I just got curious after Mandar’s half confession to Pallavi and with few unanswered questions of my own.. so I am trying to solve the enigma that Mandar deshmukh is…
so what we know so far about him…
short version-
he is 30 years old.. had an oppressive childhood courtesy to VD …he became enamored with Pallavi at some point.. stalked her, beaten every guy who tried to be around her… got his marriage fixed to Pallavi … they had normal courtship (over video calls and chats) … at some point Devyani got to know about his stalking rendezvous and tried to warn pallavi and got herself killed..
now since in show they did not elaborate let me try and reconstruct the scenario…
Mandar used to handle DSE and travel for the work .. so either Pallavi came for a college trip or something to hyderabad or he went kolhapur for some work and spotted Pallavi… immediately mesmerized by her beauty ( I so wish there were flashbacks.. I would love to see Pallavi in normal suits apart from sarees ) … started following her around.. gathered as much data about her as possible. came to know she was an orphan and crave for a family … meanwhile if he found any guy even talking about her , beat him up … one such fight might have been witnessed by Devyani…but she did not know who he was… then Mandar asked Aai to get his and Pallavi match fixed… aai agreed but on one condition that he will not meet her before marriage ( or he thought of pretending to be a good family guy to gain her favor)
their match has been proposed.. and they started talking the match hasn’t fixed or may be she said yes…At this point Devyani may have been out of station so when she came back and Pallavi showed her pictures of Mandar … she immediately got a flashback of the fight and thought of confronting the guy and clearing her doubt before destroying her friend’s fairyland…she called him up (or went with her family to hyderabad for some pre wedding ceremony)… asked him to meet her alone … when he came to meet her.. she confronted him and threatened him that she will not let her friend marry a devil like him and in a fit of anger he killed her… covered his tracks and went away.. the news of her bf demise broke her and she was very down.. using this Mandar might have tried to behave very supporting and somehow convinced her to get married asap so that she can have a change of the place that reminds her of her best friend..she being emotionally weak agreed plus She anyways grew fond of Aai… thus the wedding was rushed even before they got to know each other…
now coming to the post wedding events…
- he left her on the wedding night
why? he was so obsessed … did he really left to get bangles or for something else? or may be he pushed devyani off some cliff and got to know that she was alive … so went to finish the unfinished business or may be he is an accomplice of ved and went to help him in absconding…
- he got into an accident… admitted in a hospital by Raghav and was stable when left by Raghav…disappeared in morning…Raghav was lied to by the doctors
why? did he bribe the doctors to lie do that he can go and finish off devyani..or someone took him…
- he was found fallen from a great height and lost his memory remembering nothing but a name “Pallavi”
why? did while finishing off devyani he too fall ? in that case where is devyani? why her dead body wasn’t mentioned? or someone who took him from the hospital … drove all the way so far and threw him…
I tried to make sense of whatever information has been provided to us in the show? I am interested to see how writers will tie all loopholes and provide a concrete past of him…
update:
Mandar is not obsessed with Pallavi.. there is some other motive which is linked to Pallavi and yet to be revealed
he bought luxurious items including sports shoes, expensive phone and laptop
he is meeting to a mysterious biker guy who is blackmailing him for something and making him buy all this expensive stuff…
why is he blackmailing him?
update 2: the guy is blackmailing because he recorded his video of him pushing Aai…
and since writers decided to drop his whole storyline the whole plot went for toss.. and last is he is obsessed with Pallavi… and that’s the sole reason for his psychopath behavior…
