Excellent commentary Kool. And loved reading everyone else's posts too. Liked Archu-Sachu's interaction. Of all the children, Archu and Sachu had the strongest bond and she does love him. Though over-dramatic, it's nice to see her actually showing some maternal feelings for the children she lost. What she's asking for is stupid though. How can Sachu give her the moments with her children she lost coz she didn't fight for them when it mattered? How can she even demand custody of her kids--they're of legal age and any court cannot order them to stay with one parent or another. Any custody arrangements cannot be part of divorce proceedings coz there's no question of custody of adults. She may request that the kids stay with her so that she can make up to them; but that cannot and will not halt divorce proceedings
technically. Of course, since this is PR, they might just show that the kids , sorry adult children, have to stay with Archana to fulfil her demands for divorce. And what's with the "tell manav deshmukh i won't give him divorce until he gives me the children"? When did he even ask for a divorce? He first thought she wanted a divorce which she refused, then he said let's get back together and then she wanted a divorce. She's behaving as though he asked her for a divorce so he can marry Shravani, and she's fighting him for it. Stupid CV's! Can't the writers atleast keep whatever crap they're dishing out straight in their heads?
And if she's decided to divorce and let the D's be a happy family with Shravani, why's she doing this drama of wanting the kids? Cut it cleanly; after all Archana and Manav have lived separate lives for so many years and they live in different continents. Or she can tell Sachu that she's been foolishly and somewhat egoistically waiting for Manav to call her back; and now that he has, she's not going to let anyone separate her from her family which includes the children she so desperately wants suddenly. This confusing behavior from Archana has been a hallmark of her character. She seems to do this with everything. She does with Shravani, and she's doing it now. She also did it by asking Manav to do something to buy her mother's house, and then told him not to. She told him to do save the chawl, and then not to get involved. What's a guy to do with these confusing signals she keeps sending him? It's difficult for a woman to figure out what she wants, and guys are even denser at taking hints. No wonder he always tried to make sure his MIL stayed happy coz that was a surefire way to earn Archana's approval.
I don't like it that Ovi and Teju are being sidelined in favor of Purvi. She's highly irritating and self-righteous, and though I have nothing against adopted children; one's own children shouldn't be neglected to make sure the adopted one feels secure. And I would hate it if Manav started paying more attention to Purvi, unless Archana compensated by focusing on Ovi, Teju and Sachu; both of them getting to know the children they didn't raise. All of them should have important roles; different maybe; but important. And not by making all the Deshmukh kids negative and Purvi positive either. Lastly, Purvi and Sachu would make a good pair. Arjun and Purvi are too similar, and they would soon get tired of each other. On the other hand, Sachu can calm Purvi down a little while she makes him more "social" since he seems to be an introvert. And Ovi will be the calming force in Arjun's busy, busy lifestyle.
