Ok. Saw the episode. I may be in minority, but I liked the episode no doubt drama quotient was bit overdone but that's fine after all it's ITV😆
As soon as Deep told him about how MeetH helped him... He was looking for her.. when Babita told aout ILU Manushi thing he was shocked.. n he did realise that MeetH must be very hurt...
Even if Deep had not told him he knew that MH must be hurt n what she did was not easy.. I was okay with his friend waking him up from Manushi delusion. Till now, MA knows how good hearted MH is n she can go to any extent to help/save him.. we have already seen that in Birthday episode too. What was needed was that he should stop festering his old wounds n wallowing in his sorrow of humiliation n betrayal... N who better than his best friend to do that..
His apology MH looked honest to me... He no doubt was serious about his relation with Manushi... n loved whatever picture she presented about her... So his declaration looked genuine..
For me, he is definitely slowly, unknowingly falling for MH but for him to realise it he first need closure from manushi... he need to first hand see what n who Manushi is.
