Kool 🤗, will write my short piece since I miss coming here and discussing with you all. Archana's flip-flop nature is inherent in her character, it cannot be changed and it will no be-because nobody points it out to her and that it's wrong. In this case, I will blame everyone from sulochana, manav and savita to the kids who are all literally on their knees trying to please her instead of bluntly asking what's with the sudden change in attitude. Just like archana, sulochana and purvi are to blame for enabling manju's deeds more than manju herself.
What's with purvi though? When she was kidnapped and then rescued leaving her baba behind, she seemed out of her wits; which is of course natural. She was scraed facing soham and the other kidnappers later in jail and outside-again natural. What's unnatural is her stand since she came to know vishnu is soham. If she felt so safe in his care when she was kidnapped, why did she bother to come back instead of reforming the "accha baccha" vishnu. After all, her reformist tendencies were already fully developed. Why did she allow manav to handover all his hardearned money to rescue her; and why did she run with arjun instead of asking him to join her in the car while vishnu carefully dropped them all home after getting his money. It's carzy and unnatural and oh so unreal! Ovi's, teju's, arjun's and Manav's reactions are much more normal; though I would have liked to see the manav who went so crazy after he lost soham the last time. His reactions then were so much more real; maybe he thought he had lost soham for good and that's why he doesn't seem to care as much about him now? No idea; even with their crazy and weak characterizations, the CVs should atleast make them consistent and based on prior behaviors.
Anyways, I think Sachu is the only one who realistically can and should bond with soham-atleast in the beginning. He's the only one among the Deshmukhs who did not have a negative interaction with soham as he is now-- ovi was kidnapped but escaped, purvi was kidnapped and held at ransom, manav and archana both held at gunpoint and teju witnessing the latter scene-- only Sachu didn't actually experience this kind of emotional turmoil that realistically a person goes through who suffered through it. Even hearing about it later is not the same as being an eye-witness. Among the siblings, he was also the only one who actually had a connection and bonded with soham before everything went to hell. It makes Sachu the natural choice that he feels the brotherly bond he actually shared and developed with soham--not purvi who should only be feeling fear and disgust (not because she is adopted but because of her interactions with him-similar to ovi's and teju's feelings about soham). Btw, I do think Soham deserves a chance- several chances actually. He acts the way he has been brought up, and does the only things he has seen other people do. It really is arman's fault that they were not able to protect him and give him the lifestyle he deserved--if then he made a choice to go criminal, he totally deserves jailtime, their disgust and all the lectures in the world 😆 Not now. What he deserves is the truth, time and space--and some kind of a familial tie with his estranged family, maybe Sachu. Would love to see their bonding.
Well, my short piece turned into an essay as usual😆. Felt great posting here again though 😳
Happy Diwali all!
