Malika, I don't think they will delve into that aspect right now. There might be a gradual build-up of physical awareness of each other, but I don't see these two in the right frame of mind to deal with intimacy right now.
If you look at the characters of Shravan and Sumo, their relationship has always gone beyond the physical attraction. It's premised on a much deeper connection. And unless and until the moss that has grown on that facet of their relationship grows lighter (if not scrubbed clean), I don't expect them to come closer physically. We might see a terrible yearning in Shravan for the emotional connection quite early on though.
If we are looking for physical intimacy to help them tide over their problems, this is not the show.
The intimacy will come for sure, but it will have to start right at the very beginning - from the tentative holding of hands.
I've been reading a lot many posts today regarding the lack of chemistry between the two leads, and I think we often mistake sexual tension as chemistry, when that is only a very small part of it.
In the context of relationships, chemistry is what we see when two people share a special connection, in other words, they "click". It is not necessarily sexual.
If I share amazing chemistry with someone, I'd expect them to be all over my thoughts. I might stay up talking to them or thinking about them until the rooster crows, and not even know where the night went by. I would hope that every call or text is him. I'd probably find myself constantly wishing to find out what they'd think about a particular book/a bird/an antique car that just rolled by/a traffic jam even 😊. You don't even have to be in the same room with that person to feel that connection.
And if you look at the vibes Namik and Nikita create in their scenes even where they are not in the same frame, you can see that connection. No wonder all of us keep thinking "how can the family not see their love for each other?" If it indeed had been thanda, would we be saying that?
At present (for a very long time - granted), the two characters have been caught in situations that are pulling them away from each other, and the resultant coldness is natural. We've seen how they clicked in the initial episodes, and will see that again when situations turn for the better, but to say there is no chemistry is, IMHO, unfair to these two very promising actors.
Just my POV though...
