Personally,I'd have liked if Mandar and Pallavi actually had a short term conjugal life. I mean, even if Mandaar is a grey character it wasn't necessary that he was a horrible husband(apna RR kaunsa white character hai but still he is husband goals plus Ashok seems like a good actor),and they could've shown bits and pieces of their married life in flashbacks.
Pallavi's despair and loneliness from losing her husband untimely, her immovable conviction towards D family as it binds her to the memories to her late husband and her gradually letting go of her past and accepting herself as Raghav's wife would've been a beautiful thing to watch.
In fact, the whole "she had no emotional connection with Mandar" kinda puts me off and makes me question her entire status as 'Pallavi Deshmukh'.
I agree with this, that showing them spending some time as a married couple would have made it interesting but I feel somewhere along the way they went from this being Pallavi's story (which is what it looked like in the initial promos) to Raghav's story a lot more. Dunno, just the feeling I have because even Mandaar is connected to Raghav. If it had just been about Mandaar turning up alive with Raghav not having any links to his past or death, it could have still been compelling storytelling because Raghav would feel like an outsider in the entire matter and his relationship with Pallavi would have been at risk.
I don't think they're saying she didn't have an emotional connection. She did, otherwise she wouldn't have made those promises to him to look after his family if anything happened to him. She gets attached to good people easily and it seems as if Mandaar encouraged her to follow her dreams, study further, etc. She just didn't have time to fall in love but she admired and respected him a lot. It's clearly visible in her eyes whenever she thinks of him. She had dreamt of building a life with him and that counts for something. Whether or not Mandaar would have been a good husband and life partner, no one knows but like you, I've said a few times that him doing shady stuff doesn't mean he would have been a bad to Pallavi. I see them as two separate things. Being raised by Sharda, I'm guessing he would have been well educated, well spoken, and a decent guy in terms of social behavior. As you mentioned, Raghav can be foul-mouthed and extremely arrogant, condescending, and ruthless with people, but he's the biggest mama's boy in Hyderabad and clearly was born to be a great husband. On the other hand, Sanki comes from a so-called 'shareef' background but look what kind of abusive father, husband, and brother he is.
Regarding Pallavi's status as a Deshmukh, I think they were trying to show how she latched on to it as her identity because as an orphan she wanted an anchor. Marrying Mandaar and finding his family gave her that. She didn't know the meaning of that kind of family until she started mixing with the Raos. You can see how these little moments with Amma are giving her a whole new appreciation for various forms of love, dedication to one's family, and being unconditionally supportive of your close ones. Often on ITV, the beauty of love and dedication to your spouse is seen through marriages of younger people but many times it's older couples who've been through thick and thin together who have the most beautiful stories to tell. Shame ITV doesn't focus on those gems.
When I think about how that rain and pakora scene was set up, Amma talking about Raghav's father wasn't just about her nostalgia or missing her beloved life partner. It was also shown as a contrast to the 'bond' that Sanki and Sharda have. Raghav grew up watching his father being a great husband and father, while Mandaar must have grown up seeing Sanki fall short in both roles most, if not all, the time. Although Sharda's husband is still alive and with her, he doesn't seem to have the respect, love, or concern for her that a life partner should, while Amma clearly had a full and happy life with Raghav's father, so much so that she still treasures those memories fondly and it fills her heart with love for her late husband over and over. I know we've been unhappy with how she treated Raghav all those years, but they didn't explore her side of the story. We got to see a little bit of it in the latest episode and it tells me that she lost a part of her when her soulmate died. Can't have been easy for her, she was widowed relatively young too. I want them to speak more of Raghav's father, I just want to know what kind of man he was. From what we've seen so far, Raghav gets his capacity for immense sacrifice from his father, and his ability to love and to feel so deeply from both his parents. ❤️

I feel like Mandar was having an affair with this ex best friend of Pallavi and maybe he married Pallavi unwillingly! So maybe that night he went to meet her???
Seems like Mandar was cheating on Pallavi? Definitely this untold past of Pallavi holds the key to many answers!
OMG if Mandaar was cheating on Pallavi this is really going to hurt her self-esteem as a woman. Already, Raghav doesn't pay attention to her in that regard and knowing that Mandaar didn't find her 'worthy' of his love or affection isn't going to be good for her. Damn... it's won't be her fault whatsoever but I can't see her taking this well. If it's true, then I don't want her to hide this from his parents, though. Let them know what kind of son they had, and let her move on fully from him.
Or perhaps, she's the one who had him killed for his betrayal? Would Raghav accept that? Actually, he's the only one who'd accept that, because being a don he'd understand. That would make the story a lot more interesting I think (though not for TRP aunties).

Story of pallavi ex and current mother in law
Sharda husband is alive but still their relationship is sour. She has no happy moments with him. Even being with her hubby she is lonely
Jaya husband is no more but still his memory make her happy. She doesn't feel lonely because she feels her husband presence in memories
Yep, there was an explicit reason for showing that scene between Amma and Pallavi, beyond just saas-bahu bonding.

The ladies are having all the fun, while Raghav is busy visiting dusty warehouses. 😆
She doesn't have to compete, she can join in too. Har roz Raghav Pallavi ko bar se utha kar bedroom mein leke jayega, aur phir uski kamar mein dard hone lagega. Phir Raghav hi uski lat chhudaane ke liye pareshaan hoga, aur khud bhi chhod dega.
I wouldn't mind seeing her become a female Devdas once she finds out about Raghav's connection with Mandaar and the fact that he hid things from, that fact that her entire view of Mandaar and the Deshmukhs was one big lie.
Raghav: Abhi abhi peena shuru kiya hai. Kyun peeta hai itna ke bardaasht hi na kar sake tum, Pallavi?
Pallavi, sitting at the bar: Kaun kambakht bardaash karne ko peeta hai? Mein to peeti hoon ke yahan par baith sakon, tumhe dekh sakoon, tumhe (aur tumhaari jhoot ko) bardaasht kar sakoon.
Behosh ho sakoon, Mandaar ko bhula sakoon, Deshmukhs ko bhula sakoon.
Lekin Raghav, yeh Deshmukhs ke kaand hain jo mujhe behosh bhi nahin khone dete! Kyun itna peena ke baad unke kaand mujhe satate hain din raat?
Kyun ghalati karta hai insaan? Kyun ek chutki sindoor ke badle itni badi sazaa milti hai, kyun... ke zindagi ke raaste alag ho jaaye?
Ek chala jaaye shaadi ke raaste aur dusra ... Ardhamainda?
Raghav: Yeh sab to out of syllabus hai, kuch samajh nahin aya... Pichchi ammayi.
🤣This is epic.
They have a lot in stock, don't worry. I bet Devyani was pretty too, seeing their track record at casting females in extra roles.
It makes sense I feel devyani was the death that happened before her marriage. Pallu got engage with Mandaar due to some circumstances. But Mnadaars one true love was devyani and he was forced by sanki buddha hence he ran away faked his death and is now living happily ever after away from that crazy D Fam 🤣🤣
