I'm not denying he fell for her. I definitely agree he fell for her. However, not in any sexual way. I agree physical intimacy is part of a romantic relationship on a human level, but their level has always been portrayed as divine by the makers, so we can't really bring these human ways of romance and intimacy into their bond.
This is the reason why he had even thought he loved Manorama in the first place, because he was too scared to confront what his relationship with Bondita really was. He didn't even let her enter his room when Kaka started his parivarik jeevan jaap because he was scared of himself. He used to always call her his wife, but he was finally confronted with what 'wife' really meant. So he went back to zimmedari mode and blocked everything out, even rebounding in Manorama. It was only during the Manorama track (in my opinion, when Bondita almost lost her life on that cliff), that he realized this companionship that I spoke about in my last post.
So yes, he did fall for her, but not sexually. He did fall for her in a divine and beautiful way.
If you read my other story that I wrote on them, Journey Ahead, I had explained there that even though Bondita was older (20), his love for her was never ever sexual, even at that point. It was always divine. It was always a giving kind of love. Of course sexual intimacy was there in the story at that age, but it was just a byproduct of their divine love, which is honestly what I feel like they're showing in the show.
So for me, it's not about age. I feel like Anirudh just loves Bondita in a divine way.
Sure I'll tag you when I write it. ❤️
I just love the way you put your point across... And I absolutely agree with all your points, especially about the Mano track, our interpretation is the same there...
And I also agree that Rudhi's relationship is divine and beautiful because it is not defined by any one aspect, rather, it is all encompassing... Ani's primary usul of his love for Bon has always been the same irrespective of age - to be whatever Bon needs him to be at any point in time.
The only point where we disagree is on the matter of attraction which I believe was always meant to be swaad anusaar for every viewer. Which again is natural so absolutely no arguments there!
Waise, I have to confess, ever since the periods track, I had always predicted that Rudhi's first kiss would have been Bon walking up to Ani and demanding how it is done, almost identical to your FF... Though I had pegged Bon to be not quite an adult then... Maybe 16-17 years old.
