@bold - unclezone, indeed. We should use this term more often, thanks for coining it.
I agree with you, it would be hard for me to see her distance herself for HS. Today's episode proved how much she respects and loves him. I think she's going to be hurting on the inside as well while she turns away from him. I hope the writers will focus on their dynamics more than just the love story. It's a beautiful bond, rarely seen on ITV. I fell in love with HS' character because of this more than anything else and I hope the writers do justice to show how he would also be hurt as a father when his Veer Balika leaves him.
anirudh is going to completely nail the scene as the distraught man in upcoming episodes and make us cry. Would really love to see him enacting these scenes however hard it might be to watch.
