Exactly what I am trying to say... They could have gradually transitioned into that phase where they have silly banters though I ideally I would've wanted Pallavi to maintain a dignified silence throughout... But I know the format of ITV shows and call it TRP audience demand or the formula that works for them, these so called "cute nok-jhoks(hate that phrase lol) are integral part of the love story. I just wanted it to happen at a later time point when they get used to being around each other... Instead, on the very next day of their official wedding, after all the big talk about badla and what not, they are behaving like hostelers fighting over a bathroom..

I have to agree. My first thought about the episode was that it was decent and we finally got a break from drama but now I feel like the transition was two abrupt. If I watched Saturday’s episode and today’s back to back, it would have felt like two different shows in terms of genre. I really wanted Pallavi to do something that has a greater magnitude in this revenge game, like the Pallavi we saw last week. But it feels like we’re going to get more of khane mein mirchi, and such childish nonsense. Makers need to balance comedy and drama a bit better and they should have started showing these pranks after a while, when she became a bit more comfortable with him or softened up to him.

I think the writers in general dealt with the widow reveal very lamely. They made pallavi use the widow reveal as a means to one up on raghav by doing tamasha in front of all. Followed by raghavs childish reaction to it. There was no sensitivity involved at all by the writers for this widow factor in raghvi’s journey as a couple.
All episodes post marriage sequence have been extremely disappointing.

Agree.. This whole widow angle has been rendered mute and of no significance whatsoever by the way they revealed it and then how Raghav reacted to it.. I guess the whole point of her being a widow will only have some impact on the story when Mandhar comes back. I wasnt expecting him to have a change of heart or anything.. if he is that self absorbed to even feel the slighest pinch of guilt then atleast dont have him act so childish..

Sorry yaar but my brain stops working whenever I hear the logic "he is a kid at heart" misguided hai. Please dont take any offence. I know he feels nothing for her. Ek hate tha ab to wo bhi nahi hai because he has achieved what he wanted to in order to take his revenge, even if it has backfired on him. Besides irritation, for using his bathroom and bedroom, or being on his face 24*7 now, he doesnt feel anythinh for her..I understand that. But isnt it normal human reaction, to feel bad/uncomfortable/somewhat guilty to know that the magnitude of the damage he did to her by character assaulting her is much more than he thought, because the said girl is not even the daughter but bahu of the house. You dont have to be attracted or in love with a person to feel some basic human emotions right? That's my complain with the writers..

About this, I feel like I understand the kid at heart statement, in the sense he isn’t innocent but he probably doesn’t get the implications . Like for me, if I did what he did my guilt would depend on the consequences she had to face. Before I would’ve found out what happened to her in Deshmukh house, I would have felt worse because they will be harsher with a DIL than a daughter but once I find out that she was thrown out it wouldn’t make a difference to me. I guess from the society’s point of view the consequences would be worse but for what she had to face from the family ...daughter, DIL would make no difference. (This is probably because I haven’t dealt with complicated family dynamics as I always lived far from my extended family and have never really seen how society treats widows) Basically as someone who hasn’t seen these aspects, I wouldn’t feel extra bad for someone just because they were a widow especially if I thought they did something as disgusting as framing my family members for prostitution and posting those pictures on the internet.

Seriously. I mean his first reaction after he gets to know that she's a widow was storming into the bedroom screaming at the top of his lungs, "saree ka dukaan ye kya tamasha kiya bahar" I mean! The fact that now he knows she is a widow just popped up as a matter of fact statement in between some inconseqential non sense blabbering wondering where she got this renewed courage?

I am unable to understand exactly when and how this man will start getting affected? Wouldn't it have made much more sense if this truth revelation had made some impact on his thought process vis a vis Pallavi? Instead of some stupid chicken pox track they are about to have where he will take care of her and suddenly inke dil aur dimag ki batti jalegi?

It was better if cvs showed him thinking about the widow reveal and Wedding rituals and Pallu's state and feeling what he had done to her. Then his alter ego telling him other way around like she had wronged her sister so its okay. ( same they did before his revenge)But him laughing like a maniac was🤢

That's possible.. maybe my patience is running out..We have come a decent way, 70-75 odd episodes I guess, and the characters, their traits and backgrounds have been well established. Now its high time they start showing some development in Raghav's character with regards to Pallavi.. It cannot and shouldnt happen overnight as a result of clearing of the MUs.. so far nothing seems to affect him and that bothers me as an audience

I too loved his reaction to the widow truth. He gave the widow reveal - a "so what" reaction. Widows are treated with so much superstition and pity. The entire vibe of the show from beginning has been of a bechari Pallavi. It is surprisingly good to see his non reaction and him treating her as before. He did note that she did all this for her in-laws and not for a family related by blood. The laugh however felt out of place and cringe 🤮.

Yes I , like him, would have a so what reaction to the widow reveal and not some pity or anything else ..so I liked that. But yes, the suicide dialogue later on was made in poor taste and wasn’t funny at all. They should have cut that part out.

oh i feel for raghav every second........and i hate it when he is being slapped by useless people.......i agree to bold lines so much

Every time, everyone slaps him, like ppl can speak out too.

I don't like this much violence on him

@bold- then keep him self centered but dont make him a joke. That scene was just pathetic where he talks about suicide. It wasnt funny at all.. the dialogues, the laugh, the entire scene from the point he walks in the bedroom screaming saree ka dukaan, till amma comes in, was just a very poorly written scene and some very average acting.

A self obsessed, ego centric man can also be shown sombre and brooding or even hot headed. why cant we have that instead of this OTT drama?

I completely agree with you, the tone of the entire sequence felt off to me. I couldn't put my finger on it until I read everyone's perspective here. I mean, I loved the episode for the comic elements and the lighthearted feel but did not like the fact that the overall narrative didn't flow naturally from where we left off in the previous episode. Does that make sense?

I also didn't like him pulling Farhad's cheeks. It just seemed like they were trying too hard to make the episode funny, instead of situational as is their typical style. I have a feeling there was a last-minute change because Shivangi wasn't available.

That’s true. Raghav’s character needs to begin showing some development and the process should be gradual. Unfortunately ITV doesn’t understand the meaning of gradual. I hope they prove me wrong and show him change his attitude towards Pallavi little by little consistently. Not one day good and the next day bad, something more like.. three steps forward one step back given the circumstances.

Of course, the approach you mentioned makes far more sense and is in keeping with their characters. I wouldn't have minded if he just went all ballistic on her for creating a scene in the party and threatening him through his mother. That would have made far more sense. Even when he saw the letter about the law, fine I get it she wanted to make a point, but Raghav didn't look like a serious don to me who was being kicked out of his room. It could have been done with him being pensive/irritated but walking out.

Dunno... will chalk this up to poor writing, as you said.
