Shyamala Aunty - I really do want to be like you when I grow up 😃

You have an keen eye for discerning the obscure and a finesse for making your observations palatable and convincing. You are my rockstar ⭐️

I hurriedly watched this episode online today and it was as I expected. I appreciated Ovi's subtle malevolence towards Purvi and Archana (Shruti did a fantastic job on her role) and her ability to turn a phrase - meri Arjun and meri aai who sacrificed her 18 years of happiness for you - all masterful parries to which Purvi has yet to give a befitting reply.

As I watched it again tonight on the telly, I couldn't help but wonder just what Purvi would do. She seems a smart girl that loves her aai more than anything and would trade all her happiness in the world to give her her family back but there was a picayune feeling lingering in the back of my mind (yes,it can be chalked up to foolish hope too 😆)

That feeling was (drumroll please...😆) - Newton's Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. (Yes, my mind works in mysterious ways 🤣)

Purvi will find a way not only to give Ovi what she wants but to make it work in her own favour.

Purvi loves her mother but she is also not willing to give up on Arjun. If she agrees to Ovi's plan, she would have neither (if the bargain is fulfilled) so its a no win situation for her. If all goes true to course and she shares this with Arjun then they can work this out in the best way for all concerned.

I maybe saddened along with the rest of the romantics in the forum if the CVs take Purvi's character in the opposite direction but, for now, I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt that she will not compromise her Arjun for Ovi.

A fool's paradise - I know - but it's nice out here... white, sandy beaches... 😆

Shyamala.. Like DID Master.. I stand up and give u the salute.. excellent post/analysis

Purvi/Asha has acted very well today..very good job.

Precap is definitely Purvi's dream. Savitha has a broad smile.

I really feel bad for Arjun..he has to do so much to prove his worthiness for Purvi and just like that she ditches(almost) him believing this CC's words..

In one angle, Ovi is a perfect girl for Arjun..She has unconditional love/obsession for him. She won't hesitate to befriend or fight with anybody(even her Dad) to get her Arjun.

I should appreciate CVs for today's episode.. they have turned Ovi into a perfect business woman..she will seal the deal with Purvi.. made perfect setting for Purvi to listen to her, melted her heart with perfect adjective/tone and If Purvi doesn't agree with this and get married to Arjun..she wont be in peace. Ovi made it a lose-lose situation for Purvi.

Eventually will be till 3 episodes before the Grand Finale I dont think I have that much patience unless the Finale is next week.

btw.. Looks like LMYAM is an interesting one..Let me use WU to follow the show..No Subtitles I think.

Laurie, sweetheart,

That is the single nicest thing anyone has ever said to me!

As for the rest, you love words and they love you back, so your posts are always a very special read.

But however much I might want Newton's Third Law to apply in this case, and however much I might hope that "she shares this with Arjun then they can work this out in the best way for all concerned", I cannot see, firstly, her doing any such sharing, for she would be afraid that Arjun would react very strongly and bulldoze her into going ahead with the marriage regardless. There is also the almost immutable Commandment in PR: Thou shall never be frank with anyone thou lovest.

Secondly, WHAT can the two of them do to unravel this Gordian knot? I cannot think of anything, but then my poor brain is already reeling under overload and is probably not up to its usual standard of cohesive thought. So what would you do?

She cannot marry him without a single backward thought about the lost chance for Archana. That is simply not on the cards, as I have written above to Janhvi. If she did marry him under these circumstances, she would be so unhappy ,and would make him so frustrated, that it would have been better for them not to have married at all.

Then again, she is at bottom a trusting soul, and if she agreed to Ovi's offer, she would feel sure that Ovi's promise would be kept. To tell you the truth, I think it would be. She will then of course lose Arjun, and you feel she will lose her mother as well as she will go off to Canada.

So you conclude that Purvi will not go for this no win option, but what you forget, Laurie, is that Purvi is not thinking of winning at all, or indeed about herself. She would be perfectly content to live here with Sulochana, with her heart warmed by the glow of self-sacrifice and the certitude that her mother is safely ensconced in the bosom of her family. That is what I meant by Archana lite.

In all this, I feel desperately sorry for only one person, and that is Arjun. All the others - Ovi, Purvi, Archana, Manav - are looking out for what they want, for themselves or for others. If things go badly wrong for them, it is largely of their own choosing. Only Arjun seems to have no say in his own fate. For him, even if he marries Purvi without any hitch, it is going to be a Pyrrhic victory. Or a Dead Sea fruit, take your choice!

Shyamala Aunty.

PS: Just enjoy the sea and the sand and the surf, and put PR on the backburner for the duration of your holidays!

Hi Shyamala,

Loved your analysis 👏 ...i don't follow the show but visit forum once in a while to know what's happening...last time i visited here you had written a piece about Purvi's kidnapping and had said that you'l be away from forum till month end. I came today online to see if you were back and what a nice piece of writing i got to enjoy today 😃 thank you for that 👏

ungal post romba nalla irk 😉

I mean every word sincerely and if ever you were to write your memoirs I would be first in line to get my very own autographed copy! I am fan girl #1 😃

What I would do is completely off the CVs radar and brash by most standards. 🤣

I would eloquently thank Ovi in front of the entire clan for her offer of solely ensuring aai's happiness when no one else could and then I would rehash 'the terms of our agreement to make sure that I understood them correctly'.

Next, I would turn to Arjun (Oooh I like this part ) and would ask him, "Well love, what do you think about that sweet deal? You for aai's happiness?"

Of course he would be in shock and wouldn't be able to say anything 😆 so I would then go up to aai, give her a quick hug, bring her over to my side. I would turn around and say, "You would barter your mother's love for your own selfish gain? Please don't trouble yourself. I will make sure that aai gets the happiness she's been deprived of these past eighteen years while getting the respect she deserves! Oh and thank you all for coming to my wedding. Please enjoy the party!"

Then I would take Arjun's hand and lead him to the mandap ☺️ 🤣

There! How's that for Laurie style? 🤣

I agree, if Arjun has to browbeat Purvi into marrying him then it really isn't worth the effort. He has come up aces in all this trials and we've only seen subtle gestures from her but she's fought her own battles for him.

If the CVs show Purvi as sacrificing it all to save her mother's marriage then they would have completely butchered her character. Previously, she's found clever ways to get the ideal resolution to difficult situations without degrading/disrespecting others so why not now? Why can't she do the same for her aai and for the man she loves?

I have faith that she won't hang him out to dry, if I'm wrong so be it! What can I say? Hope springs eternal! 😃

Dear bee,

Let me start with the nice part. Of course I am watching the DID Superkids religiously. They have saved me from the withdrawal symptoms I was fearing would set in after the Grand Finale on Aug 12 (here in Pune too) which was most enjoyable, despite all the corny and repetitive jokes and the over grand ensemble dances where the L'il Masters were dwarfed in size. The results were fine, for my Om came first runner up, and nothing could have been better for me, unless it was the sight of him and Akshay Kumar walking in tandem on their hands, or that of the ecstatic Prince, for once, falling to his knees and doing a proper namaskar out of sheer gratitude to the janata.

Reverting to the Superkids, when I look at most the DID LM Ist season kids, they resemble Ram Kapoor in that there is about 50% too much of them, especially Rituraj. And their skipper Mayuresh (?) looks like an ambulant wardrobe. I prefer the current crop by far, but it is all great fun.

Now for PR, my post, yesterday's episode, and your comments. The trouble is, bee, that I agree with you so much that it would be too much to itemise. But I will try all the same.

1a) I think it would have been forbidden for Arjun to watch the chudi ceremony, which is strictly a women's affair. I suppose he agreed on a time, after it was over, to pick her up for a drive, which is why she says that she was waiting for him, in one of her hardy old outfits. Maybe she had a premonition about the rain!.

1b) The chawl gossip tack was ridiculous, as you have stressed. I too thought the only plus point in the whole of that was your choice as well, the fairly sharp remark that Arjun makes to her about his being very happy but he does not know about her, ending with an exhortation Then smile!.

It would be tiresome for any man to be tied to such a doom and gloom girl, a watering pot in the making, exactly like her mother. She will never be happy, for there will always be something or the other concerning her blessed parivaar, and seeing that he is obsessed with her, she will never let him be happy either.

1c) That took the cake, the bloomer about the auto. I was laughing so much at it, and wanted to incude it in the very end as a titbit for laughs, but it slipped my mind, and in any case the post was already long enough! I suppose they wanted to keep Arjun away for the grand Ovi-Purvi scene, but it is inconceivable that Arjun would let her go home in an auto!

2. I have covered this in detail in the Archana-Purvi section in the post, but I loved your very apt comparison with that scene between Manasi and her mother in yesterday's LMYAM. But then LMYAM is about people who could very well be real, who talk as people do in real life, unlike the cardboard cutouts that seem to populate PR,mouthing sanskaari lines or shrieking at each other and slapping each other. Just see the scenes where Rajalakshmi Sisodia is chewing Sahil out, or ticking off poor blameless Anoop earlier for allegedly 'training' his brother all wrong! She is furious, but she never loses either control or her dignity.

3. Of course I am happy to get such a solid recruit to my 'precap is real' camp, but even if it is not, as I have explained above, it changes nothing as far as Purvi's options and her likely course of action are concerned.

Finally, as for the affidavit question, yes, it is Archana who first names Purvi, she being the usual suspect in these matters. As for Manav not regarding Purvi as his daughter, you are correct there. Moreover, he does not call her beti. What he calls her is beta, which is the generic term used for all young people of either gender by their elders, and it does not imply any relationship.

I agree that if she jettisons Arjun now, for reasons I need not elaborate, she would not deserve a love as deep and unselfish as his. But bee, what about him? The poor boy would have done nothing to deserve such a turn. I have already written too much in this strain, so I shall desist from pursuing it any further,

Shyamala

Shyamala,

I hope you are watching the DID Dance ke Superkids show.

Guys,
Here are the promos for this weekend's show -

Now coming to PR -
1. What a pathetic pathetic episode it was, technically -
a. After the chuda (or chudi) rasm (Bangle Ceremony), Purvi and Arjun are shown going in a car. So Arjun did not come to meet her when the ceremony was going on. In yday's episode she had told she was getting ready and hence could not pick his call earlier. So she changed from Saree to Chudidhaar before he came!

b. Purvi tells Arjun what the chawl walle ladies gossiping about her. There was no such scene shown to us. They didn't shoot this scene thinking Purvi's words are enough to convey the message to the audience or did they edit out? Or did they think that it totally is irrelevant? Bcos this is the same chawl folks for whom initially Purvi denies loving Arjun after he confesses. My point is - Doesn't Purvi have enough issues already that this stupid, non-sense issue had to be put in just to make them talk on something in the car, since there is nothing else the writers can come up with, to have Arjun-Purvi talk?

c. Arjun-Purvi are in the car, finished with their talks and it rains. They go out. Get drenched to say "Thank You" to the Rain God(!) and then what? ThenPurvi comes home in an Auto Rickshaw! What the heck was that? Why was the entire rain scene added then? Looked completely ridiculous.

2. Archana once again nullifying her talks. She was supposed to give the girl courage, but instead she is always crying about her own problems and saying things that totally do not mean what she says! She just makes the girl feel guilty and pathetic. This is not how a mother should talk to a girl distraught and worried about uncertainties. Go watch the scene between Mansi and her mother in LMYAM when Mansi is worried about an issue. These people in PR want to just cry cry and cry all the time and revel in their miseries.

3. The online video I watched did not have the complete precap, but going by Shyamala's description. What I think is that it doesn't necessarily have to be a dream scene. It could very well be a real scene. Ovi might be showing Purvi a sample of what she is going to give her Aai if she agrees to her deal. As far how the entire D clan could make an appearance at that Party, again it could be bcos of Ovi. She might have shown an happy face to Manav and the rest of the family and convinced them to attend the party saying that she has gotten over with Arjun and hence want to be part of their happiness. If it really is a dream, then CVs, we do have people who are right in-step with you and know your plans!


The only good part in today's episode - Arjun point-blank stating to Purvi that "I love you and I want to marry you as I am happy with you, whether it is the same with you or not, I don't know.". Bravo Arjun for saying that out today!!!

Jai,
I don't know why you say Archana has zero self-respect? I don't think it is true. Ovi can never be compared to Archana. Archana's mistakes are just that she doesn't prioritize things correctly. But Ovi very well knows what she wants and how to get it, either by hook or by crook (Laurie, they are ur words, but it just fits for Ovi perfectly).


Gals, remind me, in yday episode, When it is said that your daughter has filed an affidavit, wasn't it Archana who tells Purvi's name before Manav? 1st of all, Manav doesn't think Purvi as his daughter at all, though he addresses her as 'beti'. It was very evident in the court during Vishnu's case. Next, since Archana says Purvi's name aloud, Manav too picks on that name since what happened between him & Purvi the night before.


Like you Shyamala, I had written way back, that Arjun loves her so much and all Purvi has to do is accept that love (and not discard or disregard it). But if like her Aai, who always takes wrong decisions, she too want to take wrong decisions, what can be said more than that she doesn't deserve that love?

-Bee.

As always shymalaji - good job in analyzing the show today. I must say, wanted to read your analysis first before watching the show and the read was much much better than the show itself.

I would like to mention my fave scene today that Purvi enacted sooo well! That is when Ovi puts forward the deal about Arjun... Her first reaction was like as if her own life was being asked of her... Was so beautifully done by Purvi. She looked so lifeless as if her breath was knocked out of her :( which indeed is true, Ovi did ask for Purvi's life in return for her mom's happiness.

I also think the precap is a dream... purvi looked lovely! Like the Mrs. AK :)
