The hug will be remembered as one of the most iconic scenes on ITV even if it wasn't romantic per say. I think everyone swooned over the fact that two people can become closer without force or unnecessary passion or anything. It could be as simple as trauma or pain without deep sobbing. I think the simplicity of the shot won many over. Even i am done with that overtly aggressive Alpha males. May be in my teens but I think we all have grown up since 😅That hug bought me back to the show. I stopped watching the show because of its slow pace but that hug My crush on Karanvir has become more strong now 😆I loved how Anokhi grabbed his jacket and Shaurya kept his hand below her chin and gently lifted her face and stared into her eyes *swoons* Shaurya is not a bad guy. He was genuinely concerned about Anokhi. It's just he has faced lot of crap from his parents but I like how he is a nice guy. I hope CVs don't turn him into a regular ITV male lead who loves abusing the female lead in the name of love.
