Love reading your analysis Mihika but I have to disagree here with you.
I don't think Raghav is in love with her yet. Yes, he has a soft corner for her and i think that's mostly because he never had seen a woman who gives back whatever he throws at her. Before SKD came into his life he has only seen women like Anjali, and he has a past relating to a specific woman due to that he doesn't trust them.
He is definitely intrigued by her, he is interested in her(though he denies it everytime) , and he admires her not for her physical appearance but for the woman she is. He never had that opportunity to meet a courageous woman like Pallavi so he is a bit hesitant to believe that woman like her exist in this world who doesn't fall on his feet begging his attention so that's a change. He is always used to getting whatever he wants with his money and charisma so Pallavi is giving him a hard time. She challenges him and he enjoys that. She is his entertainment. I have noticed a lot of times him being impressed with her guts.
And the first meeting of them, his first word to her was, "oh woman" that was enough to know that he treats women like tissues. He definitely has problems with them. He has came a long way from that to be impressed with a woman. The first slap in the market was the point he learned that all woman are not same. And he was angry at her for going against his beliefs. He hated that she had that guts to slap him. So he went to satisfy his ego, scaring her. And he changing his punishment was, the point he realized she is different. Mostly the woman he had engaged with would have taken that opportunity to fall on him.
I don't think he would have done anything to a woman even if that wasn't Pallavi. He would have moved away because he has that respect for his amma and keerthi. When he took her Saree, I'm damn sure that Pallavi thought he was going to pull that off her that's why she closed her eyes. She was scared of the man she saw there. And Raghav was satisfied.
There are alot of incidents where he treats her differently from other women and that's because she is different not because him being in love. Atleast I don't think so.
But he is in the path, he is on the way to fall head over heels for her. He has started to get affected by her mere touch.
Today they had a hand shake, he didn't feel that electric shock that he got when her fingers merely touch his. That day (the photoshoot) he realized that he may will fall in love with her.
And his inability to believe that she could stoop so low points that.
His mistrust on women will always win over his feelings for her.
There is a long way for him.
