No, it was not at all about being mahaan, but just that was not his truth to reveal either. Should have rejected and walked off. But then she started off this RaghVi story. Lets see if she comes back, he did mention Anjali today.

I would like to see her again. She was a real piece of work.

Yes, the alcohol is playing with his mind and making things works, and despite knowing it's harmful he still turns to it because the pain in his heart is too much to bear. I feel as if a part of him never grew up, since he was estranged from his family at an age when boys turn into adults and need parental guidance more than ever. He needs counseling because the trauma of the past and his sense of loneliness is eating him alive and leading him to a path of self-destruction. If he doesn't sort out all this mess and work towards proper resolution,

Farhad may be his best friend and brother, but there's a limit to how much he can influence Anna within the employer-employee boundaries. I know Amma has been grieving all these years but I really feel that if she could just extend him a hand, he has the potential to be the 'good boy' that we see in flashbacks. Of course, I do think he is too far gone to become a goody two shoes, and let's be honest none of us want to see that Raghav Rao.

I really hope Raghav doesn't do the same type of thing with Pallavi because I don't think I could ever accept him as Pallavi's soulmate, no matter how much he repents. Some things once damaged, can never be restored and I don't want to see Pallavi go through this. I know and hope she won't act like a victim and be more of the survivor but it's going to hurt her because somewhere deep down she does care for Raghav. The sense of betrayal will always be a dark cloud hanging over their relationship and while she's generous and warm towards people by nature, when some lines are crossed even she will find it hard, if not impossible, to forgive, forget and move on in life with Raghav. Mandar's arrival would be even more of an interesting twist in that case where he would have no leg to stand on to ask Pallavi to stay. His gangster tactics aren't going to work.

Based on Amma's dialogues today, I do think it's quite likely she will make him marry Pallavi after the scandal that will ensue. I also think Nikhil is going to get in huge trouble, especially now that he's seen what Raghav has been up to, and might end up sabotaging his business to get back at him. Won't turn out well for the kid at all. 😔

@bold red- I think the reason he resorts to alcohol is diff..Yes the pain of not being able to make it right between him and his amma is there.. So the alcohol helps in sublimating that pain but what it also does is free him of any guilt or accountability because drinking is obviously gonna blurr it all out- right versus wrong..it makes it easier for him to put the blame on x,y,z person that way because in his senses he probably knows where he goes wrong even if his king size ego doesnt let him admit it.

I think both Farhad and Keerthi can do more than they are doing to get Raghav and amma together.. yes the path to redemption he will have to walk alone..not even Pallavi can do that for him... All these people can only be the guiding force and positive influence on him that he desperately needs.. Farhad tries to be the moral compass for him, but his role in his life has been defined and restricted so he consciously doesnt tread the line unless it goes out of hand ..But Keerthi being the sister can do more if she can be less unforgiving like their amma and if she can show more maturity than Raghav..She has the power to positively influence Raghav but unfortunately she has never tried to use it to make things better for their family's own good.

Pallavi has stood upto Raghav so far partly because of her own fighting spirit which flares up in Raghav's presence and partly because she has her ayi baba as her support system. Yes, baba has been miffed at her on Raghav's issue but Pallavi knows that he still cares for her and the anger is coming from a place of concern for her which is what she tells her brother when he tries to intervene. But now Raghav is gonna break that very backbone, that very support system in her life.. this time she will lose her ayi baba, their trust and a place in their lives. That is definitely gonna take a toll on her emotionally because the feeling of abandonment is gonna make her feel like an orphan all over again.

Completely agree with what you've said. From the point of a view of an elderly lady just wanting a quiet and peaceful, dignified life, Raghav keeps putting her in these situations where he feels humiliated. Just when she thinks there's a ray of hope, he dashes them with his actions. I still feel that Pallavi alone won't be enough - he will need all three ladies in his life to help him.

One more thing, he genuinely wanted the best for Keerti and to be as supportive as possible. The intention was right, the approach was wrong but he didn't see that. So when Keerti sided with Pallavi and gave him those looks of feeling ashamed and disgusted by his behavior, that hurt him a lot. Combine that with the tongue lashing his mother gave him right after, didn't help. I can't believe he was about to hit Nikhil in his own house! Not saying that I would expect the Raghav Rao to just stand there while Nikhil hits him, but the kid was in his rights to get angry and lose his cool. However, it only made Amma feel even more disappointed and humiliated when she saw live what her son was up to. Brute force isn't the answer to all problems, and Raghav needs to get that. He knows that all he has is money, and his loneliness is overpowering but his arrogance gets in the way of pointing fingers at himself. As his mother said before, timing is everything and he needs to be more aware of time, place, and context before he acts. Dude needs a lot of work in the EQ space.

If intentions dont go hand in hand with execution, then the best of intentions get wasted. If he really wanted to help Keerthi, which I think was not the whole reason but part of the reason he went to D house (the other part being to be around Pallavi) then he should have

1. Asked Keerthi, if she needed anything first which yes she would have denied but the way he tried to help only had Keerthi feel embarrassed. Imagine your brother doing that?.

2. If he really wanted to help, there is a way to help.. you dont just go to someone's house, ransack everything and start barking orders around. I mean who does that?

Obviously Keerti will side with Pallavi.. what was she supposed to say when her brother was acting like toddler bully, grabbing the camera, talking like trash... He could have said politely, like " hey! I want this photoshoot to go really nice.. I can help with the equipments and post shoot editing and all ' If Pallavi had insulted him then I would have 200% blamed Pallavi. But why should people around him put up with his brash and arrogance, assuming the guy has good intentions so what if he broke my camera and ruined my set up.. Aisa nahi hota yaar..

If Raghav puts his mind into it, its not that difficult to figure out that people including his amma have a problem with his way of execution, not his intentions per se

Why will police arrest Amma then🤔

As an accomplice to Keerthi..like ma beti dono milke "dhanda" karte hain...

very well said and you have the best analysis of Raghav in fact. But that is his underlying problem. his temper and ego, that overpowers everything and everyone.

For Pallavi, its the otherway around, too much naive and nice. If she had asked aka punished Sulo for maligning her name with the joota abortion thing, I would think she wouldn't have dared to do something like this for Keerthi..

Both have their flaws and will complete each other when together.

They are both flawed yes.. we all are.. But his temper and ego negatively affects the lives of people around him..Pallavi being the latest victim.. Pallavi however, with her own set of flaws doesnt hurt anyone around her, atleast not intentionally.

And no I dont think Pallavi confronting Sulochana would have deterred her from going ahead with her plans.. If anything, it would have made her more vindictive against Pallavi. Hell, that woman doesnt care about her own husband warning her to throw her out of the house, her own daughter disowning her, Pallavi ki kya aukaat unke samne? Fact is Sulochana was exposed, humiliated and she should know that she will be the first one people will doubt to be the one behind Keerthi's scandal, but that didnt stop her from playing dirty.. so that woman really has no self respect, shame or any humanity in her.. If she had her face blackened and made to sit on a donkey amd humiliated infront of the entire town, she will still not backdown.
