Today's episode! 
They proved yet again what amazing actors they both are!
Their eyes alone can speak everything... and today, words were not needed at all. They were both doing this for their family... Pallavi's eyes kept flitting to the police station footage while Raghav's kept glancing at the door, waiting for amma and Keerti. The way he was observing Pallavi throughout, you could see the harsh businessman who was finalising a deal, but you could also see a thin layer of concern underneath. It was the empathy of a man who knew what she was going through, because love for family is something he understands all too well. Like he said, he was just as helpless as she was in doing this. It's why he decided to show her the footage first before anything else — he wanted her to be assured that her efforts were working. He wanted that same assurance for himself too, that this desperate act of his would finally get him his family. But he knew he had to wait for his own wish, so he gave her hers first.
I especially loved the stepping into the mandap moment for Pallavi... you could see all the conflicted emotions in her eyes, while Raghav who was already seated kept watching her foot, waiting for her to step in. Even later on, Raghav will be the committed one in the marriage, waiting for her as she continues to be in two minds about him. She will want to love him, but afraid to trust him. Even in the false agreement, he had set everything up, but until Pallavi had decided to sign, he was nervous and tensed. In their marriage too, he will try everything there is to try, but he will be helpless until Pallavi makes her decision.
But like always, she will let go of her doubts and take the step forward, giving him what he wants. The difference will be, all these times she has been Pallavi Deshmukh, powerless against him, manipulated to bend to his will. But in love, she will be Pallavi Rao and all the power will be hers, and she will willingly choose the love and happiness he offers her. And one thing is clear, it'll be Raghav protecting this marriage... he was the one holding on to the gathbandhan tightly. Whenever Pallavi falters (as we no doubt will see in the future, with Dfam's emotional blackmail)... Raghu will hold her hands and guide her back to himself and their marriage. Just like he guided her hands to put on the varmaala today 😳
Shivangi, girl, I keep saying this over and over, but your eyes are GORGEOUS 
I will never stop being in awe of them
You were on fire today! 🔥
I keep talking about Sai all the time, but today was totally your day ❤️ I couldn't take my eyes off you, not for a moment ❤️ Such a brilliant portrayal 👏
But amma, can you please wipe that smile off your face? It's sadistic and making me very uncomfortable. I have tried and tried to see you favourably, but you're making it very hard!
Can you at least pretend that you're a bit worried for what Pallavi might be going through? 
(I know hum forumwaasis bhi inki shaadi celebrate kar rahe hai, but humaari baat alag hai
We know they're the leads of our show and with this shaadi we can see more of them and less of Dfam
)
Btw, Raghav's expression when Aai and BWA arrived cracked me up a bit. He was like "mera amma aur behen to ab tak pohuncha nahi, but ye SKD ka family bina invitation tapak pada"
Told you guys, public transport wale humesha aage rehte hai 
It was an amazing episode, simply in terms of chemistry and screen presence. We are so lucky to have these two as our leads! 

TV waalo, please please watch the episode at 6.30 pm!
P.S. In the bts when I had seen her in the yellow saree, I hadn't liked it all that much. But somehow today, she looked perfect in it ❤️❤️
P.P.S. I love that when she didn't get up for the pheres, he didn't try to pull her up! That's such a typical scene in all the forced marriages of ITV, but here he actually sat back down again and talked her into doing it... nice one, CVs! 👍🏼
