The problem with the idea of romantic love is that people feel you fall in love and that's it. There's your happily ever after. Except it NEVER lasts. The feeling goes away, the honeymoon period disappears, and then you have to work every single day to keep your relationship alive. There are days when you wake up and you completely hate your partner, days you don't want to look at his/her face, days you're done and the love is gone. But you keep going, you find the reason to love, you respect your partner, you show trust in them. That is why relationships last. Respect and friendship keeps relationships together. Not passion. Because passion is so waning.
I wrote this on another thread but Anurag and Prerna for all their love never worked. The only time they worked was when they were friends. They legitimately worked. The moment they fell in love, literally the moment they confessed, their relationship fell apart. In all that time, they couldn't build a solid relationship on love. It was tinged with hate, miscommunication, toxicity, lack of respect, trust and misunderstandings. They couldn't function as a couple, and that's about it.
Prejaj on the other hand already show patience and trust for each other. The little monologue Prerna had about him always informing her about everything shows how routine it is for her that the moment he doesn't do it she panics. He addressed her going to Anurag because he exactly knows the limits she can go to for her people. And his family has now become her people.
Another interesting contrast. They both approach the same problem in two different ways. She, again selfless, ready to beg Anurag for that family. And him, again, ruthless, ready to destroy Anurag for his family. And what's even more interesting is the fact that they both knew the other. Prerna knew he could do this, he will do this if his hand was forced. And Rishab knew Prerna had come here to request for his family at the cost of her own emotional labor because that's who she is at her core. That level of nuanced understanding that already exists is beautiful.
