Wait and watch, really! His behavior till now is a testament that "wait" is his biggest weakness😆. He is a relentless chaser. A man who did not wait or does not have the patience to wait and make it up to his sister and mother, cannot wait in love either. He does not look like the love from afar kind of a man as well. But being a support system or pillar, yes that he surely can be. Being there for her when she needs him that he can.
With Raghav, the story can go 2 ways: Raghav is a suave businessman, but he is an impatient and aggressive man as well. He has ego and temper to match that persona too. He is the ideal "Aag" which was told to the viewers when the show started. Since he is the one to fall for Pallavi first, he can either go the Maya Mehrotra way or he can go the Mohan Bhatnagar way.
In the Maya Mehrotra way, it would be that slowly Pallavi is slipping into the nooks and crannies of his heart, melting it slowly. Pallavi will be a discovery for him as he participates in the marriage ceremonies. Her honesty and audacity is something he would start liking. Her verbal jabs he would start liking. The way she has this constant back and forth, he would like. And there could be instances, where Pallavi calms him during a panic attack, or help each other in a common mission, or Pallavi protects him from someone, which surely impacts his thinking of her. Raghav too could have a back and forth on his emotions, till he fully accepts his feelings for Pallavi. Also, the truth of MMS kaand would surface during this time. And after realization, in typical Hyderabad ka Don style, he starts chasing Pallavi, with a clueless Pallavi getting no hint of his growing feelings. Here, you would see the obsessive, possessive, territorial guy, which has been established quite clearly till now. You know the kind where, "If I love Pallavi, she has to love me too", but not in a way to hurt her, but cage her for sure. But friendship would only be a means to get close to Pallavi, nothing else, like Maya used it to trap Arjun.
Coming to the Mohan Bhatnagar way, where here too he chases Pallavi, making her accept his love, but in a more subtle and restrained manner. Here you can see friendship, support, protection, but in a more mature and toned down way. Which slowly but surely wins Pallavi over and they fall in love. But Mohan Bhatnagar ke case me bahut saare cheeze thi jo uske favour me bhi kaam karti thi - Nanhi ke saath bonding, sachcha aur imaandaar patrakaar, Jijibua aur Guru ka support, and the fact that he was an honest man, dumped by his gf for his honesty. Yahaan pe to loche dher saare hai Raghav ko leke, so I don't see a Mohan Bhatnagar in him, except this ke dono badtameez the kaafi.😆
But frankly, in my opinion, jis aadmi ko "aag" ka personification banaya gaya hai, woh subtle aur restrained tareeka samajh hi nahi sakta. Aag ko bhi restrain karna padta hai boss, warna sab kuch jala ke khaak kar deta hai. But Raghav ke life me woh anchor ka kaam karne wala koi hai nahi. Pallavi who is personified "Paani" can give him the thandak and calm, but only when she wants to na. Usko to shaadi me koi interest hi nahi hai. I don't see any plutonic friendship from Raghav kyunki woh already attracted hai. Jahaan attraction ho, waha dosti thode hi develop ho sakta hai abhi. Ab tak ka character graph jaisa raha hai, woh Maya Mehrotra style of love ki taraf jhukaav jyaada hai, not the calm, sweet and subtle Mohan Bhatnagar, "Aji sunte ho" isshtyle.😆But yes, Raghav and Maya ke beech ka difference itna hai, Maya was negatively sanki and Raghav is positive sanki😆
