Rakshit's pov is understandable and commendable but not his behaviour/actions..
They are trying to make a point by adding comedy but it's coming across as insensitive...
Apparently Appu has taken counselling for this very issue which must have been very sensitive phase for her.. and to be treated with rejection from the same husband for whom she braved counselling might leave a great negative impact..
Just because makers are adding comedy should not dilute the sensitive nature of the base issue..
And 1-2 more episodes just like last couple of them will exactly start feeling like disrespectful and rejection for Appu..
Moreover, Rakshit has always been shown as a green forest who understand Appu the best and gives back to everyone with very open mind even in sensitive subjects like condom usage etc., so him not communicating with Appu on this intimacy issue is also not in sync with his character graph..!!
This is exactly what I wanted to emphasize. The physical aspect of a relationship is important but trivializing it and dramatizing this sensitive issue is taking away from the impact of the show . When a person has gone through a horrible experience in the past it is very difficult to trust yourself with another person. The fear and insecurity that Aparajita's past trauma has instilled in her is real but she has been brave enough to seek help to overcome that. Rakshit is going to end up aggravating those insecurities in Aparajita if he continues to avoid her and keep her at a distance. She was always told that she is not good enough, she is a zero, she has no value in anyone,s life and is a burden to all. Rakshit needs to talk things out with her rather than make excuses as his behavior will be eventually misunderstood by Aparajita. He did not say a word to her after finding out that she had been visiting a counselor to overcome her intimacy issues. When she tried to reassure him he disregarded her reassurance and started guilt tripping himself and acting weird. She is already wondering what happened to Rakshit and why he is avoiding her.
