Maybe I won't get reactions or even replies but I want to say this
Why does it have to be Esha's plan to trap Raghav
Why does Esha have to be negative
Why can't Raghav when not in his senses make the mistake of actually sleeping with Esha
The ML why does he always have to be the hero Why always trapped by the vamp He will be flawed in a 1000 ways but never sleep with anyone other than his wife
In not saying I want him to but why can't the main lead make the mistake of actually doing it
The FL always Mahan also if she is evil there will be some back atory something bad happened to her so she's taking revenge
Plain black ITv FL will never be why
Did they actually play Tujhse naraaz nahi
Masoom
The male lead has a one night stand ho gaya had not planned to
Years later kid shows up
The woman he slept with was good never contacted the male lead
It was a 1st struggle but at the end it was not the child's fault so female lead accepts him
Ijazat
He didn't sleep with his ex gf
Wife thought he did and left him
She found an earing
Esha's bracelet in the precap is lose for sure will come with Raghav and be found by Pallavi
I don't want it to go the Aitraz way
Maybe he actually did the mistake
Pallavi leaves when she comes ri know Esha is pregnant
Esha dies during child birth
They don't marry don't have a life together nothing of that sort only waiting for child to be born
Raghav single father
Pallavi and Raghav cross paths again
It's because MLs in ITV almost always are expected to think and behave like heroes and be as close to perfection as possible.
Because accepting that the ML can do this by "mistake" or under the influence, or hallucinating that they are doing it with their wife instead of someone else is the only acceptable option for viewers. ITV is not ready to see an ML cheat and still be treated as a hero. I'm not advocating for this, just making a point. Usually if the ML cheats they aren't forgiven and if there is a major redemption arc it's often him finding love again after atoning for his mistakes rather than being reunited with his first wife, especially when no children are involved. There have also been FLs who've forgiven their husbands and stayed married. Reuniting because of children is also used a lot on ITV.
Even Raghav, who was introduced more as an anti-hero than a typical hero, which is what made his character stand out from the rest, is expected to improve and change in order to meet certain social and behavioral standards. What if he doesn't change and sticks to his bad habits? Are viewers ready to see this from the start to end of the show? Some people yes, but the majority will always want or expect to see him to work towards achieving as close to that state of perfection as possible because only hero profiles are acceptable for MLs.
Is it wrong to cheat on your spouse? Of course. Can a husband be redeemed after doing this? Well, he can repent but it won't undo the hurt and damage to the relationship. Should his wife leave him when she finds out? Is a moment of weakness excusable by the person doing it and their spouse? Most of us here might say absolutely not but the fact is that there are many women (and men) out there who are willing to forgive their spouse for a one-time thing vs. an actual affair. We may disagree with it but people out there actually do this in order to 'save' the marriage.
At the end of the day it's up to the couple involved to make this decision but personally I feel that a relationship is forever tainted when this kind of thing happens. You may forgive your spouse but can you forget? Will you not have even a 1% nagging doubt that they might repeat it? On the other hand, the one who cheated might always be on the back foot in the relationship, perhaps perpetually feeling guilty and overly cautious. This creates an imbalance in the relationship, which is no longer between equals. The above paragraphs apply to both men and women by the way. I'm not picking on men. Just used the example of husbands because we're talking about Raghav.
In Raghav's case it will be even worse because of how his character was depicted during the Anjali track and how he has viewed betrayal in general on the show.
If indeed he does cross the line and Pallavi's decision is to leave him, break up, etc. then it's completely understandable and personally what I'd prefer too. However, if she chooses not to because she feels he did it under the influence and not in a sober state, or because she wants to 'save' the marriage then would we be able to accept and respect that decision even though it's so different from what many of us would have done in her place? Would we judge her for this?
If they decide to go the Masoom way as you described then it would take this show in a completely different direction but I doubt they would have kids on the show at this point or that it would be discovered years later instead of weeks later. Also, there may be no pregnancy but it doesn't diminish the gravity of the issue.
Whatever Esha's intentions may be, the point is what Raghav does will be the deciding factor so Esha being negative or positive is a secondary point. I frankly don't want Esha to be negative or to be conspiring against Raghav. It's been done to death on ITV and I'm fed up of those kinds of tracks. Also, this team is not good with executing such things As we were saying in the Mandar track, here too I want to see Raghav choose Pallavi despite knowing Esha is a good woman who left him to protect him. Raghav should choose Pallavi because he loves her and feels he belongs with her, not because Esha is evil or is proven to be a gold digger after all.
Sorry for the long response but I really enjoyed reading the questions you raised. đ
