I strongly feel that Pallavi has started falling in love.. she has gone past that ''feeling something'' phase and is now in the phase where she has started to acknowledge and accept that she is falling for him. Emotionally she has very much accepted him as her life partner.. he is the one she wants to spend the rest of her life with..he is the one with whom her happiness lies.. she has now started acknowledging that.. The scene where they are looking at each other, after they finish singing, the way she looks at him if that is not love I don't know what is..and at the pool side, it is crystal clear that she is very much aware of how and what she feels for him..and she loves the feeling of being in love..this would be her first time right? the feeling is so exhilarating. She has always been the one more aware of the two even before marriage.. now the way things stand, MU's out of the way, she knows him in and out, more than anyone I would say besides the obvious fact that he is quite a looker and being treated like a queen by someone like him? I mean why would she be in two minds about falling in love when she always felt somewhat attracted towards him before MUs blew up things between them..
Such a beautiful post! You've perfectly described her current state.
She has fallen in love with him, and some of it was evident in her outburst after she returned from the Ds, the way she was angry with him, for him, the way she refused to leave him, etc. I mean it seemed funny with the whole jhadoo scene but deep down she was exerting her rights on him already. She's not going anywhere but forward in this marriage and she wants to enjoy every bit of it.
@bold, that's how I read the scene too. She had said forlornly that she never got a chance to love Mandar, so Raghav is her first (and last) and she knows that with time he would indeed be a great life partner for her. She's always been a good judge of character so she feels secure in this regard. It helps a lot knowing his past that he'd never hurt her intentionally and would be very careful with how he treats this marriage going forward. Not many women have that assurance. She's been attracted to him overtly from the beginning and her reaction when he was hit by the car, the way she looked after him, etc. all those suppressed emotions have gradually built up and she's fallen for him. I am glad she's fine with acknowledging it, at least to herself. I have a feeling if there had been no misunderstandings and they had continued to run into each other and spend more time, she would have fallen for him anyway. His loneliness drew her to him, of course, but I also think it's the intensity with which he focused on her, like no one else has ever done.
Regarding his looks and pampering... I always say, there's so much role reversal on this show, it's quite interesting to see the FL fall for the looks and charm of the ML, while he falls for her personality/nature. Nothing wrong with it but yeah, she has always been attracted by his aura and sometimes I feel on some subconscious level wanting to prove that she was good enough for him whenever he taunted her for her lack of talent or business acumen. I expect to see that come out eventually. You know it's also refreshing to see that even with all that money, the things he does for her don't cost him anything (financially), but are rather an investment of his time and effort. He could buy her anything but neither is she interested, nor is he. Let's see if that changes with time.
