Oh it's a good thig about the forum that people have different opinions and they can discuss it with each other ...Jai and I have different opinions but we always have such a good time ...

Tanyaz, you are so right about the special relationship in 'Amar Prem'. I have watched 'Amar Prem' long time back when I was young, must have watched till Sharmila's character doting on the neighbor's child and dozed off there after. Next day morning my mom told me the rest of the story and I remember having tears in my eyes knowing how the boy grows up (Vinod Mehra) and comes back to take care of the stranger who had showered him with all the motherly love she had. Very very beautiful relationship.
This also reminds me of a real-story that they showed on Crime-Patrol a few months back about how an unmarried Hindu guy who makes his living selling tea in small town in UP decides to take care of a 3 yr old Muslim boy he once finds in a park barely in a survival state. The guy with his meager earnings took care of his medical expenses and later took care of all his needs, gave all his love, educated him both from regular school and from a maulvi so that the kids religious faith is intact, even decided against his own marriage. When the boy was 12, a journalist visiting his tea stall comes to know of this unusual relationship, was so impressed that she ran a story on National TV. That is when the real parents came out claiming the child causing heart-breaks to the child, to the man and the real-parents ecstatic about finally finding their long lost child. DNA test proved the fact that they were in fact the real parents. To win the case, they even slapped a kid-napping case against the man and brought in the religious angle, but the best thing was the court's ruling due to the real-parent's background and the good upbringing the man gave the child. Court refused to displace the child from his foster father. The real parents lost the case even in high court and now they have appealed with the Supreme Court. Yes, it is a devastating fact for the real-parents, the boy and the man, but I was happy with the outcome. I cried loads watching that story. 😊
OMG, what a story ...
There are angels on earth , that's for sure .May God bless this man and his son gives him so much joy and happiness and takes really good care of him ...I hope they are always together ...
Okay, I wouldn't give all the credit of that to Archana alone, the same way a parent alone cannot be blamed if a child does something untoward or the parent can't claim all as their credit when the child is successful. The effort has to be from both sides. The giver has to give and the receiver has to receive, only then it would survive. What Purvi is today is equally because of the good foundation she was given and also her own effort to stay in that path.
No no, I am not saying that give the credit to Archana alone but she wil ltake some of that credit as she is the link between them ..She could have done what Savita and Manav did ...told the girl how the ugly end happeneed but she chose to only remember the good parts of the relationship .She is a selfless woman , she did not think about her but what was good for her daughter and she knows very well that a child who has no one , only her , could definitely need a daddy like Manav ( in her eyes Manv has the making of the best daddy in the world ) ..That is why she always made her daughter love him so that one day when he comes back ...he would become part of Purvi's life ..
Of course Purvi should be given credit and even more to Manav ..It is not easy to do what he did .He was not even there when the adoption took place but his heart always melts when Purvi is there .Manav and Purvi scenes are just beautiful ...
Archana did a great job raising Purvi. She did instill good things about everyone and everything while her real daughter's innocent minds were being poisoned by their grand-mother. I wouldn't blame Manav either for this because, he might have been hardly there for them and he himself believed the lies his mother told, so there was no chance he could tell anything good about his wife to his children. That is understandable for me, the same way it is understandable for me when she thinks she can sacrifice Manav for Sachin, because I do not see selfish-ness in this act of hers.
This is the only place where I beg to differ ...
I blame Manav first for the hatred that is there in his daughter's heart and then Savita ..I hold him responsible and the reason is because I feel he got selfish ...his own hate for Archana was stronger than his daughters wellfare ...
How could he not remember one single good thing by Archana .. She was the one who was with him in his time of need ...when even his own mother threw him out of the house and he slept on the streets with his new bride ...
How could he not find one single good about Archana any more ...and so quickly believed the worst of her ...
Go to this site called ehow ( my fav website ) .. You can ask how to do anythign here ...Put in the question ' how to be a good daddy ?' and look at the no. 1 answer ...
If you are married, let your children witness that you sincerely love and respect their mother: your wife. This teaches your children that love should be in a home. It also prepares them to be a loving and affectionate mate in their future relationships.

No matter what his problems , he should not have taught his children ( Teju's words ) to hate their mother and even worse , allow them to get close to another woman enough for them to want her as their mother and not the mother who gave them life ...
The kids were in Manav's care , this happened in his supervision ..
This is one thing of Manav that is the worst he has eevr done to Archana ...
I agree with Jai that both Manav and Archana have hurt each other ...but making kids hate the parents is something that only Manav has done and that is the worse thing anyone could have even done to Archana ...
This is the reason why I say now that he does not really love her or else he would have never done this to her ...
In my eyes , there is no excuse for what he has done here ..For this he will have to face some sort of a very severe punishment in life ...or else it will not be fair , he should not get her back ..
can't forgive him for this Bee...sorry ...
Now, you see, I can stand-up for both Manav and Archana and also for Hiten and Ankita 😆 I definitely commend Hiten for taking up the role of Manav which was taken to the heights of popularity by a different actor. Doing that is not easy, more over most of the time Manav is barking at Archana for his own mistake of believing his mother. At the same time I commend Ankita for carrying on as Archana. There are actors who exited out if they have to play mothers of grown-up children. So, her younger look is something I can overlook in the bargain.
Hiten and Ankita are both doing a great job ...
Most of the time manav is screaming and shouting but somehow he does manage to show his frustration more than his anger ...as if somewhere he knows that there is something wrong somewhere ...
Ankita is just getting better and better ...
I love the way she is looking .Don't want her to look old at all ...
Okay, which dumb girl in the real world doesn't understand that a guy is having some feelings for her from the way Arjun looks at Purvi? Okay, okay, Purvi, I understand you are a belongs-to-the-middle-class-and-does-not-look-for-a-guy-herself kinda girl. I wonder if there are anymore such girls left in Mumbai these days 😆
While at it, let me get off 1 more thing from my chest - i would like to give a big shout-out to Meghana Amal, the creative-head of PR.The way you and your team have been developing Arjun-Purvi's story is very good. These days when heroines jump and prop themselves in hero's arms, the subtle love-story developed for Arjun-Purvi keeping them within their limits is commendable. Yes, as a viewer there are things like wanting Arjun to come clean about Ovi etc, but I understand it is required for the story telling. There are times where I have left the show getting bored, but when there is substance in the script (R.M Joshi), the screenplay that is developed is very good and worth mentioning is the Direction. I especially like the camera angles they get for the scenes (I have mentioned this a long time back too). The innovative camera angles that are there is this show are exceptional compared to other shows I have seen. I am not a film-making student and my profession is far far away from any creative field, but I think for a film-making student the direction that is in PR is resource-ful. One can learn a lot from it. Not sure what is going to happen tomorrow content-wise, but appreciation for the team was long overdue from me. Not easy to keep the story going for 3 long years and yes, there would be lot of pressure of being the top show for a channel, so take a pat, Great job all of guys and good luck. Ekta should definitely be proud of the team she has.
p.s: If someone reading this is associated with PR, please pass the message on.
Interesting to read what you have written about the creative team ..there are a few things in the story I am not happy with .I think the relationship between Manav and Archana has been spoiled beyond repair now ...They have stretched it too much ..Just like the Varsha Soham thing ...resulting in fall in TRPs this week but definitely the love story of Arjun and Purvi is picking up ...I also want to see now how Arjun will handle Ovi ...
It was a lovely post Bee..please keep coming in and and giving your analysis ...
that story about the man adopting a little boy was so lovely ...
