These romantic feelings definitely feel a little out of place considering that their misunderstandings have not even been addressed properly, leave alone them being cleared. It is not even that they have mutually decided to let bygones by bygones and give their relationship a brand new lease of life. It makes absolutely no sense that Pallavi is being more vocal about her feelings because firstly, she is the one that's deeply haunted by the past. She absolutely hated Nikhil for cheating her and breaking her trust. But now she's defending and trying to protect him like nothing's happened between them.
Even if they've come together for Nikhil's mother, they should've ideally used it as an opportunity to work on helping their kids. But no, they're themselves behaving like teenagers who just fell in love. It is not organic for 40-45 year old parents to ignore their kids' challenges.
Current projection of NikVi is not that of ideal parents but of parent pleasing children. They're putting up a facade for Dadi and have almost forgotten to deal with their own kids. For the kind of mother that Pallavi was shown as, she should ideally be dealing with Manna-Ishaan-Barkha, Gagan's job and accident, and also Badal finding out about Sonali. She chose to just ignore everything.
IKNMP was a good show- despite its flaws, it never felt extremely out of place. They were parents who understood what their kids were going through and always came together to solve problems. Their misunderstandings were cleared much before they chose to stay together, so any gesture or moment felt genuine.
Rajashree and Cezanne are such wonderful actors with a sizzling chemistry, yet they're being underutilized. These few scenes were definitely a treat for us fans to watch, but we're here first for the story. They cannot dilly dally around like this and leave the rest up to our imagination. If there's an imminent separation, they should work on the characters before getting them back together and ending the show.
