Of course, he was attracted to her for a long time now!! Even 'hatred' is another form of attraction! He just didn't realize it ! Unless you mean just on physical appearance then he started to see that since his birthday party!

Hi Shreya,

As stated in my opening statement, by attraction I mean any form of attraction. Not just physical. The attraction that makes a person do special things for the other to gain her affection or love.

In that aspect, Sameer hasn't done anything with the goal to gain her affection or to make her feel loved in the true sense compared to what Naina has been showering on him. (Here the basis of all what Naina does is her attraction and then love for Sameer)

Hey DD..nice post
U've listed three important factors needed for a good relationship.. love, attraction n adjustments
I feel there is love n adjustments from Sameer's side too

He does love her..many of his gestures during d trip r enough to prove it..it's just he isn't realising it..it'll take time!!

There r adjustments too..d boy who nvr woke up early, not only did so but also went to d temple..only for Naina..there r many other things too.. even though all that came under d cover of d bet, just like his love gestures..he does respect her pavitrata principle..

What he lacks is attraction..it hasn't been shown like he's attracted to Naina yet..atleast directly!!
We'll hv to wait n see how d makers handle dis aspect😊

Hi Anjali,

Yes, he did make some adjustments, but again at that time Sameer did those for bet only. Genuine adjustments are yet to be shown (which Naina has been doing until last episode).

As for attraction - the makers have to show all forms - physical as well as emotional. Both the aspects of love feed and derive strength from each other.

From Sameer's side - there is nothing yet. Yes, he is now emotionally dependent on Naina to some extent.

However, there is a big difference between Sameer being Emotionally Dependent on Naina and Sameer actually being emotionally attracted to Naina (that leads to physical attraction also)

Or else, it becomes one individual giving too much in a relationship and the other one just getting the benefits without investing much emotionally or mentally.

This is Naina's journey and discovery of love, Not Sameer's . They have never shown Sameer ever being romantically inclined towards her except for the times he wanted to win the bet. He has only appreciated her for being nice . I hope they don't show him falling in love with her suddenly out of nowhere. That would be a big disappointment and going the Ekta kapoor way. Let his feelings be restricted to massive amounts of guilt for now. Maybe the story will evolve in the future where he might be attracted to her

Sameer walking away was unexpected but he is not a guy in love that will hang around to clarify things with his GF. It was guilt that made him walk away. Let his love for her be a slow process

Naina has experienced her first love, let her experience her first heartbreak. The story is really progressing well and I hope they don't mess it up. It will be interesting to see Naina handling her heartbreak secretly amongst the agarwal loonies , just like she was able to have a full fledged secret love affair !

Well! to me.. " Mujhe padi hai.. kyunki usko meri padi hai" sums Sameer's feelings towards Naina in one line.
Its a feeling that he has coz he senses her care, concern etc for him.. We will get our answer about Sameer's feelings if in another scenario he says," mujhe uski padi hai, bas.. kyun.. I dont know.."

Naina is in the zone of love - she cares for him unconditionally.. Sameer lays the condition down with this one response of his to MunDit.. For this transcend to love, Sameer has to leave his conditions behind... Until then, for me, it will be a compromise.. Hope the CVs show this chnge in Sameer organically..

Hi Queen, well put lines.

The emotions in regards to Naina are going in normal progression.

But after all, it is supposed to be a story of Sameer - Naina (Until, unless writers plan to show Naina with someone else - I hope they don't do that and spoil everyone's time and mood)

It's been some time - and it is high time for the character of Sameer to show some interest/love wali feeling for Naina. Not guilt or pity.

Or else the show seems like dragging on and on ...

Hey Dr D :) ,Nice topic .I completely agree with you.In my opinion, Sameer is not yet attracted to her and therefore does not love her in the true sense of the word, at least not the way we are looking for.

You had cited three points here, out of which Sameer partially fulfills adjustments. He has made some minor adjustments for Naina. ( temple early mornings, bike repair etc). One can argue that this was done solely for the bet, but I think there were times he went a wee bit further than needed, albeit unknowingly and unintentionally.So he sort of half checks the adjustment box, but has a looong way to go. He is nowhere close to what Naina has done for him.

Love??? I think he likes and cares for Naina like a true friend. He is very fond of her and even protective towards her, but love is yet to blossom.He loves many many things about her, especially her pure heart and giving nature but he is not " in love with her as yet. But it normally doesn't take much time for these feelings of care and concern to get converted to love... provided there is attraction.

Ah!Attraction, the all important component.Sameer is definitely not physically attracted to Naina or taken in by her. Sometimes attraction need not be based on appearance, it could be based on the confidence, personality and behaviour of the person, which creates a feeling of awe and admiration in the other which then translates into attraction.But this is not there either.

I think there is zero attraction from Sameer to Naina. He cares for her due to her nature, but is not attracted to her( the two are different things).He likes her because she loves him so much and makes him feel special. He is also feeling terribly guilty about hurting her.

But does he love her as she is and for what she is?Wil he love her for her strengths and traits ? Will he continue loving her even if she doesnt shower him with attention single mindedly?And most importantly, once she forgives him( which she eventually will, coz she truly loves him), will she continue to occupy the same importance in his life or will she only be given the status of a dear special friend? I believe something more has to happen for Sameer to love her. Else this will be "lovebased on the foundation of guit and remorse. And if that happens, it won't be long before Sameer gets over his guilt and gets attracted to someone else.

Hi, rock & roll,

Perfectly said and you have echoed what I have been saying in this post.

It is high time that makers show the character of Sameer develops real love based attraction for Naina. Attraction can be for any aspect of Naina and he now knows many aspects of her (from bet till Mount Abu)

Even after knowing Naina from such a close proximity, knowing her unending love for him, knowing that she will sacrifice anything for him and will go to any extent to see him smile if Sameer still needs a reason to fall in Love with Naina ---- it just indicates that all he cares for is appearance only.

Not that Naina is not good looking but she does not display it and she is unaware of her beauty. Ironically its the case with many real-life simple girls who are pretty but are unaware of the fact.

As you said, right now Sameer is guilty and stung by Naina's avoidance of him. He has gotten used to her constant care and cannot take her cold behavior. Sameer is an emotional mess and Naina is the filler for it. So, Sameer will do all he can to ask forgiveness (to be free of his guilt) and also get back the support and care of Naina.

But the point is: Does he want Naina back or just the attention/support she was giving to him.

If he wants NAINA - then he has to be in love/attraction with her. If he just wants her support and care (like before), then Sameer is essentially using her as an emotional cushion.

Naina will eventually forgive him (as she will still be in love with him), but what after that. She will still be hoping and be expecting Sameer's love.

Even after all this, IF Sameer is still not in any love with her, then Nanina will be friendzoned!

When Sameer is free from his guilt and gets someone he feels attracted to (and in the meantime using Naina for Moral/Emotional Support), What will then happen of Naina or any other girl in such a situation in real life.

Naina will be left alone to cry and console herself. She will be forced to yet again play the role of quientessential good friend who loves Sameer but sacrifices her love for him.

Therefore, before the makers start showing Sameer trying to "Manao" Naina, at least they should spend minimum a week making Sameer realize that he is hopelessly in love with Naina.(in every way possible physical to emotional)

Without that, it makes no sense.

No one wants to see Sameer Guilty, manaoing Naina, free from guilt and then ... what?
