Of course there's one perfectly practical and sensible way out (if the creatives ever got around to being practical and sensible on Manav and Archana's behalf, i.e.). So here'sthat
ALTERNATIVESENSIBLESCENARIO TO SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS(Read on.....)
(This one's for Tanya who may have a nervous breakdown otherwise 😊)
Manav and Archana get divorced, and Manav weds Shravani. As agreed between all parties, including a resigned Girish, it is a marriage of convenience, and Manav never touches her. (Which won't be hard, given how she absolutely doesn't match up to Archana, who is the ultimate and longlasting prize he has in mind.) The baby isborn "prematurely" but respectably and gets the Deshmukh name. Six months later Manav and Shravani file for a mutual consent divorce and part amicably (though of course to Savita's intense chagrin).Shravani goes back to teaching and bringing up her child. The child is often brought to visit her grandparents inthe chawl and is always made much of. One monthafter the divorce(you have to apply a month in advance)Manav and Archana have a quiet registered wedding attended only by some very relieved young 'uns: Tarun (again, but this time engaged to Vaishu), Varsha and Satish (now a well adjusted couple, and Varshu large with child) and Vandu (thanking her stars she doesn't have to eat Shravani'sREALLY BAD cooking ever again.) The whole party goes out to dinner afterwards. The groom is dressed in a plain cream shirt and dark pants, andcan't help reaching out and touching his new wife gently on the arm or shoulder once in a while, just to make sure she's real and that this isn't a dream. The bride is in a red sariwith a thin gold border and some delicate jewellery. She turns around and looks at her husband when he touches her to be thus reassured and she smiles radiantly back.
How's that for an alternative?
