Clearly, everything hasn't been revealed yet. There was obviously a lot to be told from Arjun's side, Archana's side, DK's side and also Purvi's stand in all this. Obviously those are all for some other day since they still need to drag the story further to be in circulation.
As per the spoiler posted on the forum it is clear why the complete revelation was held back - to find a reason to justify the upcoming track for Arjun slogging at K house to prove his worth. If Arjun & DK had revealed everything today, then the upcoming track would make no sense. (However age-old that story line is! Grr)
But one thing is very clear is that DK understands all the events properly, that
- Arjun did tell him about Purvi, but he did it after the Engagement;
- It was DK who had misunderstood Arjun's restlessness with the unknown feelings (of Love) and assumed he had fallen in love with Ovi which caused all the issues for Arjun.
- DK further understood why his son could not reveal it at the Engagement itself.
- In addition, I am hoping Arjun did tell DK that he kept quiet due to Ovi's legal issues, when DK and Arjun had the talk after DK's arrival from Australia (with masked dialogues).
Also DK did ask Arjun to keep quiet until his return because of the sensitivity of the issue. Only thing is he wasn't aware his return would take that long and also he did not foresee things going so out-of-control which was mostly instigated by Punni, (infact no one is still aware of Punni's selfish motives in all these. Humiliating Purvi was just 1 part, the other part was wanting Arjun for herself).
Clearly DK does not think Arjun is at fault, things just happened one after the other.
This is no excuse for Arjun, for keeping quiet due to Ovi's lame(IMO) legal issue which further messed the situation, but as he repeatedly told, she was his friend and he respected her feelings. We ArVians might not see it right, but he wasn't incorrect either. He did know what it is, to be not loved in return/be in a one-sided love, which is why he respected her feelings and did not wanted to burden her with 1 more issue that too of such stature. She had put a hold to her career for him and he knew how important a career is to an individual.
I was sure Archana did not intent to throw Purvi out of the house, she merely asked her to get out of her sight. Today it was also clear that she was aware that Purvi has gone out (to think over the matter which from time-to-time even Archana does) and expected her to come back home after that. [And Purvi the good girl that she is,(as I hoped), did come back home.]
But, what baffles me is Archana's jumping into conclusions blindly. She has been doing that repeatedly - at the bday party, then at D house after the bday party, then claiming that Arjun is cheating both the girls when she slapped Purvi. Then today again with Ovi.
1st of all, Ovi has told Archana numerous times not to get involved with her issues. Again, today she spared not a thought on why a person like DK would support his son if he was wrong? There was no reason for her to console Ovi or make her see the truth of Arjun, which she herself isn't aware of. There was no need of her to interfere , that too with her blind thoughts and pass a judgement on Arjun that he doesn't deserve either of the girls.
For Manav, his world resolves around his daughters, the sole reason of his survival for 18 yrs, with a life without his beloved. Though Manav's anger at the revealation and the turn of events is justified, the physical display of it (slap, shove, humilation in public) cannot be justified with what-so-ever reasons. Being a successful businessman and being far way in Canada for 18 years, did not teach a thing in civility! Alas!
Manav now needs to make Ovi understand that Arjun after all is a human and not a priceless possession that she could walk around as a trophy. The girl doesn't even want to see the normal truth that Teju sees. Teju is also angry at Archana and everything to do with Archana, which includes Purvi. But that is besides the whole issue that she sees in Arjun - However busy a person could be, she does see the lack of lover's feelings in Arjun towards Ovi.
The day Arjun disclosed about Purvi to DK, I was wondering how come DK never asked if Purvi too loves him? More so, after Arjun's revelation, it would have made Ovi's love a one-sided stroy and also the fact he was aware that Arjun had admitted that he did not love Ovi (before Arjun came to India.) It seemed if DK has this superiority feeling about his son that he doesn't want to ask about Purvi, but today that concern was laid to rest for me - DK did assume Purvi loved Arjun too. He trusted his son's choice and also that it wasn't a one-sided love. Though he was correct in his assumption, it could be termed as a blind trust in his son, similar to Archana's on her daughter. But the difference is DK doesn't harp about his Sanskaars or his good genes when he trusts his son.
I noticed that the camera had Sachin in the background in several scenes. Sachin was a witness to Arjun-Purvi's initial relation. He was aware how they used to fight like a snake and a mongoose and how they could never see eye-to-an-eye. Would he realize that Arjun and Purvi fell in love just like that, and that it wasn't anything planned and strategized by either Arjun or Purvi and hence no one was cheating? I know I am asking for too much, but then I would definitely want to see his thoughts on this whole issue. Only thing that the CVs revealed was that he wouldn't support Ovi in her obssessive behavior, which is a great relief!
The real motive of Punni is unknown to anyone so far and even Arjun doesn't seem to understand the gravity of Punni's actions (MMS and all). He thinks Punni is right when she revealed that Arjun is involved with Purvi and thinks that it is Archana who is misunderstaing Punni's actions as just acts of humiliation against Purvi. For him, she doesn't seem to be any threat like Vinay was and hence would he still retain her in the office? I would want her to be fired, but that would mean the end of Punni in the story ...
The scene between DK & Arjun was really warm. Arjun was so glad to hear what DK had to say - that he does not want to separate 2 lovers, how he understood the whole situation, that he will support the couple all the way and accept Purvi as his DIL. Not separate 2 lovers is what DK wants even with Manav and Archana. That smile on Arjun's face at the end was so endearing.
DK's supportive hand over Archana was a really nice gesture, but not sure if it is going to have any effect on Archana.
BTW, RD looked very fresh in today's episode. Anyone else felt it?
About the precap, I too think that they would hug and console each other with some kisses, in addition to some initial protests from Purvi still doubtful about the support from her loved ones and uncertain about the future.
Anyway, this week's has been really good episodes. Complete drama. If these do not fetch the TRPs, then it is a hint to the CVs that they need wrap this story up. The story seems to be just standing on the bare minimum plot of non-disclosure of the real facts. Just tie in the loose ends and be done with it. However cute Arjun-Purvi are and however sweet their love story is and will be, a story should always leave the audience with a desire to see the characters more and with a feeling that could last for a long time, not beat the crap out of everything dragging unnecessarily leaving a bad taste in the mind.
