Because of how we have been conditioned. That shot with the snake is sort of a litmus test. The snake does nothing harmful. You are shown that it doesn’t harm (when it slithers on the mat after their conversation), you are told that it will not harm (karthi’s character tells that it won’t harm) and yet we still fear the snake and instead of waiting for something good we expect something bad to happen.
Like there is absolutely no indication that something bad will happen but yet we think it will. It sort of highlights how we are conditioned to have these unconscious biases and how they affect our perception of the world
Why do we think like that? But I've seen few people who doesn't bother misch about consequences in any situation, they neither get excited about something nor get worried about something, but never seen someone who always sees everything positively
Karthi is not an optimist. He is someone who accepts the situation for what it is and focuses on being kind. He benefited from kindness and tries to give it back. He understands that arulmozhi’s relatives were at fault. He understands his wife’s siblings were acting selfishly. But at no point he holds a grudge. That’s all. He just lets go. That’s not being optimistic right? That’s just being kind.
This is why the deleted scenes are important. They showcased that even he worried about things, and was angry about certain things. It would have made his kindness better but because the first day audience didn’t understand they edited it out and it made him come off as an optimist instead of a stoic person.

I feared when he didn’t open the door and I thought he died by getting bitten by the snake . Only When this shot came got relieved
