Exactly! Considering SSP's usual style, their mind has the ideas that would have Rudhita being really attached and that's what would happen if it was real too, that's why we water those ideas so much. But again, the show is really vulnerable and can come under threat if not handled very carefully. People here forgave Bondita for her embarrassing speech which doesn't go with her usual character (writing mishap) because she was a kid but Aniruddh, they are totally clueless about that man.
Serial Aniruddh is scared to think of Bondita, or his feelings or to face the reality of their relationship. That's why I am telling, even in future for him it would be weird to accept that he is in love with her (if he ever does) because of the age and situation in which he married her and all his inhibitions about her. That dude literally babysit Bondita, so falling in love with her would be something he would never be ready for and obviously he will, but he will be in a really big denial because of the reasons stated.
Yup SSP is really good at establishing good and adorable bond slowly like people start yearning for them. I agree they must have great ideas regarding how to shape up Rudhita's relationship but are worried about the reactions it may get. Already some people without watching it sprout nonsense about it so maybe they are being very careful.
But till now they have handled it very well. I mean in general a guy in 20s marrying a kid is not acceptable at all but when one watches the series you can't help but ship them( not romantic in any way😆)
They are avoiding showing Ani's pov regarding all this. Its not clear what are his motivations for all the things he is doing for Bondita, we don't know whether he is just doing it for challenge or to prove to his father that he can take this responsibility or he is actually getting attached to Bondita. He is never shown Thinking about her in general. And he seems very conflicted maybe because he is against child marriage and doesn't know what to do about it.
I feel they can show him a bit attached to her and there is nothing wrong in it. It is set in pre independence era. You don't have to love every person romantically. You can generally care for a person whom you like or who is a wonderful person. Bondita is a bright adorable kid, and its impossible not to like her. They can just show him growing to care for her and love her for the person she is platonically from being just a responsibility. As a person who is genuinely important for him and whose happiness genuinely matters for him or a friend who he cares for dearly.
