Portrayal of Raghav Rao and Inconsistencies - Page 7

Thank you for the tag Sonia, Most of the illogical scenes are bhool bhool for me😊

A shirtless R in P's company is justified due to the relationship between them. But other than that a No No for me. ITV is catering to the large teenage (??) female audience to garner more TRPs 👎🏼 by showing R shirtless.

BWA and R scene - I cringed and actually FFd the entire scene, the same way I do for Mandy scenes.

D house entry, P not recognizing R - I am a married woman but am yet to recognize my hubby by his touch or smell LOL. I am guessing R being nonchalant was shown in lightheartedness as you cannot have super hyper episodes. Already the Fire thing had happened.

All in all, I am not much perturbed by how the characters behave one day and certain way the next. We all react differently depending on the circumstances.

At the end of the day for me R and P are beautiful characters who are not perfect like the rest of us.

Peace :-)

Ana 🤗

I completely agree that in P's company the other day it was fine. We see that he sleeps shirtless so that also ok. But everytime??

Hahahaha... so true, it's too much to expect from P that she'll recognize Raghav from smell or touch. I guess that's what eyes are for! When she sees him, she'll know. Don't expect P to pay too much attention to a just walked in cook. Woh kaam BWA se Kara liya 🤢

I don't mind him underpalying it for Pallavi. But a little thought crossing his mind wondering about fire. May be it would have added more depth.

Perfect is boring and I am glad they have shades that I can write more and more about 😳

Shri thanks for your reply 🤗

Totally agree that objectification is in the minds of people. But visuals add to that mental picture and impact of images even if it's a subconscious consumption lasts longer. Thus, my point is when things go out of context it looses its essence.

I hope what you are saying about Sulo is true. Besides she commented on him as royalty even yesterday. So I doubt this will stop just yet.

I agree to what you mentioned about Raghav's sleeping pattern. I am not undermining his concern, definitely not. He made a clown out of himself when the idea struck him while he almost slipped down from stairs.

End of the day we know it's raghav and Pallavi together in this. She is his happiness and he is her anchor.

You people said it all.

Sulo ogling Raghav is nothing but sick. And this is objectifying the male lead.

I honestly didn't like the way Raghav has let Pallavi get rattled. To her, he is a third person in that attire and Pallavi getting uncomfortable is justifying. That's how any woman would react witnessing a stranger enter her personal space. It is anything but funny or cute. Raghav calling that cute is totally irritating. What would he do if somebody else was in his place? She carried the same emotions there. Again no amount of being her spouse will let that pass.

The problem is not about Raghav taking the chance, it is about Raghav letting Pallavi feel absurd. Uncomfortable means uncomfortable, there's no husband or stranger there; when she's not okay with it, he should step back. No matter how romantic anybody finds his actions to be, it does not appease me. It is far from romantic for me.

Abi even more disturbing is her surroundings right now. Its not a free spirited Pallavi of RR mansion. She has a psychopath keeping her under house arrest here. She very clearly told him that she is being mentally n emotionally tortured.

With one creep following her trail, she definitely going to be edgy n guarded. It's not the time for games!

LOL

You wrote so much in your coffee break girl

it was a large cup of coffee 🤣

I will try and respond to each of your thoughts. It doesn't matter if they are organized or not. This is not a college assignment or a work deliverable.

It's part of my IRL job to be as clear as possible in documents so disorganized writing triggers my OCD LOL.

Thanks, totally agree. I love Pakistani shows as well and have been very vocal in pointing out I would have loved MHRW as much even if they didn't show any explicit romantic scenes. What makes them different is their journey to love and the chemistry is an added bonus which I can accept without any complains.

Yup. P dramas tend to focus more on dialogue than anything else. You dissect so much from what the characters say and how they say it that you don't need physicality in scenes.

While you made relevant points (which made me REALLY think) and we may have to eventually agree to disagree - If you see our post we are not talking about the shirtless scenes when he is at home. What put us off was that he was shirtless in the D house (again it can be argued that he was inside the room) but what point I am trying to make here is whether this adds to the scene or is just a gimmick used by makers to appease the fandom. Again, pointing out that I watch Pakistani shows and you will rarely see such scenes but that doesn't dilute the impact of the scenes. His gym scene, his sleeping on bed shirtless is never an issue. I have never raised this point before because it made sense to me but the towel scene could have been a bathrobe coz he can come out of the bathroom in a robe and then gets the idea comes running down. Again one can argue the other side but you do get what I am trying to say. Out of context and repeated scenes bring down the beauty of it - I don't want to see a shirtless Raghav everyday.

I brought up his scenes at home - because in d house - that room is his temporary home. So it's kind of the same situation. When Sulo came in, he started to put on his shirt.

Sure, we don't need to see that. He didn't need to be shirtless for Sulo to even ogle him. She ogled him with clothes on too 🤣. I get what you're trying to say. But the whole purpose of this was a comedy scene, in a bigger way than when she first saw him, so to up the ante they made him shirtless in this scene as well. So technically it did add to the scene.

I don't think either of us have said anything about his unbuttoned shirts. That is his style and his comfort and so it is totally ok if he is comfortable showing that much skin. Similarly, I have no issues with Pallavi's deep neck blouse or see through sarees as long as she is comfortable.

I brought up the unbuttoned shirts topic probably bc of another comment. lol. But my whole point is, the opinion that they're objectifying him seems to based on the assumption that he's not comfortable being shirtless.

And that's where I disagree. IMO, the Raghav I've seen, seems fully comfortable being shirtless. Just like he's comfortable wearing a half buttoned shirt in his place of business. Just as he's comfortable wearing a lungi that bares his legs (wedding redo pics). We can't call out people (makers) for objectifying someone if that someone doesn't feel bad about it. There are people who are 100% comfortable in their body to bare as much as they do.

If him being shirtless, half dressed, etc., makes us uncomfortable, then that's on us. It doesn't necessarily mean he's being objectified. And until SKR comes out and says "Im uncomfortable with shirtless scenes" or "I actually don't like taking off my shirt", we can't just assume he is. (I bring up SKR because when we talk about Raghav being objectified, we're really talking about SKR being objectified.)

Again., as long as Amruta is comfortable in her clothes I don't think her clothes are something we should be pointing at.

Besides what Amruta wears is her comfort zone, the idea is not to flaunt. But with Raghav, it doesn't come across that way. This exhibitionism is when things goes OTT. Like while he was swimming, it fit the bill. Even then, the first thing he did was wear a robe the minute he stepped out. That seemed natural. We are not even pointing it when he is in bed and sleeping shirtless is his comfort zone. But beyond that, every single time and anywhere where the flaunt doesn't fit the script but is just a flashy glamour picture is where the problem start to arise.

We have never talked about his shirt buttons and don't think they can be classified as being objectified. And even when he tied up his lungi, it was very casual. When has the focus even been on his legs? (thank God for that, though!)

See, in MHN, they both were more age appropriate. He was more kind of smitten by her. He liked her and she did approve of her advances so it didn't strike me as inappropriate - if she didn't approve of his advances, it would have been called stalking which would be called out by me.

But, what's wrong with an older woman liking a younger man? They're both well over the age of consent/legal. The first time SRK saw Sush he was smitten - ok. But he didn't know her, he went purely off looks at that time. Can Sulo also not be smitten just on looks?

No she didn't but if he was walking around shirtless, doesn't give her the right to ogle him like she did.

Why do you think only if she touches him it is inappropriate? Keeping a bad eye on a person that makes the other person uncomfortable is also not right. If you remember the look, Mandar gave to Pallavi during Satyanarayan pooja during his confrontation with Raghav, when he said Pallavi ko main hi rakh leta hoon was so cheap while eating the sheera. So looks can make a person's skin crawl. Doesn't matter for a male or a female.

I never said only if she touches him do I consider it inappropriate. Yes, unwanted looks from someone can make a person's skin crawl if that person is worried/scared/disliking it. At most Raghav was weirded out by it, but he didn't feel the way Pallavi felt when Mandar would stare at her. These scenes had completely different tones.

Honestly, both Saishi didn't appeal to me or Soni when we first saw them and I have also mentioned this on the AT and not just saying this to justify my thoughts. I think what makes them attractive to us is their overall personality and not just how good looking they are (maybe this is just us?? We are wired differently). They make you fall in love with them for who they are. I don't think I view actors from the perspective of their body and hence this doesn't sit with me (same goes for Sonia).

Attraction is personal so I'm not going to comment on you or Soni specifically. But I think, in general, a lot of people do care about physical attraction. I pointed it out because I just don't think commenting about how we find someone physically attractive is wrong. Sulo did not actively hit on Raghav, nor did she tell him out right "Oh you're hot. I love that your shirtless" etc etc. Is the distinction that I'm trying to make clear?

If I saw someone hot at a restaurant, and I wanted his number, etc., of course I'd tell my friends (or to myself) "Damn, he's hot" but would I say that to his face? Not necessarily. Sulo didn't really say anything to Raghav directly. IDK maybe this is a cultural thing? (though I'm not sure where you guys are from).

Again, I don't think the clothes matter but being shirtless surely increases the possibility. Objectifying any person is wrong irrespective of how much clothing one has on but when he is shirtless, it will happen more than when is fully clothed (trying not to victim blame here - it is basically the mindset of the one ogling).

See, there is a difference between appreciating someone's beauty like - hey, this person is good looking vs ogling at someone who is shirtless - eyeing them top to bottom and saying this man is a HOT- TEA. Again, there are 2 aspects to objectifying - one how the person (R in this case) feels and the intent of the one ogling

Hot tea comment was for comedy - again - she didn't outrightly hit on him or do anything more than what anyone in general (check someone out up and down) does when they see someone attractive.

I think there's a fine line between being gross and not. And I think that line is just dependent upon your own comfort, morals, and background. To me, at most she just checked him out.

IMO it seems like it grosses everyone out just bc its Sulo. If Maansi did what she did, would everyone have the same objection? Idk, food for thought I guess.

Yes, we can let the moral implications go. Even if she was unmarried with no daughters, it would be uncalled for.

I agree it is one of the better shows out there and hence we do tend to hawa main filter a lot of things but at times it is important to discuss some topics which merit a discussion.

Brownfacing is an issue for sure but here in this context I think it was to keep his disguise, I don't think it was possible to make him fair and hence I let this slide - any other instance I would have clearly pointed it out.

I did not see any backlash about his brownfacing on this forum. If anything this is one of the many times it was done that it wasn't needed at all. His face is 75% covered, who's noticing his skin color?

They did rectify it eventually so I am fine with it (you cant change what is telecasted and viewed)

I completely disagree with this point as we don't go around making criticizing posts for every episode. We let slide a lot of things because this show overall is good and worthy of all the praise. But at the same time, it is important to raise issues because they bring about a change. Isn't it surprising that brownfacing and LGBTQ offensive content was not acceptable to you, similarly, the points we made were not acceptable to us. We are all different and have different perspectives. I do not agree that it is a TV show, move on, forget it or use the remote. Of course we have the discretion to do all that but if we can bring a change, then why not.

Right, we do all have different perspectives, and if you think it's objectifying - that's obviously fine, you're entitled to your opinion, of course. But IMO this differs a little bit from the brownfacing & LGBTQ offenses. Brownfacing/LGBTQ jokes are always going to be wrong.

I just think there's more grey area with the idea of objectifying someone. Are we basing our idea of objectifying on the fact that we're uncomfortable with it, or because they're uncomfortable with it?

You know I didn't want to bring this point as it may not go well with people who read but after seeing this post and the comments we received here, I realized one thing that people here are so afraid to point out things because it may "offend" someone - just see the disclaimers we got on this thread. Why will I judge someone who gives their opinions. We are here to debate, discuss and learn from each other's point of view. Another thing, I have been stalking the main forum for 3 odd months and rarely found a post where I feel like commenting. It is like people are no longer interested in having any serious conversations. All the posts I see are either BTS or ATs or overly critiquing posts (read P bashing but that is just my opinion)- no posts on symbolism, very few posts on appreciation and analysis of the episodes.

People use disclaimers bc although it's yours and Soni's thread but it's an open forum - people are going to comment on what they want. And disclaimers kind of hold off on the more aggressive commenters.

Specifically, hypers**uality of the entertainment business is so deeply ingrained into it and our societies that unfortunately, I don't foresee it ever really changing.

That being said, I have really loved the 50th AT so much because I crave to read analysis of the episodes because it gives you so much insight.

SEE this is what I was talking about. Why post a disclaimer if you are giving your opinions. The ones who are offended will be offended despite the disclaimer and ones who aren't don't care about it.

my reply in red

Probably this was a wrong post to bring this all up but it has all happened in flow. I won't apologize because I trust you are smart enough to realize I mean no offense to you in particular.

word. it's cool.

replied to some of the stuff in blue ^ lol we're gonna just have to agree to disagree but it was an interesting discussion 👍🏼

I was waiting for today’s episode to air before making comments here.

The makers are obviously exploring Sulochana's attraction to Swapnil, which is quite sickening.

Raghav is protective of his family, and his first thought should have been about Pallavi's safety, but he's preoccupied with his own concerns whether Pallavi will recognise him or not .

In tight situations like this, allies must be informed of every detail, but Pallavi has no idea her support is in the house, so what good is it?

We found Sulo's new attraction towards Swapnil hilarious 😂. It would not be funny if the genders were reversed without the same context and I read somewhere what if sanki or kaka gaze at Keerthi - that would be gross.

I replied something similar in the EDT. For humour to work the context and situation is important. It is not about ML being objectified, at least not here. If we can get a female character who is as larger than life and tedha as raghav it would be funny if kaka ogles at such a character. Say a bholi punjaban (she is a don from a movie fukrey) or from itv land say a Shivangi (naagin character played by mouni roy) had a sort of tashan equation with kaka. And we know the nagin or the don are so out of league of kaka, same way raghav is out of league for sulo. The people being gazed can finish the people with a click of a gun etc. the power disparity between the parties is so vast it is funny.

The humour in mhrw is derived from the situation here not because a man is being objectified - how will that be even funny.

Thanks for the tag Ren.

Thank you Soni for making a thread to discuss on some serious issues in the show.

1. I am a person who hates objectification of ML in every media. Even in this show, I was disappointed at over objectification of Raghav at some rare instances like pool scene (I hated that closeup shot they used to focus on his body).

But I don't have any issues with him being shirtless in RR mansion or having his top 3 shirt buttons open (it's a essence of his character IMO). But as you guys have mentioned yesterday's shirtless scene in D house was kinda overboard and it was out of scene.

2. I don't have any issues with Sulo crushing over SNS. Even middle aged people can have desires. But ogling him and his body in front of him and Pallavi and Mansi wasn't something I can accept. It was uncomfortable in some places.

If they wanted to bring a comic angle, they could have shown Sulo discussing about him to Mansi rather than she saying 'hot' to a stranger's face.

3. I would like to disagree with your opinion on Raghav day dreaming the next morning after having a difficult night. Being a person who prefers to sleep whenever I am having some stress or pressure, I find his mood completely acceptable. Him being all calm and flirty was okay IMO

4. About character inconsistency, not only Raghav most of the characters had inconsistency throughout the show. Writers are at fault for this. When bringing character development they failed to keep their original essence in many tracks. But as it's a fictional show and just a entertainment for me I am hawa mein filtering all of it as long as they don't butcher a character in every sense.

5. I second your opinion on why Pallavi didn't recognise Raghav. She is in a difficult phase in her life and how is she supposed to know that her husband is the one in disguise when he didn't give her any solid clues.

Thanks for the much needed post about male objectification. This was a glaring issue in my mind as well, me being mother of two growing boys myself , I would hate them to be objectified just as we dislike girls being used for that. I didn't speak much about it because with changing tracks and inconsistencies that you are rightfully observing, I am only sticking to do writeups on scenes that I really like and ignoring -hawa mein filtering others.

I have a brother at home, have had male friends and collegues and if one thing that I have observed it, men can become and feel very awkward when subjected to such unwarranted adulation. Just like we females do. As females we still may raise an objection but men sometimes fail to express how and what they feel. They simply hate it as much as we do.

About objectification

However the issue exists as you pointed out and this is a much needed discussion. RR/Sai Ketan being shirtless when he lived alone was different. Now he lives with mother , sister and wife. Now for him to roam about in towel was not in good taste. His shirtless avtaar should be limited to bedroom with Pallavi , or in gym.

Thats exactly how I felt. With other members in the family, female staff in the house, is it appropriate if they keep dropping Raghav's shirt every now and then?

With Sulo- what I did not understand is, someone knocked the door, RR knows there is majority womenfolk at Ds. Wouldnt it be more decent for him to cover up before Rama opened the door? This was the same RR who was annoyed with being trapped in ladies restroom even though he was only with Pallavi in the cubicle. I will give Sulo some grace point here because even though we all feel its yucky that she is ogling at a guy fit to be her son, she doesnt know that its Raghav, or the age of the cook they have hired. His getup makes him look older ....but still her blatant ogling and hot chai references were not funny , it was cringeworthy. Esp since we all know its Raghav. Imagine when Sulo comes to know its Raghav..it will be so embarrassing for Mansi, Amruta, Pallavi , Kaka, Raghav and her . I hope they don't overdo this..if it leads to Sulo urging Kaka to excerise and Kaka learning gymming from Swapnil it would be okay. Beyond that, I will need to FF it.

Thats where we said that D house in not Raghav's comfort zone. The last place on the earth he won't keep his guards up is D House especially now. So does that even make sense that he would be roaming shirtless? That house that 2 more young females barring Pallavi and Sulo! Will we be comfortable at such a scenario?

I also had found the Mandar massage distastefully picturized even if it was that neighbour Akka massaging. Not sure ,but just because the show has female audience and teenage audience, the makers are going overboard with the male torsos available for display and its tasteless. They could have shown the massage with shirt on, or limited it to the back. Anyway less said about it the better.

Mandar's massage scene was also distasteful coz we knew what were the intentions and what was going into that person's head! Its the intentions that makes it more cringeworthy! And then when he held that neighbour Akka's hand, it was disgusting. Coz we knew this is what he intended to do with Pallavi.

I will go a step further, and hope that they dont make Pallavi's sarees more transparent. Couple of her sarees recently I have not been liking because they were too transparent showing off her blouse through. I know we want to see Pallu's good figure , Shivangi has lovely figure but sarees can be classy without being too transparent. This is a form of objectification too, which they are doing within the boundary of her wardrobe.

I will agree and disagree to the same. Like Raghav also keeps a few buttons of his shirt open.

About Inconsistencies :

II personally do not like trigger happy Raghav who cannot do anything other than give empty threats of wanting to end it all with Mandar with a bullet. Thats the most helpless man I see. Not the don of Hyderabad, who could have used law and police to his advantage- Pallavi is still his legal wife and he has a right to be where she is. Also hiring detectives to put behind Sunny, Keerti and Mandar and finding out what they are upto . And if he wanted to meet Pallavi, all he had to do was to get Mandar kidnapped for a day. Simple. For the kind of things we saw him doing all these six months, him not doing any of the above but simple threatening his mother /wife that he will use his gun was like...dude....do you need a reboot or what. Just few weeks back this man was crying at the thought that he might have killed Mandar in the accident .

That crying was for an innocent man's blood and not the rage for a evil incarnate man who is tried to kill his own mother. But I agree his open threats are a bit too much. There are so many cues to finding out about Mandar. I wonder why they didn't show him doing that. Yea right, warna yeh bawarchi Raghav kahan se aata 🤔 Using police might have called for some media attention too which he didn't probably want. Because Pallavi is also involved here. But using detectives to get his job done is something he should have done.

He had tracked Sunny's phone earlier. Now he cannot tap Mandar's phone? Keerti's phone? Even after Pallavi told him that he pushed Aai from top and killed Devayani? He didnt use inspector Swami to dig up details? Audience would love the smart RR back! Not the one who just give empty threats!

I so wish we have him back 😵

And the morning scene- it was funny to me when people complained of lack of intensity and chemistry from Pallavi's side in the bedroom romance when she visited Raghav in bedroom in the morning. 🤣I am like she didn't leave her paralyzed Aai, dressed up as Amruta and come on sly to meet Raghav for bedroom romance .( facepalm) She came because she needed his strength, his warmth, his assurance , his protection. She came because he is her only goto person. She came because she belonged in the house now which she missed. Raghav tried to distract her with bedroom eyes and it was perfect from his side, the right thing to do for a moment and it worked, she turned to him like sunflower with a smile...temporarily forgetting her problems. But no way she was not there for a sexy hanky panky..her frame of mind would not be there.So what they portrayed with Pallavi not totally into it was apt. That is why this was different from the red saree photo shoot deckup time ..where both of them were in right spirit for romance.

There was a sword hanging on her head and we would expect her to think about romance 🤔Really? err... Okay... alright... logic on vacation! Pallavi is not a teenage girl sneaking out to meet her boyfriend in the middle of the night. She is a woman who had to take up a disguise to meet her own husband at her own house! How disturbing the whole thing is for her, can we not see? A woman under house arrest, facing mental and emotional torture... going through emotional and physical exhaution coz of mandar and the house chores should have romanace on her priority 🤪

Infact his mother and wife have used more sense.!! Mom arranged for Mandar to go away and wife used the opportunity to come meet him. Hope they show us more than eye and arm candy Raghav! When she was about to tell Raghav about what Mandar did the night before , he went trigger happy again..wanting to go shoot him. This over the top reaction will only cause Pallavi to not tell him stuff that might cause such reactions. He needs to hold it until she tells him everything and then , use strategies to either keep her in RR mansion , or send her to Ds with protection- new phone, gps with her permission, microphones so she can communicate with him. He runs a jewellery empire for god sake. He can easily plant people around D house for Pallavi's protection. Also he knows Amrutha is on Pallavi side . Would have been nice to see him teach Pallavi on how to use the gun, even with fake bullets, for a few times , so she can protect herself and keep Mandar at bay if needed. The best way to protect someone is to teach them how to protect themselves, and how to call for help when needed.

Yes Amma and Pallavi are more in control and think through unlike this guy who is getting very impulsive at the moment. I was disappointed when he was falling for Mandar's games too during the 7 day challenge thing. What was that selfie stunt? That was very immature. Don Raghav ka standard ich gira diya 🥺

Now that Raghav has donned Swapnil Avtaar , his urgency would be to tell Pallavi that he is there and she is not alone. But he chooses to rile her and enjoy the nok jhok audience enjoying it too. I guess its to give the drama element.

But it doesn't fit in place. In a way he is adding to her harassment.

Anyway, we all know both Raghav and Pallavi are smart people and script makes them dumb at times to elevate other characters. Hope they find a good balance here. Trying to find too much logic is a problem with ITV. Some episodes are meant as timepass and entertainment and we can overlook certain inconsistencies. As long as they are not prolonged and they don't make Raghav or Pallavi look too dumb. The mad rush for TRP and comparison with other shows ( most other shows have over the top characters, making fun of gay characters , meaningless rifts , khandani fights et- all I find MHRW still much much better than those) so some days they being these unexpected elements. But its fairplay in the world of TV.!!

Fingers crossed!

Eventually we all look for entertainment. But certain things I think should be called out. Atleast we can acknowledge whats ok and whats not.

Thanks for the revert and detailed analysis of the point 🤗

That has always been the storytelling style of Sandiip sickand. This is a masala show and the focus is always on that. There are no frequent deep conversations between RaghVi if you notice. I don’t ever remember saying ok i am in awe of raghvi’s conversation today or how maturely this situation was handled. Here a plot point is created, leads are separated but they somehow always remain bound to eo. Their love is such. That’s the usp of the show- its not a grim scene. The show is always high on adrenaline than on creating profound scenes. Hence the buildup of scenes is always like that. For ex. After the forced marriage the kangi scene was v badly placed, Pallu’s comfort in that scene was weird. Also she treating his finger and blowing air on it immediately after their forced marriage was too quick.

I feel seeing the history of the show, theres no point going into such detail because this show has many a times sacrificed on placement of scenes for sake of romance. Its about the perspective of the storyteller.

I have hardly seen ITV couples focussing on communications anyways. Masala and story styles are all fine but Raghvi has a journey that has by far been a rare portrayal on TV. I didn't fall for this show for the leads at the first go but the impeccable portrayal of characters and their beautiful journey. Layers in which the characters are imbedded. So thats what concerns me.

If a show has to sustain there is always going to be twists in the plots. But there has to be a line that needs to be drawn. I believe we must use the platform fairly for both appreciation and apprehensions. Baaki toh its all for the sake of fun and entertainment. But if we can guage things at deeper level and enhance our own understanding of people and situations in the process... it adds to the experience.

As Pallavi would say... Learning mind hai mera, jahan jo seekhne ko mile seekh leti hoon 😛😆

No offense intended…but do people have control over dreams???

He loves her dearly she doesn’t stay with him, they met only for a brief period so misses her and dreams of her…isn’t it logical…

And I also don’t expect Pallavi to recognize Raghav just with those touches when he is disguised beyond recognition…it doesn’t happen that way…

As far as Raghav’s expectations…probably coz of his deep love for her..but Rama, his house help reasoned it out for him and I don’t think he is holding it against her..he was desperate to reveal his identity to her, he could not, he thought she might recognize with his touch she didn’t so now he wants to take this opportunity to have some fun with her in his sasuraal…honestly I see the team doing a pretty good job with the past week’s episodes..their efforts shows , be it the pace, the character development or presentation…

And Sulochana ogling Swapnil, As of now it’s shown in a comical way to bring in the fun element..nothing serious, I don’t think we can compare it with Mandar ogling Pallavi…Sulo is indulging in harmless flirting but Mandar is psychotically obsessed..

Certainly people have no control over dreams but just his being too hazy I felt was out of his character. May be I am wrong there.

I thing is it has always been her who insisted that D house was her mayka and it was forced on him. According to me he has not entered his sasural. He has entered an enemy zone. You know the castle where the queen is captive and the king has entered to rescue her and kill the evil force. There is no fun in it. And honestly diluting it right after he enters, takes that seriousness away.

Sulo is indulging in harmless flirting, agreed. Just try with gender reversal. Say VD or Kaka flirting with Keerti and ogling at her like this. It wouldn't sit well with me then. So I didn't find this funny. But to each its own. 😛
