See, the SSR case.. kya hua? Kuch hua? The CBI had all the proofs necessary.. arre cctv mein chehra direct capture ho gaya tha... arrest hona toh dur ki baat, case tak file nhi hua. SSR did an amazing job, he was brave to have taken on these heavyweights on his own. He had a tight moral compass he didn't budge from. What did that serve him? His life was taken in a brutal way and not even the luxury of justice.
Note that I am not saying that what happened with him was right. It's just the reality. Prudently and practically thinking what he did was courageous but incredibly foolish. I followed the entire case. But I knew the perpetrators will never be punished. And that's exactly what happened. Its ruthless, twisted, unfair and wrong in so many ways that I have lost count.
And in real life this is what happens. Agreed, I don't believe love is all you require to sustain a relationship. You need money. 🤣
Money maynot buy you happiness, but it buys you enough to lessen your sadness.
I might come out to look like an extremely money minded and selfish person but, cannot help it. I have seen many situations which could have just been avoided and improved if we had money.
Ethics, moral values are obviously needed. You must have a moral compass. However selective it is (note Raghav does have it). But this Satya Yug level morality or righteousness in kaliyug doesn't work. Its worthless and useless. Specifically where materialistic goods are concerned.
And if you are talking about that ff where Pallavi turns him over to the police, it was a very illogical response at Raghav's behalf. If I were Raghav I would've come out of the Police's hold easily (thats what happens in reality) and never want to see Pallavi's face again. He has gone through a lot, done a lot (even if some was illegal and immoral) for earning that amount of money. He has some fundamentals he doesn't cross and that's more than fine because other people donot even have that much.
Not a dig, but telling your child that his father is like Shivaji Maharaj while his intestines are dissolving due to hunger, his friends leering at his tattered uniform, his college fees unpaid, looks very unpleasant to be fair. Again, not a dig.
Agreed, because of him honestly working merchants would be at a loss. Its unfair but that's life. If you donot have the balls to take a few hits in the gut you donot deserve your due. That's completely my take. I have seen people wiping the floor with other people to rise in the ladder of success. And I for one wouldn't be sitting still holding up to my unbendable moral values waiting for karma to strike them and me getting my due because I'm honest.
It doesn't happen that way. It really doesn't. Speaking from experience.
So essentially I have no problem with how Raghav does his business. He has the guts, the balls, the brains and a fairly good moral compass relative to most businessmen. I just know it's impossible in real life for two people like Raghav and Pallavi staying together. They might be in love and might never fall in love with anyone else but a marriage between them will be a potential disaster.
These are all my opinions. No offence to anyone.
