I like how the makers have so far stayed more or less consistent with their comfort level and camaraderie, they're not even conscious about being up in each other's personal spaces or touching each other unless some external factor is involved, for eg the hesitancy with performing the marriage rituals. Raavi even hugged him in front of Mama-Mami and we see casual touches in front of family members too, like Raavi pulling Shiva's ear, so that's not something they're awkward about either.
It makes sense given their years growing up together bickering and kinda makes me wonder if Shiva calls her chipkali in the real sense of the word 🤣
I'm almost convinced there's an origin story to that nickname now, she latches on to him every time she's in distress/imbalanced and it happens quite reflexively, so I'm guessing that's something that became second nature to her through the years.
Hoping they don't change this element any time soon, it's realistic and definitely better than getting moments every time you hold hands.
