Archana is bad example - Page 2

Also it would be nice ( though impractical ) to expect good in people and believe that generally people are good and they do mean well .

What I would never follow from her ass an example is the show of low self seteem she does when her saas abuses her .... to keep on loving a man this deperately even though he is totally make a mess of his life and your life ... again low self esteem.

She needs education to work on her low self esteem ...

Had she behaved like varshu n asserted her right,Manav ,the way he is wudnt hav softened his stand towards her n wudnt hav start fallin for her all over again....slowly but steadily,archu the lover,has achieved wht no one cud hav thot of...Manav's hatred n anger is getting replaced by love n concern

I wud like to think since its supposed to b a love story,the CRs r showin us example of unconditional love.

I think we all agreed long back that Archana's incredibly long suffering character has to do with TRPs and the profit motive, and that she's a really dangerous exemplar for Indian womanhood. Even in a chawl. Savita's loud-mouthed self-protective instincts and aggressiveness are a lot more wholesome in some ways, though of course, a channel like Zee (which hobnobs so closely with that milk-and-water Barjatya/Rajshri production house; see them cozying up on the Rishtey Awards Nite?) can only portray Savita as a villain. The one encouraging thing, though, is that the serial does offer a foil to the Manav-Archana relationship: Satish defends Varsha to his mother and Varsha tells Ajit off as best she can given the circumstances. Here also are two people we can call moral beings, but two sensible, independent, and articulate people who bid fair to make a marriage that's based on recognition and understanding of each other's needs in a contemporary sense, rather than through the kind of mythic/epic self-sacrifice that bonds Manav and Archana. In a way then, the serial presents two versions of the ideal marriage: the modern one, that we are implicitly all encouraged to emulate, given that it shows more chances of success than heartbreak, and the traditional one that is formally paid lipservice to, but that nobody in the audience would want to, indeed can actually be party to.

Why is Archana great in this show, coz she has some qualities that ordinary woman don't have (some woman woouldn't want to have). I'm not justifying Archana's way of taking injustice and not speaking for herself but there are other qualities that makes her good example, why ignore that.

We like Varsha's character coz most of us can identify with her, theres nothing great abt such qualities, if most of us have those qualities. Same goes for Shravani, nothing great abt her.

Is Archana good example for

1) Daughter - Yes, everybody should agree there

2) Sister - Yes. She is such a good sister to Vinod, she thinks of her brother and that is stopping her from taking action againt Ajit/Manju

3) Wife - Yes, I need not explain that

4) Sister-in-law - Yes

5) Daughter-in-law - Yes

5) self-respecting woman - NO

Gauri, that is what I am talking about... People like you and me will like Archana for few things but understand to never behave like her..

But what about the uneducated chawl ladies... Poor maried girls who relate to Archana as they face these situations everyday in their life. The creatives should show that strength in Archana, where she can stay in her sasural but with her own conditions... She should have some self respect.. I agree with Koolsadhu, Archana is the best example of how not to behave...
