Raghav storms into the room followed by Pallavi. He looks hurt at this moment. You think is it the insecurity again? Or the frustration? Or he’s angry with her? Raghav is like a child--he knows Pallavi will be there for him but he needs that reassurance from her that she will and forever be with him.
Pallavi notices this, and yet doesn’t straight away run to him to explain herself. You expect her to do that, after all she wasn’t oblivious to the fact that Raghav seemed affected all this while.
She instead sits there with her back to him, thinking, trying to register what just happened. Though as a viewer I am still confused, like Pallu you are the one who believes in conversations right. Go talk to him! Pallavi is thinking how should the matter be approached without making Raghav more hurt but more than that she wants to reassure herself that the return of Mandaar won't be affecting their relationship and marriage at all.
But as she gets up and start searching for their wedding picture frantically, the restlessness, and the way she holds it in her hands “Raghav ye wali photograph achi hai na, we should put it up there! Who pulled out the damn nail !” Pallu ,you did! - it’s at this moment it hits you. You realise that she’s the one who’s even more scared than Raghav🥺. Their wedding is no more a bad memory, because the fear of this marriage not existing is worse. And she will protect it at any cost now.@italics--so true--this is the perfect summation of both of their feelings. they will go lengths to not let the marriage break.
And the way Raghav joins in instantly, I go like- this seemingly tough guy, he just told Mandaar off so confidently but he’s subconsciously scared as well ! The fear of losing each other is real. the scared and the real feelings of him was reflected quite well---how they decide they should do a wedding photoshoot the next day--fill the room with wedding pictures--make sure that people know it's them who are married--who are in relationship not Pallavi and Mandaar
My heart went out to both of them at this moment. These two are people who have found love after years of hardships, literally no one can feel the fear of uncertainty more than they can! they have finally found their anchors and they dont want to let it go--Pallavi found a person who will be with her through both tough and happy times holding her hand, while Raghav found a person who would also be there for him through thick and thin--love him--something he has craved for.
This was the best scene from today’s episode for me! This was the scene which reinforced to the audience that their wish to be together, supersedes any other emotion. No anger, no jealousy, no family comes above it. That’s how much they love each other
yes--the whole scene was so well executed and written too--so kudos to both the directors and writers and of course actors too
Here both Raghav and Pallavi are trying to fight their own fears. Trying to tell themselves that nothing will happen to them, they are the husband and wife after all. They want to let everybody know that they are married, that Mandaar’s appearance is irrelevant. It’s like both of them subconsciously know at this point that this can lead to some serious trouble for them, yet they’re trying to convince their hearts that it won’t. This is what the fear was about. Fear of what Mandaar can really do! Yes--they know deep in their hearts that Mandaar would be posing a big problem in their marriage.
And then the superhero entry of the day- Amma Rao ! I am so proud of my siggy today. Yo ! check it out againI just checked it out--Amma of the forum--congratulations
Bestest ITV MIL ever! Like seriously, has any character on itv ever talked this much sense? And here it’s coming from a MIL ! Okay I won’t make you imagine what all could have happened here had it been a different show. Thank youuu Sickuuu, Dil se
So Amma basically told them that nothing can harm their marriage if they trust each other and deal with this together. Amma--the whole five minutes of her explaining RaghVi how the marriage works was pure gem--she literally gave them the confidence and bridged the way so that they could confess to each other. Yeah--she is the best MIL ever--so calm and composed--making her son and bahu understand and calming them.
Raghav seems to grasp it better here, but he was already the calmer one right! Pallavi is still scared. She tells him exactly that. And the way Raghav is all concerned, like mai hoon na, I won’t let anything happen to us.
But before he can say it she goes on to assure him that he will always be the one for her, no matter what. Amma’s words definitely worked on Pallu as well. She understands that more than anything else, she will need Raghav’s trust through all this, so she goes on to explain why he’s so special to her. “Nobody can ever take your place in my life”- she puts his earlier worries to rest. “Nobody can take me away from you, not even I, myself !” -Her words of reassurance to him
Pallavi has ample of words in her dictionary, she’s the more expressive one after all. She’s fearless when it comes to love.
Pallavi has so beautifully told Raghav the importance he holds for her in her life--writers a job well done again--Pallavi's words were what Raghav needed to assure himself that Pallavi will always be there with him and the fact that even if she wants she cannot separate herself from him is like cherry on a cake. and Pallavi's confession was something she would definitely say---it was not random--the words woven beautifully.
But Raghav is not. He’s a man of few words and it’s so evident when he doesn’t beat around the bush and straight away jumps to the word ‘pyaar’. He interrupts her when she’s about to say that she didn’t know even she can be that special- “Pyaar krna tumne mujhe sikhaya hai Pallavi. You are the reason I live” - why would you even think you won’t be special to me!
“I just want to say that I love you, Pallavi” - it was him telling her that I don’t have enough words to let you know all what I am feeling right now, but I sure have more than enough reasons to fight for you. I am not letting anybody take you away from me. His words of assurance to her
Raghav again has confessed his love in RR style--straighforward and yes not beating around the bush. It was earnest and heartfelt and he also told what changes Pallavi brought in his life. his lines were said so much even in simple and short sentences.
So it was not a confession of love, they already knew it. It was the much needed reaffirmation which they needed today to fight all battles coming their way. And was it beautiful! 💯 The most realistic and beautiful on ITV ever!
And the hug , the relief that takes them over. The tears which flow. The way he tries to hold her even closer. I will be honest I wasn’t smiling at this point while watching the episode. I was trying keenly to make sense of what actually was going on in their mind. But then I realised let’s just focus on this moment they are having for a second.
My mind rushed back at a supersonic speed to the scene from the very first episode, where they both were sitting alone, sad and staring into the oblivion. Right from that moment I have wanted nothing more than to see them happy and together. And there it was in front of us today! That’s when I smiled.
today's episode was literally one of the best episodes of MHRW--well executed scene, dialogues by every single actor throughout the episode.
Parul you have written this so beautifully that I am again immersed in RaghVi land
the hug--it was bone crushing--the tight hold they had on each other--way Pallavi caressed his hair and Raghav nuzzled his head into her shoulder and neck--it was all they needed--they would be there for each other throughout the whole ordeal
