Though Purvi replies in the negative to both these appeals, you have to notice both the lines she speaks and her expressions. She follows the Madhuri closely on this, and while she is denying having any feelings for him, or being jealous, her voice says one thing and her eyes say another. It does not last too long, but it is very well done.

She is desperate to salvage whatever she can of her pride and her self-respect, and she hits back at him in the best way she can think of, by denying that she loves him any more. It is obvious, however, that even as she says it, she does not believe it herself, and try as she might, she cannot get him out of her system. She confesses as much when she laments that she could forget the fiasco with Vinay like a bad dream, but try as she might, she cannot forget this.

I would have liked Purvi to have shown a little more dignity, and lamented much less about what she has been thru and how much he has hurt her - shown her dreams, made kasme vaade (promises and vows), and then chhod diya mujhe? Kyon kiya aise? (you abandoned me, why did you do that?). It sounds pathetic, and that is not what I would want her to be, but a strong and dignified girl with enough self respect not to betray her hurt, and enough resilience to take it on the chin and show nothing on her face. That would have been a far more fitting reply to Arjun's endless "Main sab theek kar doonga" (I will set everything right) than this rona dhona and all the nonsense about what girls like her (she spared us the "middle class', however) are expected to do and not to do.

I though did not like Archu asking Purvi about Arjun's personal life but can understand her point.. She has her love stuck daughter who was crying helplessly... She had to console her and also Arjun is in good books of Archana so she cant believe he can have an affair or cheat her daughter...

Dear naava,

I can completely understand where you are coming from here. Once one admits the basic premise from which you proceed, that Arjun is amoral, as distinct from immoral, all of your subsequent analysis falls into place.

I would like to set out my own views to refute this assessment, and I shall avoid the obvious one that if leading man in a true blue Indian TV soap were to be something so interesting as amoral, the whole structure would collapse. And of course the ARVI fans, in their legions, would be devastated.

Firstly, even if I were to point out, with justification, that he is not "pretending to love one person publicly, playing this game, and crying like a victim to gain the love and adoration of another", for he has at no time pretended to love Ovi, nor has he tried (to use a term that Trish has made her own) to initiate any PDAs (The way in which he stands during that paper dance, arms hanging limply at his sides while Ovi has both her arms round his neck, would not have been accepted by any self respecting fiancee, who would have pulled him up with a sharp "Hold me, for heaven's sake!"), it would make no difference to your main argument.

I could point out that if he were really amoral, he would never have told DK about Purvi, nor would he ever have tried to tell Ovi the truth at all. I do not know how you will deal with these facts without damage to your thesis, but the facts themselves are incontrovertible.

There are any number of Casanovas who keep many girls on a string without getting caught out - that is the staple of the French farce. But no Casanova that I have ever heard tell of behaves like Arjun Kirloskar, for no Casanova makes the cardinal mistake of falling in love.

Of course you could say that he does not love Purvi at all, and is only pretending to do so, and " playing both ends against the middle" for his own advantage. I do not think even Janhvi would agree with this, but let it pass.

The strongest argument against your conclusion that Arjun is manipulating the emotions of both girls selfishly for his own advantage is this: there is no real advantage for him that I can see. What does he stand to gain by misleading Purvi and keeping her on a string (not that he can do it, anyway)? Not the most obvious one, for she is NOT going to have an affair with him. Nor that he can exchange sweet nothings with her every now and then, even if such a milk and water exercise could be termed as an advantage - for their interactions have, over the past 2 weeks, been nothing but an exercise in screeching on her side and futile bleating on his. What then?

As for Ovi, why does he have to invite all these complications? He can marry her any time he wants, and she will let him be, adore him as he is, and never demand any extra attention once he makes it clear that this is how it will be.

No, I do not agree that Arjun Kirloskar is amoral, and this is not just a matter of my judgement, but of the facts as we know them.

I think Arjun Kirloskar is terminally stupid, and like most men, he has begun (for he was far more forthright when he called Ovi the day after his conversation with Aashana) to avoid unpleasantness as long as he can, and he finds convenient excuses, like the court case, to justify his procrastination to himself. But now, I think, he has reached the end of this particular road. He will have to do what he should have done weeks ago, tell Ovi.

After this, the situation will get worse, not better, especially for Purvi. Arjun will have to be her strength and her sheet anchor, always provided that she will let him be that, and not run and hide in Archana's pallav and sacrifice him and herself for her aai's Ovi ma'am. She has not shown any signs of this so far, but it is early days yet, and when the full impact of the general hostility to the Arjun-Purvi love affair makes itself felt, she just might cave in.
