Jyothi,
It might have been harsh of Manav to reply to Arjun in that fashion in front of Purvi, but it was also plain silly of Arjun to talk to Manav in that fashion to start with. He should have anticipated the response. Forcing himself on Manav, when it is obvious that Manav cannot stand the sight of him (and Purvi) now, was bound to be counterproductive.
Manav has in fact already made it amply clear that he wants to have nothing to do with Arjun and/or Purvi. Arjun should have respected that and had the good sense to leave him alone. He could have contented himself with a smile and a polite nod, instead of inviting a blighting snub. And if Arjun had not been snubbed today, I am sure Purvi would have trotted over to fall at Manav's feet with a ringing exclamation of 'Baba!'
I also do not understand it being said quite often that Purvi was accepted by Manav as his daughter. She is
not his daughter, and just because he was kind to her in at an entirely different time and in an entirely different context, he cannot now be expected to accept the Arjun-Purvi love affair and marriage, and be cordial to them. Ovi, however much he might deplore her obsession withArjun, would always come first for him, and that is entirely understandable. He did whatever was necessary at the time of the kidnapping, displaying both courage and generosity, but this was largely out of a sense of guilt that Purvi had been kidnapped in Ovi's place, and not because he cared for her
per se. In fact, even before the kidnapping, when Purvi goes to touch his feet at the
dahi handi event, he draws them back slightly.
If I was Purvi, I would have the sensitivity to be more reticent, and not behave as though all was already hunky dory with Manav. She seems to have no perception at all of what he is feeling, when she asks Archana whether he is not coming for her engagement. I think he sends the saree that time purely as a gesture to Archana, not for Purvi.
The other thing was the way in which the PR writers butcher the law. It is not funny. Today, in the precap, Vishnu's lawyer is having Balan call on Varsha to testify as to Vishnu's impeccable character! As though a character certificate from his mother would nullify the eye witness testimony from any number of people. But perhaps in PR, it can, who knows. And we have to sit and watch all this rubbish. It is another matter that Varsha has gone AWOL, for entirely understandable reasons of her own, leaving Vishnu desperately worried.
Earlier, I could not understand why Purvi, on spotting Vishnu, who is standing with Varsha waiting for the court proceedings to start, was marching towards Vishnu till she was stopped by Arjun and led away. Probably the Stockholm syndrome acting up. 😉The expression on her face was decidedly strange, but unlike what Arjun assumed, she was
not afraid of Vishnu. Nor was she at all conscious of Varsha; it was only Vishnu whom she was approaching, in a steady, unbroken movement. Very odd.
Vishnu's
kasam on his
mayee's head not to harm Purvi and her family seems to have already evaporated into thin air, for contrary to what he affirmed so dramatically at the temple steps the other day, today he is shown telling his
mayee that he will 'take care' of both Purvi and Arjun once the case is over.
Maybe the CVs have forgotten about the
kasam, for even Varsha is not seen pulling him up with reference to it. What are the PR brand
sanskaars coming to if a
beta can break his
mayee ki kasam without a second thought?
Ghor kaliyug hai, kaliyug!! (It is the height - or depth- of Kaliyug).
The Archana-Vishnu confrontation scene was well done, and even the cocky chap is a bit unnerved at the idea of getting a mother's
baddua and the prospect of going to jail. I hope he does. His childhood memories must be very faint by now, but he was about 4 at that time, and some children can remember things even from that age. For Vishnu, a long forgotten memory of Archana is surfacing now, blurred and troubling, like a figure glimpsed thru a mist.

For once, I have nothing to say about today's episode ... nice.. 😆...
Ofcourse, just a one liner... Very little of Manav to say that in front of Purvi ...
