With all the ranting on the forum regarding Raghu's insensitive reply to Antara's mention of her father, I'd like to mention my two cents as well.
We all know how angered Raghu was when Anatara insulted his upbringing as a result of her anger because he twisted the mind of her younger brother. And we all know that Raghu never really forgave her for that. The circumstances that Aaji keeps putting for them (and the situations they themselves keep getting into 😆) didn't make it any easier for him to stay angry with her for long.
They say time heals everything. But I think time just pushes everything deep down till one day everything comes rushing out in ways you can't control. I think the whole chanchan of her payals, and the fact that he was stuck in the jungle with her, and Aaji's heart-attack due to Antara's carelessness brought out Raghu's hidden anger. At that point, another person's pain wasn't as clear as his own pain.
Antara, the one who does as her heart tells her, couldn't decipher Raghu's pain from his face when she accused him. But Raghu, who thinks with his head, only sees the logic of "Can she, who couldn't save her father, save my Aaji? Can she bring back my mother?"
Sometimes, we all act on the spur of the moment and regret it all our life.
I suppose that moment for Antara was when she yelled at Raghu.
And for Raghu, this moment is probably it.
