Okay i may in a very small camp of people excited for mandhar. đ¤Ł
Guys. 1st Mandhar WAS NEVER DEAD. If you are just catching this show, his death was a mystery from beginning..they avoided flashbacks, pictures, and even had pallu taking trips to police station to find something out. He apparently just "never came home" and was assumed dead.
So enough of the "zombie" zinda kaar rahe hai. This was always on the cards
Now, im BEYOND excited for mandhar because this means SEVERAL THINGS.
1. Raghvi angsty separation track and growing love for eachother makes good tv imo đ¤Ł
2. Protective and possessive raghav over pallu especially if mandhar is grey
3. He clearly is grey which while i wanted him positive it looks like he is entangled with Ved which means makko men fighting sequences âşď¸
4. Mandhar casting is PERFECT. He clearly will hold weight against Raghav Rao.
5. While i wanted mandhar positive, i think having him grey is actually perfect. Here is why.
Raghav rao is a character that is EASILY misunderstood. Hes a guy that is GENUINLY good and because of some past incidents he has built himself as a rock and people fear him. But take it as face value, he is a GOOD MAN that people think is Bad.
Mandhar is a character that "died" as this epitome of a husband in pallavis eyes he was a GOOD MAN. He did so much for his family and theres so much respect around his name. But if he is grey, itll be a juxtoposition of a BAD/NEGATIVE man that people think is Good.
While i agree that raghav should not have to have a negative person for people to start accepting him, i think its important for peoples blinders to be removed. Particularly D clan.
Pallavi luckily has accepted raghav for who he is and is happy with him, so im happy that if mandhar comes, he isnt going to be the reason pallu chooses raghav.. if anything shell long for Raghav and probably be binded by family duty and fulfilling her "patni dharam" to her ex. Along the way also im sure shell realize how bad he is. But d clan itll be a rude awakening. Especially vijay deshmukh. Raghav will probably end up helping or saving that family from their glorified son, breaking vijay deshmukhs arrogance towards raghav.
Im personally excited to see raghvis equation. Raghav kept jokingly referring to ex husband. Playing him off as nothing. Measily. I want a weighted man to give serious takkar to raghav and let him shake in his boots a little over pallavi.
----------
Anyways im EXCITED. Plenty of angst is coming, surely pallu will be confused at what to do. Im sure her heart will want raghav but her brain will think shes technically mandhars wife if he is still alive because she believes in justice and righteousness. Shell probably hate the idea of having to go back to d clan that she outcasted and they may also but out thorns for her returning also. She was seemingly loved and glorified as mandhars wife and now frowned upon as raghavs wife. So if she returns under the garb of mandhars wife, her equation in that family has changed totally.
But back to pallu, im sure her heart will want raghab but her brain will say mandu is my husband. So i want her to break that mentality a little and just choose her heart. Raghav will have strong villains and ill love to see how he conquers them through his intelligence and win/fight for his love. Ved on the business front and mandhar in the love front who are probably both going to work together or know eachother!
Stoked.
