No Deepa, for the first few years of their friendship there was no house OCD, no Baba's rejection, nothing. Ashu was just like any other guy and from their dialogs we can see he has done a lot of things that any normal guy would do to have fun, sometimes even harmless mischief like smuggling pizza, etc. But maybe for these years, it was Ashu's intuition that he did not want to give Mallu any thing more other than friendship. Initially he would have given her Armaan's place, and some of the things thye ahce done seems more like things he would have enjoyed with a buddy. Alos, he may have been more into his career to care about marriage and Mallu may have just kept quiet during those years. AFter his Baba deserted him and then the house Ashu changed, developed hosue OCD and Mallu may have then tried to get him to marry her, but he wanted nothing to do with relationships then. I feel this would have been the point when Ashu would have realized what sort of dreams Mallu had for them, but now he could not fulfil them and she could not let them go.
I would also say Mallu was attracted to Ashu becoz of his uniqueness, an orphan brought up by a foster father making it big is very rare, other than all the qualities I mentioned in my earlier post. That in itself would have been the most attractive quality to Mallu, someone who always prided on getting one a kind things. When Ashu praised Nidhi, Mallu's radar beeped and she perceived Nidhi as a danger. That's why when Nidhi resigned she was happy. Again when Nidhi pulled Ashu for dance, Mallu got jealous, she had a really bad feeling about Nidhi. FOr her part, Nidhi got an intuition about Ashu when he returned those ear-rings. And again she felt the connection when they shoock hands. WHen she saw Mallu hugging Ashu one day, she felt jealousy for the first time and her brain perceived Mallu as competition.
But Mallu's shallowness, for want of a better word, comes through when she saw Ashu changing into hardstone with house OCD but could not do anything about it. SHe could not cheer him up like Nidhi did much later. She could not even prevent him from going into her shell, that's how much hold she had on him or how much Ashu would let her have. AT this point she should have understood there was not future with this man, but she insisted on pursuing him even in the face of multiple rejections.
Regarding intuition, it is very personal and depends on how perceptive one is, how tuned they are to someone. I have personally had a feeling of deja vu many times. THere will be times when I would think a lot about some person I know, maybe a cousin, someone I have not met or spoken to for a while. And a few days later I would hear something about that person from my parents and it would almost seem that that was what I had been feeling the last few days, a sense of deja vu right there. SOmetimes seeing someone after a while also gives me a sense about them, not always, just rarely.
