Yes, I do foresee him going through periods of frustration when his attempts fail and she keeps trying to put up walls. He will have to get creative to disarm her, and we know he's capable of quirky ideas. Bring it on, RR!
Regarding her devotion to the Deshmukhs and him respecting her for it, well we all predicted this would happen, so far it's good. I just didn't think it would be shown so soon after the wedding, but fine. He now has to build a roadmap of where he wants to go with this, as hinted by his alter ego. It won't be a surgical strike like last time, he'll have to adapt and course correct as he gets to know her better.
It will be special indeed because if Amma and Keerti's current behavior is any indication, he will have them physically in his home but there will be this emotional distance between them. Not for a long while, I think. Later on, only Pallavi can fill the void and the way he's fought to keep Amma and Keerti with him, he'll do whatever it takes to make things better between his wife and him. He started off this marriage on the backfoot and he knows he'll have to work extra hard. Reminds me of the situation with Mr. Bajaj of KZK S1, who was always afraid he could lose Prerna/she could walk out any moment because she was forced to marrying him. There was nothing keeping her there or holding her back. Raghav will feel insecure about this with or without Mandaar in the picture. The day she regains her self-confidence and figures out what she wants to do in life, she can just walk out and be independent. She won't need him and this will make him worried. On what basis will he ask her to stay back and build a life with him? After his current guilt trip, he will probably get to a point later on where he will not stop her, even if he knows that Pallavi leaving might mean Amma and Keerti leaving again, and him being thrown back into that loneliness he had tried so hard to overcome.
Sigh... I'm loving this...
