Dear Archana,
That is a very well worked out and plausible scenario, but I feel that you are thinking on these complicated lines for the very good reason that Arjun-Purvi keep ricocheting from one crisis to another, and we are always on the lookout for yet another disaster.
I would like you to consider three points, all of which are a matter of fact and not of interpretation.
1) When DK gets that call from Manav about his wanting to fix the marriage date, the first thing they show him as thinking of is Arjun saying that he cannot marry Ovi as he loves someone else, adding a moment later, in response to the sharp question from his father ,"Purvi". He had agreed to Arjun's change of heart not only because he loves his son (after his own dry fashion, but very deeply nonetheless, as a precious gift from his beloved wife), but also because he thinks his wife would have wanted Arjun to marry the girl he loves. He does not come over as the heavy handed father despite his initial, and entirely understandable, burst of anger.He will not go back on this.
Lastly, Archana, as regards the sentence in red, Punni is not thinking of tackling Arjun-Purvi first and then turning her sights on Ovi. It is in fact the opposite. She thinks that once Ovi is told about Arjun having an "affair' with Purvi, she will break the engagement (she does not know what Ovi is like when she is crossed!). As for Purvi, Punni is confident that after Arjun has once got engaged to Ovi, Purvi will not touch him with a barge pole. Thus she thinks that her road will be clear.What self-delusion!

Dear Shyamala - I do love your posts. They are so well structured and thought provoking and really get me thinking outside the box.
In reference to DK, he concerns me. In another post, I referred to DK's reaction to Arjun rejecting Purvi at the first instance of a JUNOV union. Infact, DK rebukes Arjun quite vehemently for dismissing Ovi's feelings.
I even saw remnants of that when Arjun refused to marry Ovi a second time. Arjun did play his trump card, Aashana, to get through to DK about how earnest his feelings were for Purvi and DK connected the dots himself.
DK still loves OVI - loves her like a daughter and makes me nervous because of that. He wants to see his son happy and but is he really convinced that Purvi is the one? I think it will be up to Purvi to make him have a change of heart.
As for Ovi, I agree with you all - she's in it for the long haul. Until that light goes on above her head about Arjun's platonic feelings for her and her acceptance of those feelings, she will not relent.
She is Punni's cousin after all 😆
