@koolsadhu:
You know what.. I really want Manav to know all the horrible truths about his mother.. not just to do justice to Archu but also to himself..
Since 16 years of age.. he is working for his family.. never expects anything of them... wears two shirts so that his bro and sis can go to college.. tries to fulfill each and every little wish of his mother.. by not buying anything for himself so that he can get a new sari for her on Diwali...
Yet what does he get in return??? His Mom used to steal money from his pockets even though she knew how much stressed he used to be about the household budget. She just rantled on about household expenses instead of being proud of his efforts. Archana worked hard too.. but Sulo pampered her.. Savita on the other hand pampered Sachin.. the guy who wasted his bro's hard-earned money on gambling.. and not Manav. Instead of trying to settle him up with a good and loving girl and give him some happiness.. she din't want him to get married cos she didn't want a girl laying claim on his earnings.. finally he got married at 31....31!!!!
In fact I even find it difficult to understand how come she allowed Manav to leave his studies and start working at a young age... any other mother wud have tried to take on the responsibility of fending for the family herself!
and finally she snatches Manav's happiness- Archana in the worst way possible.. she tries to sell him in the marriage market. After that she tries to hook him up with Shravani knowing he will never be happy with her.. in the name of responsibilty..!! If she had her way.. she wudn't mind parting with her son for bucks!!
I mean.. what kind of mother is she??? I won't be surprised if later in the serial they show she's his step mother or something.. she has no compassion for him AT ALL... no concern for his happiness... she is as bad a mother to him as Manjusha is to Punni.
