There are many types of bullies,and Shravs is a different type from wat u r describing
Archu I say is a victim,bcoz she gets bullied on only 1 factor-its when she thinks she is being wrong to somebody - 'be fair to others,else I cannot live with my conscience' take which ppl like savita,shravs,manju,manav even sulo take advantage of - in the whole series,the only reason why Archu is looked up to SOMETHING is that she tries to be fair -
even when she gave the kids away to Manju,the moment shravs went to abort and she brought her back,there was no lookin back on that divorce for her,even if Manav had wanted to back off - the time she snuffed shravs out on the job part was (and shravs was a classic bully there,no doubt!) she felt Shravs was being unfair to Manav and the Ds on their finances,and Shravs showed her arrogance right there in her words,saying,I want u to quit for no rhyme or reason.There was nothing against Archu's conscience then.
Slappin Shravs was bcoz Archu felt Shravs was being unfair to them all by saying things like me and baby wud die -after all the Ds and she had done for her,it was a v v ungrateful statement to make.
She stayed the 3 months only so that Manav does not go to jail for violatin the court order-trying to be fair again.
Victims get bullied over their weaknesses,its not to say that they have no strength at all - they r actually ppl of great strength of character,even Manav is - and that is why I say,they r gud ppl but have a weakness,and they need help to overcome that weakness-Archu needs strong ppl like Ajit or Satish to tell her that giving up Manav does not give justice to Shravs,marrying Jay does not make her fair to her mom's expectations as manav thinks it wud etc.
But Manav bullies her with shravs and sulo's expectations.
Shravs carefully stays off bullying ppl who will bully her back -she dint bully or accuse Manav of a stupid pavitra rishta,she wud'nt even dare accuse him of much,and not a word to savita,bcoz she needs them and knows exactly that Manav is her actual problem -
she shows her ire on ppl who will take it,its sorta bravado- the way she went and blasted Archu when manav was helpin varsha bfor the day of the wedding,its her way of showin that she is strong and to intimidate,not necessary that she wins.She dint blast Manav @all then.See how she played on his weakness instead,by running away -she played on his guilt.
I am not saying Shravs does not have strength of character,she does,but her flaws like these do exist
Somebody had written earlier,its how u treat ur peers and those below u,which shows ur true nature,not how much u bow to those above - she blasts archu real bad but never blasts manav -after all ArMan r 2 sides of same coin,how come she applies totally different rules to both?
Same thing during the mandir episode post-divorce,askin archu to do gatbandan and callin her names -why not call manav those same things??
Here we go again,Di😆😆
