Ok I finally watched the episode and I gotta say, I love this Raghav Rao. He's so classy in his way of taking revenge. Hit it straight where it hurts, job done. I was so so afraid he was gonna trap her in an MMS scandal like what happened to Keerti, but thank god, he kept his standards. He only wants to take away her respect from her family, he has no intention of maligning her in front of the entire world. His entire conversation with Krishna and then with Pallavi... he had it all chalked out, exactly what he wanted to do. The man with a plan. Very nicely done Raghav Rao
I also felt that whatever he said about Pallavi today is true in essence, even now, even though he was acting. He does admire her guts, her zeal, her dedication to her shop, her ability to give back answers that can silence even the great Raghav Rao... this is the true Pallavi, whom he has gotten to know all too well. He's in a blind rage right now and it's clouding everything else in his mind, but at his core he will always know that this is the woman she is — strong, independent, hardworking and honest. Someone worth appreciating and admiring
This is why I also loved the initial hallucination scene. He has her figured out so well. He knows she's a simple girl, he remembers her good-hearted nature and all the times she has helped him out, but he also knows that she can go to any extent for her family. Which is basically Pallu in a nutshell! When Farhad says, "Pallavi ji aisa kabhi nahi kar sakti"... I love that Raghav's answer wasn't something like "Wo aisa hi hai Farhad, mujhse samajhne mein galti ho gaya. Mukhota pehenkar rakha tha ab tak etc etc". Nope, he said, "Wo normally aisa kabhi nahi karegi Farhad, but apne family ke liye wo kuch bhi kar sakti hai" Which means he still believes her to be the same girl he has understood her to be... just that right now she's taking revenge on him for destroying her sisters' happiness. Which is a concept Raghav understands all too well, crossing limits for one's family. I'm so glad that this is how they showed his mistrust, because even through it all, there's still an understanding of her character somewhere in him... a trust even amidst the mistrust
Now all he needs to realise is that there are limits Pallu would never cross, not even for her family... and this is strictly in that category. Besides, that girl is all words and no actions when it comes to her threats... Raghav should know that He does know that, which is why he smiled and smirked whenever she threatened him in the past few days
It's just right now, he feels like she actually made those threats materialise
Koi nahi, once he starts living with her, he will understand all that he needs to
So far he has been a perfect judge of character... he won't take much time to realise what a good heart she has. It'll definitely be Pallu who keeps the hatred going strong
About Pallavi... I was so pleasantly surprised that she brought up the EMI condition! Even Raghav was surprised for a moment there, you could see it in the way his eyes widened (kudos to Sai for his acting today, he nailed all the scenes perfectly
) But he's Raghav Rao and he's born smart, so he improvised and got what he wanted anyway... bechari Pallavi
I loved how she kept her composure in front of him today, not just going gaga over the offer but using her mind to think through it. I love this Pallavi much more than the stupid loudspeaker jo kabhi bhi apne bhashan ka channel on kar deti hai in front of RR
Today's Pallu is the girl I love
But she got badly fooled today
I felt so sorry for her, all she thought about was how she was making her baba proud
Such a pure girl she is
That buddha doesn't deserve her at all
Today was Raghav day for my heart, tomorrow it'll be Pallavi day for sure Her brother was so right, she gives her everything fighting for this family, and they're just gonna kick her out heartlessly. I just cannot wait for her to realise how much they'd taken her for granted
Please please get them married already! (I feel like my every thought about this show ends with this same line every time
)
