I think the writers are trying to bring into notice the alchoholism in the itv shows via Pallavi. Yes they can do it a bit subtly but as we know unfortunately it is something that is injurious to health and should be done in a limit. If they pursue with this thought and concept i think it can bring out a good message for the audience. But the thing is that writers always end up taking things as extreme so i have no hope.
But it is obvious that his reports might be a bit concerning but i don't think Pallavi is gonna get really harsh on this topic. She's just trying to reduce the intake, hence the dialogue in today's episode where she says that he can have a drink or two while she sips on her green tea.
The comparitive on one small drink vs a whole bottle of liquor.
I don't think any of the topics Pallavi raised (illegal business, alcoholism, his rude behavior with others) is a problem. In fact, I'm happy they are actively calling this out in the show and it needs to be done. A constantly drunk ML isn't romantic or cool and neither is an FL/spouse who has to put up with it blindly in the name of love or dedication to her husband.
While she wants him to do things in moderation, her approach is anything but moderate and this is what is bothersome. Even the way she took his money away was extreme. It left him humiliated and her not considering that was also not good. It's very much in character but then again the writers are deliberately making her OTT. They have for a long time. Is it because they feel that being bold means being OTT? Because when it comes to Raghav they write subtle actions and dialogues, which means they know how to do it.
Yesterday, there were dialogues about him being a project. Why? Because the writers wanted to highlight this and it's definitely going somewhere. We will see that loop being closed too, because his question about her accepting him needs to be answered by the writers somewhere. At least, I hope it will be or it seems lopsided.
