This post is just to call out the hypocrisy of this world we live in and make a short comparison between the two third angle tracks - Mandar and Esha.
1. Pallavi was always transparent with Raghav and Amma about her equation with Mandar. Whereas Raghav did not clarify the fact that Esha still loves him. He also didn't tell Pallavi the entire truth of his past with Esha and she got to know through Esha.
2. Pallavi had a clear conscience in regard to Mandar's position in her life, he was the son of her Aai and Baba and she was helping them get his memories back. Whereas Raghav's stand looks conflicted, he smiles while reciting the shlok, he cries while hearing the recording and reacts so strongly to her presence.
3. Pallavi never led Mandar on and was very clear to him that she's helping him for the sake of humanity. She was Raghav's wife and she openly declared it to the world. Raghav on the other hand, is somewhere leading Esha on by taking care of her, staying in the room etc despite knowing she loves him.
4. Pallavi went with Mandar to the doctor for a whole day (broad daylight) and was questionned for being naive and stupid (I was among those who were pissed that day) but here Raghav is drinking with the ex and sleeping in the same room, sofa or not is unacceptable unless he planned to tell Pallavi the truth (which he's practically not capable of).
5. Pallavi never lied to him about anywhere she went or any interaction with Mandar. Raghav will lie after the kand (I can understand he was drugged but he somewhere will bring this on himself for drinking after promising Pallavi not to). He can never be honest with Pallavi because he's too afraid that she'll leave him.
My take:
Raghav has always hated cheaters toh when he gets up tomorrow (he doesn't know it's a trap), he will have done the same thing he hates. Will he come clean to Pallavi or continue his mountain of lies in the name of insecurities?
Pallavi should take a step back from this relationship. He will break her trust so badly (something she gave him much before her heart), he needs to literally grovel to get her back. Pallavi pls leave for your own self-respect. He needs to realise your value and stop taking your trust for granted. You can't continue to take the full ownership of this marriage when all Raghav does is lies to you, hurt you, insults you, shut you out and make you feel like an outsider.
My questions to the whole world,
Would Raghav have let this slide if it was Mandar and Pallavi in the same situation?
Will we call Raghav a two-timer and cheater and ask Pallavi to divorce him?
The genders here play a massive role in how one will react. A man always gets a free pass for cheating (emotional / physical all of it) but a woman is asked to prove her honor. I'm so done with this.
