Tejasswi's Pratha and Abhishek's Ritesh Gujral scenes and banter was actually fun and sweet tbh. His character is a fun-loving flirt but sweet kinda guy so I guess a friendship between the two is on the cards. Probably a devar-bhabhi bond the way things are progressing. Actually I liked Ritesh Gujral much more than Rishab's too serious persona, minus the not standing up to his fiance part obviously.
Also I don't think the Professor is supposed to have any romantic relationships in the show as of now. The guy is all exposition & plot-points and no character. 😆 Tho I hope it changes with time. Personally speaking I reeaallly want to see the professor interact with Pratha (cause Manit and Teja will defo look sooo good and also) cause the professor hasn't actually interacted with anyone else other than Mahek's naagin and the monks. Whatever be the case, I just don't want them to waste Manit the actor. He's sooo good, Ekta, please use him properly!!
