So what would been written in destiny of Raghav. To be the perpetual Devdas 🤣🤣
Very tricky situation indeed 
Personally I would have never Shipped pallavi with anyone else other than Raghav pre Eisha track. I wasn't too fond of Raghav in the pre wedding phase but he grew on me with his redemption and what followed. His character development was one of the best.
So Irrespective of the actor behind Mandar or his goodness, I would have still rooted for Raghvi. Also, Raghvi were madly in love with each other leaving no space for a third person between them.
Coming to your point of cvs butchering Raghav to make way for Pallavi and Mandaar, Raghav's USP was his loyalty towards his loved ones and that's why it was so difficult for me to accept the warangal night. I took a break from the show after seeing that precap.
I believe, no matter how loving a husband is, no wife deserved to get cheated on. I was one among the rare minority who wanted Pallavi to walk out on her marriage and move on in life. She didn't deserve what Raghav put her through post warangal night. At that point I was ready to ship her with any xyz but Raghav.
Yeh toh meri baat thi, thinking from a broader perspective, if a popular actor had played Mandar and if he was a good person, I can only imagine what a battle field mhrw fd would have turned into. Sai might be new, but he has a huge fanbase himself. Fd mein roz proverbial khoon ki nadiya behti 🤢
