It is difficult to choose one of them, but if I had to, at the moment, I would choose Pari over Ragini. Ragini did many crimes, she was the worst of all the negatives so far in the show and yet she was forgiven and not punished. Her redemption track too was nothing, which makes it very difficult to like her now. On top of all this, now she is lecturing Pari on her kartoots...what right does she have to do that? She tells Pari you killed my sister, yet she herself tried to kill Swara twice earlier. When Ragini has not been punished in any way, how can she threaten Pari with punishment?
If CVs are trying to force the idea that Ragini is redeemed and is now positive on viewers, it is actually having a reverse effect. I am hating her more and more with each episode. Her Swaraginiii speeches, her tears for Swara, her lectures to Pari...everything makes me dislike her more. If CVs really wanted to justify the title and behna bond to be highlighted, they should have given a proper redemption track for Ragini and if done well, it would have been a very interesting track. They did well with Sanskaar, so the CVs are capable of it; why not with Ragini? Justifying it saying she did it for love and giving her the love she wanted without any effort at repentance on her part...it is a stupid way of dealing with the storyline! The viewers are not fools!
So what are CVs upto? Do they have something else in mind for the future? Is Ragini going to pay for her kartoots sometime soon with this chain of events? Or do they want us to continue hating Ragini in spite of her being positive? Everything about her irritates now, even her detectivegiri which was stretched so much. Her constant "iska matlab" got on my nerves yesterday.
If anything, Ragini should have understood Pari's insecurities better than anyone else. If she is truly redeemed, she would deal with this differently, not accuse but be more understanding. She would try to persuade Pari to confess and try to give her confidence rather than accusing and threatening. That is how Swara dealt with Ragini when she was doing wrong. To me Ragini looks like she can turn around any moment; if she is faced with the prospect of losing Laksh, she will do anything to get what she wants!
Pari has not reached Ragini's heights yet, but she may in the future as per the precap. And I am sure that while Ragini got off scot-free for all the crimes she did, Pari will be punished badly for whatever she does. Swara got it right and left even when she did not deserve it. Sanskaar had to work hard for forgiveness and acceptance. But Ragini and Lakshya had it handed to them on a silver platter, which makes it difficult to like these characters. Lucky is more acceptable than Ragini because he at least expressed regret and apologized, but Ragini is truly favoured. Yet she is not liked by the audience, which is an interesting paradox!
