But i don't think she has connected dots, that the secret she is keeping about Sachin's demands has anything to do with Teju's anger and rejection. After all Teju's (and Ovi's and Manav's) reaction has nothing to do with Sachin or Shravani. It's directed solely at Archana.. She is a bad person they say. A selfish woman. A bad mother. She has internalized these things for so long, more than the 18 years, that she also believes it. this is why she can't act. This is why she can't defend herself and tell the truth. She believes the lie. She believes she is bad because everyone in the D family except for Damo and Vandu (who are both worthless towards her) has told her so. Once in a while she breaks out of her shell and says things to Ovi like "as long as i am here one more month i will interfere in your life whether you like it or not"... but most of the time she is under the spell of those who tell her she's a bad person. And she's under the spell of loving Manav...whom she believes will, in the end, still rescue her and be her prince charming.
He wont'. But i think it's too late for Archana. She has nothing left to give. She isn't a bad mother imo Tanya. She loves her children, but i think she didn't know how to love them. I'm not sure if I had a Savita and a Manav hurling things at me all the time, i would know how to love my children either. especially if they were taken far away and i was told never ever to contact them again. Maybe i too would believe it was in the best interest of the children, because it must be true that i am bad. I would have to be the strongest of women to overcome that. Maybe i wouldn't/couldn't be.
my humble opinion Tanya dear ...although i do see why you say what you do..
.i guess i ended up being more of an Archana supporter than i ever thought i would be. 😲 😆
