I mean his feelings for Gangaa arent that of a normal "friend" 😆
He's feeling guilty of not loving her back & rejecting her. Cant stop caring for her even for a moment. She's on his mind 24*7 & all his actions are directly/indirectly a result of her reactions 😆
Didnt say a word to her when she slapped him, feels that she's suffering so much coz of him etc etc
Still she's just his "friend" 😳😆
He feels greatly & deeply for Gangaa. Its deffo not just friendship. Its much more than that. Lot more than friendship, little less than love.
But nevermind, he'll slowly, steadily & surely reach there one day
