Don't think Khanak is insecure. Not as yet. She has no idea what the relationship is between Shaan and Sam. All she knows is that those three words, ILU, are very important and she is not familiar with friends saying that to each other.
Sam is being a bit clueless as well. Does she not know that a wife is different from a friend, however 'best' the friend is?
People, if we start asking questions like- is a friend more or less important than a spouse, can a married person not have a close friend, can a married person not spend night talking to a close friend, can a married person not disclose family problems to a close friend, etc etc, we are getting into a grey area here. The answers are not clear cut.
But there is a general idea... call it a rule if you wish... but generally speaking, if you are married, then you have some expectations from a spouse which you cannot expect from a friend. And you give something to the spouse which you never will to a friend (physical, emotional, etc). A friend is not the same as spouse. Friend can become spouse. Spouse can become a friend. But a best friend is not the same as spouse.
Forgive us married women (and men if there are any married men in this forum) for saying this again and again. We r just saying from our experience. which you blessed unmarried souls cannot question at this point of time😆
