Nobody is denying the 'friendship'; in fact, in essence, MohUr were 'friends' even prior to Kastur's handshake request...I questioned it then itself: if she already knew that there were no expectations on either side, they were just going to go about handling their responsibilities without letting love come in the way, what was the need to define their relationship? So that there would be no 'physical' or 'emotional' expectations, right?
In light of this, I maintain that Mohan is in love post-leap for a few reason which I've elaborated on in my thread. However, let me spell it out one step further with another example. Mohan never wanted Kastur involved in his business matters, right? Had their relationship not grown; had it been where it was prior to the leap, do you honestly think he would have tolerated her being on the site? Following him, feeding him in front of workers? Do you think he would have carried her, taken care of her, instead of telling her to stop the nonsense? That in a professional environment where work is being done & he is on a deadline, he didn't need these distractions? Instead, other than calling her out on not wearing footwear, he indulged her, didn't get upset at her...Furthermore, once he got home,he asked her why she didn't just wait for him to bring her back from the site...the Mohan prior to the leap would have just told her to leave, been extremely irritated, and smoked a pack or two of cigarettes😆😆. Coming to the last scene on Thursday's epi: he could have just apologized after Saroj said so in the future you will say things to me in front of the family...instead he wanted to assure his mom that Kastur only had Saroj's best interest at heart and that she respected her as much as Mohan did; again, why was it necessary to mention and then justify why he defended Kastur? Why not just say I was wrong for interrupting you, it won't happen again...bas, kissa khatam! These examples reflect how his thinking has changed...and this is the key for a 'friendship' turning into something more...that something is love...
A pt. abt physical attraction in all this: I am not denying physical attraction is not necessary in love...after all, when the physical (I don't mean just appearance; physical affection, consummation, all comes into my definition of 'physical') meets the emotional, love is 'complete'...But for me, the emotional side of 'love' far outweighs the physical. Physical appearances, the initial attraction, change over time: it either lessens or grows as your emotional connection with a person either increases or decreases. Thats why ppl continue to be 'in love' for decades, while other relationships may last a few days. A less attractive person or someone whose appearance didn't matter starts to look beautiful when you recognize their goodness, their caring, their intellect and vice versa. In my mind, this is where Mohan is right now...And it is far more significant to me that Mohan has made this connection, rather than first being attracted to Kastur & then having feelings for her...
