Isn't Purab the Edward Ferrars here? - Page 2

the show's characters are quite confusing and mysterious!!

no one knows what will happen after what!! if we go by the book purab is supposed to be john maybe a ekta kapoor version of john and abhi is supposed to edward and suresh is colonel brandon

but this is how the characters from the book are...see how much can you relate

Edward Ferrars he is shy, kind, and retiring, preferring a quiet life to the distinction that his mother and sister wish for him. He and Elinor become attached early in the novel, since both are sensible and good-hearted. Edward develops a close relationship with Elinor while staying at Norland and ultimately marries her, after he is freed from a four-year secret engagement to Lucy Steele.

Colonel Brandon he is 35 and a former military officer who was stationed in India. His countenance is rather stern and grim, hiding his good heart; Elinor finds him good company, though Marianne considers him too dour and not nearly romantic enough to be suitable company.

John Willoughby

He's a real Casanova, and his charm works immediately on impressionable, romantic girls like Marianne. Even sensible Elinor is taken in by him for a while, which is really saying a lot. On the outside, he's everything Marianne dreams of - handsome, poetry-loving, musical, and supposedly rich. On the inside, though, he's riddled with problems, like debt, unfaithfulness, and general debauchery.

Suresh is brandon he has lots of similarities with brandon!!!

but purab an abhi is confusing 😕 abhi is not at all shy😆 and purab a casanova ?? i dont think so 🤔 and suresh also has some edward things as well 😕

I've read the book and he loses everything so that he get together with ellana, the only real connection this show has with the book is that they are 2 sisters and 1 is sensible than the other. Most of the characters are mixed up and in the book pragya and Suresh were not together at all, I find it disgusting that they will pair him with bulbul because she sees him as her jiju 🤢

😆

No Purab must be Mr. Willoughby.

Ekta said that she had changed the script so many times that SnS was left far behind.

I think she has retained some characters like Brandon and changed some completely like Edward as she wanted for the story.

So the book can't be taken as a base for the future story. She has incorporated some elements and left out some.

Purab is Mr. Willoughby (sp?), Suresh is Brandon and Abhi is Edwards. Like someone said, they mixed up a lil of all characters

Thanks to all who commented.

Actually thats Willoubhy not Edward. Willoughby is the one who 1st cheats on Brandon's sister and then falls in love with Marianne only to leave her.

Here they have split Willoughby into two characters: his personality & love for money is that of Abhi's while his loving & dumping females is that of Aakash's.

yeah sorry i forgot his name, Edward is Abhi

To those who say Purab is not Edward but rather Abhi is Edward and Purab is Willoughby, I can only repeat what others have already said in this thread. Ekta herself said the script went through changes and changes and it's only loosely based on the book.

If Abhi's storyline has similarities to Edward's then so does Purab's, just as both Abhi and Purab have some similarity with Willoughby.

My reason for making this topic wasn't necessarily to insist Purab is the Edward Ferrars character, but to point out how, in my opinion, it's pretty pointless to insist Abhi is Edward and Purab Willoughby. The show is really not any adaptation of the book, it's just that the book gave them ideas for characters, characteristics and storylines. But those characters, characteristics and storylines do not transfer or follow the same way as the novel, nor does it transfer onto specific "counterparts"

the only reason they say Abhi is Edward and Purab is Willoughby is their pairing with the sisters, but here Purab is more gud natured than Abhi, whereas in novel it is reverse
