finding balance after this fiasco is difficult in reality… Being distant is not separation… she did a blunder and a big one too… in past she has stood up for the guy so many times.. Raghav will always remain indebted to Pallavi for resolving his issues with his mother…standing up for him when nobody was there but she never left a chance to remind him this (it looks like she did a favor instead of being a supporting spouse) .. he did marry her forcefully but he was under pressure too and he was habituated to get what he wants… once he realized his mistake the guy has humbled himself to a level that he almost become a different person…
I honestly prefer angry RR over the now subdued version .. he loved her and there is no doubt about that .. sure they can remain friends but marriage is not about agreeing to everything under the pretense of trust… she agreed to live in d house till Mandar gets well without even considering RR emotions… I know in show they will make Raghav running in circles around Pallavi but honestly I prefer him to switch back to devil may care attitude… I want him to find out about the oath in Mangla gauri function and then never come back or contact just the way we discussed here…
@ green: For sure, overcoming this isn't easy at all! That being said, separation isn't a walk in the park either. I think for the most part, all marriages/relationships go through this cycle where one individual starts taking the other for granted, and then once both parties realize that, they're forced to choose whether they want to work out of that rut or not. So far, we haven't seen Raghav taking Pallavi for granted and I don't think there are many examples of that on ITV these days either. Gone are the days when Abhay took Kkusum for granted and she let him, LOL! Nowadays we have relatively stronger female leads who stand their ground and don't tolerate being treated like a doormat. Nowadays the male leads are treated like doormats even if the storyline doesn't always call for it.
@ purple: ITV ki yehi problem hai! The women are the epitome of goodness and the men are rough and rowdy, later salvaged by these good, kind, and soft hearted women. All shows, no matter how unique, resort to that stereotype at some point, and that's the transition we're seeing here. I have faith that it won't last too long, but the show has to cross this bridge to succeed in the TRP game. Raghav will continue to be lovesick and show that he's too dependent on his wife, even though we all know that his wife has co-dependency issues far more than he does (re: her relationship with D-fam). He'll have separation anxiety even though he's lived alone for the better half of his life. He'll try to "win back" his love from a contest he shouldn't even be participating in had he stuck to his gut instinct. The chaos isn't justified, but it's evident that it has more to do with the channel's interference and less with the producer's creative liberty.
Believe me, I want Raghav to let her go and give her the space to arrive at a dead end on her own, but he simply won't "kyunke Pallavi ke pyaar ne usse sudhaar diya hai". Mujhe frankly yeh sudhra hua Raghav bilkul nahi pasand!
