I agree that Krishna has not realised he loves her, or rather knows it as much as she ever has in that unspoken bond they have, but has no way of knowing that that is the cause of the problem today.
@Moni and Angel: Pintu and Krishna are going to continue to get kicked around like footballs until they speak up and form a united front against their psycho parents (only VP barred). They need to share their feelings at least with each other and face the world. When they are together we all know they are unstoppable so GET TOGETHER!!!
@Rachna: I absolutely loved your reasoning for why Prishna can't get married under the pressure and plotting of their parents to end this badnami. Because then they would be admitting that their relationship was indeed wrong and has the need to be legitimised by marriage. If they do get married I hope they do it purely as their own decision...and I we still have our Wake Up Sid/Saathiya hybrid dream that NEEDs to happen!
@Shri: Your description of the Prishna dynamic was spot on! There is something about Pintu that allows Krishna to be vulnerable but not in any demeaning way. When he "orders" her to do things it is usually because she is being stubborn and or doing something against her own good or safety and I think she has grown to recognise that as well so she listens to him with much more ease these days, like when he told her to leave after the confrontation with TTS and Ganga.
And I agree that Krishna needs to start listening to her heart. Because the minute she does, she will hear the message loud and clear, after all, "na jaane kuch bhi dil mera, piya tere siva..." š³
