Raghav didn't get a chance to acknowledge himself. He is in fact running away from him. He is hurting Pallavi in that process. I will be frank and direct to say this out every time, I am and will always be on Pallavi's side. More than Raghav, Pallavi has pulled me to her side. What he did to her in the past two episodes are horrific, he has hurt her tremendously but his demons need a calming embrace. Pallavi cannot give that to him, he needs to see through it himself. She is not some superhuman.
His anger issues need an assurance, an anchor. Neither Pallavi nor Amma can give that to him. It is Raghav who needs to see through himself. People holding such mental calamity usually deny their issues in front.
I love Raghav but that doesn't mean I condone his bad behavior. We've been saying from early days that he needs therapy, in fact Amma and Keerti do as well. His family can't help him get out of this pit he's in.
@bold, he has been saying some pretty horrible things to her in his drunken state especially but what is she doing to him? She's hurting that part of him that's never been healed and every action of hers now is making that wound deeper.
Her initial intent was right -I totally agree with her and understand her concerns but her methods are completely wrong. She knows what he went through earlier in his life, how much it hurt him in the past. If she doesn't want to heal him, fine. She doesn't need to. But stepping on those wounds and hurting him this way in the name of reforming him? If this is the approach she wanted to take then she either underestimated the situation or she was mentally prepared for him to lash out, in which case this shouldn't be a surprise to her. You can't mess with an existing wound and then blame the person for lashing out in pain. The worse part is that she will probably not show him remorse for the methods she's using.
What I see is a wife who's bitten off more than she can chew and now her ego is getting the better of her because she wants to prove something. Being able to reform him would give her satisfaction that she turned him round to her way. As Raghav said, she wouldn't understand where he's coming from because she's never been in that situation herself, so I don't expect her to be able to empathize fully. She can't look away and accept his illegal dealings, fine. But she started this entire reformation campaign by antagonizing him and putting him in a humiliating position, and with lectures that are disconnected from reality and that he can't relate to. The more she triggers him the more he acts out and now both are in this vicious cycle. It is unfair to blame only him for his terrible actions because she is hurting him every single second, knowingly. Action and reaction. Just as her actions are extreme, so are his reactions.
I am disappointed because I wanted her to be able to use her experiences with him to find the best way to appeal to his better angels. Because that exists and that would enable him to go to the ends of the earth for her. It's her love that's supposed to have had the power to get through to him but right now she's been telling him off non-stop and not listening. She says she wants to understand him but I have not once seen this effort since this track started. Also, her first reaction after discovering the truth about the diamonds was to blame him for Abhishek's death. Where have we heard this before, I wonder? She knows that he still feels that burden of guilt but adds one on here. I'm not saying she shouldn't care about his safety or get him to stop his illegal activities but this isn't the way. Only Ayi's words had her rethink for a few seconds, but she walked out of there with the plan to turn him into Raghav 2.0. She had already made up her mind without the space or thought about really trying to see his perspective. And then she says I knew it, you'd choose money over me, in a huge insult to his emotions for her. Does that not hurt him?
Why does valuing money automatically equal to not choosing her? He wants to have both. And the morning after that she went to her simple lifestyle without trying to talk to him about what she was trying to do, and the Motwani situation didn't help. I don't think she understands Raghav fully yet. If she wanted to give him shock therapy, well the shock part is working, not the therapy part.
Being cruel to be kind isn't cutting it. Also, pati sudharo missions are overrated. This is going downhill either way.
