Let's cut Pallavi some slack - Page 3

Exactly. For the story to work, these two need to be opposites, as they are. Like you said, any other woman who’s less forgiving (like me😆) would have left him and told him to go F himself.

If we see things from our perspective then it’s not enjoyable because we will always bring in our opinion of what she should do and what she shouldn’t, based on our perspective, more like we project ourselves on her. But if we just watch her for who she is, it’s easier to accept things.

💯 this. I've always said, for Raghav to be who he is and the story to still work, Pallavi also needs to be exactly who she is. A Pallavi even slightly less forgiving or large hearted than the one we have would not have given him that second chance at the train station. She'd have gone off to Kohlapur, and never given Hyderabad or it's residents a second glance the second Nikhil was no longer under threat, and then we'd have no show to watch!

Hahaha, you know, I stopped trying to figure out what I'd do it Pallavi's position wayyy back because I realize the show would have lasted less than a week 😂😂😂

Also, in this situation- we have so much more context as audience on Mandaar than she does. She may have terrible dynamics with Vijay, Sulochana and Mansi but Mandaar is still a victim of circumstances from where she's standing. And he's someone she admired and respected greatly, dreamed of a life with, made his family her own to honor her promises to him after his death, mourned him for two years. She doesn't hear the 'tum mere ho' song (lucky girl! I wish I could unhear it) so idk, her behaving anyway other than the way she currently is would feel so wildly out of character.

Honestly I'm quite enjoying this track. RaghVi are in such a good place with each other, and I feel so proud of how well they've both been communicating this time around. Their lack of communication has been my biggest complaint for them for a while now, and I love seeing them get better at it!! ❤️❤️

If Pallu wasn’t the way she is, there would be no Raghvi because who marries a man who walks into her home, character assassinates and gives her money for nights they’ve spent together, all of it being lies. And who falls in love with this man? Only she can because she is forgiving, generous, kind and naive. It is this quality that draws Raghav to her.

And she’s like this for everyone around her. She was designed this way and the only time she learns is after she falls, as she fell when Raghav practically destroyed her. This time too, with the Ds she will fall and learn, but Raghav is there to hold her and guide her.

She’s a sweetheart, too good for this world. Too naive for this world and mahaan in our words.

Exactly all what I wanted to say 🤗🤗

Raghav has definitely had relationships before but they never gave him even 0.0001% of pallavi has given to him .

The strength of her character , her goodness , her courage

her nature which even after being hurt she still trusted him and let go off the only thing she wanted her family - that's what has made him fall in love with her .

Without those qualities she wouldn't be pallavi ( raghavs pallavi ) in the first place

We can't cut her any slack. She's a she. "She" is expected to be perfect.

HAHAHAHA!! I'm with you. Mine wouldn't even have started since I don't go slapping random men on the roads....and mein muh nahi lagati aise gundo ko, woh hoga billionaire apne ghar me😆 My love story would not have kicked off and if by any remote chance it did, It would not have moved past 3 days of knowing Raghav. I would have hired another shop and gotten rid of Raghav 😆

Exactly, as audience, we have an all rounding perspective and information. Her character does not hear the psycho song that plays in the background, she doesn't see him staring at her pics and speak to himself about how he'll get her back. She still believes him to be the good man that she had come to respect and accept as her husband and she did envision a life with him at one point. For her, to think that Mandar is evil is impossible right now and that is why she thinks she has this duty to help him. Fair enough from her perspective.

I love this track. I love how they talk to each other. I love how they share their little moments in their private space. What I love the most is how this love story progressed naturally, without any forced romance and eye locks and all that nibba nibbi drama. They truly have an organic growth, from hate to friendship, respect to trust and finally love.

Don't even get me started on this... double standards in society continue to perpetuate. Ek aurat hi dusri aurat ki sabse badi dushman hoti hai... there's a reason why people say that. Ugh..

I hope this is how it goes.

I am more worried about RR losing his senses and causing some irreversible damage to their relationship. I can't take another redemption track. 🤔

This relationship is everything to him and we know he is not a very patient man.

I am not saying Pallavi alone should take responsibility of this relationship and stop being herself. But I really want her not to repeat the dinner date mistake.

Raghav isn't a patient man, yet he waited for Pallavi all this time, he waited for his mother and sister to join him all this time and with Keerti he's still waiting to reconcile with her one day. He is just as good going for a surgical strike as he is playing the long game. His methods can sometimes be questionable but not his intent.

This is one of the biggest challenges in his life and he's the kind of person who would fight till last breath to protect what's his if he needs to. There's no way he'll let this marriage break down for whatever reason and I trust him to figure out which tactics to employ, whether it's playing mind games or intercepting them, or using brute force where necessary. If there's collateral damage due to his actions, well he needs to accept that and figure out next steps, hopefully after learning some lessons along the way.

Same thing with Pallavi. She may end up using the wrong tactics despite having the best intentions. She'll have to accept the outcomes, resolve not to repeat those mistakes, and then move on to fight the enemy.

The only thing I see going wrong is if they both fail to communicate effectively not just with each other but with their allies too, because there are too many wolves waiting to attack them at the slightest sign of weakness. Presenting a united front is key and if people they know change sides, they need to be even more resilient to withstand the hurt coming their way.

I swear, my response would have been like - this dude seems kinda deranged and off on a trip, imma maintain distance. Kaun roz roz apna khoon jalaaye? Kiara, we're not cut out to be ITV FLs!!

I actually love that Raghav is the only one feeling off about Mandaar. Even Amma is sympathetic, as would I think most people be in this situation? But we've always seen Raghav as being extraordinarily perceptive and sharp about gauging people. It is so perfect that he can sense something wrong in his gut way before anything tangible even happens. Warna looking objectively, Mandaar hasn't done anything 'evil' yet.

Completely with you on loving this track. There have been episodes here and there where I haven't liked the execution, and I hawa mein filtered kissa keel ka completely, from the accident to the weird hospital stuff (barring Pallavi's beautiful confession). But overall, this track has me up in my feels every single day, and I love seeing these two idiot babies growing together.

You’ve brought up some great points. I do have some differing opinions but you’re right that she is just trying to figure things out as they’re happening to her. And while I disagree with her recent reactions and have criticized her as of late, that doesn’t mean I don’t also understand that she needs time to process things and that she’s going to make mistakes along the way while trying to figure everything out. I hope everyone else gets it too.

None of these characters are perfect and they’re going to mess up (I was not a part of the forum when Raghav was royally screwing up left and right so I wasn’t able to take part in any of those discussions) - and that’s just all part of the story!

Personally, my criticisms are often just me trying to process and understand the characters. At the end of the day, they’ll always end up doing something that doesn’t sit right with different audience members. I really just want Pallavi to stand up for herself and what she wants (to be with Raghav). It’s her choice of who’s home she stays in and whose wife she is. I, like Raghav, worry she’s gonna get trapped before she even realizes what happened.

Also, I think the redeeming part of all this is that once Pallavi realized that Raghav was upset/worried - she tried to make sure she wasn’t put in a situation like that again (for ex. When Sulochana called about the pooja). So that shows growth to whoever criticized her (me included). I appreciated that scene and I’m sure we’ll see more of that as she continues to navigate all of this.

I agree we can never be ITV FL’s ever 😆

I really like that Raghav is back to his original self- the perceptive one. He smells trouble from far, he has really sharp eyes in that he just looks at someone’s actions and can figure the person out....and the way Sai stares at someone with those dangerous looking eyes can make anyone think twice before crossing his path. He’s got really sharp eyes.

Me too, I love watching these two love birds, it feels like I’m the one falling in love 😆

Idiot babies 🤣 love this!!
