You are quoting me even before I edit my post. lol
May be I am not able to make myself clear to you. Anyways..
Mental Alekh stood-up for his "DOST" and cared for his "DOST" not for his wife. He was like another 10 year boy who would fight for his friend. Did he even know the real meaning of marriage ? Sadhana could not even share her true feelings with him, he was so much dependent on her. They need to revive their relationship at a grown-up level (the next level lol) and that doesn't mean just physical...its emotional, mental and spiritual as well.
thats why I said...its not that they didn't have a emotional connection...it was the complexity of Alekh's character that didn't allow them to be "real husband and wife".......but when Alekh did come to adult hood, he still never understood.......when his turn to be not a dost and a husband he fell short. So, the lack is not emotional its circumstances once again....
