They should have rather shown her wear this in retaliation of Raghav calling her aunty - like Ghamandi Rao ab batati hoo kaun aunty hai. Atleast it would make some sort of sense. I love the fact that Pallavi loves wearing sarees, that's her jam. If she wears other clothes because she likes them or for Raghav according to the place, I'm all for it so I understand your reservations. But like a lot of things, I do hawa main filter this.
Also, as far as the earlier black gown is concerned, Raghav told her clearly he wanted to see her in something different and the intention was clearly to hint at getting intimate. If he gifted her a sari or an Indian suit it wouldn't imply his intentions. A backless gown with a high slit directly implies what he wants from her. That is how I perceived the scene and the fact that she wore it in her room for her husband was perfectly fine. Also, in the hospital she covered it up with a shawl, again in character.
Also, I don't think they have ever portrayed that Raghav loves her or looks at her differently when she wears western. He's equally mesmerised with her in indian outfits, listing down for benefit of everyone:
1. Manasi sangeet - pink lehenga
2. Keerti photoshoot - pink sari
3. First time room sharing - White bathrobe
4. Second time room sharing - blue nightgown
5. Vat Savitri - red sari
6. Black gown
7. Marathi dinner - marathi sari
8. Janmashtami - lehenga
9. Bottle green gown.
Please remind me if I've missed any.
This is a very interesting topic, I'd like to discuss hahah
