I’m thinking this may be a subtle show from the creative team of consent.
Mandar assumes Pallavi’s wants to come back to him - he assumes consent. He even orders her not to swing by Deshmukh Nivas until then DNA results are out. He never once asked for her consent. It seems to me to be power play more than any love on his side.
Raghav on the other hand, knows his marriage is real and valid. And in spite of that, you see him asking Pallavi for her consent by putting out his hand where she willingly placed her hand in his to be led out of Deshmukh Nivas.
I think they are showing consent. You cannot assume consent just because you are married. I think they follow through with the consent theme as they show Pallavi taking the lead on their relationship, whether to confess or to initiate intimacy.
It’s beautiful 😍.
I don't get why no one brings up that fact that she's legally married to Raghav now, and even if Mandar wanted, he can't just "take her back" (Like why doesn't Raghav just say it?)
She married Raghav thinking and legally being a widow, so I don't think her marriage to him would be invalid.
Also, why is Mandar acting as if Pallavi is just some toy that he can "take back"? Why can't Pallavi or Raghav say that, "well you can't, she doesn't want to be your wife"... because Mandar is in a "delicate situation" ??!?!? Such bull, he already knows Pallavi is married to someone else and has moved on so I'm not sure what they're protecting him from??
