Understanding Pallavi: The Deshmukhs, Raghav, and her Redemption? - Page 3

Hats off for writing so much 👏

The post is bang on. We often think from audience POV and not characters'. Pallavi doesn't owe Raghav anything, to forgive is Pallavi's choice, she isn't bad if she chooses to not to. Though we know she will for the sake of story.

And that's the hallmark of a well written story to me. We know more than the people on screen, so we have a more nuanced perspective than any one character. It's so fun, when we're a few steps ahead of the characters, waiting for them to catch up with us and watching their journeys of doing so, through all the inevitable stumbles and the one-step-forward-two-steps-back.

I'm amazed at how thoughtful and well written this post is. I feel like as a fandom we need to be a lot more appreciative of Pallavi's kindness. I agree, a lot of it seems unrealistic or like a way to get TRP aunties to put the bechari FL on a pedestal at times, but she is just a very nice person at heart. Although I do find it foolish at times, her strength to forgive, see the good in people and be kind is something that I admire.

Deshmukhs:- Arguably, what this family did was basic human decency. However unfortunately in our world even decency can be such a huge deal. In Pallavi's eyes, them taking her in and calling her a daughter was enough for them to become hero worthy, because she as a person looks at the best in people. For her this family, didn't throw her out, call her unlucky, force her to live life like a widow(white saree etc.), in fact protected her from society and did all this despite the taunts that her family had to listen to as well. I agree she might seem ungrateful for Siddhesh to some and it might seem unrealistic for her to want a family so badly when she has an amazin brother. But we as society, have perpetuated this idea that a happy normal family, must have a mom and a dad. I'm sure she spent her entire childhood looking at this ideal, seeing it in TV, on the streets, everywhere. It is natural for her to want to crave it. Another reason I see for her disregard to her brother is a saying ghar ki murgi dal barabar. She must be terrified to leave the Deshmukhs, while her brother wouldn't have ever made her feel that way. This is wrong I agree, but it makes her human. Her need to do everything for this family, is because she is selfless. However, I do think she needs to cut Amrutha and Sulochana off that list at the very least.

Raghav:- I do feel bad for him. But I don't think it is so easy for him to wash away all that he has done to her so far. In fact, she is still being ridiculously nice and dignified in they way she treats him too. I do agree that she has shown development in choosing to play a harmful prank instead of becoming his kaal, yada yada in an improvement. I did like the point that she doesn't owe Raghav anything. Not forgiveness, not a chance, not wifely duties for sure. I hope that she does forgive him, and she definitely will, because she is so kind. She has little desire to make anyone suffer. I hope that after all this is said and done do they choose to begin the love track which will have its own set of issues they'll need to resolve.

Redemption:-Pallavi doesn't need to redeem herself in my opinion. She does need to grow. She has her flaws, her blind love for deshmukhs, her ability to jump to conclusions,( and in the abortion track hypocrisy) but there isn't any significant damage she has caused to anyone on the show.

I agree that she needs to talk to Keerthi. Keerthi has always been extremely considerate towards her and the least she deserves is a hug. I understand constraints, but I do want her to comfort Keerthi once and thank her, because apart from Nikhil she is the only one who was completely selfless in her desire to help Pallavi.

Finally, I agree that this forum has built a very healthy environment for discussion which is evident from the discussions taking place here today. Welcome to the forum!

This is my mini rant in response to yours.

Thanks for such a thoughtful reply!🤗

I agree that Pallavi really needs to grow. Yes, she's exceptionally kind and forgiving. But rather than a strength or a weakness, I see it just as a trait, which both is one of her best qualities but allows her to be walked over by the likes of Sulochana and Vijay. There's a Taylor Swift song that comes to mind, Marjorie, with a lyric that goes, "Don't be so kind, you forget to be clever" and Pallavi really needs take this line to heart. She's just gone through a life changing couple of weeks, and I hope she learns and grows a lot from this incident.

I have seen many character analysis posts but this is my favourite 😊. I love the way you included their positive and negative traits together.

I agree with every single word you have written. I am loving the current version of Pallavi (except for her blind love towards D fam) and Raghav. They both are trying their best to respect the other person and most importantly not to hurt them.

I don't have anything to tell about D fam, they are such hypocrites with a double standard. So far Nikhil is the only one who understands and appreciate Pallavi from that family. Even Aai has failed to understand Pallavi's hard work and sacrifice. And Milind Kaka hasn't taken a proper stand yet. What I am gonna say next is my personal opinion, Amrutha is an innocent girl, she is spoiled just because of her parent's impotent upbringing, she has the potential to evolve as a better person in future.

It looks like you have missed out Krishna, so far she is one of my favourite characters. I love the way she stood with Pallavi even in her worst. Pallavi's and Krishna's friendship is as strong as Raghav and Farhad's relation. She is Pallavi's go-to person as she never judge her unnecessarily. I hope CVs explore Krishna more.

Let's hope that we will get to see Pallavi's view on their marriage on tomorrow's episode.

Thanks for this wonderful analysis ❤️.

Ah, that's such a kind compliment. Much appreciate it! ❤️

I, too, am really enjoying this phase of Raghvi. The getting to know each other, the slight awkwardness, the growing appreciation, the denial of new feelings. Hayye, giving me such warm and fuzzy feelings.

Super interesting perspective on Amrutha! You know, that day when Sulochana was beating her mercilessly after the abortion fiasco, my heart went out to her. There was this one shot of her hiding like a scared child behind Pallavi, and I genuinely had to look away, it was too hard to watch. I truly wish Pallavi had approached her in a friendlier, less sanctimonious manner that night- it could have been a genuine moment of bonding, but Pallavi was a bit too tactless that day. I don't know how much the show plans to invest in arcs for side characters, but I would definitely love to see Amrutha mature out of her mom's influence. What a good switch up it would be from the first episodes, where Mansi seemed to be the good daughter, to now seeing Amrutha grow up and be actually a nice person, while Mansi is ousted to be a mini-Sulochana.

And yes, you are right. I did miss Krishna. I was so focused on the Deshmukh and Rao families, that I forgot about her. Krishna and Farhad are like the two purest souls in this show. If anyone actually is perfect, it's them!

Well there has to be evolution of the character. Pallavi can’t hate overnight the people she has come to believe her family. That’s what I understood from the breakdown episode.

Further raghav is trying and it’s beautiful.
trust and mutual respect has to be built in any relationship. This takes time. Raghav is doing all that is possible. It’s evident.

I want to see Raghvi relationship to be rock solid so that it can stand the test of time.

my pov

I think makers are doing a good job.

Nice post 👍🏼

You should make more such posts in future 😊

We have seen Raghav’s actions and thought process but Pallavi hasn’t

As audience it’s easy to over look this fact

True , pallavi really doesn’t owe anyone anything

Infact Trashmukhs owe so much to her 😡

She doesn’t need redemption track 👍🏼

She only needs to learn and grow

You’ve said it all and mirrored our thoughts! I am reserving this and will write more when I get to my laptop because I loved reading this so much, I’d love to speak about it in more detail.

I’ve not watched the episode yet but i think the chili part was just an innocent mischief on her side, she’s only human. She didn’t do it out of malice or it’s not like she knew he was allergic. If we can come to terms with Raghavs attempt to make things better, in comparison to what he’s done, Pallavis error is insignificant. If she’s getting hate for that, it’s quite disproportionate. I’ll watch and come back to comment.

I like your post and a very good analysis on pallu 👏

I agree with all that you say except the Mirchi part.

First of all both RR and Pallu are wrong because they always act on first and then clarify.

I have never supported RR for his actions when he went to her house and spoke all that rubbish. And yes RR is getting a good redemption arc which CVs have rightly shown.

But even pallu is wrong in putting mirchi in someone's food. I don't see it as a harmless prank especially not with two full spoons of Mirchi. And even if it was anyone would have out of humanity stopped that prank if the other person is not saying anything. Instead, she fed him the whole plate.

Im not saying pallu for this act needs some redemption track but surely she should also regret it majorly and not just one episode of care and love that she will show. The guy could have died.

Anyways also I agree with your last part regarding Pallu and keerthi that's one thing that has disappointed me too.

Thanks for your reply, and for your respectful disagreement! 😊

I agree, a big flaw for both of them is their sheer impulsiveness. They both desperately need to learn how to calm the hell down, think rationally, and then act. Half the kalesh in both their lives is due to their mutual tendency to act first, and ask questions or think about it later 🤦🏻‍♀️I hope we see them both learn from past mistakes and grow in that regard.

I guess we can agree to disagree on the mirchi thing? People have different tolerance levels to spices- I myself can have a spoonful of red chilli in a bowl the size of which was shown, and not even notice it, while my own father is as deathly allergic to spices as Raghav has shown to be. I do believe it is the responsibility of the person with the allergies to be careful about what they consume.

I will definitely be pissed off if Pallavi doesn't show any guilt at all, but I don't see this as a track that should be pulled too long. It was a harmless prank that went severely wrong, but I don't think there's enough meat in this incident to draw it too long. TBH, I think it was written in to mostly soften Pallavi towards Raghav quickly, so that they can move on to the track with the new villain, so I hope it does just that. Pallavi apologizes, behaves a little more affectionately, and the gap between them is bridged by a few steps.

I enjoyed reading your analysis- very well written!!! I completely agree with everything, especially your thoughts regarding Pallavi's redemption.

Apart from the one part where we shall agree to disagree 😆

I totally agree with you. This track is mainly to soften Pallu and I too hope that she finally starts to understand RR. Like I didn't also like how she trusted someone Amrutha and didn't even confirm facts over acting upon it and decided to have revenge. But again that is also RR and both are same in this matter.

Although Pallu's revenge is always childish as she is not someone who will harm anyone in a major way. But I do hope so that they both can learn from their past mistakes and just talk.

Like guys your now husband and wife it's not so tough. Please just go to your room and talk it out like mature adults🤣
