Maybe I missed out on some details, especially since I do not everything 100%. From what I have seen and understood so far, Raghav has no issues with women being in business. He has issues with the type of women he attracts. Or let me correct that, which his money and status attracts. Most likely based on previous own experiences. Either he got cheated on or women were willing to date him for the money whereas they had partners already, just to see if they could a financial upgrade and in lifestyle.
When he sees Pallavi unconscious on the street, he does give a pro woman, women are so strong speech. He does say Pallavi is strong in mentality but now she has become physically weak. We should help her. This is our duty.
He admires her spunk, her attitude. She will not be spooked by his initial dominance. He likes a challenge and she is ready to take him on. He respects that. He respects the game.
From that part I consider the character to be not against women being in business.
I think, what he does not like, and in which he is challenging her by saying certain things to her such as better stay home in the kitchen etc. Knowing this is a trigger for her. If you do business, then do business. You cannot run your company, being in heavy debts the way you are doing right now. In this situation you have to be 100% committed, have a game plan, a process, do research etc. Change something, otherwise the situation remains the same. He does business with other women as well. Think of that lady that came by who wanted to by that hideous all Indian saree.
When it would come down to women being widows or divorced and get remarried, I cannot see the problem for Raghav at the moment. He seems free spirited, unconventional enough to accept others as they are. He is one who understands what it is like to be not accepted.
I can imagine he would not be pleased with lies, disloyalty.
In the cage scene, where he sees only her eyes and says after long time he has seen honesty in someone's or some girl's eyes. I am so curious to his story as well. For both Raghav and Pallavi there are so many gaps still.
Not only Lion, but some girl really did a number on him it seems. Why would he lost faith and think women are gold diggers.
It can go either way, as you have mentioned. I hope he would not change too much. If only for the better, but he needs to keep his swag 😃
