I hv never seen such a beautiful back hug where both characters hv so much love hidden inside their heart for each other yet cannot express it in words and so when words fell short , Shobha hugs Vikram from behind with a overwhelming gesture as Vikram frees her from her fears ...
While Shobha had tears of happiness during the hug as she believes Vikram never loved her but only respected her as a woman and so she wont hv to carry the guilt while returning back to Samarth , we see Vikram is trying hard to hide those tears of pain , heartbreak and upcoming separation as he believes its best for the kids to free Shobha and let her go back to her past life 🥺

After the back hug , Vikram then asks Shobha for one last parting hug 😭 and this is where we see once again Vikram crying his heart out after holding Shobha tightly in his arms because he knew that this is the last time she is so close to him without any inhibitions 😭😭 .. Shobha too finally could feel the jitters in her heart as the realisation slowly sinks in that this is the last time she is so close to her Vikram sir before returning back to her old life once again which means end of her freedom and fairytale world 😭

I m glad that Vikram dint confess his love to Shobha this time but instead asked her to return back to Samarth ..If Vikram had confessed his love , then Shobha would hv accepted it as a favour to him without realising her own love for him just because somewhere she still feels indebted to Vikram for whatever he has done for her and her kids .. Thats why when Vikram asked Shobha to return back , instead of feeling bad or heartbroken , she actually felt relieved that Vikram does not love her and so she dint hv to do any favour of accepting his proposal either . ..
Point is Shobha is yet to realise her love for Vikram because in her mind she still sees him like her saviour or boss and almost worships him like God but she is yet to realise that she too has fallen in love with him and thats why she enjoys that touch of Vikram or that warmth in Vikram's arms 😳 which mayb she no more enjoys in Samarth's touch and so makes sure Samarth stays away from her even after accepting him back in his life 😉😃 ...
So unless Shobha on her own realises that she loves Vikram and cannot stay away from him , its better Vikram does not confess his love for her or else like I said she will accept it only because she feels indebted to him and not because she too loves him ... Thats why its important that Shobha on her own realises her love for Vikram and also realises that he is the best father for her kids ...
I guess after resigning from her job , she will start missing Vikram and will feel suffocated in house because she is now used to work independently and enjoys her work too .. So once she starts missing office and Vikram post her resignation , she will then slowly realise her love for Vikram and also how she is used to that independent life now which Vikram has showed her 😳
Even the kids dont realise that they too r used to their superman Vikram now more than their own father and thats why they still expect Vikram to dress them up for school or b present in their school events instead of inviting their own father 😉 ; They too like Shobha hv programmed their mind with the idea of Samarth = father just how Shobha programmed her mind with the idea of Samarth = Husband and father of her kids but the reality is in their subconscious mind they all see Vikram as their family and not Samarth 😳 .. So the day Kids realise that Vikram is their true father and Shobha too realises that Vikram is her real lifepartner , will b the day Vikram will not hv to do anything , Shobha and kids only will return back to Vikram and then no Sarika or Samarth can do anything 😃
I must say Apurva and Sonali both were spectacular in that hug scene 👏👏👏 .. Apurva especially takes the cake in bringing out the right amount of pain and emotions in his eyes during both the hugs ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
