@bold... aisa hi hona chahiye... I hope so!
I also want them to shed their burdens and just live a little. They have been shouldering responsibilities from a young age and grew up faster than they needed to. They can let their hair down from time to time until they are fully comfortable in each other's presence. I do think that initially he will not approve of Pallavi maintaining close ties with the Deshmukhs - not that I see it happening if Rambo threw her out - but especially when Mandaar returns. I can see him going totally bonkers, especially when their marriage will be null and void and she can rightfully go back to Mandaar in a heartbeat. If she's already in love with him, then it would be hard but I want Raghav to woo her to convince her to divorce both her husbands and marry him properly this time.
They are similar in that sense, both love their family and taking care of their burdens a lot ALONE. When they come together they will see they can just be themselves and not have to always stick to the status quo. Yes, with Mandar in the picture, he might become even more insecure about his status in her life, especially if neither of them has explicitly stated their feelings, but since it is iTV, maybe some of the Deshmukhs (Sharda, Milind, Nikhil, Manasi) would have also accepted Raghav as a jamai by then and they might also show him some support in this case.
@Bold: Love this innovative and progressive thought! 👏
