Why was Radheer so riled up by Mogar taunting him that he wouldn't be able to satisfy Amrit physically when he was bedridden? They have "ruh wala ishq" right? So that shouldn't matter. And VashmAy have ruh wala ishq too, as they care about each other even when separated. Now it is AmDheer that are able to be physically close to each other while VashmAy are apart. Physically isn't just SR. In reality both is important, hard for love to survive on physicality or mental connection alone.
Thank you for these profound thoughts. We were not equating the two couples to either, we were just emphasising on how the way it was presented in that article made it look like one is above another, which is not the truth, both couples have different ways of expressing it on the SAME show. Like even you pointed out, it is both elements make up a successful relationship, and if the ruh wala ishq was enough, he would not have cared so much about Mogar's words. On point!
Given what is happening already in the show at this point with the other characters and their SS, the choice of words used collectively seemed like an indirect dig taken at the other couple, and even if unintentionally so, it makes sense to address it, because yes, it did affect a SECTION of fans who watch the show only for VashMay and turned them off AmDheer, when the question of physical intimacy was raised. We are being civil about it here, but it was raised mainly because it did spark off a heated conversation on the two couples on social media sites like Twitter and Instagram (without the KUDCA or couple tags ofcourse), became a topic of discussion on WhatsApp, ended up being a reason for fan fights and then it was misconstrued to a large extent on the lead's character too. It is important for publishers to see what message is being sent out in the context of the promotion, especially when the show is in a vulnerable state with trps and less SS and other stuff already 🙏
