I'm really confused with the timeline of how everything happened.
THEORY TIME:
I THINK what happened was first - his dad & bro died - but his family begrudgingly stayed with him (retconning Amma) because he was still underage (17). He made a mistake but he most likely tried to move past it and be a good kid again.
He then went to college (how did they have money for college? I always assumed Raghav didn't go to college and worked his way up). This is where he meets Esha and she fills the void of having lost his family and his surviving family not being pleased with him. He is money-driven at this point - so like any other person who is not wealthy - he wanted to succeed in life and had big dreams etc. But Esha then leaves him because of his lack of money.. which then turned him into someone who was money-hungry. Because once again he is without something/someone because of his lack of money.
And THAT is when he starts to get back involved in gangs/dongiri/blackmarket/whatever he had to do to survive and earn cash quick.
By this time he's older so him reverting to doing all this, causes a bigger rift with him and Amma and this time Amma takes Keerti and leaves and doesn't come back. He's older now, so he can technically fend for himself and she's upset that he would resort to this lifestyle despite knowing what it cost him. He's too blinded by rage and hurt ego to think clearly and being money-hungry takes over his life.
And then we come full circle to 2020 Raghav.
KR still ruined his life because R's involvement with him caused his father + brother to die. This is why I had such a big issue with the dialogue they gave Raghav. He could've said all of what he said, just in a different way so it didn't so blatantly brush over all the other MAJOR hurt he experienced. But I already ranted too much about this 🤣.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
