I completely agree. It's like, apart from occasional missteps, I don't feel like I'm watching something made up and contrived. Every character feels like a full fledged person, and it feels like I'm watching real people respond to real situations. The characters drive the plot, rather than the plot driving characters.

There's been so much criticism for lack of RaghVi scenes but I don't mind it. Less screenspace is okay, I do want to know about everyone else. I just wish that the scenes we were getting for them were a bit more satisfying. I didn't like the lollipop vibes in today's scene, it feels like it was written just because a romantic RaghVi scene was overdue for audience retention.

The dynamics have been so organic that's why I have never felt that we were lacking in romantic scenes. You can't run a show only on romance and unfortunately a vocal segment on SM pushes for such scenes which starts driving the writing. This is how you end up with a scene like todays - lollipops and pandering that take you out of the show for those few moments. This is why the Ayi Pallavi scene was probably the best show today rather than the random romance. It's best to leave the storytelling to the writers and directors while we sit back and enjoy the show.

With a show like this one - real people and their actions/reactions to situations and each other, the romance too will be realistically portrayed. RaghVi have only known each other for a few months, the romance will take time. This is why the shower, pool, and hair scenes worked so well. They were reactions to a situation or were callbacks to previous scenes. That is good writing.

This is what I love about the show! The characters and their dynamics with each other. It's like reading a book where you get to know the characters' thoughts. You rarely get that in movies and shows but this show actually tells you what a character is thinking either through monologue or them voicing their thoughts out. When you have well etched supporting characters, it takes the burden off the leads. I don't need to watch romance when I get to see some many different relationships unfolding before me.

Ayi has been Pallavi's main support and this is why I don't say anything against her. She has always shown genuine concern and affection for Pallavi. From the beginning, I could never understand why Pallavi was always Baba Baba Baba when it was Ayi and Kaka who were shown to be much closer to her.

I believe this relationship will survive the test of time albeit with a few hiccups. Like Ayi's apprehensions during the wedding track, she will have issues once Mandaar returns too. It's fine. It's a given. Her supposedly dead son has returned which makes Pallavi's marriage to RR void. Sharda is a mother who loves her son and his wife, she would want both of them back with her. However, after a while she will wake up and support Pallavi.

I absolutely agree with this. I am so glad I decided to give this show a try and I will say I am not disappointed so far.. because every character is so well written, episodes that are not lead centric are also equally good if not more because they don't act like fillers but actually contribute to the story progression..

I have been a huge advocate of Ayi and her bonding with Pallavi.. even when her act of sneakily erasing Pallavi's mehendi, raised a lot of eyebrows in the forum..I looked at it from a different perspective.. she is not perfect and she has limitations, married to someone like Vijay is actually ''kaato ki beriyan'' that Raghav talked about..but she does the best she can for Pallavi within those limitations.. Pallavi's baba chant maybe due to the fact that daughters are considered to be closer to their fathers.. she probably had that notion in her head and saw that come alive when she came to D family.. and baba was not exactly horrible to her up until Raghav's entry in their lives..

Even is Sharda has a moment of doubt, after Mandhar rises back from dead, like she had today when Pallavi was happily talking about her husband and MIL..she somberly said she had envisioned a similar life when Pallavi came to their house as their bahu but destiny had different plans.. so realistic it felt.. it natural to feel that way and I will not hold it against her if she has similar feelings later on.. I know in the long run, she will support Pallavi and Raghav..

I think raghav still feels pallu as his friend and companion with whoom he can share his pain and femotions he trusts her but not accepted fully her as his wife thats why today he is saying humare beech husband wife waala relation nahi haina aur kabi pallu ke taraf romantic move nahi kartha

Yeah. I noticed that too. When he heard that part about Savitri fought with Yamaraj for her husband he was interested. 😆

He can be such a kid sometimes. 😆

Why do I get the feeling he is the one who will bring his Savitri, i.e. Pallavi back from Yamraj? 😳

I'm really hoping for that too. Her standing for her daughter's happiness above all the complexities of the situation, and not pressuring her one way or the other. I'm hoping that the repeated emphasis on her being a mom is for that reason only, but obviously, a bit wary as well. Maybe they're saying it so much so that the flip to saas will hit harder? I so don't want that, but preparing myself.

I have feeling that either there will be a flip or she will be conflicted, which I understand but in the long run she will go back to supporting Pallavi, especially when she realizes her son isn't such a shareef bachcha after all or if she feels Pallavi's happiness actually lies with Raghav not her son.

Lol exactly. Inki pasand to koi telugu actress thi !! 🤣There must be a reason they are having Raghav behave this way for past few days?? Indifferent, rude and wanna say stuff but don't wanna offend people 😆 He is flip flopping between being a complete jackass to her and then saying things like " uska pehla vat savitri puja hai, mein use koi tension nahi dena chahta.." that statement made me put my chappal back in my feet.. He feels unworthy of her I get.. and he said that today but why make her feel unworthy of him ?

I am beginning to wonder if he realizes she has feelings for him and doesn't want to encourage her because he fears he can't live up to her expectations or doesn't deserve it or whatever.

I've been extremely back and forth on Sharda, but overall, I agree. Was there a lot of hue and cry over the mehndi erasing scene? I wasn't watching the show in a super committed way yet then.

Mujhe kuch problematic nahi laga. Sure, the symbolism can be dicey, but in that moment, it was exactly what any mom would have done. Raghav wasn't Pallavi's partner back then. Had he been, I don't think Sharda would have done that at all. Given the situation, where he was literally nothing but a thorn in Pallavi's side, I didn't find it inappropriate at all, and I didn't read much into it either.

My actual interpretation of it back then was how she's caught trying to smooth over tensions between child and husband, and is looking at short term solutions- removing the trigger rather than underlying issues- and that it was eventually going to blow up because so these trust issues can't be brushed off like this, and blow up it did.

Raghav seemed a bit bolder today walking towards Pallavi like that with intense gaze on her. I want more of this from Raghav because it’s more like him like RR. But this can only be seen if he starts to acknowledge his feelings for her.

Where Sharda is concerned I want her to not even have a confusion about standing with Pallavi because she sees evidently ki Pallavi is happy already and accepts Raghav as her husband and if she really claims to be Pallavi’s mother and actually feels that way then she should know her daughter’s feelings and should not even be confused as to whether Pallavi should come back.

She can be wistful ki kaash Pallavi ki shaadi nhi hoti and Mandar pehle wapas aa jaata but she should not be shown in confusion in regards to her daughter’s feelings if they intend to show her not as paltu aayi in the future.

@bold- you put this so well! This is exactly what's happening, and it's making me all 💔 because Pallavi doesn't deserve to be made to feel this way. And literally, usko khush karna kitna aasaan hai, that terrible sari made her so happy!! Kash self driven gesture hota 😭

You're right, the general berukhi is getting a bit much. We've never seen him be this unemotional before- kabhi gussa, kabhi nafrat, kabhi guilt, kabhi affection- koi na koi emotion he's always displayed. This sudden absence of it all is jarring, hope it's intentional too.

I think that's why the RaghVi scene didn't strike a chord for me at all today. It felt unearned, much like the kanghi scene. Illogical for the characters and the way they've been acting, but audience ko cute scene ka lollipop pakda do.

I don't think it's entirely intentional but maybe it is too in a way. His guilt is overpowering him and though he may not realize it, I see a cautious side in him when it comes to her. He doesn't want to lead her on whatsoever but a part of him can't resist the attraction. After a long time today we saw him walk up to her and stand so close, like he used to do in the earlier days when he wanted to read her eyes to understand what she was thinking. I think he wanted to do that too today.

I also wonder if his past bad experience with that girl is playing into it. He knows he has no reason to fear betrayal by Pallavi but perhaps he's afraid to make one wrong move that could upset this delicate balance that they are both maintaining? I'm speculating here, of course.
