I agree. On the second point, Priya is 32 even if still a virgin. So it is bit unrealistic for her to behave like an innocent 16 year old, shrinking at the slightest touch. These days even casual friends will sometimes fling a hand over our shoulder for a photo.
Secondly, the desire to get physically intimate is a fundamental part of romantic love. The way Ram claims to love Priya, he shd be dying to hold her close. Only his gentlemanliness shd be holding him back. This button stitching doesnt even make the cut. Priya also is falling for him and should be shown enjoying his touch, his gaze, his compliments (good they showed some of this) against her will.
Thirdly, what is the meaning of asli shadi? In arramged marriages, dont people consummate once they get comfortable, even before they have fallen in love? They understand it is a consensual part of being married. In fact it is the normal expectation that is why Ram casually referred to having kids in the bakery banter scene. So why is Priya behaving like this is an asli shadi but we will never have ahem ahem?
