I think it is already very clear that everyone loves Raghu's character- right from his attitude, his concern, his way of handling and understanding people, looks and most importantly, his rowdy sense of humor.
But there is always a mixed reaction towards her character. And I feel almost all point of views are very correct in their own sense, so much so that you fail to raise objections towards the various POVs. Everyone agrees that her attitude towards Raghu is completely irrational MOST OF THE TIMES. But then the justification being the circumstances. From a safe and sheltered environment she was suddenly put into a completely new world, a world where all her morals and ideologies land her in troubles. From Daddy's little princess she was suddenly forced to become the caretaker and decision maker of her family.
But I just thought and may be her behavior has some fixed pattern,
1. When she sees Raghu going on with all his gundagardi ways, her mind stops working, she fails to understand his intentions behind those actions, however right he may be. His attitude, the authority in his voice when he declares things( as in the precap) irks her. For eg. the doctor appointment thing, when he had ousted her and her family from his basti due to his ego, etc.
2. But at the same time, when he loses the gundagardi touch, she softens towards him. Eg. when he almost talked about his mother's death today, or when he was worried about Ajji, she did not retaliate back rudely even when he was shouting on her or was reluctant in thanking her, also when in yesterday's episode she went to tell him that she has decided to stay back, he was not in his gunda form, even the temple scene yesterday.
As most of u have already analysed the reason foe her hatred towards gundagardi and violence, it only makes sense when she reacts the way she does as i stated in point no.1. She has not had any time to adjust with the surroundings and with the loss that she has suffered, it is a huge one. And moreover her stay in Bombay has been so eventful (if i may say so) till now, that she has hardly got time to COMPLETELY come to terms with the situation.
Of course as viewers, from a third person point of view it is really annoying the way she treats Raghu at times, for example in today's precap when she questions his position in her life to take decisions related to her family. As Escape.My.Love (i am sorry i do not know ur real name) noted in one of her posts today, he is craving to be someone important in some one's life , but being involved in her own struggles and problems, Antara fails to understand this. And to be honest, being in her situation it would be really abnormal to see her being very tolerant towards gundagardi and violence. even when intentions are good. So i guess that is really logical for the character to be that way. As we do not want another Tulsi or Parvati who are never wrong what so ever. Her character is very real in that sense, and that is why i like her.
