In defence of Archana

There have been many posts of late blaming Archana for being foolish, for being weak , for not trusting Manav etc. Hence a few words in her defence. 1. She is a semi-educated girl with a limited social life apart from her family. All this while she has been guided by them . So how can she suddenly start thinking for herself and get a broader view point? 2. Manav was in love with her . We know it as independent observers. But he is not the most expressive of lovers and rather shy , so naturally she took her time to warm up. She did warm up to his family to a certain level and tried her best to adjust and perform her duties inspite of Savita aai's treatment . She did try to adjust rather than confront , keep peace rather than fight . 3. Manav did try to go and speak to her and at a certain level she did try to respond , listen to her heart and defend him . But for each time Manav tried to make up, why are we forgetting Savita aai's schemes and plots and vicious behaviour which effectively nullified whatever manav tried to do. She even used his name to extract the mangalasutra etc. Purely from the viewpoint of what they saw , do you really blame Archana and her family to try and keep away even if they admitted at some level that Manav may not be all that bad?

I agree .Poor me for getting involved in this show . My sister got me into it . I won't forgive her.

Agree with you, Archana is very much a victim of circumstances, Savita, the villains and even her own Mom. She had led a very sheltered life and never made any decisions of her own... so normally it was difficult for her to stand up against everyone so suddenly especially when the proofs were so strong... eventually her love for Manav gave her strength to face the world and accept it in the open... it is said that adverse circumstances make you or break you... Archana has learnt the lesson of life the hard way... that ultimately you have to stand up for what you think is right even if the world thinks you are wrong.. she didn't stand up for her husband then even though she believed he cudn't be wrong... (and yes, her reasons are completely understandable)...and that is why today things have spiralled to such an extent...

I keep saying this that neither archu nor manav is wrong...Its circumstances created by manjusha and company, wrong and cheap thinking of savita, selfishness and foolishness of sulochana which is responsible for this situation........

@guptill : You say the best things short and sweet...!!

@nikitagmc:
Well, thanks for praise.....But, dont understimate yourself.....You are quite good in arguing for manav......Your posts are also quite sensible and upto the mark, seriously........

Yeah, of course. ALL villians should be punished NOW.

@guptill: Haha.. thanks... but its not just arguing for Manav.. I take the side of the one who I feel is right and take a practical view of things trying to get into the shoes of the character.. and according to me.. as of now.. Manav is not at fault.. so will defend him.
