Savita's not completely wrong

The actions of Archana and her family have left Savita with no choice but to react the way she has. Despite giving Sulochana a taste of her own medicine, it didn't work. Despite Manav burning his hand trying to convince Archana of his innocence still nothing, Archana is still fulfilling her duties as a daughter, not of a daughter in law or of a wife. If Archana truly wanted her marriage, then it wouldn't have mattered what Savita said, she would've known Manav better and fight for him. Judging the latest article and Archana's continued behavior, she won't fight for Manav so Savita is right. When Archana won't fight for Manav, it's pretty useless for Manav to fight for her. His life shouldn't be put on hold until Archana comes to her senses.

Her family treats her that way because she lets them do it. Archana has a mind of her own and it is time she start using it! She is a married woman, her husband burnt his hand claiming his innocence and yet Archana does nothing. I know on Friday's episode she showed some courage but not enough. I expected her to reach out to Manav in this episode, put up a fight but she didn't and the articles didn't seem encouraging either. If Archana were to put up a fight, then maybe Savita wouldn't be so hard on her and of course she would have Manav's support.

But at least Archana would be standing up for herself and for her marriage. Manav is doing it despite his mother not wanting him to, she too is stubborn but it hasn't stop Manav and it shouldn't stop Archana.

Ah, I so agree! I think that Savita, like any mother, is now just fed up. She doesn't want to see her son suffering for a girl that isn't even doing anything to help him. Archana hasn't once made it clear to Manav or his family that she supports him. You're right that she let her husband get slapped and insulted and didn't listen to him. Just like after the bidaai, Archana isn't showing any respect for Manav or her relationship with him and Savita has had enough. Yes, it was wrong to take Manav's name in asking for the managalsutra, but its probably the only way that she could get Archana out of Manav's life. In Savita's eyes Archana has done no good for son and is making him suffer if anything, so she is trying to make her son's life good again in her own style. Anyways, its not like Archana has shown that she actually wants to wear the mangalsutra, it seems like she's just wearing it because she feels like she has to. Thus, I don't know what else Savita will think of Archana except that she doesn't care for Manav and doesn't mind seeing him suffer, which would make even the kindest of mothers angry.

In fact now that I think of it, Savita may just be (without actually thinking about it) testing Archana. If Archana believes her and dares to take off the mangalsutra, then it will cement Savita's thoughts that Archana really doesn't care one bit about Manav or her marriage with him. If she doesn't take it off and asks whether Manav really wants the mangalsutra back, then atleast Savita will see that Archana still trusts Manav's goodness to some extent and isn't too keen on breaking her bond with him.
