Raghav is also extremely touch-starved in the sense of affectionate touches. It's been a decade, and for someone whose love language is touch, that's so painful (remember, in flashbacks also, we see him lying in Jaya's lap, her stroking his hair- it's probably always been his thing). And Pallavi is so generous and comfortable with touch since way back. Matlab, even if she wants to hand something over, she'll grab his hand first and place it in his palm, rather than just handing it simply. And I also think she knows he finds comfort in physical contact- pulling him onto her lap to sleep after the mirchi incident, taking his hand to storm out of Deshmukh house twice, holding onto his hand when he started shaking while telling the Krishna Rao story, hugging him, the way she responded in the breakfast scene this week. Now with the kind of emotional connect they have, it's obviously going to get addictive for him, which is why he sought it subconsciously that night when he was extremely disturbed.
Lots of consensus on acts of service for Pallavi!
