What can be more painful than thinking your child is dead? Yet many want Archana to pay even more! Savita knows what it is to lose a child, yet she is prepared to make Archana suffer even more, just to get revenge, and this is okay? Not in my books, it isn't.
I wanted to respond to this comment Sharon . Unfortunately my lengthy treatise got lost but will attempt some summary .
Savita herself lost a son ...a grown young son ...Sachin .
Savita danced like a prostitute in wedding reception of daughter Vandu when she married Ajit . Why ? Coz samdhan Rasika who was rich that time exerted her authority as her daughte's saas and demanded it . Savita was stripped of dignity in old age .
Savita got a terrible beating with a rod on her old knees and waist and calves from a corrupt policewoman when she was jailed by Manav's sasural .
Savita watched her daughter's sad marraige with a rapist who was raping her daily in a brutal way for months after her marraige . She called her daughter back repeatedly but daughter did not listen . She felt trapped due to societal pressure .
Why were these karmic punishments given to Savita ?
They were given as an answer to her scheming against Archana . She had schemed to throw Archana out of the house . People hated Savita then ...I was among them And all my posts were AGAINST her exactly the way they r against Archana today .
But her crime was scheming against her bahu . The punishments seemed far too much . For scheming , the punishment shud be that the scheming is exposed . But for scheming she got death of a son , daughter raped and troubled far worse than the way she had troubled Archana , dancing like a prostitute , beatings in jail .
Yet no one said enough .All were baying for her blood . MORE they wanted .MORE .
reason ?
Archana was the one she troubled and Archana was popular as a lead . Nobody felt that she had paid enough .
Savita DOES get her dues in this serial . Its Archana who escapes scot free .
In real life in India , in that lower middle class chawl society , Archana may have got a physical beating by an enraged husband with his chappals upon returning after witnessing the death of his son in the way Manav experienced . It was NOT shown . Yet Savita WAS shown getting a beating .
Archana reached a red light area by mistake due to Ajit's manipulations but was not disgraced by making her dance like a call girl . We never saw that . But Savita WAS made to dance like a prostitute .
Savita went away so much from Manav's heart that Manav was not speaking or looking at her face even for months after his marraige to Archana . He even invited her to functions only when Archana sanctioned it .
She had suffered the loss of her son in an emotional sense .
She was trying to talk about these insecurities to Archana the other day when she told her He stopped giving me importance since u came in his life . It was not just about the FDs or money . What that crass woman was clumsily trying to say was something much deeper but Archana threw the FDS on her face and made it out to be a money matter . She had no interest in listening or finding out about HER insecurities .
Had it been Varsha or Sulochana , this Archana wud have sat on her knees and tried to understand what they r saying by holding their hand like a counsellor .
My point : Savita does get punishments . Regarding her heartlessness in feeling Archana has not paid enough by losing her son and wanting MORE for her ...Sharon , Archana will never stop even with Soham's loss . She cried due to GUILT and the fact that she had no FACE to now refute those accusations hurled at her as each accusation had a base . But remorse ? I doubt . Did not see her having ANNY remorse for doing case against husband , nor for not listening to him anout Varsha . She cries at her ill fate and bad luck , not out of repentance . She will never stop irritating Savita and Savita knows it by now , hence the decision to get rid of her while the oven is hot . Its a villainous decision but the deduction that Archana will just not stop is correct .
