Okay, I have a headache so if I don't make sense, excooj. (Warning: This is a rant 😆)
There was nothing good about today's epi. There, I said it. You can't expect me to enjoy the RaghVi scenes after Raghav feeding Esha. Amma and Keerthi being doubtful of Esha's intentions could have been done even without Raghav feeding her. They could've easily shown Esha pretending to collapse, Raghav bending down to feed her but Amma Rao taking the lota and saying "Main pilaata hain tu Pallavi ka fast khol woh subah se bhookhi hain". After that, Amma and Keerthi could've warned Pallavi about Esha. Literally everything else could've stayed the same as it is--tadka quotient intact, Amma-Keerthi sowing seeds of doubt in Pallavi and the scenes that followed after. What they did today--this is the kind of suspense you create when THE SHOW STARTS OFF AS A TRIANGLE WITH THREE LEADS, like about 10 other shows that are airing on ITV rn. Why don't they put Esha's face on the montage too? Does it even matter? LOL.
Yesterday's precap showed Raghav making a face after learning that the khichdi was made by Esha, please correct me if I'm wrong. I swear I replayed that scene just to make sure I didn't skip his reaction. There was nothing. Nada.
I thought they were trying to speed up this track, but do I have to believe these people can't pull it off without making Raghav so nonchalant about Esha's presence? These guys have done way harder things before. Up until yesterday, I was looking at this as him completely ignoring her existence but how are you okay having her khichdi boy, pray tell?
Sunny mixing nuts in the khichdi was such a typical kitchen politics move. Sulo needs to take lessons from Sunny. It's making me mad but I'll let it slip because they needed a strong motivation to promote Esha from being delulu to going full psycho-negative vamp. Creative liberty ftw.
I'm trying not to read too much into the precap because they're usually misleading (for better or for worse lol) but one thing that remains unchanged is Raghav feeding soup to Esha. Unless they literally edit it out of tomorrow's episode, I don't see that not happening, and I'm sorry, I don't care if Esha is dying of some terminal illness and it's her last wish to have Raghav feed her that last bowl of soup. I literally do. not. give. a. flying. fish.
If they're going for this angle where Raghav/Esha's secret comes out to Pallavi in the worst way possible, there are other ways to do it than butchering his character so bad that we can't connect or defend or sympathize with him. I loved Raghav's first redemption track because even though he had made mistakes, I could feel for both Raghav and Pallavi. Both were in different kinds of pains and it was b e a u t i f u l. I understand they want to show how real relationships are like, and I know at the end of the day, RaghVi is endgame (I guess lol) but they don't have to completely destroy everything they've worked on so far in the story in order to show the "harsh reality". I really appreciate that they want to bring some relevance by showing how messy love and marriages can be but at the same time, there's only so much I can take man. I watch ITV to de-stress and feel good; if I wanted to watch some super hard-hitting, extremely gritty entertainment I'd watch something else, not an ITV show.
My patience is wearing thin. If this whole thing goes south, I'd eventually have to stop watching just for my mental peace. I love RaghVi, I really do, and that's why I can't see them being completely ruined as characters and as a couple.
Ru!!!! Agree to everything you’ve written. After your “gentle” warning yesterday on the episode I decided to skip as the TORTURE of watching is 10x greater than reading…
So they keep harping this track is close to reality and all that. OK agreed that in real life there are EMA, ONS happening left right and center. But but no wife however good and sweet soul she is will bring her husband’s ex home and giver her food, clothing and shelter 🤷♀️🙄
And if R is so much in love with P and wants to be indifferent to E, why O why did he rush to give water to E??? Even if guilty it’s not like he is BOUND by some kind of contract with E🤦♀️🤦♀️
Yeh real life mein nahi hota likh ke le lo Sickku.
Having said all that I will continue to skip and watch the episodes 😂😂
