Dear Kools,
Neat!š My supplementary comments:
- as regards Purvi following in her mom's footsteps and selling/pledging jewellery to meet domestic expenses, she is not a patch on the original. Archana could sell a couple of gold bangles and buy a full diamond set, worth anything up to Rs.10 lakhs, for Ovi's engagement. Some bangles!
- Did you note how sanskaari your Bad Ovi is becoming? I always understood that daughters did not touch the feet of their parents (in North India, that is; down south, where I come from, women do a namaskaram on their knees only on special occasions, while the men do a full length shashtang namaskaram), but Ovi made it a point to touch Archana's feet before getting the prasad. Nice going! I thought she was going to ask for some prasad for your Prince Arjun, for this would be something he could not have refused, but the sanskaars had obviously not seeped in deep enough as yet and this bright idea did not occur to her.
- Vishnu appeared to be underlining his parentage on the maternal side by sporting a fringe that is a carbon copy of the one Archana inflicted on us out of the blue during the Janmashtami celebrations and the kidnapping. One could barely see his eyes.
- As for the gang members still hanging around Mumbai, they must all be subject to the same 'no leaving the city' orders that were imposed on Vishnu, for they were all arrested with him and were bailed out with him.
- I agree with you about Sameer Rane. I always said that he looks what he is, a solid, no nonsense cop. Handsome is as handsome does, and not everyone needs to be handsome anyway. My own favourites were and are Humphrey Bogart, Fred Astaire, and the early Amitabh Bachchan, not one of whom had any pretensions to good looks, or indeed to any looks!
- I wonder if Purvi will accept your Sad Manav's invitation (Jai must be rejoicing, and thumbing his nose at all those who had accused Manav & Archana of being selfish wrt Purvi ) and move in chez les Deshmukhs, probably with Sulochana in tow, for she can hardly leave her to fend for herself.
If she does, that would mean 8 people, and thus at least 32 buckets of water to be hauled upstairs daily. I dare say the ever eager to oblige Purvi and her Sachin dada will take care of all that.
This apart, the sight of this one big happy family around the dining table, including Ovi from time to time, and with Savita lurking behind the curtains, boggles the mind. One hopes that when he gets to know about this, Arjun does not develop a sudden yen for the Deshmukh chawl and land up there every other day! would not put it past either him or the CVs, who probably think that the rise of the TRPs is at least partly due to his Devdas act.
