Okay I don’t know if I’m simply overthinking this and trying to look for details that don’t exist.. but here goes nothing!
In my opinion, every single date planned by fateh and jasmine goes south. It either drives a wedge between them or just makes fateh uncomfortable in some manner (and this could be monumental in redeeming him).
The first one in the mall didn’t go as planned and fateh kept squirming most of the time.
The second one didn’t materialize and had him running back home where he witnessed tejo’s kindness for the millionth time and it shook him.
The third one in that restaurant started with him being preoccupied with tejo’s thoughts and later being visibly tensed and terrified at the mention of tejo leaving him.
The fourth one ended with them fighting over dinner.
I think the makers are trying to establish that despite fateh’s pendulum like behavior, there’s still the whole element of “confusion and guilt” because fateh hasn’t mOvEd On 🤡
