Well i dont think it was love at first sight and neither it was any kinda attraction at the first sight. prithvi was least bothered who she was and only interested in "Rajkumari Chamki's" moves and not wat Nandini said or did. Itz only wen Nandini started creating problems for him..though innocently and sumtimes mischieviously that Prithvi paid sum attention to her.
Watever...he did to save her from the trouble..he wud do that for any girl...considering the 'Rajput Chivalry'. But gradually as and how her innocence, confidence and her bubblyness is revealed to prithvi he got attracted. Even saved her from that darinda..but this time not coz of any subdud attraction but out of concern. He realized he was concerned of Nandini.
Days pass by and prithvi doznt realize his feeling for Nandini..coz she was with him all thru the yatra. Then cums the parting..the end of Koteshwar Mandir's Yatra. It is then he realizes how much he is habitual of her being around. Now he doznt even care of any khaaee n run n runs n runs to reach her asap...but to no avail.
Then after that fight he says...that Prithvi ki na koi kamzori hai, no thi aur na hogi...thinks that Nandini is jus another girl..hez habitual of her coz he spent a lot of time wid her.
But he cant forget her…and now doznt believe that hez thinking of Nandini out of obsession…he starts dreaming of her.
Gradually…Nandini becums his strength…and then v all know…how he used to vent out his feelings to her..n she helped him cum out of his sword fear.
Now hez protective of her..very caring, understanding n loving. Now he truly knows that Prithviraj Chauhan loves Nandini.
huh!..bahut lamba ho gaya! 😆
