Soni I wanted an emotionally distant Pallavi too, and I think many of us did. I wanted one during the ACP track but nada. Raghav would be in 100x more pain and grief if he simply ceased to exist for Pallavi despite being near her. Physical pain is absolutely nothing for this guy. In the initial episodes, it was Amma Rao's coldness and her refusal to call him her son that made him suffer more than anything anyone else did. This guy cannot bear his loved ones shunning him out because for all his talks about money and power, nothing holds any value to him if his people are not there with him. IDK why Pallavi has to shift to D house every time something happens, and I was talking about this earlier with Sharada too--if they wanted Pallavi to leave, they could've easily setup a different room as a different location (like Kolhapur, or even a friend's house) where Pallavi moved.
She should just stop acknowledging him altogether, pronto. I know the writers won't give us what we want so I'm already expecting to be disappointed but I really really hope for some cold and silent treatment from Pallavi.
Ru, This is what I would love to see. An emotionally distant Pallavi who is so hurt that she does not acknowledge Raghav's love or his assurances and that will break the guy like anything. The moment Pallavi walks out he is going to go crazy and run behind her but I want him to see the hurt Pallavi is feeling because he was that complacent and never assured her of his love and indulged his ex to her face. I would have loved to see Pallavi disappearing for some time but since it is covid and they have no other place than D house or RR Mansion, I am okay with Pallavi going to D house. It would be really beautiful if Nikhil puts his Di in some room with his friend's family or something like that and no one knows where Pallavi has gone. That would be superb.
