I thought I was crazy still liking him after hear about Anjali and him trying to use Rakhi! I don't know. part of me feels that there are always two side to a story, and Rakhi did not do a good job of listening to his side of things. A key thing in any relationship is proper communication. She was getting mad and yelling at him, but she never listened to what he said or let him speak. She said she gave him chances, but I don't really know if she did.
I think if his family was not so conservative, she would have married him because like you said, she was really in love with him. I don't think she still wanted to let him go today. That's why she even wanted to leave the swayamvar. She still is very attached to him and doesn't want to let go of her dream of wanting to be with him.
I think what she did was right though because his family is way too conservative for her, and they do not respect her well. When she went to their house, she was not even asked for a glass of water. She was treated like a doll on display, and everyone took a picture or autograph with her. That's not right. Plus, they were not willing to adjust even a little with her. They wanted her to completely change for them. Rakhi did not want to change herself that much for her husband and in laws.
