Shyamala
Your post made me laugh especially Teju the beanpole .ššš Yes it was very comical , the following of Varsha . Very very comical .š
Regarding Arjun . I don't like what they are doing to his characterization at all . They can give him some very power packed dialogues and show him as a disillusioned man and him returning to being a professional but no . They are butchering him at the cost of showing that only Purvi has all the sanskaars not the Canada returned businessman who is otherwise a prize catch for his wealth .
It is strange but the very wealth that is frowned down upon by the leading ladies in this serial is the hall mark of the lead heroes and the leading heroines roam in AC cars or go on shopping sprees .
Also the wealth is earned only by the men not by the ladies . The ladies upwardly give no importance to it but plonk their each crisis on the men and solve each crisis of theirs using the men's money .
Not a single character in this show pulls up the leading ladies for this hypocrisy .
This show is extremely unfair to the leading men ...be it Manav or Arjun . Their only job is to run like puppy dogs after the leading ladies ,leave their families , wealth and parents and responsibilities for them and this is projected as 'love' in this serial .
A question comes to my mind . These serials are primarily for ladies . Do ladies really swallow this ?
Yes they do ...they love romance . It is a good timepass . But if one thinks ...although the females would love having a man this besotted by them they would also hate seeing their sons and brothers behave this way . There are two sides to a woman .
We see a scene ...finally some of us are read and a scene is put in . Archana admits briefly and hesitatantly that indeed it was her mistake to not listen to her husband and give her child to her sick sister .
But immediately we see Manav drowning her admission by reinforcing that he had done a mistake ...a bigger mistake . When the reality is that the man had done no mistake . The false case on him and the loss of his child were all Archana's doing and the least she could do was apologise genuinely for her mistake . We as viewers did not expect much and we never got to see it .
Same in the Arjun Purvi love story . Purvi bartered him . Purvi has done no tyaag . Ovi may be the villain but she showed Purvi up . But we don't see Arjun even realising this . What do we see ...he thinikng she is simply wonderful and running after her.
When Arjun first arrived in India and was met at the company gates with threats of a case and a strike by Purvi he told her coldly but politely that they could discuss this in his cabin instead of the compound of his company . I had found Purvi lacking in decorum then and everything that he suggested as correct . The CVs showed it as his arrogance but he was right . It was she who was wrong . She handled the retrenchment issue all wrong and even now she is the major culprit in this barter .
His fault was his weakness for her . That is a human failing .They could have shown him rising above his weakness and realising some hometruths and telling Purvi exactly what he felt ...they could have shown him working again to get away from it all . But they are hell bent on destroying the male lead and projecting the female lead who has done wrong as ' sanskaari' . This is the speciality of this show .
