Jyothi, We all know that this is coming.. we knew this last week.. why didnt we start that possible career for Arjun thread last week..I very much wanted him to be a Marketing guy (medical rep or call center guy or even a car sales guy would do..) I can never picture Arjun/RD as a mechanic. I think Ekta has Sets for a Mechanic from PR 1 so she may reuse stuff.. (cost cutting!!!!)

ArMan story when manav was a mechanic..was one of the greatest moment and exciting story of the show.
You obviously just started watching PR.

It probably was, as you said, one of the greatest moment and exciting story of the show at that time. But, not suited to Arjun - Purvi at all..The CV's did this to probably draw a parallel so Archana can be happy...which is beyond my comprehension...That is all we are saying..

RD would have favored this mechanic job role compared to ARJUN DK role so that he can get away from three layer clothing. Now he can even wear shorts.

Jyoti,

The point here is not just the very limited imagination of the CVs, it is also the credibility of Arjun as a mechanic.

What does he know about the innards of a car? He would never have bothered to look under the hood of a car, never having had either the time or the inclination for it. In that 'masala chai for Purvi in the rain' scene they showed recently, when the chauffeur says that something is wrong and he will look into it, Arjun shows no interest at all in the proceedings, and is merely impatient about the delay.

So now, unless they claim that he did a course in auto repair at college for fun, I cannot see how he is to cope. He will be thrown out on his ear pronto.

The other side of this is that there is practically no white collar job that Arjun can get without any resume or documents to back it up. So it will have to be a blue collar job.

I can bet that Ovi's car will be breaking down every day from now on, once she finds out where he is working. Purvi of course does not have a car, but perhaps she can take him a hot lunch in a thermocole tiffin carrier. As predictable and pedestrian as it can be, alas!

Laurie, Archana, I was quite enchanted by the idea of this being a voyage of self-discovery and self-realisation for Arjun. But now I cannot quite see what Arjun is going to discover about his inner self in a garage, and while being bitten to death by mosquitoes in that kholi. Well, the Buddha starved himself to skin and bone in pursuit of the truth, so perhaps our Arjun can surely donate some blood to the mosquitoes of the Karanjkar chawl. It is all as idiotic as it can get. Another 1000 episodes of this kind, NO way!

Shyamala

Shyamala,

Its Sound Interesting I Don Have Any Prob

I agree with Shyamala, I was intrigued by the idea of Arjun on the path of self realization that Arch suggested, from rich boy to Buddha, I couldn't quite picture it 😆

But this regression to hero worship, resorting to Manav uncle's profession with no training or aptitude smacks of the ridiculous. I guess no better way than this to appease the Mahaanta queen than by emulating her fairy prince of yore, she cannot find fault with the nobility of the profession, cannot degrade or question the value and validity of being a mechanic!! Degrees? Certificates? business school? Who cares for Saraswathi when you are on a mission to garner Lakshmi? Totally idiotic woman, sorry but I have lost all patience with Archana.

And Jyothi, no Manav was not educated, did not speak English in the beginning but then one fine day had such a command over the language that he was ashamed of Archana being unable to speak it. Ashna stepped in to teach her and Archana dazzled Manav with her flow of language and apologized to him in public, so did he for having placed more importance on such trivial stuff over the value of their pavitra rishta!!
Koop mandook is what I would call her attitude now. I am throwing up my hands in sheer frustration!! Come on CVs, you couldn't come up with something more creative and less run of the mill???

Thks Jyoti :)

Couldn't cvs got diff profession for him 🤔

Well, if that is the case, KUDOS to their Pavitra Rishta (pun intended !!)... I just dont want that standard to be applied to ARVI. But, my greatest fear and most possible is that it will be...which will be saddest part of their love story...

if someone says archana manav story yuck they should better check the stats...nobody needs to tell what were they to tv industry ... the show ratings itself tell...
