning.

I wonder if writers put so much depth into the dialogue writing. But I guess the story direction, the dialogue and the acting by the crew adds the right chemistry to the scene and such dramatic emotion becomes possible.
