With so many Rohit Raima fb scenes flooding the forum and all the trepidation we Ronakshi shippers are feeling because of Raima, it made me to think of some way this track could justify these three characters.
We don't know much about Raima other than that she is a positive character. Rohit describes her as a very spontaneous girl who does what she feels like at the moment. Rohit seems to have genuinely loved her once.
It's been 4 years since Rohit and Raima have had any contact. Like every other person, Rohit must have grown with time. His experiences must have changed him. Raima is not in his life and he's been blaming himself for it. This tragic experience must've affected him in a big way. Also, he has progressed a lot in his professional life and is now one of the best heart surgeons. A person's professional growth also affects the person as a whole. Bottom line is, his character is capable of growth and has matured with time. It has already been proved by the fact that he's falling in love with a TV actress whose profession he used to scoff at, just some time ago. He not only respects Sona now, but also respects her dedication to her profession.
On the other hand, when Raima wakes up from coma, she would effectively still be the same person who she was 4 years ago. It'd feel like she's still stuck in the past when the people around her have gone ahead in time.
I think Rohit being stuck on Raima was largely because he never got closure. She just disappeared entirely from his life suddenly. Moreover, he blamed himself for her condition.
The past Rohit may have loved Raima, but the present Rohit clearly sees himself fit with Sonakshi. I know there might be Sonakshi's heartbreak on the way to this realisation, but I really want Rohit to fugure it out.
I don't know which way the makers would swing, but it'll be one of two options for me. Either they show something logical and I'd keep obsessing over the show, or they participate in the TRP race with stupid twists and I'll go back to my ITV hibernation waiting for something else refreshing to come up. My fingers are crossed for the first scenario.
