Ignoring the Occam's Razor's principle.

Why is it difficult to understand RK ? Everyone seems to ponder.

And what an irony it is that those people who want to know him so much, when he explains him in simple words, people say "Apni Bakwaas Band karo!"  Why would they want to look for other explanations. 

Today Shamsher does that at one time. It was pathetic how Shamsher decided to just ignore what RK was saying about him respecting his actions as he understands a father's emotions. That Shamsher then had to be pulled back from his flying horses when RK recedes back to employ his histrionics and show him, if in all of this vendetta, does he actually think what his daughter would have to say for his actions. We have been all along saying this that Shamsher has lost it. So finally one human contact with his mind and actions has made him see sanity. Once I compared Shamsher to Raskolnikov. The act pleases him more than the consequences. That's what happened today. Shamsher suddenly realized what all of this means and where it was leading to.

Today Madhu too decided to look beyond RK simple explanation as that answer was not serving the purpose of her curiosity. Then why does she ask a rhetorical question, instead of direct one? That takes me back to Radhaji, who is so happy to misunderstand her son.

We may not have liked that from Madhu, but Madhu was being herself. All in her character. When has she ever analysed anything like RK. She has always jumped to conclusions. LIke Leela says, so happy with her vain trait of being self-righteous. She would have really taken the fight to a dirty slandering fight, but RK bestows the dignity to it by cutting her in the middle and giving her anger a proper direction and making her ask the right question to him. 

Of course RK wanted the fight to happen in a proper manner, because, wasn't he thinking about her a few minutes back when she brought him his food. All it takes to understand another person is to be receptive to information and letting go of our assumptions. RK was doing that. He understood Shamsher's anger and obsession. And continuing on the same he tries to understand Madhu and her limits unto obsession for sacrificing her life to save her adopted father. RK remembers Madhu's facts about her real father. This is his way of looking at Madhu's emotions.
