At least now l know that as some of us were saying about his perspective, Raghav didn't tell Pallavi about this before because he was trying to figure out what was the least hurtful option for her, rather than because he wanted to lie or hide deliberately in order to be deceptive. The fact that she didn't hear him was typical ITV but I'm glad he talked about it twice. Not sure how I feel about him telling Keerthi, but is this because they are trying to redeem her? 😲
Overall loved the episode and execution but it's tough to watch Raghav battling his inner demons while drowning in an ocean of guilt.
Pallavi's dialogues today when questioning her own desirability showed what a lot of women go through. I felt bad for her. The whole time I was thinking that nope, he actually loves you the way you are and your soul is what he fell for rather than your looks anyway. He wouldn't have even waited for you to do all this to get close if things had been different. I get that he's struggling with his guilt but he needs to be gentle when refusing her advances, maybe tell her he needs time or isn't ready or something. She would get it. I hope Keerti helps him understand this from a woman's point of view how Pallavi's self-esteem is affected.
Based on the precap I'm wondering if Amma will write Raghav off too when she finds out and if Keerti will be the one to stand by him and help him sort this out.
I'm enjoying the track for the important messages they are showing. A lot more is happening under the surface than is initially visible and we are back to seeing the multi-layered writing that I used to love on this show. Also screenplay and camera work in every single scene was top-notch today.
Kudos to the team. 👏
