Like you, I also fell in love with his protectiveness over Harish and the way he didn't waste a second to find out who caused trouble for him and, by extension, for Keerti.
Don't even get me started on MLs... Suraj Rathi came close it but after a few years, the writers ran out of track options so they turned him blind for a bit.
Also, I know it's cliched but I believe a spouse should be your best friend and I see Raghav Rao as the kind of husband who would be your best friend above all else, always in your corner, always having your back. Most importantly, he would do this because he wants to, because he believes in it and he believes in the relationship, not because he has to.
I also want to stress again, that love may or may not be there but a sense of responsibility and respect for one another cannot be substituted by chocolate and flowers. I also loved the fact that Raghav admitted that he was trying those silly things to appease her because he didn't really understand what she needed or wanted, and now that he does, he'll change his approach. That humility and flexibility is a big quality. It also makes it realistic that our partners aren't perfect. As I said in another post, think of this as an arranged marriage, where the spouses don't know each other well and are trying to navigate this new phase in their lives. They are bound to make mistakes, but as long as they have the right intentions and spirit in mind, things will improve with time. That's what Raghav is trying to do. Sure, he's talking about a 30-day challenge, but deep down he's playing the long game, one milestone at a time. That shrewd businessman in him is very much alive but he's playing his cards cautiously now.
