Haan Zasha, promise usne definitely toda hain. It's a double-edged sword the way I see it. We were discussing this earlier in the AT too. Raghav is scared of losing Pallavi because she is like the answer to all his prayers he never dared to make because he didn't think he deserved to. I understand that and I personally relate to it but in his process of keeping this a secret from Pallavi, he is setting her up for a much bigger pain which could happen in two ways: if she comes to know the truth from somewhere else, she'll be shattered (more because he didn't tell her the truth that she deserved to know).
On the other hand and hypothetically, even if she never learns the truth, yesterday's episode made it quite evident that Raghav will not able to behave as 'Pallavi's Raghav' as long as this secret and this guilt is eating him up. Sharada in the AT said that he feels tainted, and I agree. The tainted Raghav (physically/emotionally) can never be with Pallavi (whose heart and love for him is so pure). He is disgusted by himself. If this goes on for long where Raghav is unable to be himself, Pallavi is bound to feel heartbroken and question her place/worth in his life eventually. It happens.
It's so complicated and the more I think, the more I find myself wondering if what we're asking of Raghav that easy. How he redeems himself depends solely on how the truth comes out. If he decides to come clean with Pallavi (props to him if he does that), he'll still have an advantage of being truthful even when it's hard for him. If he doesn't, then I want him witness firsthand how his decisions break Pallavi and die everyday seeing her suffer (because her dialogues about loving him made it clear that she will suffer). I love them both so much, this one will be much harder for me to handle tbh but Raghav needs to learn the consequences of his short-sighted decision-making skills.
tl;dr version😆: Raghav needs to suffer. My heart breaks as I type this (I've always loved his character) but he needs to, and he suffers the most when his Saree Ka Dukaan is suffering, and nothing will make Pallavi suffer more than knowing Raghav not only failed to keep his promise but went on to lie straight to her face for days about something she deserved to know.
