He responds to her like a good friend . There is nothing romantic in that hug from his side . He even said that he sees themselves being good friends .
I guess that's Ok ......Not every relationship works out . Archana is a loving passionate person . I want her to be with someone who is ready to take on the world for her . Not with someone who gives up on her so easily , even after all she did for him ...Let her part with him on an amicable note and then move on to better things in life ...
