TBH, I don't think the POVs are much different. Rather POV 2 is a more elaborated version of POV 1
Hai na?? Even I felt the same... But I posted it in two different points because POV 1 is being "used" as a counter to POV 2... but both are practically the same.
Ab in logon ko kaun samjhaye? 🤪
Yes, I can't blame an intoxicated man. But the fact is, when you know someone has been after you for a long time and is manipulative AF, you don't indulge in drinking game with them. There are other ways to showcase your superiority. What has happened here was sheer dumbness and nothing more. You were drunk and the other person took advantage - it's just a lame excuse in this particular case. It's like going into a Lion's den and then expecting it won't harm you.
No one is blaming Raghav for what happened after he was totally intoxicated. They are blaming him for what happened before and what is happening after that...
He didn't know at that point of time that Esha was after him. She confessed her feelings for him on that day while they were drinking but then went ahead with pretending to be happy for him when he replied that he and Pallavi love each other very much. My main grouse here is that just one day ago he was saying to Pallavi that Esha is a highly manipulative person and was asking Pallavi to stay away from her but the next day, he did not have any second thoughts on listening to Esha's sob story?
Plus he 'saved' Esha from her ex husband and brought her back to the hotel which she was forced to leave because he took her room by paying more money. But why did he have to share the room with her? He could (in fact, in my POV, he should) have given up the room to her and slept on the sofa outside.
And the biggest issue... The drinking challenge. Yes, he was feeling guilty about what happened with Esha, that she was forced to marry an abusive person to save him but taking up a drinking challenge? And that too when he knows that he can not handle drink AND the fact that just one day ago he himself had promised Pallavi to never touch alcohol?
Coming to him distancing himself from Pallavi, I understand his guilt and it's probably because he feels he isn't worthy of her, specially after this KAAND. But pushing your spouse is no excuse for that. I won't talk about Esha here because they are two different people and how Raghav deals with them is independent of their relation or any other external factor.
That's precisely why he was distancing himself from Pallavi... because he wasn't feeling worthy of her after this entire kaand.
But as you said, pushing is not an excuse. He could simply have made another excuse that he is tired or something but pushing her and that too twice or maybe thrice was too much.
But giving your enemy the upper hand, then misbehaving with your wife and then confiding in your sister - if you don't want to cheat her then tell her the truth. At this rate even if he scourges himself to atone for his misdeed it would practically mean no difference because getting involved with someone else, then letting her stay near you and pretending nothing ever happened will always be termed as cheatng. Not just emotionally but physically as well.
Exactly!! He revealed everything to Kirti but forbade her from telling anything to Pallavi. Initially, he was ready to reveal the truth to Pallavi but now, he has decided against it (although he is being a pendulum right now, kabhi bataunga kabhi nahi bataunga). Just because he is afraid that Pallavi will leave him after knowing the truth, he is hiding the entire thing (and if I may say, he is technically taking away her right of making decision regarding this).
He didn't want Esha to stay near him but here, the mahaanta of Pallavi came into play. Amrutha took Esha with her to the D-house and very conveniently, a tamasha was created twice and Amrutha even got injured the second time which led to Sulo telling Esha to leave and her manipulating Pallavi with her sob story to bring her to RR Mansion. But yes, here Raghav is meeting Esha behind Pallavi's back and both are pretending as if nothing happened... because Esha to kuch dino mein chali jayegi Hyderabad se (in RR's dreams of course because Madam to Mrs. RR banne ke irade se aayi hain) and Kirti Pallavi ko kuch bolegi nahi.
To everything done and dusted... 🤷♀️
No amount of justification can absolve him of what he has done unless and until he comes clean in front of Pallavi.
Exactly!!! No amount of justification can absolve him unless he comes clean in front of Pallavi. But I know, aisa kuch nahi dikhayenge ye log... He will be absolved of everything by the makers. They'd probably show that it was all Esha's trap for Raghav and nothing happened that night and the other things will probably be very conveniently brushed under the carpet.
For once I am wishing for the makers to surprise me and show a separation or a strong reaction of Pallavi when she gets to know the truth... But I am not expecting anything.
P.S. I gotta go now dear. We'll discuss on this more elaborately later.
Okay... 👍🏼
