Another reason I found why he was all touchy touchy today for the first time.
Because on the call he got to know that Vidhi's family knows about them now , so he let down his guards
And he can't see her tears / in pain / hurting. It's as simple as that. He forgets all the can't / should not he has in his head in the face of her agony.
I like it. It's instinctive, no pause to think through or any kind of hesitation. A firm touch filled with reassurace - both to her and to himself. His love comes through in that one gesture.
