Jean...does this show have anything other than redeeming Raghav? I am so very disappointed. This is why I never watch hindi shows. I can't believe how a practical self made man is guilt tripped by the people around him who are nothing but big zeroes themselves.

I have only myself to blame for getting my hopes up that they'd find a smart and creative way to resolve this track.

There was no need to go to such an extreme and get Pallavi shot and that too in such a serious condition. If they wanted, they could have had them playing their mind games for a few weeks and let Raghav slowly realize things, but no, they have to push him into the abyss.

I know Sai will ace his scenes and it would be great to watch but I had so hoped for a different approach to this. I mean, they had foreshadowed all this before, when he was in the hospital or when he told her that if the storm were to be unleashed then she couldn't avert it even with her life. So there you go. Come to think of it, even Sai's BTS side profile from a few days go said be a storm or something. So I guess he was and now she's nearly fatally injured.

I feel bad for her and wish she didn't have to go down this path in the first place. The only thing that would redeem this is that when Pallavi wakes up/recovers, she severs ties with him. It doesn't make sense for her to be all-forgiving if indeed his stubbornness to play with fire is what eventually gets her shot. This would be a great reason for them to separate and may be rebuild their lives separately. He can start from scratch in a legal way and she can go build her own business independently.

Let's not forget the D-fam drama (crap) that's about to start now.

Isn't this same hoody.... With P on bed RR sitting beside her

May be RR hiding with P game still on... 2.0 may be not coming now now

This might be their plan to get revenge from the ACP. She's shot two innocent people already that we know of.

I've been wondering why Nikhil returned but it might be that this incident is what makes him turn against Raghav and become vengeful.

Main Raghav ka ek aur guilt trip nahee dekh sakti...

Shayad... Arnav and other gul heroes ka saara redemption RR se karvaa rahe hain...

ITV is not for me. Going back to my crime dramas.

You know what would make this show stand out at this point? If he didn't go on a guilt trip.

If he went into denial and refused to acknowledge what happened, refused to introspect and see where he went wrong. Then he would slowly go back to the point where he would lose his loved ones and only be left with money and that empty RR mansion, suffering in his loneliness and dealing with his inner demons, like we saw in episode one. Life would come full circle. His pride would finally be crushed and then he can see clearly what he needs to do for a proper, fresh start in life.

I don't think the writers have it in them to go with something like this but it would be far more effective for the story instead of what they are probably going to show now. It was executed well in the Hyderabad track. A redemption 2.0 might not have the same novelty factor. Last time he tried to redeem himself, it was limited in scope, it was about giving Pallavi back her family and making amends for hurting her. It wasn't about their future or about building a marriage together. Of course, they bonded organically with time but that wasn't his initial intent. Frankly, I don't want him to downgrade and start living a middle-class life as a knee-jerk reaction to all this because it would mean he still hasn't gotten the point. He needs to feel that desolation again for it to hit home, otherwise the next time there's a moral conflict, he will be back to his ways again.

Pallavi is not in hospital

Raghav is hiding her at somewhere else

May be declared she is no more and will fake mental illness

Laxmi will get expose

They won't whitewash raghav totally

It will happen track by track 😜

If they whitewash him overnight they will lose viewers. However, this has to be a trigger point (pun not intended) for him to really introspect, not just because of what Pallavi was trying to explain but because he needs to reconnect with that part of himself which was caring and affectionate and all about family. That's what needs to make the light bulb go on and get him to use his smartness to find a way to clean up his business methods and/or find another legal and safe way to follow his junoon of earning money.

Why do I feel like Sunny tipped off the ACP about Raghav dressing up as a customs officer? After the recent insults he's out to cause them real harm.

In a layman words... Samjhi nahi😕

You want a guilt trip Raghav or not ?

I just wanted them to have an ego clash and learn and understand things and come to a middle ground by going legal ways where lives are at stake

So was asking for a Raghav who can and want to introspect not drowning into guilt...

What I mean is that I'd like to see him descend further into darkness where no light from his family can reach him, because his actions drive everyone away. Then I want him to feel that loneliness once again that used to eat away at his insides all those years. He should remember why he used to long for them and how lucky he had been to get a second chance in life that he'd thrown away. Then should come not just guilt and remorse but the realization that if he truly wants to have both family and business he'll just need to strike the right balance and not destroy one at the expense of the other. It's all fine to say let him quit his business and live a simple life, but the fact is that being an entrepreneur is embedded in his soul. Once that is gone, he essence will truly be destroyed. So let him find the appropriate way to channel it so that he can feed both his family and his soul.
