First of all, let me start off by saying that this is my first post, and this show is the reason I joined this forum anyway!
I recently started watching this show (had quite a bit of catching up to do) but what can I say? I am BLOWN away. The main characters have their roles down to a solid perfection. Urmi's acting is simply heart-achingly gorgeous, filled with just the right amount of naivete, sensitivity, and vitality. I usually can't stand hindi dramas with all the catty-eyes and all the evil women (at least, we only have one...kind of.)
But! Coming to their relationship... in the beginning, I got a queasy feeling watching these two interact, and Urmi's blunt attachment to her sister and, what it seems like now, to Aadesh. Does anyone see a similarity? It seems to me that Urmi has transferred a lot of that affection she felt for Manali for Aadesh...and slowly, ever so slowly, Aadesh is warming up to Urmi in the way he feels when he is with her. With Manali gone (I swear, she just exudes this certain warmth and charmisa that I wish I had a sister/bhabi like her!) Aadesh is healing through Urmi. He is learning to laugh again, learning to find wisdom in her words.
There was this scene that totally broke my heart--remember that episode with Urmi's apology-card...and that anguished, raw, raw, stare Aadesh gives Urmi as a tear trickles down. All I am trying to get at is that these two characters really affect one another in ways that nobody else affects them, and if you can't call that love, then I don't know what love is at all.
I kind of disagree with a lot of people saying he'll feel duty towards her. Whatever it is, I think they really do have great chemistry together. There is something irresistibly high and tight in the air when they are together.
Was I the only one who felt a throb in her throat when Aadesh tells Babaji off, solemnly saying he doesn't need anyone's sahara? Gooshhh...*hand at heart* I confess, I don't want to think of a physical relationship between Aadesh and Urmi now (unless she starts looking/acting like 18 and has a clue or two as to what shaadi really entails) but for moral support, for a kind of platonic love, I think they are perfectly cathartic for each other.
Like the Manali-Urmi duo, I find it hard to imagine Aadesh without Urmi, or vice versa. They simply would not survive.
Sorry for such a long post! Had to get it all off my chest! Can't wait for future eps!!!

Yup-their chemistry is amazing. That is exactly what prompts me to come yap after each episode. Very unique and unusual pairing that really seems to have hit it off.

Oddgalout--- Haha, yesssssss!
Btw, I've been reading your analysis (had a huuuuuuuuuge reply, then the screen froze and lost all of it, so then I gave up. Will try again later!) and we have similar ideas! I was just re-listening to the promo and I think Aadesh says something like how he promises to give Urmi even more love than Manali...sounds like wedding bells to me. I do think there's a love base to their relationship, as well as a duty-base. And I do think A will marry Urmi out of a reactionary way of being able to support her, but it will deepen over time to something more hopefully to like affection.
In a way, unless she is miraculously "cured" (that's not even the right word) I don't see Urmi having a real husband-wife relationship. No matter how many tricks she learns, honestly, she doesn't understand the weight of her selfless commitment to Aadesh. But you know what? I am totally fine with that. I really don't mind the kindness shared between the two.

I just finished watching the golgappa scene again-I don't know how many times I've watched it in the span of a day. Do reply to my analysis if u get a chance (lol so far I think I've scared away all who have read it and mostly no one replies but I just keep at it nonetheless)-I usually yap everyday about the A-U scenes. When u look back on the older episodes even then it's pretty apparent that Aadesh has almost always understood Urmi even more then Manali. In particular the episodes where she scolds/slaps Urmi and Aadesh points out to Manali that she really shouldn't have. The one that sticks out in particular is the one where Urmi breaks the dishes and Manali scolds her. His whole way of tackling it all was right on.

For Urmi I think right now it's like one of those little kid crushes at the superficial level but at a much deeper level she really does hold him very close to her heart and I think Aadesh reciprocates whole heartedly-I just feel she is more consistent with her loyalty then he is (he has his moments but she never gives up on him-e.g. remember when he was upset about Urmi accusing his dad or more recently when for a day he distanced himself from her after his mom/Buaji gave him an earful about societal norms etc-where as she has never done that to him). My guess for the scene with them getting married is Aadesh will react to the marriage card saying he won't break his aathvan vachan and the only way he can hold true to his promise and still get married is by marrying Urmi (now if that isn't a slap in Buaji's face).

Buaji's irrational attempt to change Urmi won't do the trick but I think later on Aadesh helping Urmi out sincerely and with genuine concern will do the trick. Then she'll be his wife in a truer sense. Though no lies I already know I probably won't enjoy that A-U relationship as much I enjoy this one. This one is just so complex (and yet so simple and innocent) and different then the ones defined by societal norms. And yet so much deeper then normal socially accepted relationships that are more often then not quite superficial. I mean just take for example these people coming out and expecting this man to marry again as if it is child's play. It hasn't even been all that long. It amazes me and is kinda saddening too to see that no one sees through that the only way A-U have managed to cope with losing Manali is by having each other. They've managed to pick up the pieces a lot quicker then had they not had each other. All the rest seem so oblivious to this fact.
