Hello Folks,
First of all, I am truly glad to see Raghav cry and genuinely repent. I would have hated to see him going into denial and throw tantrums like so many other egoistic ML I've witnessed in ITV life. He cries freely, and it's one of his qualities I really like. However, coming to the point, I hope Antar Aatma Rao makes an appearance once again to help Raghav differentiate between guilt, love stemming out of guilt and genuine love. Raghav needs to complete a journey, from hate to guilt, to forgiveness and love. I hope they just don't jump to intense love very soon because it's still going to be hard for them. (I don't mind the romance and flirting, it's very healthy - even for audience đ) but I'd really like the makers to not package guilt as love. A complete track of him ACTUALLY falling in love will be so nice to watch
I am not sure of what to expect from Pallavi's side right now in terms of falling in love with Raghav, but of course she will, but she has no guilt as she's not done anything wrong. So for her, she will only be able to fall for him when she sees his real side, his softer and caring side and when he actually makes efforts to be a better person.
All in all - Antar Aatma Rao's second appearance is needed soon đ
Totally agree with you. If it goes straight from guilt to 'love' there might be doubts in Pallavi's mind later on if his caring is born out of pity or sympathy. We don't want that. I too, would want a track of him actually falling in love and experiencing the pangs.
Yes, Pallavi will fall for him when she sees his real nature and emotions, unmasked, unguarded.
I always knew he'd have a proper redemption arc because we've seen him crying and suffering in guilt about his past in the early episodes and also when Harish said that he didn't let innocents get punished, it was against his principles. We are getting all that now, and while I love seeing lighter moments and him trying to figure out how to navigate this phase of his life as a husband, I don't mind if he starts with just fulfilling his duties/responsibilities. He's basically a caring person and his guilt will make him overcompensate, which is fine because Pallavi deserves extra TLC.
I have always said that one of the best things about this character is it's challenge to stereotypical MLs and toxic masculinity. He proves that you can be an alpha male and still express your emotions (to both men and women). It doesn't make him any less of a man, in fact I respect him even more for that.
