17, 19, 21 for Payal and Aakash for the OTP asks please?
Sorry I'm being so greedy!
Haha no no I like greedy people XD And thank you for enthusiastically taking part in the OTP asks!
17) What senses (sights, smells, feelings, etc). remind them of each other?
Akash: Busy markets, fabrics, chikankari, potatoes, diyas, sunrise, incense, kajal, silver, zardozi and love remind him of Payal
Payal: white, doves, lenses, chandeliers, embers, fireworks, fresh water, clean linen, ittr, comfort and home remind her of Akash
19) If they could each write a single line in their marriage vows, what would they be?
Akash: "If life gets to us, then remind me, I was never happier than the day you agreed to marry me."
Payal: "I will always be with you Akash, no matter what happens."
21) How have they changed each other for the better/for the worse?
As we saw in the show, the lack of privacy and their utter dedication to their family can make them grow apart as they have no time for each other.
Since they both know they love and chose each other, they forget that they still need to learn about each other and need to communicate - they both overestimate the other's understanding.
Akash has really grown into his own post marriage. Especially with Payal. He realises focusing on self isn't a bad thing. His sense of humor has increased (given how much he loves Payal's laughs). And finally, he has become more expressive. Also, he has stopped blaming others or putting responsibilities of events on others and focuses more on what he can do.
Payal has learned to communicate - demand conversations if necessary. She is less hurt, knows how much weight to give to events. She does not hide anything from Akash and is more resolute about what she instinctively feels right.
