Prema, yes you do make a very valid point of him waiting for the divorce to be over, which I agree with 100%, because they are still married and that in itself was a misstep that should have been avoided.
I've just finished watching the episode, as a stand alone, ideally yes, he should have waited for the divorce to be over, but Suman hasn't really left him a choice, which should have been his to start off with. I will wait to see what happens tomorrow before placing distaste on Shiva, only because, although he looked hesitant, he was frank with her, about his personality, his actions towards Raavi and his mother's expectations together with the whole situation. This is one of his best traits and I'm hoping it flows through in tomorrow's episode, putting her in place for invading his personal space.
He was talking about Raavi just before the kiss, so I cannot see him being okay with her kissing him, so the fact that she kissed him on the cheek because of her feelings towards him, means I cannot put the entire blame on him regardless.
His reaction to the kiss to me looked as if he was surprised, that someone would do that, rather than one of being enthralled with the kiss. It was unexpected and touching his cheek might have been instinct rather than sentimental.
Coming to him talking to her, it is sometimes easier to speak to a stranger about feelings that you may be unable to show your close ones. Because they might be that sounding board that let's you lighten the burden without any bias. I'm not sure if anyone else in the family knows how he feels about Raavi, but Disha should definitely have got the hint of his feelings for her.
