He was alwaysprotective of her.. even during GC days..
He was physically attracted to her from the day she came down the stairs in the green saree for the rasam... n then during the reception... He found himself falling for her right from the pillow fort marked by anjaan rishtey... it continued.... his first hint of jealousy with Amey then with Aniket..
He was full goner by end of the Vasant panchami pooja.. the way he applied sindhoor... He realized he cannot live without her after Pulkit lunch drama, when she decided to leave...He fell in love throughout... but whatever she selflessly did for his family, made him realize it...
