I was away for some time so wasn't participating in the discussions, finally I have got some quality time and I decided to share my thoughts in the forum. My views may not make sense to all but I will try to put down what I feel. Sorry for long post
Chakor falling in love with Raghav was too quick for some, for some it was messy, for some it was ok and for some it was unacceptable and butchering. The way I look at it, it makes sense and I am glad they didnt take conventional route for her because after showing such a deep and memorable love story between Sukor they can't show Chakor taking the similar route with another man where they cover all the steps in the same order. They aren't showing Ragkor as replacements to Sukor. Chakor fell in love with Raghav much before but his love confession gave her locked feelings an opening. Yes I to wanted more SS for Chakor emotions, more detail etc. but I am trying to accept the fact that the writing team will always give us less than we want. I rather enjoy the good and hope they will keep up the progress with Ragkor post the love confession. Chakor expressions and gestures post the confession have been shown well, when the marriage talk started her expression transformed slowly, one could see the difference between hers and Raghav expression. I am rooting to see more emotions form Chakor in coming episodes.
Chakor lost Suraj in the most tragic way. She was shattered but the only driving force for her was her child. When she saw Raghav, his face was the key to her; she hired him and got him to the haveli. she knew he isnt Suraj but she wanted him there for Anjor sake. It was so painful for her to see him all the time bec his face always reminded her of Suraj and the fact kept coming in front of her that he isnt Suraj and he has gone forever.
it takes a moment to fall in love but falling in love doesnt mean Chakor has moved on. For me she loves Raghav, she has spelt i love you out too, but its in a simple and plain way. she didnt pour out her emotions. They is much more to love than the typical I love you sentence. Chakor love confession to Raghav was bang on imo, bec it fits in the stage she is at right now. Chakor is NOT opening out to Raghav completely yet, she is still hesitant, slight discomfort, no passion, no possessiveness as such, she doesn't fantasize him. she currently is taking baby steps towards him. Chakor has NOT moved on yet. Chakor will move on only when she completely surrenders herself and her emotions to Raghav.
As far as Suraj goes, Chakor will always love him and he will always be a part of her. Just because she loves Raghav, It doesn't mean she no longer loves Suraj. The way we cherish Suraj, Chakor to will cherish Suraj and their beautiful memories. When one loses a spouse to death, they dont stop loving him/her, they keep the love intact inside them and they love their children whom are a symbol of their love. People die not love and Sukor love is everlasting
Chakor is wearing Suraj Mangalsutra but the reason for that is Anjor. if she takes it off, it will lead to Anjor inquiring and doubting. i do feel its time now that Chakor should tell Anjor the truth, hope the makers focus on that angle soon
Yes Chakor is not shown having fbs of Suraj all the time now but that's maybe because makers want audience to move on with Chakor Raghav. i do feel Chakor will have fbs of Suraj whenever its needed. She not having suraj fbs all the time doesn't mean she has forgotten him.
as far as Chakor not shown feeling guilty and her doings not being justified, imo love cant be justified,,Raghav as an individual has made such a great impact on Chakor that she couldnt hold herself back and his pure and profound love confession to Chakor played a grand role. She got to hear from him what he feels for her, what she means to him and he is wants to make her a part of his life. Those words of him began her walk on a path, which lead to her finally accepting her love too.
Chakor has been in love before so I don't think it should be hard for her understand the emotion she Is carrying for Raghav. When one hasn't been in love he/she may be confused, with Chakor the case is different. Raghav has won Chakor love but they is a lot more steps Chakor needs to take and Raghav will help her.
Writers need to concentrate on building the depth between Chakor Raghav. They should have heart to heart conversations. They can show the aspect of Chakor having guilt feelings only when Anjor gets to know and she con fronts her. I to want to see Chakor get more SS to showcase her emotions in greater level but I have decided not to let any weak writing over power what I am enjoying in the show. They is a lot to add and explore and I hope the writer will continue adding to Chakor-Raghav.
Chakor Raghav scenes this week were well sketched out and Chakor emotions and gestures were relatable
I did see the VJ iv where he brought up the fact that if Suraj is not there, they cant show Chakor alone. I believe he is trying to out forward the practical side of it all.
I know many were deeply connected to Suraj and Sukor and I do understand your views but lets look at it this way, the show is over 1200 episodes if they hadn't brought in this highpoint, they would have gone for a generation leap and we would have not got meejay too. Things would have been worst if they hadn't retained Vj and got another actor to play Chakor love interest. We should be happy they brought him back as Raghav and we continue to enjoy meejay rocking chemistry. We need to appreciate the good things too. Having said that I don't want Suraj back if he is not Raghav, because the triangle between Chakor,. Suraj and Raghav would be beyond painful to bear. If Raghav is not Suraj then better to let Suraj be in peace and continue with Ragkor. Hope I haven't hurted anyones feelings
Imo Chakor hasn't been butchered because she hasn't betrayed Suraj and his love in any way, she fell in love with Raghav and that's something beyond her control.
