I think there is some reasoning behind Raghav’s character now and why he is able to hurt pallavi
he’s saying some pretty harsh things but it makes sense now because has nothing to feel guilty for
YET.
Back then he was hurt and in pain because he thought he wronged his father and brother, which is why he felt so guilty and wanted his mom and sister back
but here he has everything and he has nothing to feel guilty for, he didn’t kill abhishek and he didn’t hurt pallavi yet, so he’s in pain because he thinks she can’t understand him and she’s going against him
but his guilt trip is about to come, and it makes sense:
1) before he didn’t want to be poor and he didn’t like seeing his family struggle so he went to Krishna Rao who in turn ruined everything for him and got his father/brother killed
It sucked for him then because he was not at fault, he was young and misunderstood
2) but now, if anything happens to pallavi while trying to save raghav, he’s completely at fault
because this time he chose to continue sticking with his money, and due to that money the ACP will shoot pallavi
Pallavi will sacrifice herself to save raghav and his money
There’s a difference now
and as for having meaningful conversations and talking it out, that just doesn’t happen in ITV
In fact this track itself is progressive to some extent I would say, but the guilt trip is still required no matter what, it’s a drama
