I’m thinking Mandar is just getting to Raghav’s head
And the ring scene most probably won’t be cut, it will probably be after the study when they go to their bedroom
pallavi is feeling uncomfortable with Mandar but we’ll have to deal with this cringeworthy situation for a little longer until she sees his true intentions
until then Raghav will be in turmoil
Obviously he should tell pallavi about the challenge but after all it’s a show, the second pallavi realizes what Mandar is up to this track will end
