Just watched episode 9 which is one of my most favourite pre marriage episodes. Pehle toh I used to only watch Raghvi interactions but now watching the entire episode.
These past few days I realised how much effort Saishi and the entire team have put in to bring out the traits of Raghvi. From something as mundane as Raghav's style of twirling the pencil to Pallavi's good nature to give her income to charity even when she was clearly struggling.
They managed to really show how lonely they both are despite having a loving family or riches in their lives.
Raghav was someone who appeared to be ruthless and strict but he was also a kind person. That showed when he shouted at Farhad for making people wait in the line at the temple or just his charity without acknowledgment.
I'm not sure why the team had to retcon the ladki se nafrat track to Krishna rao but I'm glad they did. Ladki se dhoka is so passe and cliche. Krishna Rao really made sense till Esha was brought in. Anyway, Pallavi was all the time stressed about not wanting to disappoint the D family that she was willing to give up her self respect by touching Jagdish Anna feet, her being so scared before him because she couldn't afford the rent or removing the zari from her reception sari, remembering her own wedding during chalka all had my heart. I wished the makers explored her emotions of being widowed without living a single day as a married woman. It must have hurt so bad still all she had in her heart was love and kindness.
Raghav also faced a lot in his life and that made him put on a facade so that no one could hurt him.
I'm so in awe with this show and everything they showed us. It is such a masterpiece and pulls at your heartstrings.
Guys I'm sorry I was MIA, I'll try to be regular coz I'm watching the episodes at India night time.
Would love to hear your takes.
PS: The way he draped the sari on her had my heart flutter, Pallavi's also did. She was attracted to him at that point (atleast a little) otherwise she would have reacted strongly to such an intimate action by him.
