Cracks in Manav's character?

So far Manav was elder brother like figure to Shravni. This makes whole concept of Shravni –Manav marriage ugly as it sort of amount to incest. More over it is illogical for Manav's family's orthodox ways that a bona fide married couple was forbidden to consummate marriage before a certain Pooja while other lady engaged in premarital sex is embraced wholeheartedly.

This concept is also creating first time inconsistencies in characterization of Manav which was flawless, ideal and yet believable so far. For instance while creatives continue to show his lingering love for Archna, in front of Shravni he is vouching the oblivion to Archna's existence! If in this his intention is to fulfill his promise then what about certain earlier sacred promises [seven in figure?] given to other human being which were taken in form of unbreakable oaths in presence of his entire clan and in witness of his beloved Deity? Oh! The divorce is the modern way out, but then why not adoption of younger brother's child within the fold of old marriage after a discrete delivery?

i agree... and i like how you worded everything ... i totally agree with last part and that manav should have adopted the baby instead of being its step father

even the movie Hum Aapke Hai Kaun focuses on this aspect...what is the need to marry your brother's love when you can offer the same amount of love to his kid being an Uncle....

I agree! I too love the way you have worded everything.

Firstly on Manav-Shravani being like brother-sister, I completely agree. Although it would probably never be a marriage in the complete sense, just the thought of them even being married as a compromise is sickening. Its comparable to a scenario in which if when Savita was pregnant with Vandita, and Damodar died, then she would have married Kaka. Just... ugh, I mean you can see that she treats him (usually) with the respect of an elder brother, and I felt like it was the same with Manav and Shravani. The whole idea just makes me shudder.

Beautifully said .

And Exactly my sentiments . If u ask me , Manav truly damaged the Pavitra Rishta . This word has been flung around like anything in this serial but nothing seems to justify it .

Manav signed the divorce papers first . Archana didnt .

Manav agreed to marry another woman . Archana didnt agree to marry another man .

For all Manav's lovable persona the script writers made him do the serious damages to the Pavitra Rishta .

A lot of flak was given to Archu's mom for frowning down on the marraige but it has to be noted here that Sulochana did not persuade Archu to file for divorce , Savita ........Manav's mom did it . So both the times the serious break up actions came from the Deshmukh end . Amazingly , the Karanjkars r hated more than the Deshmukhs .

The tragedy of Sachins death has made the biggest villain of all .........Savita , a certified victim . It has turned Manav into a hero of some sorts who is fulfilling his responsibility .

Manav stands quietly while his mom called Archu badchalan and manhoos . But he never asks even once his mom in private , as too what she will call Shravani now that she is pregnant before marraige . In fact , no one has asked Savita this question about her favorite bahu Shravani . And the son who had the highest morals........Sachin ! He pinched girls butts and then had irresponsible sex before dying ........and yet Manav does not once point this out to Savita who does rampant character assasination of girls from other familes .

The only person who stands upto Savita is Damodar . Manav does not stand upto Savita even half as much as his Dad and currently is falling for each of her evil schemes as much as Vinod has been shown falling under Manju's spell .

Manav ignores the one parent who truly has his best interests at heart ..........Damodar , and literally pampers Savita all the time . No one in the house is this blind to Savita's faults.........not Sachin , Vandu , Kaka or Baba. Only Manav is.

It never strikes Manav about the travesty of justice of the events following his marraige..........how his mom did not allow the consummation of his marraige and how that decent gal Archu honoured that stupid order . And how the girl who didnt even wait for taking seven rounds before the holy fire is being welcomed with red carpets by that same hypocritical mother .

What will it take for Manav to recognize Savita's blatant hypocrisy ? Is he honestly this dense ? Everything is right there in front of him , how come he doesn't get it ? And Sulochana is blamed for not sending Archu to that house ! Honestly , who will ? Whatever Sulochana was she really loved archu , unlike Savita who Doesn't love Manav .

Manav even fought with the chawl people asking them were they not ashamed of taunting Savita after the jail thingy . Hadnt he seen for so many years Savita jeering and taunting nastily other people ?

He dragged Savita righteously to the karanjkar home after the jail episode and asked archana did I ever troubled u in my house .........what about his mom's atrocities which he isnt aware of till this point ?

Frankly speaking Savita is such a chadheli only due to Manav .......he is the earning member of the house and alone has the power to seriously shut her up . But he chooses not to .

Manav doesnt hold it against Girish that he made the fatal ruthless phonecall that sent Sachin spiralling to his death .He forgives Girish but not Archana ? Odd !

Manav proposes to Shravani on his own , even Savita isnt responsible for it . He cud have easily told Girish I am burned out with my first marraige I dont think I can ever have a second marraige in this life time I am still dealing with the ugliness of the first .........but I will take full responsibility of the baby .

He cud have adopted the baby and given it the Deshmukh name if Shravni wanted to remarry .

The worst thing he did was in his bid to take on a responsibility that wasnt even his , he was untrue to his heart. Right now he doesnt even seem to miss archu or want her back........she is actually a hindrance in his plans to marry Shravani !

And Archana has to take 'prayaschitta ' to save her marraige .......may I ask why the onus of working on a marraige is largely on the woman only ? Was Manav perfect , without faults ? was the Deshmukh family perfect ?Who will point this out to Manav in this serial ?

Yeah agree with u..
The whole sequence of Manav n Shravani is pathetic... I dont get it why thy have introduce such story...

ANd 2nd yeah if Manav is modern enough to get divorce then why isnt he modern enough to adopt the child???

Marriage is not the only solution to this problem.. We all been saying same thing from the time this track is introduced!!! Why marry Shravani for child.. I hate this track yaar..

I am extremely disappointed with Manav . His only mission is to get rid of Archana and take care of Shravani .

@Tanyaz: Arey yaar, he does not know Archana loves him.... 6 mahine se mana kar rahi hai.. ek din mein ab woh thodi na maan jayega. Try n look at things from his point of view.

nahin yaar I am very angry with your guy .Maybe I will be Ok later , for now I am angry .Usko akal nahin hai , why is she saying no to divorce if she doesn't want him back ????
