For months, I watched Archana treat Manav like dirt. She wouldn't listen to him and always thought the worst of him, it was Manav alone putting up a fight for his marriage. Archana wasn't interested. It took a long time for Archana to realize what she was giving up, her realization came too late. More misunderstandings were created, more pain was caused.
Sure Manav loves her, he went great lengths for his love but he also faced a lot of pain along the way. It was no easy task seeing his mother and sister get beaten in jail nor is it easy for him to move forward after the death of his brother, especially now that Shravani is pregnant with Sachin's child. His anger and pain are justified, just because Archana has realized how much she loves him doesn't make things ok not after everything that has happened.The tables have turned, the months that Manav was shown putting up a fight while dealing with a cold Archana now Archana is forced to see Manav in this light. Hopefully, this won't drag out long. At the moment, Shravani is the biggest obstacle in getting Manav and Archana back together. Hopefully, she'll come to her senses and realize it is a mistake to marry Manav.
very well said,
i usually just read people's post but i thought to write something on this since i have also been thinking about what is right and wrong and is there a way to salvage this relationship. i think i would say that most of the mistake is of both aai's (savita and sulochana) once the children are married, they should have not meddled in their lives. but i also think it is more of archana's fault that this relationship is not working. manav tried to have a conversation with archana several times and she never gave a chance. i only recall once archana making an effort to talk to manav, right before she signs the divorce papers. i agree that manav is not aware of his mother's actions to separate him and archana, but to make a relationship work it should be the husband and wife willing to compromise, listen and trust each other.
and like you mention archana's realization came too late....
i think that manav's repetitiion of " i will marry shravani" is not unusual. his heart is telling him to not marry shravani because he still loves archana, but his mind is telling him to take responsibility of the unborn baby and shravani. when such delimma's exist, the repition is natural to convince yourself that the decision you are making is right.
