The more they get serious, the more deal part will haunt him... I saw it that way..He reacted similarly when she chose to trust him before VD. That usne mere liye ye sab kiya lekin uske dukh ki wajah main khud hoon! Or maybe the thought that she did all of that, but I couldn't fulfill my promise even..

His own words to her at the mandap that this was a deal and that she shouldn't expect anything from it, are now back coming to haunt him. He is the one with the expectations and hates the word deal and all the connotations. He probably thinks she's still honoring her end of the bargain and doesn't want to see her in that position of 'majboori' again.

At first I thought he was in a sacrificial mode but then I realized that he was also just doing right by her. He forced her to marry him for his selfish reasons and now he's setting her free to undo that and ensure she goes to people who really love her, 'cause it's pretty clear to them both that the Ds are the last place she should be. He also realizes that the atmosphere at the Raos isn't exactly the best at the moment after all three of them exploded because of Sunny. He doesn't want her to once again end up entangled in solving his family problems like she used to do with the Ds.

He knows she's from that school of thought that takes marriage and relationships seriously. She will honor the commitment no matter what. A marriage has the emotional side and the more 'practical' side in terms of responsibilities to your spouse. I love it that while as a husband he is so focused on his responsibilities and commitment to her (even though he never explicitly said so), he wants her to only have to worry about the emotional part, i.e. be happy, enjoy the beauty and bliss marriage brings without being burdened by a sense of responsibility. That's why letting her go seems to him to be the right thing to do. Not sure if I'm explaining this the right way... sigh...

I got your point, and I agree. Letting her go was always going to have to be the last step of making things right.

The situation has become so very layered, finding the right words to discuss and describe it becomes a challenge sometimes. 😆

@bold- Pallavi hasn't reached that point yet. She'll stand up for others, but it's difficult for her to stand for herself. Even with Kirti, she defended Raghav, not herself, though she's fully blameless in the Sunny fiasco. I'd have liked a bit of 'What do you have to forgive me for, anyway? You should be the one asking for forgiveness', but like you said, it wasn't the time for that.

I love your take on the precap, and I agree. While they're on the right path, moving past what he's done to her is not going to be easy, and it's going to be exponentially tougher for him than it is for her, especially in light of all these wonderful surprises she's giving him. Add his guilt complex, it's going to haunt him for a long, long time.

I sometimes wonder whether it would be healthier for them to divorce, date, and remarry sometime in the future when they're both sure of wanting a life partner, and sure of their love for each other.

Yep the guilt complex is going to be tough. We've already seen how much he's suffered because of his guilt about the death of his father and brother, and to add this to it must be a big deal. People wanted the ML to repent, well here it is, in all its glory. He's also burning up and will rise from the ashes when the time comes.

@bold, earlier in the story maybe but not right now. They both are exactly where they need to be, can't stop thinking about each other and getting more and more involved in each other's lives, even the minutia. They have a soul connection and while Pallavi had never been eager to remarry, or Raghav to marry, now that they both are, I don't think they can live apart, not emotionally at least. Some time apart would be nice, maybe her going to Kolhapur or him walking away from all three ladies to process what he wants. He's pretty clear that he wants nothing more than to be her husband, to be accepted and prioritized. Raghav was born to be a husband (especially her husband) in terms of responsibilities, respect, and crazy love and Pallavi was born to be a soulmate, if that makes sense. They now have to journey to the achieve the rest, i.e. Raghav accepting that he can also be someone's soulmate and Pallavi that she can and will want to be a wife in the full sense.

Totally agree. My expectations are even higher now of what will happen when the floodgates open and these two no longer hold back from talking about their feelings for one another. I can't even imagine how beautiful it's going to. So glad that they will go with a different route than the typical ITV way.

The scene in KRPKAB where Dev tells Sonakshi he loves her in such a simple way is what makes it iconic.

I would rather see them avoid the typical I love you in this show and come up with something unique. I have faith in the writers. Also, can't wait to see Raghav get all romantic and how Pallavi responds, and vice versa.

If we can just get Raghav to flirt with Pallavi once, main sach mein mithayi baantungi 🤣

Glad you understood! Yes, it has become layered and I expect it to get even more complex in the coming months. Imagine, we are still just at the trust and acceptance stage, there's still the actual friendship, and then romantic/passionate phase. Uff!

He's too sanskaari as a husband. Pallavi will have to complain to him, like he did to her, that he never compliments her or flirts with her. Then he will oblige. 😆

@bold, absolutely loved it. Sonakshi - Naam bhi khoobsurat aur aap bhi..Dead in Dev-Sona world. But yeah, ab expectations high hai from Raghavi.

I haven't seen this show, but that line sounds freaking adorable. Gonna go hunt down this scene now.

Pallavi's accepted the marriage fully. In my view, she's where Raghav was the night he stopped her from going to Kohlapur- not yet driven by love, but completely willing to make this work. Raghav's moved on from that stage, and has a bit of a headstart on her. She's moving fast though, and I think she'll catch up soon.

God, I'm so happy about the move back. I really, truly, appreciate the content and even the aesthetics delivered to us despite major constraints, but I'm bored of this 1BHK apartment they're trying to pass as a mansion.

Not only will she move fast, I think she will overtake him and that would be refreshing. At some point she'll have to take the lead because he has so many hangups that may get in the way.

I like that we don't have a typical manic-pixie-dream-boy/girl dynamic in place. There's no demarcation of 'this is the damaged one' and 'this is the pure soul who'll heal the damaged one'. They have their own set of traumas and insecurities, and will both help each other heal and move on.

Lol, nope, you're not alone. But since everything today was executed and delivered so well, I can't really bring myself to be upset about it beyond it being a mild 'lol wtf?!?' moment. So I was kind of dreading today's episode because of how uncomfortable the situation made me, so I read all the spoilers before watching, so I was thus expecting the thaali kicking- which made me notice the lehrati hui zulfein 😆😆

Actually, the thaali kicking was a slight 'lol wtf?!?' moment too- how did she reach there without anyone noticing? Farhad ki bhaabhi ke andar sach mein bhoot chad gaya, which gave her special teleportation powers. Her gloves were off today though, which was great to see.

Hone do Mansi ko jal bhun ke raakh. That's what she deserves. We spoke about Amrutha yesterday, so I have to ask- what did you make of her attempt at intervention? A glimmer of innate goodness, or her old crush on Raghav, or something else altogether?

Right...The whole team, actors and creatives included did a lot of hard work on this episode and it showed so Im not gonna let my nitpicking come in the way of appreciating what has been an overall great episode from performance point of view and from the point of view of progress in Raghav and Pallavi's relationship. Honestly I was skeptical about how they are going to deal with the "hate marriage" , how will Pallavi be able to forgive Raghav ever after what he has done. We have seen hate marriages in the past and the redemption tracks have been awefully executed.. Here, the makers have been able to successfully convince the audience and justify Pallavi's change of heart for Raghav.. the redemption has been that good. What is commendable is that they didnt drag anything, otherwise its hard to believe how far both of them have come from where they started, in such a short span of time.

Yah, about Amrutha.. they have mellowed her down I feel..the way she was talking to Manasi the other day when she was cribbing about Rahul.. she was so sweet and sensible..I know Manasi is her sister but they never showed her empathise with anyone before even Manasi when her wedding got called off.. Yesterday, Vijay was being a complete jerk..so uncharacterestic of him..anyone in their right mind would find what he was doing wrong. And she doesnt hold any personal grudge against Raghav per se, if anything he was her crush..maybe that's why she couldn't hold back..
