He does think yaar, unfortunately his actions are not that strong everytime. Just remember how he shouted at his Aai when she called Archana bhikhari... at that time he had decided that he will behave in a way that Archana would hate him... but could he stop himself that day? NO!!!Your words have got me thinking...Initially I thot he was saying just for his mother..who was so insistent upon Shravani n him sitting together.Manav is confusing me a lot,I failed to understand how can a spiritual boy hav such suggestions....but on the other hand if he holds his commitment for shravani n in a bid not to use Archu as a replacement,he suggested it...I agree he's not wrongThat is Manav's speciality Gauri, and also what sets him apart from other heroes. To him traditions and rules are important, but more important than that are people, their respect and their feelings. In the beginning days of the serial, he was never sad that Archana was marrying Satish, he was happy for her. When he came to know that Archana wanted to marry Satish, he threw his own 'Pavitra Rishta' in the dustbin for her happiness- the same 'pavitra rishta' about which he had said big big things about agni and sindoor and bappa etc.Today again, he almost did the same thing. He knew it was wrong of him and he had NO right to sit with Archu in the pooja after getting engaged to shravani in front of her eyes... it would be unfair to her to use her like a replacement or a second choice, it was disrespectful... extremely disrespectful. Also it wud be unfair to shravani (although i dont really think he was thinking of her at that time) so for the sake of the self respect of both ladies he says we will wait for shravani and so agrees to do the paap of sitting in satyanarayan puja with a girl who is not his wife. In return he gets humiliation from all corners and anger from his fans.😉He is spiritual but he is not a hardcore religious fanatic. God lies in the heart and in other people, right?😃
