Dear Arch and Bee, whatever excuses you make for Arjun, they are not going to fly, at least not for me, alas!😭

I am pasting what I wrote on Trish's thread here:

Just finished watching the Arjun Ovi scene (refuse to watch anything else of today's epi) and he did not seem reluctant at all, his exact words were "mein chaahkar bhi nahi aa paaya" meaning "I could not come with you (to Goa) even though I wanted to" and then adds that "unfortunately" at the end - sounds like a very unreluctant fiance to me! 😡 I re-wound and watched it 3 times - not just "chaahtha tho bhi nahi aapaatha" but "chaahkar bhi nahi aa paaya" - that is betrayal of all the feelings he allegedly harbors for Purvi. I truly wish Purvi gets over this two faced cheat. If he was making an automatic response as you suggest he was, he would have chosen to say the former not use the latter phrase. Yes, it might be the screw-up of the CVs but the phrase is attributed to Arjun and he does not come across in a good light at all.

Ovi's "bayboo" made me want to puke and her insistence that after they get married he is going to give her his undivided attention, makes her sound a little retarded - is the man not supposed to work at all? he is supposed to be fawning and doting on her dawn to night - that will be his sole purpose in life? What a dimwit. 😡

I am done with this idiocy. The CVs may try to re-create the magic and might bring ARVI together with all the fireworks they can muster but to me the fire is already doused, and the cracks though mended will always be visible. Arjun is just not the guy we imagined him to be - he is weak, he is two-faced, he is stringing along two girls, hopefully not Purvi any more, and he is plain annoying - as annoying as his bayboo girlfriend!!

As for Archana, words fail me, she deserves all the thrashing and trashing from Savita as she seems to relish the flagellation🤢

Oh Janhvi 🥺 I can feel your frustration 😭

This is a show that, unfortunately 90% of the time, undermines trust and respect. They are more concerned with pride and ego. I do think that the CVs are unsure how to handle this three blind mice situation (Arjun-Purvi-Ovi). They botched it up so badly in the beginning and felt the backlash from the audience that they are trying to tread on a somewhat middle ground.

There is no feeling between ARVI scenes anymore because I feel they want to shift focus for a while... setting up the dominoes so to speak.

I agree with you on the magic though - the fire is almost out... not even burning embers 😔

So true on the fire is out, no burning embers even If there were embers, they could be fanned into flames, the fire has been doused once by the CVs with their callous disregard for proper characterization.

Laurie, I can understand that the CVs need to stretch this for all it is worth for some reason, but they need to be consistent and careful even with the choice of words. Arjun's words to Ovi should be monitored carefully by the CVs if they have any intention of igniting at least some of the magic between him and Purvi.
