Hello guys, since a few of you are friends of Reema's I am sure you guys will have an amazing discussion later but since I have not replied to this post yet I would like to add my 2 cents to a few things that stood out in the comments.
How can you call what Manvi did at the time of Virika's marriage just the part of an immature kid. Manvi is 21 years old, a graduate student. She does not have much of an excuse to be immature.
Second, if you recall today's episode, when Manvi was talking to Jeevika and Jeevika had the flashback of Viren telling her about Virat's feelings. It was clear at that point that whatever she was doing was much more than protecting her sister from her sasural, it was her possessiveness kicking in. She was watching her excited little sister and realized that someone else might get her love and she will no longer be the sole recipient of it. I thought that lost in thought Jeevika with the whole flashback was proof enough of Jeevika's possessiveness which stems from her love.
Third, we always say oh we will do this in this situation, why didn't she do this. Sorry to burst your bubble guys but we humans say one thing and do another. We say we will behave a certain way in a situation yet when the situation arises we behave completely different. I will use the example of the bystander effect. We normally say, oh a person got hurt how come no one helped them, if I was there I would definitely have helped. When the actual scenario plays out in front of us, it is a known fact that most of us would just stand there and watch because we would either not think straight or quickly enough and we will be waiting/expecting someone else to help out. Point is, if there are older sisters here, they may say right now they will not behave like Jeevika if they were in her place, but in real life if this happened, I am willing to bet my arms, legs, and eyes that they would behave exactly like Jeevika.
Anyways it's also true that Jeevika's character has been butchered and at times she does behave out of character. Hope cvs bring her back soon but otherwise I think her actions are justified.
