I am around, just been very low since the Tum hi ho scene. Also not liking seeing Raghav like this and the overall lack of character development is starting to drag the show down.
Oh no! Why are you disappointed? Its okay to feel that way! But i always try to advocate that Raghav NEEDS to tone down a little and show his softrr side for pallu to fall for him and for her to see he is more than his anger. Soon when he gets angry she will find it hawt. You wait and watch 🤣 raghav sacrificing himself is only for pallu but even then he is clearly not doing a good job still having outbursts at D clans stupidity and his anger and don avatar us clearly still there like with the lawyer. He is presenting his softer side only for pallu.
Not sure what they have in mind. I was also thinking that the vamp who cannot be named is either BWA or something/someone totally unexpected. Maybe Anjali?
Will haye bwa or her tramp daughters or anjali. None of them will be satisfying of a villain to me.
Previously, the Amma-Raghav reconciliation is the one that I most wanted to watch but I gave up on that with the change in actor and character. The tattoo on Amma's arm just felt very superficial to me. Why make show of having Raghav's name on there when she doesn't seem to have the warmth and care for him that he needs and deserves. I get her doing this for Keerti but just because Raghav followed her instructions, she's now ok with everything and decided to ink his name permanently on her wrist? Come on! Aisa conditional pyaar woh deserve nahin karta. He does so much for everybody, he is crazy about his family... what's this?
Totally agree! Amma and the tattoo scene in general was USELESS just to bring sunny into their lives and for them to start hating him to show keerti sunnys relationship whivh i personally am not loving sunnys charavter right now at all so i want better for keerti. Anyways yes amma was soo superficial here but she also showed clear care and concern during raghavs recent mirchi mishap. I think amma is just battling how to show her love and also her own pain with raghav from their past so i dont entirely haye her for her behavior. I just thought the tattoo was stupid.
I'll repost here the only thing that I liked in today's episode and frankly the only track that I have been looking forward to of late.
Raghav and Ayi scene... Very symbolic, easily the best part of the episode. 
She said she didn't want to cut the watermelon because it was a gesture from Pallavi, but probably also because it's he first (healthy) present from her damaad. The way she wanted him to be careful when jumping off the TV. Also, her delicately asking to use him as a human ladder to fix the clock.
Him fixing the clock = new time, new phase in their lives, Raghav removing what is not working/stalled in her life, especially. The way he stopped, gently held her hand and called her Ayi... I was so touched in that scene because of how simple it was. Something stirred in Ayi and Raghav both. We've never seen him share that warmth with his mother, and I really hope this is just the start.
Loveeee this! Totally agree i love the symbolism and agree that i want more of raghav ayi honestly. I could see raghav having a strong bond with her similar to how pallu makes her in laws her family, i could see raghav filling the void of mothers love through ayi and ayi doing same as she misses mandhar! When mandhar returns i could see sharda battling herself more here.
Milind thinks Ayi doesn't like Raghav, but he has no clue how wrong he is. I could see a lot of care in her eyes for Raghav, and how she deliberately asked him to do such as small thing for her to get a chance to build bridges, to reciprocate what he was trying to do and to give him a chance as well, in her own way. Otherwise, fixing a clock isn't mission critical that she can't wait till others return home. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but when Raghav called her Ayi, he really meant it, he had tears in his eyes and he reached out to her genuinely as one reaches out to his mother, not just because he's married to her daughter. I think he in turn also awakened the maternal feelings in her that she would have had for Mandaar and might in unexpected ways help heal her trauma of losing her young son like that.
Interesting how Raghav and Pallavi were bonding with their respective mothers. Frankly speaking, I am liking the cross dynamics and I prefer to see Raghav-Ayi and Pallavi-Amma interactions more than the other way around. I think after Raghav lets Sanki go, Ayi will warm up to him even more. I guess the next scene coming up is Raghav taking Pallavi to meet Ayi and reconcile genuinely but once again, the sad part is that only Raghav knows the value of all this, how important it is in the grand scheme of things. He's not just doing this for Pallavi but also because he wanted this for himself not long ago, to reconcile with Amma, something he has only done superficially. He has been there, and suffered for years, and I am sure no one except Farhad has any clue as to the loneliness eating him alive. I have a feeling Pallavi leaving will hurt him even more because for once he has started forming a bond with someone that is not based on conditions, whether or not he realizes it.
Beautiful point! Raghav knows the feeling and somewhere i also feel that his want to bring pallu back to her ayi and family is coming from his own pain which is where i WISH writers would focus more on! And exactly raghvi seperating will be key in raghav finally dealing with someone leaving him who he developed a natural bond with. 😳
