@bold, I totally get what you mean here, but then the questions that have been raised won't go away, right? Even if Abhishek survives, there will still be the question of how risky the business is and the methods that Raghav uses to avoid paying customs duty.
Unfortunately, he will be made to justify everything, there will be questions raised on his integrity, blah blah blah. As you said, he's never been showed as a saint and he himself said he wasn't interested in being mahaan. He redeemed himself for the wrongs he did to Pallavi but other than that his core is the same. It's not easy being the wife of such a person, I get that. If Pallavi can't accept his ways, I totally understand that, but then she also has to make that call as to how much she wants him to mend his ways in order to meet her expectations without making him lose himself.
Then again, when I think of the role reversal in this show, the ML is the one who has to prove his worth repeatedly and show that he's "good enough" to be her life partner. Kuch bhi.
If Raghav changes his business tactics because Abhishek's death reminds him of his past trauma and he feels strongly that he wants to avoid becoming like the very man (Krishna Rao) who made him who he is, then I get it. But changing himself just so that his wife won't leave him, is not acceptable. He may do that temporarily, but the next time a moral dilemma comes up, he's default to his natural instincts and the same issue will happen again. They both need to revisit what they want out of their relationship and if going their separate ways makes sense. Love isn't enough.
Also, it was Pallavi herself who told him not to bend so much that people break your or use you as a doormat. This should apply to this case too.
