These are some of the points which clearly indicated that Raghu is already in love with Shivani but in plain denial π...
First when Shivani asks Raghu to look into her eyes and then tell her that all this caring over the years is not love but only duty and that he wont b missing her when she will go away from him , Raghu was simply clean bowled and he just could not speak a single word in his defence π ; Neither he could look into Shivani's eyes nor he could turn his back towards her to confront her ππ³ ; He kept looking at other side and fumbling with his own words regarding marriage and duty just because he himself was not really convinced with his own set of defences that he used regarding their relationship ππ ; Though he kept calling his care and concern for her is just part of his duty but all his defence went for a toss when Shivani raised the question of missing her ππ³ ; He dint really answer it but was like " Baby ji I already told u what I wanted to .. thats it ..case over" ππ...
Second when Shivani burns her hand by putting it over the burning diya , Raghu not only runs towards her to take her hand off diya but the look he gives her after seeing her burnt palm was more of a mesmerised and admiring kind of look as if for the first time he is wonderin whether any girl of her status can really love him to such an extent π³ ; Just check out Raghu's look to Shivani in this particular scene when he looks at her burnt hand π , it was not the typical Raghu's look to his Baby ji but more of a Man's look to his lady love after feeling overwhelmed with her love towards him π³π³ ; He almost went into a trance for that split second and kept giving her that admiring look but then came back to his typical servant wala senses and returns the mangalsutra and leaves ,... So for that split second Raghu's subconscious mind and heart took over who kept admiring the love of his wife after seeing her go to this extent π³π³
Third Raghu once again got into a authorative mode today when he questioned her about not signing those divorce papers and then in firm tone told her about not returning back the mangalsutra since he does not believe in this marriage ; If Raghu truely claims to b his servant , then isn't it a servant's duty to listen to every order of his malkin ?? π ; So when Shivani ordered for her mangalsutra , why dint Raghu say "ho jayega baby ji " this time ?? ππ ; Why Raghu expected Shivani to listen to his order this time like a typical wife and stop being so stubborn with her demand ?? π ; So in Raghu's subconscious mind , he has begun to treat Shivani like a wife only on whom he is beginning to show his authority whereas with Sumitra he is still his formal self ...
Fourth comes the precap where Raghu feels protective for her in public bus and decides to keep her close to him and in the process we get some trip-fall-catch moments between both in a crowded bus mayb ππ³π³ .. Thats why the new entry is needed because I always felt Raghu is extra possessive for Shivani and cannot really see anyone else touching her even if its a non-living object πππ .. He gets all worked up or starts panicking even if a rose stem pricks her or today when she burnt her hands or in public bus if she is hving trouble in standing in a moving bus , he makes sure not to take his hands off her π .. so yeah he is possessive about her body u see πππ³... thats why a new entry guy is needed to flirt with her so that Raghu's possessive side comes out and he realises that he cannot let Shivani go away from her ππ
Moral of a story is Raghu knows he feels for Shivani but just dont want to name it as love simply because he is scared of the future .. mayb he fears that in future if Shivani repents her decision of loving a servant , he wont b able to take it and might b badly heartbroken π₯Ί and thats where he is trying hard to keep a chk on his feelings reason why these days whenever he confronts Shivani , he makes sure he does not look into her eyes at all and turns his back against her because your mouth can lie but your eyes cannot ever lie which is where he gave out his emotions via his eyes in the hand burn scene when he looks at her with that mesmerising way ππ³π³
About Latha helping out Raghu in making a choice , will wait and watch because after today's episode I cant fault Latha for finally interfering before she sees all 3 candidates that is Raghu , Shivani and Sumitra end up in mental asylum or turn her house itself into some sort of mental asylum or WWF ground ππ ... I guess she might actually give 7 days time to Raghu and ask him to choose between one instead of destroying both their lives and then she might just help him in making a choice π€
