Any thoughts on this?

There was a scene today which made me feel uncomfortable, (not in a bad way but kind of like in a serious way), it was Kadam watchman uncle asking Pallavi for 10 lakh rupees... The moment he said this, I felt lo here we go again.. From where she will get this money, ladki ne kaam dhandha toh chhod hi diya hai aajkal... And I was intrigued and was already feeling lowkey embarrassed for her..

So she approaches Raghav and I am like please please don't ask.. I don't know why but it was uncomfortable for me.. So she says she will return back the money, ek baar ke liye udhaar de do... And Raghav denies on the pretense of not having cash with him... I got his reasons.. But I was looking for Pallavi's reactions.. How does she feel about it? She said she will manage and didn't really think much about it....It was dealt in a cool manner, but it left an unpleasant taste in my mouth... That scene was good, and I am glad it was shown...And I am even more glad Amma caught on to that and decided to help Pallavi in her own way and in such candid manner... Amma Rao you have my heart once again... Geeta ji is doing her job so well...

Now coming back to the topic, and this is purely from Pallavi's perspective, I have always felt she should continue to pursue what she wants and should be independent if at all someday she is left alone again.... I don't know why, maybe I have seen enough of her miseries, maybe I myself don't believe in leaving your dreams for family and marriage, and I always believe you should be on your own in your marriage even in today's age, otherwise such small small moments can be hurtful for your self respect... It's not related to Raghav at all.. He can be a great husband, a great understanding partner and all... But that having something of your own is all I wish for Pallavi.. And I am glad she was able to arrange finally but I wish more for her so that she doesn't have to come to this point again.. Her self respect in this regard has my heart, and I hope they never compromise on that. She was so straight forward and unbelievably non problematic and trusting in this matter, I was awwed. But somewhere down the line, they need to address this matter seriously..

Overall this was handled well, a poignant intriguing scene and kept me wondering about this aspect of Pallavi's life.. Did anyone else felt similarly or was I thinking too much on Pallavi's behalf? 😆😆

It brings us back to the age-old discussion women should be self-sufficient. Period.

They should have their own career and own ambition. Should not leave their jobs after marriage. Should continue to work after having a child.

Yes their husband's maybe the best but to have your own money and not being dependent on someone is empowering.

I have seen so many educated women just sitting at home with the excuse that their children and husbands need them 24x7. 😵

And so many women handling their career and children at the same time 👏

Apart from that in Hindi serial yahan toh hero hi kaam nahi karte toh heroine kya karegi 🤣

But I do hope they show Pallavi having some ambition and dream apart from DSE 😵

A working hindi serial Female leads are very rare.

Yeah it was a bit uncomfortable for me to watch too. I feel if I had been on her position , probably couldnt have asked Raghav for it. But she did and he denied ( which ofcourse was very evident). Must hv felt bad but she didnt make an issue of it.

Yes Pallavi should pursue her dreams and whatever we hv seen of Raghav , he isnt the kind of person who will stop her from it. He infact encourages her work . So Pallavi should try to be more independent but then she keeps working for Deshmukh saree store only , where the Sanki Deshmukh doesnt want her . So its like a charity work. Where she gives all her time and focus but gets or expects nothing in return. She has to get a new shop to work more independtly .

Since its ITV , these people forget dt female leads can work too. Though newer shows are showing things differently. Like the Udaariyan show on Colors , the FL wished to continue her job and dt was nicely done. I hope they do something likewise for Pallavi too.

Pallavi is still fulfilling nawab order right which is why she visited her saree shop a couple of days back to get work done along with krishna. Also she seemed to have a FD and some 50000 cash in her account.. she wasnt really penniless just that the money may not have been much. after being away from the saree shop post marriage, the nawab order was her first... also she had just paid the defaulted property tax amount and got her house back from the nawab order..

also 10 lakhs is a huge amount given that a few months back she was running pillar to post to keep the house running.. 2 years loss in saree shop.. and only now things seem to be looking up for the saree shop.. and pallavi is doing free lancing on her own..

Actually Tbh I felt bad when raghav refused to give her money(I do understand raghav's point of view and his situation) .I mean this girl has accepted raghav as her family and straight away went to her husband to ask for money ( If it was any other itv FL they would arrange money somehow but would hesitate to get it from Male lead ) Raghav straight away said he doesn't have 10L . The immediate thought process of mine was dude you are the owner of jayati jewels with over 200 showrooms across India . I was relieved when amma's reactions matched with mine.

Well coming to the point , had I been in pallavi's position I would have straight away got hurt . Deeply hurt huh.But pallavi was cool about it

I hope pallavi could start her own saree shop or some other business or a dance class and start making money of her own(even if it's small it will be her own hard earned money)

She also wanted to pursue PG in kathak right? So i hope a dance class would work

But here in ITV FL usually don't work after marriage or even if they do it happens only during separation track of leads.

I really didn't want her to ask Raghav for the money but it is shown--because she does not have that amount of money and all the money she earns goes to DSE. and the way she pulled Raghav to the dining table and told him about the clue she found--excited and happy--that too on Mandaar's birthday--all her hope was shattered with Raghav's denial. Albeit the fact he is doing this so he could maintain his family's happiness--but uk truth is ought to come out one day and the more you push it the bigger you dig the grave.

I too liked Amma for helping Pallavi out.

In the entire scenario of Raghav deflecting from giving money and his excuses--my expressions were same as Amma or little more exagerrated. and the fact Pallavi was not hurt--or maybe didnt show she was hurt by his response showed how she maturely handled the situation. Raghav should have atleast considered giving her a little amount of money.

this issue of self sufficient women--is something which has always been a problem in society and ITV--post marriage ITV leads are not allowed to work unless they revolt or do something.

Same I felt so bad for her when she asked for money

Like so helpless for her 😭

She needs to be independent , I hope they show her taking up her dreams and being self sufficient.

She doesn't deserve this esp seeing how hardworking she is and has shouldered the responsibility of so many people for 2 yrs .

I had the same discomfort watching the scene, but I didn't have the right words to express it. You've penned it so, so beautifully, and I agree with every word.

It comes down to financial independence, right? Here, because we know what Raghav's reasons were, and we can sympathize with him, it doesn't feel as bad as it could, but the principle of it still stings- that as a husband, he has the ability to control what activities to fund and what not to. Of course, knowing him, we know he'd never use this to control her, but the point isn't whether or not he will, but rather whether or not he can. And till Pallavi doesn't have an income of her own, he can. And that doesn't feel good to watch.

I'd love her to focus on becoming financially independent. She's always been shown to be fiercely driven, and to a large extent capable as well. She may not have kept the shop profitable, but she was resourceful enough that despite being supported by a failing business, no one in the household was ever left wanting. Would love to see more of that drive and capability from her.

Yes this was indeed a poignant scene. In fact I would have been very hurt had I been in Pallavi's place. But am not sure why they made Pallavi take it.so.casually. May be she felt it was wrong on her part to take.money from.the second.husband to get info on the first. But ya I completely agree women need to have their.own money at every point in their life! They need to be financially independent. Extremely important in life.

I too felt pallu should not ask

Since they are couple she can lend money

Raghu didn’t give her to save keerti not that he didn’t want to

He knows his wife is self made women and he respects that

He just didn’t give to stop her from investigation

After this track he will give without she asking

He helped her in past too he was the one who gave nawab contract he lost crores u see

He just doesn’t want pallu to find the truth but he knows she won’t stop so decides to surrender himself

but I always said pallu is strong individual and she is independent too but her desperation to find the truth made her to ask for loan

Ya that scene I felt bad for pallu

But not angry with Raghu because he is helpless too

Glad Amma came handy
