Dear kool,
I am with you 100%.
Janhvi, Ovi is what Ovi has always been, and she does not even have the smarts to put on a suitably chastened look at the reception for Arjun's benefit. She is a besotted, greedy, grasping idiot, who think she can transmute fool's gold into the real thing.But what of Purvi? It is the Deewaar quotation with which I opened this thread, all over again.
She was Arjun's life and his dream. HOW could she not just do this, but as I have stated time and again above, and as Kool has reiterated, HOW could she do this with such unfeeling ruthlessness and brutality?
She abandoned and crushed Arjun without a second thought, and even now, she does not feel a jot of pain for HIS suffering. That much was clear from the Friday scene between them. Nor does her aai, blathering on and on and on about her mahaan tyaag not just at home but at the reception at well, to everyone she can find. She never gives a thought to the idiotic sacrificial lamb of whom her mahaan beti has made halaal so thoroughly.
Janhvi, let me quote your "Ovi does not love Arjun'. Loving would be wanting to see him happy at all costs, much like a parent that would sacrifice all to see his/her child happy. There is no remorse for what she has done, no empathy for his suffering, she is excited and happy she got what she wanted. That is selfish to the core and selfishness is the very antithesis of love" back at you.
Just replace Ovi by Purvi, and "excited and happy" by " satisfied if unhappy", and what do you have? A perfect fit for Purvi today, totally convinced that she has done no wrong. Of course not, for Arjun is expendable and does not count.
No, Arjun is not equally at fault for fulfillling Purvi's part of the deal. That followed, as the night follows the day, from what he is - a man who has lost all sense of self, and all self-respect, for the love of this girl. Rarely does one see a man falling in love so thoroughly.
He is in fact more at fault, but not for that. What he is at fault for is falling in love with her in the first place. Perhaps I am wrong in trying to save him from you, for I am not sure he has got over this folly or ever will.
Don't worry, this is a serial where the first, and in fact the only virtue is sacrificing others, either per se or as collateral damage (as when Archana dumps Teju, Ovi, Manav and Purvi for Sachin, 4:1 ratio, better than the US troops in Afghanistan), and then making out, very successfully, that you were the victim and deserved a halo.Manav is now apparently going to fall at Archana's beautifully pedicured feet, painted toe nails at all, and beg pardon for ever having blamed her for anything since Anno Domini 1 - including her nearly sending him in or a long jail term in the chawl demolition case, and her role in the death (so they all think) of Soham. He has already started on the second, which has now been downgraded, as Jyothi once pointed out, to a haadsa (accident). He will have arrived at the first as well come Monday.
So, as a good damaad, Arjun will also presently unclench his jaw and, with tears in his eyes, fall at Purvi's feet (admittedly not as pretty as Archana's, as the PR team cannot afford pedicures for her, not to speak of any decent outfits, and she is already back to her regulation maroon and brown set, while her aai swans around in see thru white organdy and diamonds).
He will duly beg pardon for even having dared to criticise her for her tyaag or for having complained that she broke all her vaade.After all, they were made mostly by shaking her head, and are thus deniable at will- he just misunderstood which way she was shaking it! Archana, Jyothi, Laurie, I know it is frightful but I begin to feel it in my bones, alas!😭😭😭
Then Purvi will be duly hoisted on to the pedestal built for her by the PR team, where her aai is already enthroned, and the duo will bless us all.
Kool, you are spot on with your "she has got badly in his system while he is last on her priority list", which is pretty much what I have been repeating for the nth time to my unfortunate readers. But what are we doing here analysing this junk? I don't know about you, but I have had enough for the present, and am off to salvage what is left of my Sunday.
Janhvi, relax. You do not even have to chase Arjun and beat him up. He will do it himself very soon, like the albino monk in the Da Vinci Code. Manav will show him the way, and by now, the brief flare up of hope in us unfortunate PAPers yesterday, about the return of AK, notwithstanding. This is PR, after all, and strong men are as out of place here as a T-Rex would be, so saare lakshaan aise hi nazar aa rahe hain (all the signs point that way).
DK will join in as the chorus, singing hosannas to the Teen Deviyan (apologies to the late Dev Anand). He is already doing so for Sulochana and Archana, all he has to do is to add Purvi to the pantheon. Come to think of it, it is entirely appropriate. Hamari to hamesha trimurti hi hoti hai (we always have a trinity).
Bye folks, and may we all survive the next week in reasonably good shape. And may I gain the strength, not just to last thru it, but to do what Arjun should have done, walk off without a backward glance.
