but not the sort she's feeling for Maan
with Dev I believe it was more of an acceptance love
she knew that Dev was the guy she's going to get married too, felt that it was her destiny to marry him and was looking forward to spending the rest of her life with Dev
with Dev it was almost instant love
no-one in her family cared for her the way Dev did (protecting her from Brij, cleaning her wounds, sweet-talk etc)
she felt this loved for the first time
but with Maan she's going through the phase of hatred, respect and then love
she's still has not fully understood Maan
but she wants too
she's not able to control these automatic feelings which have been suddenly switched on
hands shaking after talking to him, long eye-locks, falling in eachothers arms, blushing, smiling to herself, wanting same respect as sasha, thinks her cloths are the reason Maan doesn't pay her attention, caring for his daadi's health, making him coffee, etc
Maan has been with her through her worst-helped her countless number of times, given her lessons on tough love and provided her with the right advice.
I am loving this slow phase of falling in love. She is feeling emotions that have been totally unknown to her and Maan is slowly entering her thoughts and life. It's like she's falling in love for the first time. Maan is her soulmate like she was told by the fortune-teller and hopefully she will realise this soon.
