Every episode makes me fall deeper in love with these two. As a couple, yes, but also as individuals. I'm regularly floored by the sheer intensity with which Raghav feels, and the extent of compassion and empathy that Pallavi is capable of. What beautiful people, inside out.
A slight tangential note- I like how the show is creating tension between the couple without it being one of their faults. The situation is a all sorts of tragic right now, but it's neither of their faults. They're both doing right by each other. I've said this on many threads, but I don't enjoy love stories where I'm clearly on one person's 'side' which always happens when the couple is constantly pitted against each other for the sake of drama- who's right, who's wrong, who's deserving/undeserving of the other, etc. I love this show's approach to angst
Frankly speaking, I find that it's lazy writing when they pit leads against one another. There are enough possibilities in the world for them to bring up external conflicts that affect a couple in different ways and can help explore their dynamics and character arcs just as well, if not better. There is no limit to how a couple can grow and how far they travel together, and again, as in real life, couples have to face obstacles and work through them together and grow closer to one another in the process.
