First of all I would lyk to say that you are free to agree or disagree with me. This topic is more of a healthy debate and I guess everyone will perceive it differently.
Now, a lot of people think that the storyline is 'terrible', everyone is sad that ArMan are no more together, which means no more scenes, no honeymoon. (I guess everyone was most excited about it.) But if you look at it from another angle, the story has come back to its former theme, and I realised it in the last 10 mins of shouting by Sulochana in todays episode.
It brought to my mind the fact that people assume that if an illiterate, not so rich mechanic with a rowdy family gets to marry a wonderful girl, they always assume that there must be some 'majboori' or 'chaal' or saazish. No one thinks that he may actually be the prince charming one has always dreamt of... even if he is destiny's doormat. Today Archu's family easily agreed that it was manav who had fooled them all, they could not believe that it was fate which led to manav being there for archu at the right time every time and saving her.
This is where the serial had started from, remember??? The search of a mother for a perfect guy for her daughter. He is illiterate, simple, has a humble living and monstrous family members. So what is it that makes him perfect- his character and his selfless love for his wife.
And that is what Manav will prove now, in these days of separation. 'Pavitra Rishta', don't you get it? The title song- Manav being there for Archana in every of her problems even if she may not realise it. It is easy to love a person when you get reciprocated with the same. But it is very difficult to love and be there always for someone who absolutely despises you cos of a broken heart, wanting absolutely nothing in return. I guess when the misunderstanding clears up, that will be the moral in the end. That he is the perfect match for her, for any girl. (Now I really hope and pray that creatives show this track properly and make sulochana admit it in front of Manav, what a scene that would be).
In all this, Archana's chaacter is really facing a lot of hatred. (even I hate her for making manav cry). But considering the turn of events, the events which led to her marrying manav, the proofs, (you have to admit they were pretty good. Ajit DID plan everything well. Plus Manav had lied to her at times.) her own gullible nature, (its just a month into their marriage) her heartache, we might as well side with her. Plus there's a little secret that's not so hidden. She loves manav. Even if there are misunderstandings she cannot start hating him in a moment. She's just disappointed by him. She might be hurt now but she's not a rock which won't melt when she sees manav's selfless love, and he helping her in all aspects of her life. (Allright I hope they don't stretch it to 'life', a couple of weeks is okay)
Aasmaan mein jab tak sitare rahenge
Hum ek doosre ke... sahare rahenge...!
Remember, there was a spoiler earlier that Manav and Archana will be support systems for each other and that will be their pavitra rishta. So we hv a husband who is a knight in shining armour with absolutely no expectations in return and a wife who has been betrayed and hurt by her husband (that's what she thinks) and still be there for each other. Supercool! a story never seen before on Indian TV. (But the creatives really need to take it very carefully from here... I guess Archana will help Manav being in the background and not coming forward) Their undying and unselfish love will be the crux of the show.
Nazdeekiyan ya ho duriyan,
Bas pyaar hi rahega darmiyan...
Sulochana hitting Manav, very sad, but understandable, she's a mother, and she thinks her daughter has been cheaten on more than one occasion by a cheap, characterless illiterate pimp who tried to dishonour her daughter and runied her marriage and future. (I'm surprised she didn't kill him)
Was disappointed by Varsha, she knows half the story, couldnt she have put one and one together? Urgh... where did you leave your brains dear girl...???
About the rest of the family members now... what to say... they all think alike and say alike... and that is...nothing... especially when sulochana does all the talking... and shouting.
About the so called love triangle, not interested at all!! 😡
I guess it all just boils down to 'God helps those who help themselves'. Ganpati Bappa brought them together when neither of them had any hopes of love. Now it is upto them to they keep up the pavitra rishta they are in. Guide them bappa!!
To sum it all up, I hate to see Manav in tears, I hate archana not trusting manav, I hate it that their honeymoon got cancelled, I hate to think of all the sadness to come, and finally, I hope Ajit gets gobbled up by bears!!
But at the same time, I am happy coz the theme of the show is back. I for one, hv always loved the show for the story and not merely for ArMan scenes (Of course that's a huge plus point). When the whole 'gold digger savita' track was one, I was disappointed cos it was turning into a typical kitchen politics saga, but now when I think about the future track and the meaningful story ahead... I"m happy....!!! So much like Amar Prem.... I always thought why such excellent stories weren't made any more... (If u haven't seen it, rush to see this classic film..)
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.... these adverse circumstances will show how strong their bond can get, if it really is a pavitra rishta.
And the misunderstanding will clear up eventually, how long can they stretch it... the guy playing Ajit will get frustrated cos he won't get any footage otherwise.
The optimist in me lives on.... Bas I hope the creatives don't let me down....
Waiting for ur views... I especially want the Tamil version viewers to comment... since they know the track ahead. Its quite plain Ekta is not tampering a lot with the original story except for some minor changes... as i have heard...
PAVITA RISHTA ROCKS!!!
