What a lovely episode and heartfelt promises made by a repenting Raghav. The track I was waiting for & what a role reversal. All rules according to Pallavi and for Pallavi. This is what we were talking about....the day Raghav makes Pallavi his part of life he will go to any extent to give her everything she needs. Pallavi will get to see this Raghav now. I also agree with many here, I want Raghav alone in Deshmuk house. Pallavi will go all soft on them every time anything happens, but Dโs family has to be dealt Raghav Rao style. Letโs see but I donโt want him softening too much. So many references to Mandar today looks like we have Mandar back in 30 days. Why Venkateswara ๐ค Even if Aayi & Baba accept Raghav by that time, Mandar is still a full U turn for them.
I hope Mandaar doesn't arrive until much later. In some ways it would be great if he never shows up, but this is ITV so no chance of that happening. What I do want to see is Pallavi think about him and mention him from time to time. For now, she's clearly told Raghav that the Mandaar topic is off-limits for him, so he won't dare ask about him directly, but when he lives with D-fam he is bound to be curious about what kind of man he was and why Pallavi admires him so much. When Raghav actually falls in love with Pallavi, I'd expect him to feel insecure in the sense that he might never be up to the high standard that Mandaar was, so would Pallavi ever have room for him in her heart? I want him to think those things, because all his power and wealth will not help him in that case, just the goodness of his heart.
Let me also add that she is not obliged to love him. No matter how many good things Raghav does for her, at the end of the day, if she never falls in love with him, there's nothing wrong with it and nothing he can do. We believe they are endgame but I'm just saying that her choosing to stay with him can be for social reasons and not for love, and knowing the kind of person Pallavi is, sacrificial, morally upright (read mahaan), etc. there's a high probability she decides to live with him because they are legally married. She may or may not realize that her heart wants to be with him because she loves him and can't live without him, so she'll keep telling herself it's for social and legal reasons.
In short, even if Mandaar never appears, there's no guarantee that she will choose to stay with Raghav, or that if she does, it will be for love and not obligation/duty.
