What i feel is Ratan has mixed feelings for Diya...he definitely respects her as she has protected him and kept him away from all dangers for 12 years. He admires her, because of her bold, fierce and courageous personality - a woman who does not need any protection or support, a princess who can hold her own in a palace where people treat her like some paid guard. He is attracted to her, because she is undoubtedly beautiful and daring, just like he is adventurous and a risk takerI also feel that there are times when Ratan feels the need for some validation as a responsible person alongside being a 'Knight in shining armour' because somewhere there is an undercurrent and inherent feeling of proving to Diya that he is no less than she is, and impress her, which a young man will definitely feel, if he has such a fierce and beautiful "pehredarni". Diya inspires him to be a 'MAN' who can take care of himself
Diya too finds a sort of inspiration from her 'Daata Hukum' to do things which any other woman should know how to do - for instance, in this case cooking. After spending 12 years guarding Ratan she has forgotten the girl/woman she used to be - a carefree fun-loving girl. Ratan inspires her to be a 'WOMAN' who can also do all those chores that women generally do other than working outside
So technically, Ratan and Diya inspire each other to explore those aspects of their personality which they have not explored yet. In Ratan's case it is definitely new, but for Diya, it is that old Diya she has hidden deep within herself to keep up with her position of being 'Baisa Hukum'
