I'm honestly clueless of whatever is happening.
They show Virat refrains from having physical contact with Pakhi as far as possible. Yesterday when she fainted or felt dizzy he only held her once to make her sit down. No touching from his end today he placed her his hand on her hand (it wasn't in bad sense if you look that way, it wasn't cringe) but Pakhi doesn't feel bad neither Virat feels guilty either for mentioning how he lost will to live after Sai passed away & Pakhi understands it...
Hope he continues calling her Patralekha... Tbh what I see so far from V's end it's gratitude & sympathy only atleast till today's episode...
