I really don't think the situation is THAT bad.
Do I think Malhar needs to show is appreciation and affection for Kalyani more? Yes, for sure. How is she supposed to understand your feelings if you never say it? I mean, he does a lot for her but he never says anything. It's a bit frustration to watch sometimes.
As for the precap, you have to take the context of the situation into account. She was his best friend in college, she was in danger and she's involved in this terrorist attack, one way or another. So I'm sure what happened was that he rescued her from that house and she must have gotten hurt, only because of the whole terrorist attack situation, he must have brought her to his house. It was a life or death situation. You have to see Malhar's POV in this. If some man saved Kalyani in a life or death situation, would he really care that that man carried her or touched her?
