Dear Trish,
Please don't work yourself up so much; as you know, it bothers me. You are far too nice a person and far too sensitive, and at this rate, you will make yourself ill before this is all over. And it WILL blow over one day soon, you will see. You know, these kinds of scenes used to be a staple of the Hindi melodramas till the 1990s. Misunderstandings, sacrifices, the wrong people getting involved, sad songs at the piano- the works. I never felt sorry for any of those beleaguered couples the way I do now for Arjun-Purvi. That is in fact the problem and you have it far worse than I do.
I was very pleased with the way DK reacted to that very blunt and direct confession from Arjun. The son did not beat around the bush, was very forthright is asserting that he should never have been kept in the dark about the engagement, and candid about Purvi and his love for her. It was all very man to man,and yet when DK was initially shocked and angry, Arjun unleashed his Brahmastra, saying that his Mom should have been there, and insisting that he needed his father and DK had to help him. He knows how to handle even a tough nut like DK and get his own way.
Aashana is DK's Achilles heel, and the shot goes home. He comes round in an instant, concedes that Arjun might be right, and even offers to sort it out himself with Manav. And I do not have the slightest doubt that he will deliver on this promise. See how he does not object to Purvi in any of the familiar ways; he seems to accept her simply because his son loves her and does not say a word any more about Ovi, despite caring so much for her.
One does not know how long DK will be away, and all these complications will multiply in the meantime. You can hardly expect Ekta's team to let go of any openings for further drama and tears. We just have to grit our teeth and bear it as best as we can,as we KNOW that all will be well in the end. DK's support and willingness to help actively will be a great plus for Arjun-Purvi, just as opposition from him would have made it much tougher for them. Especially since Arjun is genuinely troubled about the impact this will have on Manav and Ovi.
It is also now clear, or at least very likely, that Arjun's passive attitude towards Ovi is because of DK having told him to stay still till he returns, and not because Purvi has forced this on him as part of her sacrifice plan. This is a promising factor, and it is at least possible that Purvi might not get around to it at all. That would be another major plus, for these kasams and the like are very tricky to get rid of.
Shyamala
Dear Shyamala,
I do agree that if Arjun closes the door it seems shadier. So, it is better to keep it open.But, as we know from SBS segments, and precap shown today, that Ovi will be doing a lot of the same in front of Purvi. Therefore, as an arvi fan, it really feels bad to see this not once but many times over. I hope you understand that it seems a bit ugly now cause we know that arvi have confessed to each other. Had they not been in love, or had been oblivious to it, this would not have hurt as much.
Thanks,
Trish
