I don't believe that 'feelings' should upset one's life . ' Love ' is a feeling and trust me its not eternal at all but very transitory . It 's marraige that is eternal [ at least it was in the generation above me .divorces are rampant today .]
Marriage channelises this transitory emotion that can create chaos in society .
Marraige , then divorce , then remarry is not for me . For me it is no gudda guddi ka khel .
Should one stay in a loveless marrige then ?
My answer to this is at 22 Arjun knows nothing of life or eternal love . What Archana said was correct ...give it time .
I agree with Varsha when she says that there should be divorces when there is domestic abuse etc . But if he is a good proivider , if your in laws are understanding like DK and all he has is a previous love affair ...try and work on it .
India is replete with successful arranged marraiges and I believe that it is an Indian serial they are showing .
If the message of this serial is 'love' is eternal and break a marraige for this eternal feeling , sorry , I don't agree as its the institution of marraige that is / was eternal not at all a human feeling . Infact human feelings change rapidly .
Marraige , as sherma says is the union of 2 families . As i see it , the 2 families r happy .
I also don't agree that it was a 'forced' marraige . Anybody can give you any amounts of deals and temptations to break off will you take them . If it truly was 'love' you will tell your fiancee and you will reject it as a team .
It was accepted willy nilly and if they now go back on it saying 'oh we were foolish and this is now love' it is insulting this great institution .
If force was used ...it was used by Purvi who used her hold on him to make him do her bidding . She did not even catch his eye during his marraige to Ovi ...he was constantly looking at her hoping she will change her mind .
Ovi had given up ...nobody was listening to her . It was Purvi who phoned her after mulling on it .
Marraiges have little or nothing to do with infatuations or these love stories . Infact arrange marraiges and love marriges sail in the same boat after children are born and the honeymoon is over . They simply become 'marraiges' which entail many responsibility .
These eternal love stories then become an indulgent memory of youth when one is alone and the family goes out .😆
