Exactly. What I have been trying to explain here, and finally did, *huff*😆, which I guess some thought as me equating Raghav Rao and Maya Mehrotra, the psycho. Never.
What I was equating was the phase when Maya was slowly acknowledging Arjun and registering his importance in her life. Maya was closed off to men and treated them like dirt because of her bitter childhood, but Arjun seeped inside that cold exterior with his simplicity and could care less attitude. He was always frank, honest and gave it back to Maya in good measure. Everyone feared Maya, but Arjun never did. Maya was not taken in physically by Arjun, never. She began registering Arjun when, when he saved her when the lift that stopped, or when he protected her from her father, or when they worked together to find a culprit in her office. That is when she registered that Arjun is not so bad after all. She was emotionally and psychologically invested in Arjun after the lift incident, physically, never.
After that certain things began to sway her heart, like Arjun dancing in the rain with kids freely, or making her feel special, or acknowledging the chance she gave him to be a photographer. All that built Maya's feelings for Arjun, till she began acknowledging Arjun as a potential lover, and Saanjh's presence began to irk her.
Yahaan, koi Saanjh to hai nahi. Aur na hi apna hero villain hai. Sirf peshe se villain hai, niyat se nahi😆. So Raghav's behaviour graph is following that same pattern, in my opinion. He may not be actually physically that invested as he may get emotionally invested. Pallavi, being a good person, may help him in situations, where no one ever did. Pallavi being Pallavi will prove she is different, with her actions, and helping Raghav in his moments of weakness will be one of those turning points where he will emotionally begin to register and acknowledge Pallavi. He will fight it with denial, but won't be able to stop himself. Just like Maya gave in to her feelings, Raghav will too.
Raghav is not the typical AYM hero you know. And neither his treatment as a character is shown that way. He is same same yet different. So, I think it won't be first physical. It will be emotional, psychological and then physical. But the trip, fall, catch should stop for now given the situation.
I might have been one of those "some" people who didnt get your point earlier😆 and that's solely because I had not read your original post..but now I get the comparison you are trying to draw and I agree that both Maya and Raghav have similar mannerisms when it comes to treating people around them including the ones they fall in love with.. You know I have memory of a goldfish so I dont quite remember a blow by blow account of Maya Arjun lovestory, the timeline to be specific.. So correct me if Im wrong, but Maya kinda softened towards Arjun after the lift incident and then the way he defended her infront of her father... But before all that, there were moments when Arjun's physical proximity to her during their interactions, affected her and she would look vulnerable, not the Maya who was a control freak. That has not happened here..yet.. atleast not explicitly.. I know for someone like Raghav who gives a damn about anyone, following Pallavi to her bedroom just to tell her that her blouse hook had come off, is a big deal and shows that she means something to him, even if he wont admit, not even to himself.. This is where I agree with you.. Raghav is similar yet different.. The lift moment that softened Maya towards Arjun, may be the one we are about to see tomorrow when Raghav chokes and Pallavi saves him..( maybe..m so bad with predictions lately😆) but all that aside, it'd be nice to see him lose himself atleast once, drop the facade atleast once, to register how beautiful she is.. Physical attraction may not be the first thing or the most important thing in love, but it is there.. If Pallavi was not attractive or beautiful, physically, it wouldnt have mattered.. But she is.. so him not acknowledging that is.. frustrating( for lack of better word😆) Maybe Im being impatient and maybe we will get those moments.. so let's see
