Let us hope so.. I am sure he checked out the edits.. My imagination tells me he is more of a visual kind of a guy..

NON-DISCRIMINATOR & TRUE EQUALITY-BELIEVER in Today's Times:

I wanted to acknowledge how Non-Discriminating & a strong believer of Equality Raghav Rao is:

Now I wasn't able to find the exact recording from the start but this scene was 2 people who're very concerned about him - talking about his feelings even when we feel he might have treated them rudely. You may Ask then....Why're these folks still considerate towards him? Because despite everything Raghav always looks out for his closed ones & in turn had made them part of his family whilst his blood & loved ones stayed far away from him.

Here Raghav had been very helpful to Ramaswami(his house-help) as he not only helped his son gain a good job but was also ready to teach a lesson to Ramaswami's employer as apparently he was getting troubled a lot by him as stated by Farhad. On realizing that Farhad was just pulling his leg as Ramaswami's employer is actually Raghav himself, he breaks into a hearty laugh and all 3 enjoy a light-hearted moment🤗

Then let's come down to his talks & actions with Pallavi - while initially he spouted dialogues that can take him for being a misogynist, we very well know that later we came to know he's the opposite. He would always try to help Pallavi but treat her as his equal on all occasions before & after their marriage.

Definitely must be the upbringing of the Fierce Amma - Mrs. Jaya Rao & the fact that Keerthi also supported their mother alone all those years when Raghav couldn't be with them directly.

The last Episode also cements this fact when he doesn't let his sister Keerthi leave the house stating that he doesn't believe that after marriage a girl can't stay with her parents - if their brother was alive, he would have done the same. He also presents Pallavi with an admission form to a Fashion Designing Course as he believes in her pursuing her career seriously.

Raghav can be generous, which is different from non-discrimination. A non-discriminator treats people fairly, irrespective of liking or disliking them or expecting anything in return. Raghav does not believe in fairness. He takes or destroys what doesn't belong to him, pays less than he owes, punishes those who assert themselves, rewards those who give him preferential treatment, and keeps enough resources for his own aggrandizement and frivolous pleasure first, before he gives away any of the excess to others. Raghav's behaviour is totally discriminatory.

Raghav uses and discards people, including the police and his loyal employees (e.g. Harish is in prison for Raghav's crimes), knowing very well that he's abusing his power over people's lives. Raghav's generosity is random and fickle. Raghav paid for the medical expenses of a woman with cancer, a taxi driver, a woman who was hit by a car, a "boyfriend case" involving Dr. Kanika ... just the same as he paid for operations for his servant Ramakrishna's wife and for his Āī, Sharada. But even after Kirti told Raghav, it's your fault that Vijay Uncle is in the hospital, Raghav's reaction to Pallavi paying Vijay's bills with his Rs. 5 lakh, and not leaving Hyderabad, was to try to stop payment on the check. Raghav had thrown the money at Pallavi because he didn't want to say, "I'm sorry," but his ego made him want it back, even if it cost her father's life. That is as discriminatory as one can get.

In the second episode, Raghav mocked his servant Ramakrishna ("Rama" - not Ramaswami) for "faking" concern for Raghav. In a much later scene, Raghav was surprised that Ramakrishna got his son Jay to repair Raghav's table tennis racquet, and Ramakrishna reminded Raghav, you helped me with my son's school fees and my wife's operation. Until that moment, Raghav didn't think of Ramakrishna as his own person; Raghav gave money because he had it and Ramakrishna didn't, just as Raghav would give to anyone on a whim. But as soon as Raghav realized that Ramakrishna's affection for him is genuine, Raghav wanted to do something special for him. He asked Ramakrishna if his son Jay's boss mistreats him. Farhad said that Jay's father's boss mistreats him, and Raghav lost track of who was who in his nepotism: "my Ramakrishna's son's father should get good treatment from his boss." The scene illustrated how Raghav doesn't maintain relationships; his interest in others is intermittent.

As suddenly as Raghav decided that Ramakrishna was his own, he has also suddenly rejected people that he called his own. In one scene, a woman came to Raghav's house to ask for money, insisting to Farhad that "Aṇṇā knows me." Raghav greeted her kindly, but when she said that today he was giving alms, not sharing his good fortune, and he should atone for his sin, Raghav insulted her, shouting at the watchman to keep her out. Raghav also lashed out at Pallavi on several occasions in their marriage, telling her that he would do whatever he wanted and her feelings didn't make a difference.

If Raghav believed that his wife is his equal, he would accord her the same rights as himself. Instead, Raghav has expectations of Pallavi that he doesn't allow her to have of him. Raghav refused to limit his illegal business so that Pallavi wouldn't be embarrassed by him, but he still protested that Pallavi's choice of lifestyle was embarrassing to him. Raghav thinks it's fine for him to interfere in police business, but he saw Pallavi talking to Lakshmi and accused her of betraying him (by telling the truth). Raghav acted out when Pallavi forgot and missed his award acceptance speech, but he deliberately didn't smile for her sake at Gaṇeśa Caturthī in front of her family. When Pallavi wanted Rs. 10 lakh to pay the watchman who saw Mandar, Raghav lied, saying that he didn't have the money, and he secretly paid the watchman himself to lie to Pallavi. Pallavi didn't want an expensive necklace, but Raghav insisted that Raghav Rao's wife should wear it. Raghav snapped at Pallavi for falling asleep suddenly and being carried by Mandar, but when Raghav woke up naked with another woman, he lied to Pallavi and continued the affair!

Raghav wants to pamper his sister and his wife, which is different from renouncing misogyny and believing in the equality of men and women. Raghav believes that he has made himself superior to everyone around him. Saying that Kirti can stay in his house, just as Arjun would have stayed, doesn't mean that Raghav believes women are equal to men in general. If Raghav believed in Kirti's equality to him, he wouldn't have tried to force her into marriage. Raghav is just saying that he can maintain his sister the way he would have maintained his brother. Raghav is rich and everyone in his family is his dependent.

That's your understanding of the Character.

Mine is different & I don't account much of it from Mandaar's track cos the PH pretty well digressed from showing any Character in their original forms from then on.

Ofcourse, everyone has their own perspective of the character & they're entitled to it as well.

And so Raghav to me remains as I have written here.

I totally agree with you Sonia. Everyone has their own perspective of the character. Moreover this is an appreciation thread so I would be happy if people who want to discuss/debate the character traits of the fictional character Raghav could spare this thread and create new threads on the Main forum.

It's funny that few people watched the whole show to criticise the male lead instead of watching superlative regional content that is so praiseworthy according to them 🤣

Itna fariq kaise hote hai log

It's funny that few people can't stand criticism of fictional characters, so they turn their ire onto real people.🤣

Itne toxic fan kaise hote hai log
