Thanks for this post big_007. You spoke my thoughts. I agree with you and Merc_Nary. What Mohan has been doing for past few days, is that he is being himself. He knows he is not doing anything wrong by declaring his romantic interests to his love, so he does it, in his own style.
And I have also said it earlier that behind Mohan's madness lies a method.
That is what he did during last week as he kept the Vyas family, Pracreep and Evilnath in the dark and went ahead to disclose Amar's innocence to the world. He was able to keep his promise to his Chawanni, could avoid any threats to Chawanni, Megha or anyone from Vyas family, as he wanted to buy few hours from Evilnath & gang before the truth is out on a national TV.
The character of Mohan is far too mature, behind his childlike mannerism lies a thoughtful and cynical mind, which believes in love, caring to his core. I felt this about Mohan the first time I saw the NBT show, it was Moahan - Nanhi first meeting at PL office. 😊 Every episode after that has only confirmed this belief.
Therefore, apart from the emotional reasons you have given big_007 or his more modern upbringing as brought out by Merc_Nary, Mohan's current full on Majanu Avtar, I think, are also a part of his method of madness. A method suites his personality and perhaps he has practiced it during his professional life as a crime reporter, hence he is able to use this method effortlessly.
Did he not say yesterday after we saw Megha smiling to his jokes at the dinner table and quickly getting him hanky, "Kuch to ho raha hai aapko, lagataa hai mere sawaalon ka jawaab jald hi milne waala hai..."? That statement to me was a confirmation that Mohan is doing all this to make Megha realise her feelings for Mohan.
Megha is currently going through this big turmoil of emotionally swinging from her past and present. Her past being her lost love - Amar and the life she lived. Her present being again at multiple levels.
At one level she has this part which is holding onto Amar, who wants to live a single woman's life as widow of the martyr Amar, who tells herself that she has already lived all the emotions, joys of her lifetime during her life spend with Amar.
At another level, she has seen her need for friendship and companionship, be it to share a cup of tea or some to buy a small toy / gift for her son or to find her daughter - twice. Mohan has made a remarkable presence in her current life. He is the one who makes her laugh. With whom she is able to be really carefree.
So far, Megha was yet to realize that Mohan is much more to her than a friend. But yesterday's episode she is being shown to be getting that realization, just like the prick of a throne, it hurts, she started bleeding.
Monu is roaming in the world of imagination dream and doesn't seem to come back in reality...that's why see behave in this weired manner to win megha's heart...It's I think normal and quite efficiently shown by CV...and for this track I don't think the main theme NBT i.e subtlity or silent nature won't be hurt at all I think..
I am quoting these lines for I totally agree with them.
I feel Monu becoming sooo eager to push Megha has something to do with his dinner date with Vyas's and the fact that Megha cooked him a meal. There is something about one enjoying good food made by one's love interest and after that one going on a trip, "I want MORE, I want More, I want everything". Believe me, this is true for men as well as women. 😉 😃

When the promos of Mohan invited to Vyas house came, I was kind of laughing and was ready to see a stronger, bindhast Majnu in the show and that is what is happening. Yes, Mohan has had food from Medha's dubba earlier, but eating a proper dinner made by your love for you is an altogether different thing. No matter its a man or a woman, or it is a proper dinner date with all the privacy to the couple or Moahn's dinner with Vyas family. I admire the way the creatives showed this. "100 claps to them 👏".
So, Mohan getting more pushy seems perfectly normal.
With he admiringly gazing (I dare say almost staring!) at Megha the way he does or bringing a bouquet for Megha, give it to Jiji but only after ensuring that he keeps a Red Rose for Megha and then gives it to her at FIL's back, all this created earthquakes in our dear Megha. She is not shocked by his behaviour, she knows his feelings.
Rather she is shocked for she not being very angry about he bringing flowers for her. Or that she could not really refuse to accept that flower.
I loved the way she was looking at Mohan while FIL was showing him the house. She admired that FIL has really warmed up to Mohan. And then the mention of Amar, took her back into the island of life of a martyr's proud widow, no wonder then the throne pricked her hard. I don't want to repeat discussion on symbolism in yesterdays' episode, that has taken place elsewhere.
And the way she was peeping from the net, almost admiring him as Chawanni greeted Mohan and Guru, was marvelous. And in a flash of the moment Megha gained control over her 'all blush' expression and brought an official look was acted gracefully by Akansha. 👏 👏
The painful process of Medha realizing her desire for life after Amar, her decision to leave her past in the past and live in the present with a welcoming acceptance of future - with Mohan, has began.
Mohan's Mohanerisms, are only adding fuel to it. 😃 ⭐️
Now since its about love, this fuel is going to cause fire. So this slapping etc., is fine. For some time both of them will bare the burns, it will be painful but I am sure will result into a strong bond of love between two thoughtful persons.
Now since I have expressed my POV so much already, let me share my first reaction when I read about Megha slapping Mohan. "What on earth made Megha slap him like this? Oh she isn't some early teenager to not know how to reject the unwanted / disagreeable proposal gracefully? She is mature enough to deal with this, isn't it?
The moment I said it loudly enough in my mind it dawned to me that this is where lies the dilemma of Megha's mind. Holding onto Amar Jaap and Falling in for Mohan, at the same time.
And that moment only brought tears to my eyes, my heart went for Megha as well as for Mohan. Me thinking about the wobbly road ahead in store for them, at the end of which there is love and happiness in togetherness. But the road is tough.
So far NBTNMKK creatives have never disappointed us. So looking forward to this process of of Megha rediscovering her life again.😊
