Hi Kalapi,
I am not letting Archana or Manav off the hook for what happened today. My point is, even if Purvi is being rubbed into her face all the time, I think it is Ovi's responsibility to talk to her husband and move away with him. Pointing fingers at someone when your marriage is not working, doesn't make sense. It is between Arjun and Ovi and if she thinks Purvi is coming in between, it is still between her and Arjun to save some "vamp" from coming in between them. When he own husband doesn't seem to care, she can't be excused for throwing temper tantrums, which are very unlady like.
If I was in Ovi's shoes, I would have never put this deal forth, and would have tried and made some point with my husband and if it was evident he was besotted with his ex lover, I would have walked out of this marriage to save my self-respect. But blaming a third person in a marriage is really not the solution. You can blame people, but if Purvi really is the villain here, there will be many such women, Komolika, Mandira and Punni types who will jump in for Arjun. Is ovi going to throw temper tantrums all the time and blame them without seeing the husband's folly?
Throwing food away in the manner that Ovi did, is considered quite disrespectful where I come from, as much as doing a living shraddha of someone is concerned. We pray to Annapurna before every meal and thank her for giving us food while so many others in the world go hungry. I would have been slapped by my mother for behaving this way in front of a mehmaan and inappropriately throwing the food on the floor.
If Purvi is expected to be grown up and realize that she needs to move away to a different city and get a career moving ahead, Ovi is no child either, much more she is a married woman and has her husbands honor to look at as well.
Farukh bhai came in, said hi and I think pretty much introduced himself. And he wasn't supposed to know the situation before hand. He got an invite for Arjun-Purvi, was out of town and did not know about the new situation. So, I think it was totally fine for him to assume Purvi as Mrs. Kirloskar. Also, when he introduced himself, Arjun came forth and asked him about his whereabouts and everyone else smiled in accordance when he spoke about his time with Arjun working under him. He was in a hurry seemingly because he did not even come inside the house, simply wished the couple and was in for a rude shock by the behavior of Ovi. He also seemingly apologized and left immediately without waiting for a tamasha to unfold. I don't think that is nautanki giri. If everyone who comes in and says "anything" that goes against Ovi's character is considered a nautanki, then Ovi should live in an igloo with Arjun and not get out. Everyone will not be so kind about her, her marriage or anything else.
There are reasons why CV's portray Ovi to have these uncalled for outbursts, and they are the same as their reasons on showing Arjun as a salivating jeeja after saali and ofcourse the seductress saali still having hots for jeeja. Like I said, everone pays their dues and if Arjun - Purvi are so critized, Ovi is no holy saint either. My POV strictly.
And yes, god is god for me, I don't differentiate between the insults meted out to one god vs another. I am not pointing fingers here, just giving you a basis for why I said what I said.
