100% agree. Thank you for this post, dear. 👏
We have our own view on what we would have done in her place but she is the only person who can decide what's best for her and for their relationship. This isn't about us.
I understand people are upset with what's going on and are speculating what they would have done in real life but the whole point of a woman being strong is for her to have the freedom and the right to choose what her next steps would be in such a situation. Not following what other people say she should do.
I get some people are being sarcastic but some are going overboard with the virtual lynching of Raghav by saying he should marry Esha and let Pallavi unite them and what not, and that he doesn't love Pallavi or finds her attractive, etc. despite him saying or showing in every other scene how much he loves her and hates himself for doing this to her, even if he knows it was unintentional.
And yes, Raghav doesn't love Esha. It's Pallavi or no one else, that's it. Just like Pallavi, Raghav also has the right to decide what he wants to do next. We can't dictate that he marry Esha (clearly it's the last thing he'd want to do willingly) or grovel for that matter. We may want him to but what if he doesn't and decides to go for another alternative?
Absolutely. People keep forgetting they are not Pallavi and Pallavi is not them. Hence the fictional character will decide based on their own tolerance levels, experiences and emotions. Pallavi is an emancipated woman who has the agency to decide what she wants to do - stay or leave or take time to heal. We cant decide for her, we can understand her and support her decisions.
No comments on the virtual lynching of his character because no one is focusing on him saying 'I love the way you are' or ' I love u pallavi' but only on 'emotions main beh gaya' which can actually mean a lot of things.
Words are always open to interpretation. I didn't feel he said he got swayed by his emotions for Esha. Don't focus on words in isolation but in context of the overall situation.
