Well there was no need for him to repeat it 😆

And the way he said it with so much ease.. i am pretty sure he compliments her ever so often offscreen

I'll share this here just cuz😆

I came across several folks saying P should walk out from this marriage and never forgive Raghav. While I understand where that thought is coming from (because that was my very first reaction pre-ONS episode, when I assumed R cheats on her voluntarily) I don't see how that will help the story. Isn't this a romantic drama series? Haven't we already established that RR and PRR are the only leads here? If Pallavi does walk out of this marriage, never forgives Raghav and moves on with her life, what will it mean for the show? The only ITV show that I can think of which ended in a similar manner is Ikyawann, and that wasn't because the ML cheated on her or anything but she had other reasons, and the show was FL-centric where the ML was just a plot device. I remember we were having this conversation earlier on what Pallavi should do. I have my own views and my own reasons for those (and I've shared them earlier) but what do you guys think? At the end of the day, this is a fictional show so keeping that in mind, how do you see this whole Pallavi-never-forgiving-Raghav thing?

I don’t condone cheating. But it’s not me here. It’s Pallavi. It’s Pallavi & Raghav. I’ve been saying the same thing again and again. This is their love story and it is a love story. It is meant to be about a supposed widow finding her love and happiness and marriage again. So no one else is coming for her. Nobody else better is coming to take her away on a white horse. It’s just them both for each other.

Now regarding the cheating, the act done and all that. The act is a huge blot on their relationship, no doubt about it. I’m going to take it right now as if it really happened, even though it breaks my heart.
Here I don’t think Raghav should be forgiven quickly or absolved of it because there were mistakes that led him there. Miscalculations maybe or men are fools situation but nonetheless mistakes happened and I’m not talking about Raghav’s ‘mistake ho gaya’.

Do I think Raghav deserves punishment? YES

Do I think Raghav is not worthy of redemption? NO

The way I see it is he needs to make himself worthy of redemption. I’m not negating his love, his commitment to the relationship, to the trust that he showed her, to the laying down of everything in front of her, ready to sacrifice his life, his pride for her. All are absolutely praiseworthy. But this situation is grave that it can make you question everything else or at least doubt. So I’m going with his emotions and intentions. And the fact that that this was not in his sober mind and intentional and repetitive.

It was never his intention to cheat on Pallavi. He himself has confessed that he thought it was Pallavi there, otherwise he wouldn’t have. We saw even when he was drunk that for him, it was Pallavi. His emotions are also clear here. Initially he was affected by Esha’s reentry but there was no confusion about his love. And that’s what makes me feel that if he suffers for his mistake or redeems himself ( if the stupid CVs give him a redemptive track ), then he is worthy of being redeemed. But that is all if Pallavi has it in her to forgive Raghav, to understand beyond the superficial and for her to have that trust that for Raghav, there’s nothing greater or more important than Pallavi.
Many might not be able to digest this, many might not be able to forgive. But here it’s Pallavi and Raghav and the life and the love that they have led so far.
I don’t want Pallavi to be mahaan. But if Pallavi forgives, she is mahaan but that should be something that she takes if that is what gives her happiness and peace.
And nobody can question that

Have I digressed?

At the e.o.d, it’s what Pallavi wants from this relationship. If it is Raghav, his love, his companionship, then even if it takes forever, she’ll find it in her heart to forgive him and stay. But if she is not at peace, she’ll leave. Though then I don’t know what the love story is and we’ll all have been sitting ducks in front of SS ministrations and he has royally taken us for a ride. And at this point on ITV, we have enough shows at around similar time slots to know what exactly constitutes cheating and what exactly deserves a moving on forward. I think every show is having this now.

Pallavi can leave and move forward and then there is no more a love story but even if she stays behind and forgives, I can find it in my heart to understand her and support her. And I would do that to any of my friends if I can see a similar story happening.

Long story short : Zasha’s explanation is what it is. The end game is Raghvi. So now the only thing is here is to wait it out and see how they handle this huge and horrible situation.

But for me the icing on the cake is if it turns out like how Gayu and Ren says : It’s a trap.

I’ll start dancing 😃

Bold : Liyah and I discussed same thing G,, that's actually happens in real too,, depends on individual's tolerance level.. for some a small mistake or lie can't be forgiven and for some a huge mistake is also forgivable,, its totally an individual's decision and even though we as third perspective find it wrong but in the end its their own relation and their own choices to make it work or not...

If every couple decides to separate when his/her partner cheated on him/her , whatever reason it may be - couldnt resist physical advances or got carried away , then I think every couple in the glamour world( bollywood/hollywood/tv industry) would have divorced their respective partners. I repeat there would be not marriages left in the showbiz.

I dont know much about it but the classic example is of Akshay Kumar. He had multiple affairs before and after marriage as well. But his wife is still holding on to him and they are going strong in their marriage. Its about an indivisual's choice to forgive/separate with their partners in case of cheating or infidelity.

If a woman wants to go separate ways after her partner cheating her, its her decision and she cannot be judged. If she wants to forgive him and start afresh even then its her decision and it does not equate with compromising on her self respect.

Judgemental society has no role to play in it.

This is more upsetting than anything yaar Ren. I've seen the amount of hate Pallavi got during the Mandar track but some people are just using this track to avenge Pallavi, without even bothering to stop and reflect on anything that's being shown. I'm not saying ke forgive Raghav or support/sympathize with him, but these people basically wrote him off the very moment he got emotional in front of Pallavi when disclosing his past--now whatever happens in the episodes, people simply go on to list more things to the "Raghav Rao's Crimes" files. How are they any different than the Pallavi haters then? I don't even feel like going to the MF on most days because it's changed so much.

Yes it's all about revenge or misplaced feminism.

Ru I'm thick skinned. I can literally read and ignore lol. I ain't wasting my time with people who want to rile people instead of wanting to have a healthy discussion. Upar se I'm really caught up with real world, the AT and this CC and not to forget the PMs. I ain't got time for such posts.

Is this Bandook ben ACP from our show? She looks very similar but I'm not sure🤔

Isme mereko recording wala nahi lag raha girls🤪

Because first thing, recording thing wala dusre videos mein bhi hai and he didn't mute them..

Second, see her expression- both were kinda serious when she asked him something and after his reply she was again happy and he too..

Ren, nowadays "feminism" has become a buzzword. Every girl/ woman tries to showcase herself as a feminist. Only few actually understand what it means to be a feminist.

They are more of pseudo feminists.
