i know what love is and what physical intimacy is......Naitik loves her that's why he's trying to get close to her (which is very natural) and Akshara wants the same, yet she's stopping herself bec. she thinks they're not in love that doesn't make any sense whatsoever to me...therez no harm if husband wife TOUCH each other , at least feel comfortable in each others company, THAT'S exactly what the process of falling in love is...or is it that after Akshara thinks she's crossed all 4 stages, some magic will happen and she'll be ready to consummate her marriage with Naitik? all of a sudden she'll be comfortable with him touching her?
