Will Raghav get everything he wanted, though? Something tells me his loneliness will remain to a great extent. While he is still that 17-year-old somewhere who longs to reunite with his family, the three Raos changed over the years because of the difficulties they faced. There's been a loss of innocence all-round that can never come back. Moreover, the fact that he manipulated Pallavi to get married is something that Keerti isn't going to accept easily. So while they will be physically living under one roof, there will still be some emotional distance. Amma might choose to look the other way for now but even she can't do that forever. Marrying Pallavi isn't going to automatically fix their problems or make Raghav come back on track. It needs effort that no one is willing to put in right now. Amma has a lot of expectations from both Raghav and Pallavi that neither is in a position to address and this will cause confusion and unhappiness in their lives.
On the other hand, while Pallavi might feel she has lost everything, this is probably the first time in ages where she has no one else to worry about or take responsibility for except herself. This is long overdue and will help her reflect on what she wants in life. Sure, she will give Raghav a hard time, and that makes sense but after a point she will think about bigger things, perhaps her dreams and personal goals. I could never see her being able to have that thinking time while she was with the Deshmukhs. It will also give her a chance to see what family life can actually be like because I expect Amma and Keerti to treat her genuinely as their own, and give her the respect and attention that she needs and deserves. She will eventually realize who really is on her team and who stands by her during tough times.
That's an interesting perspective. If we look at things that way then this is the best thing to have happened to Pallavi from audiences point of view.. We know that living with the Deshmukhs was like a bondage..responsibilities and duties that she actually felt obliged to do because of the promise she made to Mandhar. But somewhere down the line, she moulded herself into that life and believed this is the family she was born into, not brought into as a bahu. We know that the worry, the unnecessary pressure of taking the entire family's responsibility on her shoulder was restricting her own personal growth and she had completely forgotten that besides being the bahu/daughter/sister, she is an individual too who has the right to be happy for herself, think about herself and herself alone for once.. However, that's the life she has seen and lived, up until now where she feels her happiness, her family and Mandhar's memories lie.. and being stripped away of all that is gonna break her.. Eventually what's gonna happen we all know but right now she does seem to get the raw end of the deal.
Raghav, on the other hand, will have realistic chances of making amends with amma and Keerthi.. Keerthi, will give a cold shoulder to him sure.. but being the pragmatic and sensible girl that she is, she should know that this time its her Amma who orchestrated all this.. she is the one who literally blackmailed Raghav into marrying Pallavi.. And with Amma, all he has to do is try and keep it cordial with Pallavi for now..I think he is at a much better place than he was ever before..
Now how much Pallavi cooperates with him to keep things cordial, that's the real question..she is gonna make it difficult for Raghav and that should be fun.
