BTW, I decided to actually watch the finger burning scene. it was nice and had a desired depth of newly wed intimacy for the few seconds it lasted. seems the standards of their romance are rising above the mediocre. good.
it actually was very fun to watch though it still seemed like sushant and ankita rather than archana and manav. I think the nature of the romance is where you notice that this is not manav romancing archana.
see manav is not supposed to be obviously playful but subtly daring if I read the character right. Remember that scene at the begining of their marriage when he held her hand chupke chupke while they were swinging the palki at the pooja in front of the entire colony adn she was so nervous because everyone was there but daring enought not to make it noticeable or remove her hand. or when he mouths out that the samosas were delicious so that the rest of the family sitting around him were unaware of his thoughts. (OMG there was a time that I could name the episode and the date it aired of any arman scene - well that was before shibu did the stupid divorce)
That was true husband wife intimacy (beyond sex) and it was subtly daring. Archu used to love the praise he gave her so willingly then because it was about special things she did for him (under cover of his family) and she used to blush alot when she received the praise. even though he is not with the D's anymore, you never see them having those brain melt moments that lovers do when they are with the K's and no melodrama is happening.
