If we are only remembering his dialogues we must remember Pallavi's too...
1. Tum mere liye project hi toh ho
2. Main tumhe aisa banana chahti hoon ki mujhe tums apna pati kehne main proud feel ho.
And there were many more such conflicting dialogues before. I have not judged pallavi on her dialogues, I won't judge Raghav here.
Sanctity of marriage was important to Raghav even before he confessed his love to her. LWR in very early days of marriage has come him to make him realize that Pallavi is now his wife and a part of his family. Love came a lot later but he knew that being his wife she had rights and he never shied away from acknowledging that.
There is no Raghu anymore. He has made it clear to her not once but many times. He doesn't even feel responsible for Esha. Did he ask her where she intends to go if she's leaving town? Did he call her when the security guard told him the house is locked? When Farhad informed him about the attack in thr market, his impulse was if Pallavi is fine? When Esha walked in with Pallavi, he asked her why was she here and when she replied where do I go, he said go where ever you want. When we specifically remember dialogues why do we forget these instances? Dialogues whether that of Pallavi or Raghav have been dubious since the very start!
In his inebriated state that night... When he had no semblance of his surrounding... He called for pallavi and not Esha. If he didn't love her she wouldn't be the name ruling his subconscious in that state. From that day until yesterday, his guilt is to having cheated on Pallavi... His apologies are for pallavi and Pallavi only.
If he feels morally obligated towards Esha that is because of the guilt tripping. If someone tells you they have suffered for you... Some sort of remorse is bound to seep in if we are humans.
Yes, he should have come out clean with her. But his fears are holding him back. He's wrong there. But I cant discount his insecurities... If someone is claustrophobic because of a traumatic childhood experience be don't judge them. So if Raghav is insecure and has abandonment issues because of his experience why shove him into inferno by being inconsiderate towards his issues.
Raghav was never a man to be put up on a pedestal. If we did so when it suited our convenience, that's our problem! Now we expect him, to act the way it suits us, that won't happen because that's not how this character was written. Raghav that I have seen and known has always chosen to be deceptive when it came to preserve his relationships and to avoid difficult conversations. When was he ever straightforward when it came about with his relationships? He is a character with flaws and I love him because he's neither perfect nor puts on a garb of perfection.
Today we are resorting to compare him to mandar... Just like some people back during Pallavi bashing days proposed to get Anjali back for Raghav or maybe the turn of track would advocate Esha a better partner for Raghav. Do we see how these two have brought happiness to each other? Do we see how they complete each other? And comparing him to Mandar seriously?? A man who murdered a girl in cold blood... Who's accused of matricide! I don't know what are we really pushing this at?
MISTAKES DONT DEFINE A PERSON! AND NO PERSON CAN BE JUDGED IN ISOLATION OF AN EVENT!
Mandar was vile because his intentions were evil. Raghav made an erroneous judgment of magnimous magnitude but his intent was never vile. And intentions define karma... Intentions define the quantum of punishment even on the legal grounds. Just when someone makes one error, we write that person off... Forget all good s/he has done in the past and wish them to burn in hell fire.
Yes he needs to suffer and work towards his redemption to make things right between him and Pallavi. He should have told Pallavi because that's her right to know. But he wants to save his marriage why is he wrong? His approach is wrong... Neither him nor his intentions! I don't even know how many times I have written this, but he's not an abusive husband or a habitual offender. He was violated that night and when we want him to suffer. It's like when Mandar drugged pallavi and had the unfortunate happened, we would have blamed Pallavi that this happened because she chose to stay at D house even when Raghav didn't approve of.
Two facts for me:
1. It's Pallavi's right to know the truth.
1. Raghav took pallavi for granted and chose to hide the truth from her. Whatever comes his way, he deserves to pay the price.
If Pallavi chooses to move on, I respect her, stand by her and support her.
If Pallavi chooses to forgive him, I will respect her and her strength of her character.
I will not judge her.
And just like that I don't judge Raghav.
I love them both equally for their imperfections and I am so glad they are not ideal or perfect.
Having said that, i respect your opinions but choose to stand by mine. Because for me relationships are not to be tossed at the slightest site of the storm.
I won't further comment on this thread.
