Definitely I felt like although he doesnt want to open up to the world, he is looking for that one friend with whom he can share his loneliness..He can't be carefree, like he might have been before his life took a turn, but, at least he wants to be normal...Just not with everyingle person, but, just that one special friend that we all have in life...I think he is starting find that friend who will not judge him in Ananya because she is innocent and carefree, and she doesnt want something from him like everyone else does...She just speaks her mind, and I think Kabir is starting to trust her...
This was actually evident when he felt that Ananya betrayed his trust by going to Manav and him acting all angry and stuff...It was quite evident that he was disappointed to feel that Ananya might just be like others whom he can't trust at that point in time...But now, after ananya saying sir aap jaiye, kisi ek ko toh jana hoga...the smile he got, i felt like he realized that she was not like others...he has started trusting her and hence the friendship...And slowly i think they should show, the trust relationship/friendship building between Ananya and Kabir...
As per Ronnie, if the spoiler is true...Kabir might distance himself...But one thing I noticed from today's episode is that Ananya's mother might also have problems with Kabir...so if not Ronnie issue, it could be Ananya's mom asking Kabir eventually later on to keep distance from her daughter, as he is a divorced person with lot of baggage...
I felt sorry for him though, i know how it feels to be hurt, and than having hard time trusting...but later on just finding that same trust in someone else not being easy...you just want someone to pull you of the darkness, and be the boss of you...and say enough, i am there for you, forget all your baggage...
