I really dont see what is so criminal or wrong about honestly attempting to move on in life . Moving on doesnt mean being unemotional or ruthless , neither does it imply that the person never was in love at all .
When this same Shravani was sitting with Sachin's photo , like a stone , with eyes that were perpetually wet due to tears , everyone told her to move on , that moving on is only life .
Damodar told her ......Girish told her , Savita told her and most of all , Manav told her repeatedly .
We see a young girl who knew Sachin for barely few months , and like many normal girls , she allowed him to make love to her ............it happens all the time . Unfortunately that guy died and she found she was pregnant .
Not wanting to abort the baby was a very humane decision that she made inspite of the pressures of a traditional society . For the sake of that society Shravni did not decide to kill a foetus and I applaud her for it coz i see humanity there and also guts . I mean seriously , why shud a baby die so righteous minded society shud be happy ? I dont see the connection or logic.
She asked manav to consider Archana many times , and each time Manav assured her Archna was his bad past .
When she heard Manav admitting to tarun about his love for archu , Shravni's pregnancy had already advanced and many decisions had already been taken . They had not consummated , there was no child in that marraige , the divorce was going on , and Archhna was honestly not welcome in that family by anyone , except Damodar , whom everyone overrode . So many such 'loves' are forgotten after marraige . Was it so abnormal of her not to give it too much thought and instead focus on her own relationship with him? I think NOT . Thats the way any normal girl wud behave . She wud look after her interests . It is not necessarily called being selfish , it is being practical .
The marraige was going to be a compromise , said the great Manav . So Shravni , who had a baby in her tummy and the babys future as her goal dried her tears , adjusted with sachins dysfunctional family , put sachins memory on hold as nothing was gonna yield by constantly crying over him , and decided to give this compromise her hundred percent . She started trying to give her relationship with Manav her hundred percent as a woman as a dead relationship with no emotion , no interest , sleeping with backs to each other , smiling forcefully and perhaps having forced sex by popping viagra pills [ as the great Manav had visualised] wud be very unhealthy not just for the baby but an entire future to come . She seems to be the only one who seems to have visualised what this compromise wud be and so very rightly she decided to make this compromise better from her end at least . Is that so wrong or normal ? For starters , she started dwelling on Manav's unselfish acts and tried reading goodness in them so she cud like him . In short she started working on their relationship .
Manav the great meanwhile doesnt seem to have really given a thought about what was going to be expected of Shravni as a woman by simply referring to the marraige as 'COMPROMISE" everytime . It seems it was perfectly ok for him to sleep with his back to her , tell her with dead pan expressions that whatever u wish will happen , ignore her extreme youth and emotional or physical needs that wud change with time , simply give the baby a middle name to display and pack him off to school , walk off to the garage while his greedy mother fleeced even this second wife of all her money . For Manav doesnt even seem to have the maturity to know that even in a compromise , one has to walk half way through . Which shravni , albeit young , understood , and tried to do .
For that maturity she is being branded as a weirdo who doesnt love Sachin , forgot Sachin sooooo soon , bad , this and that .
Very frankly , its Manav who although 31 , doesnt know the seriousness of his commitment........hence the constant switching of brides in poojas , the thinking of Archu in private , the indifference to shravni , the total dumbness in not imagining or foreseeing what this compromise that he so enthusiastically jumped into and talked about was really going to expect from this girl ........Shravni . Why the hell shud she , so young , live the life of a nun by marrying him because of the word 'compromise ' . Is a compromise Marraige necessarily not succesful?No , it can be very succesful if both walk half way and try their best . Shravni is trying exactly that but Manav ............god knows what this character is exactly doing .
Archna meanwhile is sending mixed signals with such alarming speed that she will cause a bad accident one day . Even her own mom who loves her so much today commented [ and very rightly too] that she shud take vows only she can fulfil , not like thse that create controversy .
Shravni quietly went to collect the money at Savitas behest .She cud easily have argued that today is pooja , the money isnt running away , ill go next week . She even quietly gave up money to Savita . Her jewels , she is least interested in them . She dresses with sobriety , still indicating mourning for Sachin .But yes , this sad compromise that she did in life , to that she is trying to give her hundred percent .Is she so bad ?
Two times she fell for Savitas lies about archu just like each and every person fell upto this point , including Manav and Archu who believed savitas lies during the divorce .
So how come she is so wrong and so bad ? I fail to see her as a shallow human being [ upto this point ] or bad .I felt more sorry for her than archu and Manav even . Coz when she goes , she will truly be broken .
