I remember when they came back from D house after the big tamasha, he was like "why did you have to interfere? Mein aisa karta to aisa ho jata..tumhe tumhara family mil jata" that's how he functions.. he clearly had a blueprint in mind of how he is gonna go about completing the "one month challenge" and he was ready to do whatever it takes..But he was let off the hook rather easily in his eyes..not because he did anything out of the ordinary but because she is an extra ordinary human being who forgives easy even when he doesn't deserve it.. I guess that's why he hasn't had that closure yet..
Closure... that's what all this is about isn't it, for both of them? Neither has Raghav been able to tie loose ends and move ahead nor has she. This is probably what will happen during the Mandaar track, where Raghav will not only see the D-fam dynamics better but also realize that Pallavi genuinely is happier without them, hopefully with her articulating it.
He still hasn't absorbed the true meaning of what she meant when she chose him over them. It wasn't a sacrifice or the honorable thing to do, but it's because her heart wanted that. We as the audience see these two from 360 degrees, but they only see bits and pieces of each other. On top of that, they never truly tell each other how they feel. For example, when Pallavi returned from the Ds, sure she was angry with him, she told him she prioritized him, but in all this there was no mention of what she was feeling after severing those ties. She didn't go into the anger or hurt that she was feeling for her own self, even though it was clearly there. Her walking out of the house was as much for herself as for him, and to sever ties with a family who less than a month ago was the basis for her existence isn't something trivial. She just never talked to him about how she feels, and even if she did, he'd wallow in further guilt.
I believe Raghav's conscience is a heavyweight and his self-flagellation can cloud his judgement where his personal life is concerned. Farhad telling him that he was indeed as bad as people made him out to be can't have been easy but it was necessary for him to take drastic action.
While he needs Pallavi to forgive him, he also has to learn to forgive himself. That's the biggest challenge, actually.
