I know we're all frustrated with the Deshmukhs...but after today, I really want to find out more about the Vijay-Sharda-Mandaar dynamics. The groundwork was laid so well, that we all had these suspicions, beautifully confirmed by Sharda today. They've been laying groundwork for this since way back, as early as the first 20 episodes, which honestly makes me think this entire track has been well thought through.

The chaarminar visual has to be significant, and I agree with the destiny aspect. I was remembering another episode where they cut to shots of chaarminar so significantly- it was after Pallavi was kicked out of the house. That night was a manifestation of their first encounter too, when he splashed mud on Pallavi, which is exactly what the lies did that night. Just an interesting observation.

I hope it plays out positively too! The thing I've loved about this show is that it's such a good escape, with drama, humour, romance, family, all mixed up. If they take the show in too dark a territory, I feel like a return to the lightheartedness I love so much will be hard :( So I hope this is all executed with sensitivity and nuance and logic.

I didn’t remember Ved was in jail at that time but if he was, how did he know Raghav was there that night and how did he know Mandar. Was this date before Ved went to jail ? Dates are always misleading in the show, we never know. By what they have shown, Ved surely seems to know Raghav was there and the way he was searching on the internet, first I had thought he wasn’t sure what happened to Mandar but later realised he might have been searching for evidence of that night to use it against Raghav. His thoughts of how such a big incident was never reported makes me think it was some big accident or some shady encounter which was one of Raghav’s mission.
@bold, hope so but this was anyway predicted to happen. Raghav was a Don and he was involved in illegal diamond business so this is going to hit closer to reality.

I hate the position Pallavi is in now. She doesn't even know what's happening, these emotional flip flops from Raghav, him withdrawing suddenly after having been so invested. In no world does she deserve any of this.

Breaking the fast before time, that too with alcohol, combined with Pallavi's prayers today...she's definitely in harm's way.

On ETA- Ohh, whoops, Reddit lingo that I'm just used to now, so I carried it here accidentally. It stands for 'Edited to Add', which I use if I'm adding a new point to the post once I've already made it and others have reacted/responded.

Pallavi is going to get injured while saving Raghav...and Raghav will have to resort to prayers and move heaven and earth to save her. This I felt because of the savitri satyavan story Pallavi was telling him which he seemed not tonpay attention to but he was paying attention. But Raghav would be introuble only due to Mandar for a Pallavi sake. Both of them are going to try to sacrifice for each other.

I feel for Pallavi too ..the girl deserves happiness....she doesn't know anything. But at least she knows now that Ved is back. And that Raghav panicked for her and came all the way . So she knows he cares. Let's see what Cvs have planned. I feel saving Pallavi from Mandar will be the act that will bring Raghav out from any and all of his guilt of wronging her in the past.

I think what annoyed me the most was that Ved wasn't really leveraging much on Raghav at that point, so him rising to the bait felt odd to me. There really wasn't a reason to play along. Added to the overconfidence from last episode, where he refused to even take a gun, who knows why? And he went ahead and did it 3 times. A gun typically has six bullets. Was he confident enough in Ved to take a 50% chance of dying? He's crossing the lines between confidence and overconfidence, without acknowledgement of the fact that he's not a lone wolf anymore

😕

Edit: Unpopular opinion, but I'd like Mandaar to have some positive emotions for Pallavi, or at least nothing against her. They spoke a lot, and I'd like for those conversations to have been genuine, but his need to get away was so overwhelming, that she became collateral damage. This girl wrote off two entire years of her life and remained in an abusive household, and would have done it for the rest of her life too, to preserve a promise she made to him. Woh sab bhi jhoot nikla na, toh it's just a bit too much to inflict on her. Ek show mein, ek ladki ke saath, itna zyaada bura nahi hona chahiye.

@bold, you may be right. He might have been a genuine person but I still can’t place him in front of Charminar on his wedding night unless he was involved in some shady business. If he was okay to marry Pallavi, why leave her that night unless some strong reason was there. My thoughts keep going back to Harish calling Nikhil for the assignment, just a call to come immediately. That might be the possibility for Mandar.

Yaar Diya, the chronology of it all is messing with my head big time. The call to come came home, but Vijay is the one who sent him out na? And he may be involved in shady business, but that doesn't have to mean that he has issues with Pallavi. I mean, shady people have emotions too. Raghav is also shady, right?

What I meant was, he may have been neutral to Pallavi. Like Pallavi, he wasn't in love, but had fate not intervened, he'd have been fine being married to her while doing his shadiness on the side, and when he ran/disappeared, it had nothing to do with Pallavi- she just got caught in the crossfire.

True, it does seem to have a close link with all their encounters. It would be beautiful to get the closure as well there.

lol, my bad. Just noticed I had put a ‘but’ there. Half my focus on work and half here isn’t working well 😕 I completely agree with you. There isn’t any link between his work and his behaviour with Pallavi. I have forgotten, did VD sent him out that night. Looks like VD has more FB story than anyone else 😆

That scene was also started the show's tradition of gorgeous use of reflections! There's an overhead shot after the sindoor has been thrown, which looks almost straight downwards, so they can't have chaarminar in the shot. Instead, we see Raghav, Pallavi and a stunning reflection of the building in the water on the ground after the rain. I'd have posted a picture here if I knew how to, but it's one of my favorite shots in the show!

And we know Raghav/Sai can pull it off. Cue the looks he was giving her the night before he was going to send her off to Kolhapur.

This was one of the important sequences of the show. I mean, we already know Raghav was smitten by Pallavi,she had his respect and afterwards he was guilty for the things he did to her. But that single scene gave away the raw emotion that Raghav has for her. The one that he never shows her directly. The one that he doesn't realize yet. That he cannot live without her anymore.

Kisne kaha our hero can't pull off romantic emotions? That one scene,that one emotional look by Sai was enough to convince me how deep,how intensely how emotionally Raghav is involved with Pallavi now.

Asli don to Pallavi hai.

MHRW toh CID ho jaayegi phir. 🤣🤣🤣

Ya phir Om Shanti Om: "Isi jhumaar ke nichey milega Mandaar ka laash"

On another note, that would make sense why Pallavi put up with D family drama and not depart for Kolhapur. She might have felt guilty for killing off their son.

Usi ka prayashchit krne ke liye she became the son of D family.

I should cut off reading too many fanfictions
