To everyone disliking Amaal, Baseer, et al…
I think Raghav was always made to be a patnivrata guy. He lives and dies for his family, and even his staff is like his extended family whom he cares a lot about. I have no doubt that the original promises he made Pallavi while proposing his marriage deal... he would've kept them all, even if she hadn't expected him to. The comfort, the respect, the luxuries... he would've given them all. Even during the marriage, he toned down his impatience and tried to be more respectful in his approach. When she fainted, he got worried immediately — even though the mms misunderstanding hadn't been solved — and cared for her like a hubby. When she had the pox, he did it again. Amma might've sent him there, but care and concern was his own, as well as the idea to start pressing her feet 😳
From day 1 of the marriage, he has been treating her with the respect of a wife. How can he not be patnivrata now, when the truth has been revealed? 😳
The guy is pure husband material, regardless of the circumstances in which he got married. He has always taken his relationships and the associated responsibilities seriously.
In this day and age of fragile relationships, people forget that romance or love alone is not enough to sustain a marriage. Being aware of your spouse's rights and your own responsibilities to them is just as important, if not more. And if you really love your spouse you would do everything for them with your whole heart and not because you feel obliged to.

Yes... I liked the fact that they are not forcing romance between Raghvi out of no where.. he still feels that she is his responsibility just as it happens in arranged marriage.. and he has to make her happy... Romance dheere dheere hojayega before 30 days...
This gives me such warm fuzzy feels 😍😍 CVs, you better do this right!
@bold, and this is the main point.
Marrying each other was not their choice but staying with each other should be. I want Raghav to tell her he loves her and will wait for her but won't hold her back out of obligation. He needs to let her feel 100% at ease with making the right decision for herself and for them. If he lets her go without expressing his feelings then her decision to go back to him will seem as if it's because she feels obliged to, not because she wants to be with him because she loves him back. I don't see her saying that I want to live with him because I love him, even if I know he doesn't love me back and is just doing his duty as a husband.
Ah, these two are so made for each other.
You write so well 👍 After some good shows in the. past like IPKKND & Rangrasiya, this is another show where I’m looking forward to how it goes. I’m really glad that for once we are getting a ML redemption track as well. And love hasn’t even started, that angst is going to be enjoyable. This is hopefully just the start of a good friendship, from where everything should rightfully start.

Yes yes yes! Love that about Raghav, he knows his responsibilities and always takes them seriously. I'm so sick and tired of MLs who claim to love their wives oh so much, but look on helplessly when these beloved wives are humiliated. When you love someone, how can you not stand for their rights? How can you not be their strength when they are in need of it? How are you to be relied upon as a husband, exactly? 🤔 It's frankly very pathetic and off-putting.
But here we have Raghav, and one of the first scenes we have of him is him taking responsibility for his staff, taking a stand for him. It attracted me to his character immediately. He is confident, self-sufficient and knows when to speak up. I'll take a Raghav Rao over any of those whimpering MLs! Heck, I'll take a Raghav Rao over anyone! ❤️
Please makers please, read this.

This is what we originally signed up for. The first promo showed that Pallavi is hesitent to re-marry. Why? Because she was afraid to lose her life-partner again. It was not because of soceity, but her ownself. I too feel that they didn't mourn which is why there are unresolved feelings in hearts of Aai, Baba and Pallavi. They need a closure to truly move on. Maybe they can show that Mandar had a mysterious accidental death say, he was killed in an accident (say, drunk and drive case) but police could not catch the culprit. Raghav then uses his resources to reach the real culprit and punish him/her (legally). This will give them a chance to mourn Mandar's death and finally get a closure. Only after that, Pallavi will become true Beti of VD and Sharda, and Pallavi will accept her marriage to Raghav whole-heartedly and then fall in love with him. Raghav may be her second husband, but he will be her love of life. Pallavi will choose him, not because they are married and Mandar was/is a bad guy who cheated on her, but because she will fall in love with him, regardless of Mandar. They both should accept each other with their past baggages and build a beautiful future together.
Jean, 🤗 why don't you write stories here? Please, do that if possible. You have amazing understanding of characters
@bold: This would be beautiful, I wish someone takes inspiration from this and decides to pen an ff, I'd love to read it
Jean, I second her, why don't you write us some stories? ❤️

I will see if I can write it, probably 4-5 chaps. Don't know you much I can do justice to it. But after my first OS has received so much love from all of you, I think I should attempt this. But mid-June me hi milega
Please makers please, read this.

Thank you for your kind words, dear. I don't know how to write stories, never tried it. I think I'm only fine with analysis, not with creative/imaginary stuff.
As for sharing with the makers, I've been thinking about it too. Perhaps letting them see our thought process would help them write more creative tracks, but I don't know how to do it. Also don't want to offend the team.
Sorry, I didn't mean to break anyone's heart. 😔 I was just presenting another perspective.
An absent Mandaar is more powerful and problematic than a present one because how can Raghav fight against memories? He's never even met the guy so he doesn't know what he's up against. Plus, the tragic way he died would always mean he's remembered fondly by everyone. From Pallavi's words it was clear that she put him on a pedestal, and that's going to be a tough act for Raghav to follow. It's easy for us to say she shouldn't compare the two men, but that's not normal. Pallavi has already been comparing the two subconsciously, and yesterday explicitly, which is perfectly understandable. That's going to hurt him eventually.
Even before Mandaar arrives though, I want Raghav to reflect on her widowhood and how she struggled after her Mandaar's death, not just in terms of social challenges but her emotional turmoil. We never get to see or hear about that because she bottles it all up, but I hope that Raghav will be the one to peel away the layers in his own way, without hurting her. It doesn't matter how strong you are as a person, but losing your spouse on your wedding day must be painful, especially if you've known him for a while and had a courtship period before the wedding. Raghav's courtship with Pallavi is after the wedding and as part of that he'll learn more about who she is as a person. Learning that she was a widow previously was an eye opener that there is much more to her than meets the eye. I know we complain about lack of character development in Pallavi, but frankly, this is probably the last major chance the writers have to reveal to us who she is, even if it's through Raghav's lens.
Perhaps Raghav bonding with Ayi or some of his words and actions will trigger conversations where she will reminisce about the times spent with her son and how much she misses him. I feel that just like Pallavi doesn't bring Mandaar up that much in front of D-fam so as not to hurt them, they've been doing the same so that she doesn't keep feeling sad. Something tells me they never mourned long enough because the need of the hour was to protect Pallavi and give her that assurance that she wasn't all alone. She in turn made them, especially Sanki and Ayi, feel as if she was there as Mandaar's better half and would do for them what he would have. That equation hadn't changed until Raghav came in and became the distraction that would force her to prioritize not just herself but now another family too, the Raos.
I really really want Mandaar to be a good guy through and through because it will make the story so much more powerful. That would mean Pallavi would choose Raghav not because Mandaar was a bad guy to be avoided but because Raghav with all his quirks and imperfections is her soulmate and the one for whom her heart beats. Raghav in turn will and should accept her as a complete package, with her past and her memories of Mandaar. He will have to respect that Mandaar would always be in her heart as a fond memory and that you cannot wipe memories away (without having amnesia).
very beautiful perspective and I would really love to see Mandar as a good person too. because like I always wished Raghav should be her first priority and by choice. Not by any other means. The depth of Mandar is there for all. For Aaayi, she will see the son in Raghav and baba too. They had a beautiful relationship and am glad Raghav is there to solve not just Pallavi's but theirs too.
Yes yes yes! Love that about Raghav, he knows his responsibilities and always takes them seriously. I'm so sick and tired of MLs who claim to love their wives oh so much, but look on helplessly when these beloved wives are humiliated. When you love someone, how can you not stand for their rights?

Like you, I also fell in love with his protectiveness over Harish and the way he didn't waste a second to find out who caused trouble for him and, by extension, for Keerti.
Don't even get me started on MLs... Suraj Rathi came close it but after a few years, the writers ran out of track options so they turned him blind for a bit.
Also, I know it's cliched but I believe a spouse should be your best friend and I see Raghav Rao as the kind of husband who would be your best friend above all else, always in your corner, always having your back. Most importantly, he would do this because he wants to, because he believes in it and he believes in the relationship, not because he has to.
I also want to stress again, that love may or may not be there but a sense of responsibility and respect for one another cannot be substituted by chocolate and flowers. I also loved the fact that Raghav admitted that he was trying those silly things to appease her because he didn't really understand what she needed or wanted, and now that he does, he'll change his approach. That humility and flexibility is a big quality. It also makes it realistic that our partners aren't perfect. As I said in another post, think of this as an arranged marriage, where the spouses don't know each other well and are trying to navigate this new phase in their lives. They are bound to make mistakes, but as long as they have the right intentions and spirit in mind, things will improve with time. That's what Raghav is trying to do. Sure, he's talking about a 30-day challenge, but deep down he's playing the long game, one milestone at a time. That shrewd businessman in him is very much alive but he's playing his cards cautiously now.
