@bold, this entire show is depending on this but there may be a twist. I think he's been hurt in love before and it would be pretty interesting if the roles were reversed and he shies away while Pallavi tries to win him over. I know that's typically not what we see on ITV when the ML is shown to be an alpha male but in this show it could work really well, especially after the bomb/alarm clock scene.
The thing is Raghav ka jo bhi trust issue hai with women, that can be resolved when he sees an example of diametrically opposite women to that of his thought process. And its not that he hates all women. But yes, he abhors manipulative gold diggers. I don't think he sees Pallavi as a gold digger, but someone in whom he apparently saw a ray of hope for himself as he felt she was different and that got snuffed out. But that hasn't changed his obsession for her. Cause somewhere he knows that she is not all bad. But he cannot nullify because of the misunderstanding. Pallavi is a stable, mature woman.
But Raghav is completely the opposite of a stable partner. Infact he is unstable. No parent would hand over their girl to him, seeing how he is and has been with Pallavi. And why should Pallavi win him over. What has he done for her apart from troubling her and insulting her at every chance he gets. Pallavi is strong enough to deal with him, but baat wahi hai. Raghav is unstable and impulsive and outright mean most of the time to Pallavi, so Pallavi ka usko jeetne ka to sawaal hi nahi aata
Infact, Pallavi has already won him over, by the strength of her character and by her sheer audacity to contend with him. Koi Raghav Rao ke saamne tik gaya, wohi bahut badi baat hai, woh bhi koi aurat. No wonder, LION has targetted Pallavi, cause if he really knows Raghav well, he knows that Raghav without any reason would not be interested in Pallavi. There is something he seeks in her, something that has captured his attention.
