The love that exists between Cārudatta and Vasantasenā is clearly very strong as it endures throughout all manner of trials and tribulations. As a Brahmin, a member of the elite social caste, Cārudatta should not be mixing with a courtesan like Vasantasenā. Throw in the fact that he's a married man and you have another reason why he shouldn't be involved in such a relationship. However, the very fact that Cārudatta is prepared to go against the prevailing social norms in being with Vasantasenā would seem to suggest that he's genuinely in love with her.

As for Vasantasenā she's positively thrilled to have found a man who loves her for herself, who's prepared to ignore her public image as a courtesan and see the woman beneath, a woman who needs to be loved. Vasantasenā responds to her lover's overtures by entrusting Cārudatta with a casket of jewelry, which unbeknownst to her, will cause them both a considerable amount of trouble later on.

In a case of mistaken identity, Cārudatta is falsely accused of murdering Vasantasenā and stealing her jewels. But just before he's about to be executed, Vasantasenā makes a dramatic appearance. It turns out that she was alive all along. Vasantasenā could've remained in hiding, but she chose to come forward and save her lover's life. In doing so, she displayed once more just how much she loves Cārudatta.
