Raghav Singhania - Puppeteer turned into Puppet:
Regardless of one stupid scene, I totally loved today's episode...it is a mix of finer emotions, subtle moments, conscious desires, social obligations, entangled relationships, deep rooted insecurities laced with some cute Bromance ! But two things caught my attention - Raghav is willing to put extra bit to make their relationship work exhibiting obvious patience, which is new to him but Kalpi is still in her own world, overwhelmed with his love basking in the warmth of new found feelings. Kalpi wants Raghav in her own way and will reach him at her own pace. She will neither accept him the way he is nor will she put extra effort to make their relationship work.
But this post is more about RagNa than the actual episode. I don't know how many are enjoying the pace of their relationship and character mutations, but today I started disliking them. For me RagNa is losing their charm...this is not the Raghav & Kalpi I fell in love with, though she is still in place he is tainted and dented badly, I hope CV's wake up before the damage becomes irrevocable !! As much as I want Raghav to apologize and mellow down to Kalpi, I equally want him to retain his acumen and arrogance. I am all ready tired of seeing Raghav as luck sick puppy and bored to death watching his silly smiles to Pakhi!
CV's can you please return us the original Raghav and Kalpana ... I want my Khadoos Singhania and the Feisty Kalpana back! To me Kalpana is a definitive woman character with so much of depth, elegance, innocence, insecurity laced with undying confidence and strength in a truly realistic fashion. She represents and inspires girl from marginalised section of the society with guts to challenge the set of morals, customs defining the social strata! She is real and raw...a spunky, inquisitive, naive girl who transforms into bitter calm composed self unlike her childhood days under the family pressure and baggage of strained relationships. Though her emotionally distant behaviour and aloofness get on my nerves, that makes her look her even more attractive and enigmatic. Raghav is strikingly different yet similar to Kalpi with relationship issues; she brings life into his materialistic world, filling his emotional vaccum, ripping off his chauvinist side. While Raghav is suave against her simplicity, mean to make up for her magnanimous nature and seasoned to deal with her naivety. The beauty of RagNa is they complement & complete each other very well...but lately she has become puppeteer and he is turning into puppet...I am missing the fire, passion and intensity in their scenes
I couldn't fathom this Raghav, he took me by surprise with his patience Though I appreciate his efforts to show Kalpi how important she is by accepting Pakhi's gift...I am clearly disappointed with his actions. They could have done the scene in a better way...I was expecting Raghav baba to say something like "I rejected Pakhi's gift for she is a mere employee ... but you are special blah blah...but today he surpassed kamala bai in stupidity. What is he meant by that dazzling Colgate smile?? Is that the side effect of being in love that he could not see Pakhi's expressions or Raghav gone blind or he lost it big time?? Where is the sharp, mean, screwed businessman who could read Pakhi's every single expression and exploit it in his way?? CV's cant he start working on building trust and friendship with Kalpi than swooning under her spell?? Is by any chance Kalpi will get to her original no nonsense feisty self ??
And Pakhi, she is still the little girl who throws tantrums to grab Kamala Bai's undivided attention, she is in her self-induced comfort zone and doesn't want to break out of the mould - she'll refuse to grow old until reality hits on her face, real hard
Phew...this is irritatingly long, never mind I needed this to vent my frustration...lol
