I agree .
The excuse that Savita ' never lifted a hand on Archu ' is simply unacceptable . Big deal ! What she did...........slaughtering an innocent girl's marital dreams by bullying her ruthlessly and enslaving her and looting her maayka from time to time for her greed as if it was some god given right is a big legal crime .
Today Savita is in this lock up only because of her bad karma..........her alliance with Manju . Even before the marraige was fixed she started this greedy alliance and in the process destroyed Manav's life and Archu's too . Well , Manju the serpent has now bit her ankle and she is writhing in pain . Right till the day of Sachins engagement , Savita was plotting with Manju to get rid of Archu by marrying her off to Satish . And some people on this forum actually hate Sulochna more than Savita...........i simply feel amazed . All Sulochna did was look out for her daughter instead of discarding her like trash giving the stupid old message " Once married , your arthi will come from husbands house . So suffer there ." Most serial moms do this and it is wah wahed as Indian culture . Sulochna spoke up for her daughter , gave her daughter a shelter and even tried to set her life for her by arranging yet one more marraige for her if this one was not working instead of returning her to that hell hole . What was so wrong with that ? I feel like clapping for Sulochna. I hate the mothers who tell their daughters now u suffer for life in ur husbands home and treat ur horrid saas as ur maa ........indirectly telling them thatI do not want to take ur responsibility . Rasika aslso gives Manju support but it is not a positive support like Sulochana.It is negative . It has to be noted that to her credit Sulochna did not once tell Archu not to adjust in Manavs chawl home when she lived there as a bride . In fact she told her to treat them well and to make her proud .
As against that , Savita tried to destroy the marraige from day one . She took everything away from Archu , her jewels , her saris , even the simple buttaas that Manav brought for her as a lover . She harassed the Karanjkars for jewellery and gave them subtle threats like MAine tumhare beti KO AB Tak LAAFA NAHi MAARa . She brought many guests purposefully to their function and made the karanjkars spend beyond their budget . How much did Sulochna tolerate ? She had to deal with a nasty low life woman who lacked conscience whatsoever . Later she threw Archus samaan out , spoke to her father extremely awfully on the phone calling him ' Aie ' and what not , and insulted Archu publicly everywhere she went . Making her remove mangalsutra aafter visarjan was the height . Just now u did visarjan of God and the moment his back is turned u ask ur bahu to take out mangal sutra in public place ? This has nothing to do with poverty or chawl culture .........this shows a black heart . She purposefully tried to shame Archu in office ...........in the market ...........evrywhere , terrorising her like a gunda . She was the one who initiated the divorce and took signatures by tricks .
Sulochna looked out for Archu and Savita destroyed her son...........thats the diffrence . For Savita did not love Manav at all . She loved only herself . The drunkard father loves Manav hundred times more than her . All that Savita did is not short of abuse ..........it is extreme vile abuse and she desrves all that she got . She had no qualms pulling the vegetable sellers hair and hands and hitting her on the roads right ?
And yes Manav is tremendously to be blamed for being so unaware of Archu's torture . He believes his mother this blindly then it is not a virtue it is a tremendous failing . If u bring a girl in the house to live it is not for sex alone , u have to see that she lives there as comfortably mentally as she did at her maayka...........for she leaves everything and comes to u , trusting u alone . It becomes ur responsibility to ensure that . Manav knew very well that his mother had demanded jewels and was harssing the Karanjkars and he chose to solve it by buying jewellery himself ..........instead of raising his voice and saying dont even dare this again , i wont like it , bas . And if Archu had given him promises , he shud not listen to Archu saying this is a matter of principle , in this i wont keep quiet . Manav was spineless and even now his anger will be misplaced...........more in the nature of ' protecting' his mom who frankly got what was long overdue .
What the other Deshmukhs got was however terrible . Again , it was due to Savita's alliance with Manju . Had Savita exposed Manju earlier none of this wud have happened . But how cud she warn Manav that beware of Archu's vahini she is a crook ? She cudn't , cud she , cozz she herself had shaken hands with that crook .
