Mohan currently is NO young popular, happy go lucky celebrity, neither is he a larger than life character living in a metro city. He is from a traditional UP family background too, a single parent raising a girl child. And most important he is NOT Abhishek Prem Mehra of KKB, period.
Middle aged or even bit older man be it with or without kids as a widower/divorcee, finding love again is not a rare plot onscreen,π man might be shown as bitter, tough, lonely, aggressive, sad with baggage that needs healing. But in most of well received or successful films/shows around this plot, love got written and presented with dignity, maturity & decency to stay in sync with the man's character as well, and to connect properly with most viewers.
If we park aside overused & wrongly used mythology/devotion angle for a minute too, this RM story concept isn't any mills & boons college romance or boy meets girl or centered around sensuousness, drenched in rains ogling. π³(those types could have been shown in FB scenes with Mohan-Tulsi as they were truly college lovers turned young married couple, so becomes more relatable to viewers).
A sensibility was needed in writing and showing a gradual progression & approach towards a platonic love in a respectful manner which majority viewers can connect with. Mind you most prime time TV shows are largely watched, sitting with families. π
