|| Raghav - Journey of a broken man ||
Raghav - the male lead is a very layered character. When the viewers were introduced to him, he was shown as an ruthless, arrogant and rude playboy who doesn’t care for anyone or anything and is super confident that money buys anyone and anything.
In Sanskrit, the literal translation of the name Raghav is Ocean. And that is what Raghav as a character is here - A ocean which hides innumerable secrets among its depths, which looks tranquil on the surface though there are strong undercurrents raging inside.
Raghav, a happy go lucky teenager who had seen love at the finest and purest form is forced to be away from his family for one small mistake of his much like the prince who is cursed to be a beast in the Disney’s animated “Beauty and the Beast”. The beast has a golden heart but unfortunately that is bruised and broken into pieces with the hardships faced by the young Raghav and now he has learned how to be self-sufficient and be shrewd, calculative to survive in the big bad world.
The typical Alpha male - Raghav can take on anyone in fights. He possesses brute strength and the devil may care attitude which has helped him win many fights. Though a loner he is fiercely loyal to his men and that is why he shares a beautiful bond with Farhad, Harish and others who work for him.
The one strange twist of fate brings Raghav face to face to the one girl who has the guts to stand up to him. Raghav enjoys the battle of wits with the girl who is equally protective of her family and doesn’t hesitate to pay back Raghav in the small coin.
Challenging Pallavi brings immense enjoyment to Raghav as he enjoys her never-say-never attitude. Raghav can’t believe someone can go to this extent for their family. Raghav is a fair person and he doesn’t hesitate to acknowledge the inner strength, beauty and goodness of the petite, demure Ms.Deshmukh.
The first seeds of love and attraction start for Raghav when he takes help of Pallavi to solve the mystery of Lion who is his arch-nemesis Ved. When Pallavi tends to an injured Raghav even after their tiff and fight, Raghav falls for her goodness.
The new budding love would probably have found its wings if fate in the form of Sulochana didn’t intervene and drag Raghav’s and Pallavi’s name in the horrible abortion scandal. Raghav is someone who fights for the truth and he doesn’t hesitate to bring the actual culprit out. Raghav for all the shrewdness he possesses, doesn’t know how to tactfully take care of problems and deal with emotional manipulations which time and again proves to be his weakness and his Achilles heel. He has good intentions at heart but because of his brash and bratty attitude he ends up causing destruction.
The same twist of fate makes Pallavi homeless and Raghav is forced to get married to the girl due to his mother’s insistence. When Pallavi comes into Raghav’s life both are forced to be together and staying together helps them understand each other better.
Raghav realizes that Pallavi was not at fault and that makes Raghav overwhelmed and guilty. Raghav strives to make things correct for Pallavi and therein you get the beautiful redemption that is very rarely seen on Indian Television.
This is just like the part where Belle realizes that the Beast is indeed a beautiful person inside. Pallavi sees the good heart Raghav possesses and stands by him during his difficult times.
The trust Pallavi shows on Raghav helps him to unload his deepest fears and his past for which he has been paying the punishment for the past 10 years. Just like a soothing balm to an aching heart, Pallavi heals his pain and gives him the greatest gift he ever wished for - the forgiveness from his mother for his mistake. Raghav is someone who does not hesitate to correct his mistakes and that is why he tries to set Pallavi free. That is the beauty of Raghav’s character - He doesn’t force his will on anyone, He loves deeply but he struggles with his insecurities to claim what is his.
Raghav is an enigma - What he says vs what he does vs what he feels are all different. He is someone who is fair but he doesn’t mind using crooked ways to win his battles. He is an alpha male and he can die to protect his family. He loves deeply and he values consent in the relationship. He can give the whole world up in exchange for his family. He hates being lonely, he hates being alone. He has a golden heart that is shielded deep within and that is why the world sees the arrogant and rude person he projects. Only Pallavi can see his inner strength and his love and that is why she is able to bring out the true nature in front of his family. With Pallavi, Raghav starts to live the life he always desired but could never wish for himself.
There is a saying - When you meet your soulmate, the hearts merge and the cracks fill up and together you become one. The journey of Raghav from a broken guy to being together with his love of life - Pallavi has been a beautiful and poignant journey. The new love will be forced to face hurdles and will have their own trials and tribulations but they will come out stronger through all the difficulties. Like a Diamond in the rough, their love will be put to pressure but like they say pressure makes the diamond stronger.
