The Payal is already a connection between them and it would be honestly such a great thing if that connection becomes a nagging feeling for Omkara. Not enough to keep him restless but enough that he can't shake the thought of that girl from his head. The "romantic" moments between ChulKara are "romantic" only because we know Chulbul is actually Gauri. And it's her who is feeling the butterflies of the proximity. Omkara is always chilled now that the Bina Bijli Ke Current thing has been written off from them. How amazing would it be if the reverse happens with Omkara and the Jagratha Wali Ladki? And it's not like it's morally wrong. WE know that the girl is Gauri so it won't even take any of the feels away! By being with Chulbul Omkara has unconsciously learned about Gauri's values and what makes her strong. With that JWL, Omkara can know about Gauri's weaknesses and even her feminine strength. They ARE two sides of one coin anyway. Both Chulbul and JGW can provide the basis for Omkara to realize that he WAS misunderstood about Gauri and his encounters with them can be the important reasons due to which Omkara will be forced to NOT simply dismiss Gauri once the truth is revealed.
I'm enjoying DBO now that it's going back on track. Kali Thakur's entry is proving to be wonderful for the show as all the crazy, OTT "raaz" antics are being written out and instead proper mystery and drama is being given focus. But amidst all this...our complain and wish regarding wanting to see the love story of Omkara still remains more or less the same. CVs have a good chance of providing us that without compromising the major reveal that's meant for the post-IPL days. I really hope we get some semblance of romance in this month if not a proper romantic track. Kab tak latka ke rakhenge humein? š
