@ Tanya and Jai...(also Munni i think?) great discussion about whether Manav and/or Savita should be punished for their sins and crimes. I tend to lean in your direction Jai, but I can see your point too Tanya. It's hard to know. I tend to always forgive people if they sincerely recognize their mistakes and are remorseful. Sometimes i wonder if that's right...but then, it's not up to us at all. Actually, i don't believe in either human or divine punishment. I think that G-d wants all of us to grow and He corrects us not punishes. When we recognize our mistake and repent, He moves on..so should we. The hard part comes of course, when our mistake and sins and crimes have deeply wounded others. But still ... two wrongs don't make a right, and I think Jai's idea of restoration and restitution are far better than wishing suffering on someone when they have realized what they did...genuinely realized and remorseful - and that's the key i guess..if it is genuine. Sometimes that painful remorse is the consequence of our sins and mistakes and is never easy to bear...punishment enough.
Naava , if a good human being does something as bad as what Manav did and also knowing that his mother deliberately did this to his wife and his daughters and he unintentionaly helped her in achieving her evil goals , then honestly , do you really think he could just say ' I am sorry I made a mistake , now give me a hug and move in back with me " ...
I don't think he will be able to do that , maybe because even now somewhere I still believe in his goodness ( maybe because of Purvi ) ..
I do think that if he is made to feel , just for a few days , what it is to be like to be hated by your own children ...he would definitely understand Archana's pain a lot better ..
I don't want him to suffer as long as Archana did ...but at least something should make him realize what he and his mother put her through ...
I don't know if the CVs will give us this or not ...they only like to show Archana suffering ... but I think it will be good for the character of Manav if he is shown depressed and extremely guilty
@ Thanee and Tanya and Munni... re: Ovi and Archana and Arjun I did think that Archana will help to build Ovi's character...but I do believe also it will be a struggle between the classes. Ovi represents the very negative trait (even nasty trait ) of looking down upon the poor and the middle classes. I think she will become a negative character (a pest as you said Thanee 😆 ). I have never cared for her character from the beginning but loved Tej. Tej is down to earth and humble...Ovi never has been...the question is whether or not she will change.
When Teju told Ovi ' come and meet those people I am staying with , Ovi made a bad face and turned the request down ...
I didn't like that .
I mean , if a family has taken such good care of my sister for 2 months ...I would think highly of them and would want to go and thank them ..
Anyway ...let's give her more time ...she is not a bad girl .Let's see how she behaves this week ..
But there are good people on PR who are upper class - DK, Aashna, Arjun, Satish (although he was weak in the end). It will be interesting how the CV's will want to portray this and whom they think should win will influence the outcome of all the relationships. These are honest portrayals and I for one want to see the middle class idea that you aren't worth anything and don't have rights, crumble and fall away. This has been the plague of Archana from the beginning and Purvi learned it. However Purvi has taken wings and I see Archu beginning to stand up for herself. Good people like DK and Arjun can help them realize they are worthy and more. Actually, this middle class poverty of spirit is what drives Savita...she thinks she is worth nothing if not rich...she has missed the truth and used it to manipulate her world.
I, like you, Tanaya am a bit afraid for the heartache ahead - it may be too much for me.. Purvi especially, so tender and new...if she feels betrayed and loses her trust in Arjun, I will be heartbroken also. Archu, finally finally is getting stronger...and with every strengthening of her spirit, she grows more and more beautiful and I don't want to see her lose that growth and stability and that strength.
Naava , I am a little tense of what is going to happen next week ...😆
I think it is going to be a major turn of event ..
What I am waiting to see is .
1. Will Arjun wear Ovi's ring ?
2. When Arjun will refuse Ovi's rishta and tell the world about Purvi , what will be Manav and Archana's reaction ?
3. Will a desperate Ovi or Sachin call Savita to come immediately to help them ( we know the passport will get ready in 2 days ) .
