You know, I was watching some VMs on instagram and it made me realize that there's a good chance and reason for Pallavi getting attracted first. Raghav brought colors into her life in many ways that affected her, without even realizing that he did that or that it impacted her life. For example, sindoor in episode 1, the flower garland during the pooja that he throws in anger and somehow lands on her neck, the flower shower when he trips and falls on her, the RR henna tattoo, etc. He was oblivious to half of those things but they did affect her subconsciously. It's like he's making his mark on her heart and mind.
The dressing the wound scene was the first time an action of hers touched his heart in that way. Otherwise, in the beginning of the show he did say that Raghav Rao and marriage can never happen. So he isn't thinking about having a special person in his life. Uska saara effort Amma aur Keerti ko manane mein hai, not for Pallavi. Even when driving to the sangeet, he was reflecting on how he was going to her house but to win his mother over. 😆
