Exactly. What I have been trying to explain here, and finally did, *huff*😆, which I guess some thought as me equating Raghav Rao and Maya Mehrotra, the psycho. Never.
What I was equating was the phase when Maya was slowly acknowledging Arjun and registering his importance in her life. Maya was closed off to men and treated them like dirt because of her bitter childhood, but Arjun seeped inside that cold exterior with his simplicity and could care less attitude. He was always frank, honest and gave it back to Maya in good measure. Everyone feared Maya, but Arjun never did. Maya was not taken in physically by Arjun, never. She began registering Arjun when, when he saved her when the lift that stopped, or when he protected her from her father, or when they worked together to find a culprit in her office. That is when she registered that Arjun is not so bad after all. She was emotionally and psychologically invested in Arjun after the lift incident, physically, never.
After that certain things began to sway her heart, like Arjun dancing in the rain with kids freely, or making her feel special, or acknowledging the chance she gave him to be a photographer. All that built Maya's feelings for Arjun, till she began acknowledging Arjun as a potential lover, and Saanjh's presence began to irk her.
Yahaan, koi Saanjh to hai nahi. Aur na hi apna hero villain hai. Sirf peshe se villain hai, niyat se nahi😆. So Raghav's behaviour graph is following that same pattern, in my opinion. He may not be actually physically that invested as he may get emotionally invested. Pallavi, being a good person, may help him in situations, where no one ever did. Pallavi being Pallavi will prove she is different, with her actions, and helping Raghav in his moments of weakness will be one of those turning points where he will emotionally begin to register and acknowledge Pallavi. He will fight it with denial, but won't be able to stop himself. Just like Maya gave in to her feelings, Raghav will too.
Raghav is not the typical AYM hero you know. And neither his treatment as a character is shown that way. He is same same yet different. So, I think it won't be first physical. It will be emotional, psychological and then physical. But the trip, fall, catch should stop for now given the situation.
