My jaw literally dropped open when i heard savita demand archu;s jewelery. That was not hurt, that was just greed. How does someone even think of money at this time defies logic. And one thing savita also knows is that archana is least interested in money and jewelery so its not if archu is going to grieve over it. It was petty, mean and just plain greedy.
Savita picked up the broom to hit archu. Hell, she caught her by the hair and was throwing her out of the house. how is this ok and sulochana slapping manav is not ok ?
If everyone's life is in a mess then in my opinion there are three people to blame - archu, manav (equally, not less or more) and savita. How can anyone forget her cruelty towards archu ? She was absolutely ill treated as a bahu and when archu returned home, she plotted and schemed to further the gap between the two. She keeps pressurising manav in the name of motherly love. i don't think she rises above the situation rather she stoops down to it. She is one of those people who always finds other people to blame for her misfortune.
Greedy she may be but she doesn't disguise it and her words to Girish were true ........that I am indeed laalchi but I REALLY wanted Shravni as a bahu .........theres more to my want of Shravni than mere Lalach , greed .
.... A trend i have seen is nowadays alot of characters have this defense - "at least i am honest about it."
i am crude and vulgar - but "at least i am honest about it."
i am greedy - but "at least i am honest about it."
i am selfish - but "at least i am honest about it."
etc etc .....
This is not honesty, this is just plain bad manners. You can't excuse all sorts of horrendous behaviour by saying 'i don't hide anything, what you see is what you get' ...............
Which is the case with savita - she says she is greedy and no not disguising it doesn't make it ok. The way she tortured archu for money was not ok. And no, she didn't really want shraavani as her bahu. When savita was in her archu-poojan mode, she used to constantly belittle shraavani and compare her to archu. On one occasion she actually told her - that manav doesn't love you and we all can't forget archana - this is your fault that you are not good enough to make us love you instead. If you change yourself, become more like archu we will forget her.
....... The thing is that savita sees everyone else's fault except her own. She took down one and all, made huge tamasha's of everyone no matter how small the provocation ..... She is hardly the blameless loving mother you portray her to be
