It is quite easily to call Manav a quitter- but just take a look at what he went through in one day:
1.) Loss of baby
2.) All his immediate relatives walking out on him
3.) Horrendous insult
4.) A sick, weeping wife
5.) Feeling of having let down his wife big time.
And then the worst thing
6.) Being asked by everyone to FORGIVE the murderers.
How is any man supposed to still be perfect and in control in such a time is what I fail to understand.
Every person has a limit. When the limit is reached, one shatters down.
Manav needs a grieving period is the bare truth. And this is something he cannot get in his own house now, even his parents are telling him to let go and 'forgive' and in fact, they are defending the murderers!
He needs some time to recuperate from this accident. As lunza very rightly put it, he went through an experience almost as bad as emasculation. I agree that Archana needs him at the moment and it will be heartbreaking for her, but everything perfect doesn't happen everytime. This is unfortunately a complicated situation.
