Raghav smelling Pallavi’s hair.

There’s something between us; a sort of pull.

Something you always do to me and I to you.

- F. Scott Fitzgerald

Raghav was the richest man of Hyderabad who owned this city,a casanova who was surrounded by numerous women who were charmed by his wealth,power, looks and attitude. However, none of these women were able to impress the don of Hyderabad. BUT she was different – an out of syllabus question for him. He could not help but be drawn to her spark and personality as she was an anomaly for him.

Her hair had a sort of twisted gravity that would not let him let go.

He was intoxicated by the smell of ‘orchids’ emanating from her hair when a sudden gush of wind blew them on his face the first time. His heart pulsed at an unknown speed and his feelings were so strong that he had to briefly close his eyes to absorb it all.He was confused with these feelings he was starting to develop for a girl whose presence he could barely tolerate.

For the second time, her hair invaded his personal space and all he could think was ‘strawberries’.She always called him out for shamelessly smelling her hair and he tactfully handled the situation.

In another instance, HIS legally wedded wife asked his help to comb her hair and he agreed as he did not want to disappoint his Amma. However, his strongest sensory organ –his nose took over and all he could smell was ‘neem’ in her hair; which he had gone to great lengths to source for his chicken pox stricken fragile wife.

Pallavi smartly pranked Raghav into drying her hair in exchange for her help with Keerti’s situation. He was so engrossed in dutifully drying her hair that he failed to realize when the smell of her hair blew his mind. Both Raghav and Pallavi were lost in the moment till her hair got stuck in the hairdryer bringing them back to the present.

The smell of Pallavi’s hair always arose strong inexplicable feelings in Raghav. He would notice her presence in any room much before she arrived just due to her smell. His nose was always in overdrive when he was around her.

I love the way you look at me.

Like you are about to talk to me

Or devour me and I am fine with either.

Bathrobe scene

Hain jo iraadein bata doon tumko, sharma hijaaogi tum;

Dhadkanen jo suna doon tumko, ghabra hijaaogi tum;

Hum ko aata nahi hai chupana, hona haitujhmein fanaa.

The above lyrics completely sum up Raghav’s feelings when he first sees HIS WIFE walk towards him in nothing but a BATHROBE. It was upon Amma’s insistence and the pest control situation that made them share the room for the first time ever. His CUTE WIFE had displayed her cartoonish antics under the shower and this allowed him the perfect opportunity. He drooled over her entire form from top to bottom, the passion and hunger for her clearly visible in his eyes. His desire for her burned her skin and she shifted uncomfortably, unnerved by his relentless gaze on her.

She got back her senses momentarily and called out his behavior but our Ghamandi Rao wouldn’t let her know how mesmerized he was. He expertly turned the tables around informing her that he wasn’t checking her out rather checking how the bathrobe fit her perfectly. He also reminded her that he had seen women in lesser clothes but of course deep down he KNEW, none of them were able to make him feel anything like her.

He looked at her the way she needed to be looked at

Like the whole world could crumble and he wouldn’t blink

Lota scene

He watched the fire dance in her eyes

And it burned him

Like the hot summer sun

But he couldn’t look away,

He could only

Fall more and more

In love with the woman she was

-Erato’s Tragedy

Their marriage was a DEAL. Due to his misunderstanding, an innocent soul suffered. This was a WOMAN who helped him get back his family, believed in him when the whole world chose not to. He knew how it felt to live without a family, to crave for the ones you loved the most. How then could he let HIS SARI KA DUKKAN live without hers?

Even if he had to gulp his self-respect, his pride and arrogance, he accepted the disgusting condition set forth by his Sunkee father in law - not for her alone but also for himself, he promised her that he would fix things.

AND just as he was about to do the unthinkable, HIS QUEEN stormed in all her glory to save HER KING.

She was never the one to fight for herself but always stood like a ROCK for those she cared. She saw his efforts to make amends and while he may have failed to fulfill his promise, she still chose to forgive him.

He was now part of her inner circle - showed Mr. Vijay Deshmukh the error of his ways and proudly called herself his WIFE- Mrs. Pallavi Raghav Rao.

All his life, he wanted someone to make him a PRIORITY. This was his dream which she now fulfilled and he felt nothing but love, pride and happiness at her declaration.

She walked willingly into his hell

With her heart filled with love.

Fighting the demons in his mind

She touched his soul and conquered his heart

Gown scene

“Allow me this”

He wanted this – to take care of her, to heal her, to ensure she was well. He could not explain why, but the part of him that desired this, it was primal.

Despite everything he put her through in the past few days;she was still in his life. She promised him that her past was a closed chapter and would never impact their present or future. AND here they were alone in the confines of THEIR room.

He risked giving her a rather intimate gift – a black gown which was kind of backless with a high slit. He was never THIS nervous around women but it was different, this time – she was Pallavi, his wife, the only woman he loved with all his heart and the one he wished would love him back. He wanted to see her dressed in something other than sarees for a change.

She was initially hesitant to accept the gown after monitoring it closely, but one look at his fallen face made her accept the gift.He anxiously paced around waiting for her to wear the gown he had carefully and thoughtfully chosen. He was completely taken aback with the view in front of his eyes as she walked towards him like a seductress. She was bold and confident but he could also notice a slight hint of nervousness at what lay ahead of them tonight.

He was drawn to her like moth to a flame.

Instinctively, he bent his head wanting to capture her lips as he had wished on numerous occasions in the past. However, she stumbled sideways at his sudden action but he caught her at the right time. When she got back on her feet, she realized her zip was undone and wanted to fix it in the bathroom.He immediately asked her permission – “Mainkar du”? She nodded her head indicating her acceptance to his offer and pushed her hair to the front, granting him access to zip her dress.

This was an interesting parallel to when he walked into her room uninvited and tried to fix her blouse button at Manasi’s engagement ceremony. Though she was a stranger to him at that time, he did not feel the need to ask her permission before invading her space. Today,he was asking his wife’s permission because he respected her CHOICE and her COMFORT.

All she had to do was close the gap between them and they would ignite – fall so deep in their passion, nothing would exist beyond their skin.
