I don't think there is any doubt that Veer loves Ichcha. What one needs to see is how much hurt (and I don't just mean the recent happenings) has he been able to make excuses for, till he finally took this stand.
Once he has taken this stand will his pride win or his love?? Interesting episodes to look forward to.........as long as they do not complicate it with more issues. We already have Mai's wishes to contend with.
I would really like to see Veer making a stand (whatever it may be) this time and sticking to it. That will show that someone other then Jogi has the courage of his convictions.
