and i really like the way they are showing the "rift" btw manav and archana bcuz of the "changes" in manav's life ...
yes ... manav aint perfect .. he shouldnt have even considered aashna's silly advice of apologizing to his wife in front everyone ... yes .. his tone was rude after that previous party fiasco while talking to archu ...
but u know what .. i prefer this manav over the pre-leap manav anyday.. i prefer this manav over the pre-leap manav who used to get steam-rolled by everyone ...
I NEVER want to see the old manav again ...
EDIT :
[ Yes , this manav overreacted and hurt archana .. but i can understand where he is coming from .. I can understand why he has changed ... I can understand what caused him to flare up ( NOT saying he is right is flaring up. .. just saying I can understand the reasons behind his actions..)...
Only in the baby gifting track manav was lame .. apart from that I have been able to connect to everything he has done post-leap]
And I completely disagree with the statements like .. Manav doesnt care if archu starves or dies of pain etc ...
Regarding the precap .. the way I interpret it .. it looks like archu usually eats only after manav comes home .. or at least she waits for him as much as she can ... and thats the way it has been for the past four years ... and hence ... in the precap manav as usual asked her " come lets have dinner " .. It isnt bcuz he "expects" her to starve for him .. he "knows" she usually doesnt have dinner without him...
and regarding manav feeling bad that archu has had dinner without him .. well.. if it was some other time .. he wouldnt really "mind" as such .. but considering they had a hubby-wifey tiff recently .. and have not had a free flowing conversation between them ever since ... Manav would probably feel archu might still be a bit upset with him ..
He does realize he has goofed up ... and thats why he wants to apologize ; regardless of whose advice it is or who made him realize that .
