I watched the SBS segment again and it actually left a bad taste. Not because Arjun slapped Ovi, somebody needed to have done that a long time ago, a lot of heartache would have been saved all around but because in the promo for next week, Ovi looks content and happy, like a cat that got the cream. She has got Arjun and her big tummy, she succeeded in driving Purvi away from everyone including her mother.
In one of my earlier posts when Arjun was serenading Purvi, I had written that Arjun will get away scot free (nursing a broken heart but to all intents and purposes, intact) and Purvi will be left to face the consequences. Arjun being the man, the tycoon he is, and Ovi's husband, no one has yet pointed a finger at him, it is Purvi that is being targeted by Punni, Ovi and even the boss at that temporary job. This is what the leap suggests. After Purvi leaves, perhaps after a sermon to Arjun to forget her and love her sister, Arjun will sacrifice his personal comfort and oh, so great love, and make a baby or two with Ovi to keep Purvi happy.
Arjun and Purvi have reached a point of no return with Ovi's pregnancy. If Ovi's baby is in fact Arjun's, he needs to make a life for himself with Ovi much as it would irk me to see Ovi being rewarded for all her misdeeds and nasty treachery. Perhaps pay back time will come another way, another time, I will take comfort in that Nemesis has a long memory. If it is not Arjun's baby, hallelujah! there is hope for ARVI yet.
I am glad Purvi has found Dr. Onir Dutta. Perhaps they are not really married, perhaps she goes to him to terminate her pregnancy and he convinces her to marry or pretend to be his wife and carry the baby to term. Whatever the reason, I am extremely thankful that she now has a cloak of respectability around her. No one can kick her to the side as "that child that was picked up from the wayside". She is no longer Orphan Annie to be used and cast aside by the rest of the family, she has someone, a husband to protect her, he is of equal stature to the Kirloskars and Deshmukhs and she can hold her head high even if her heart is breaking.
Purvi needed to find a man worth her salt, a man who would shake the living daylights out of her if she even suggested throwing their love to the wolves for some silly notion of her family's happiness, a man who would put her in her place and teach her what real love is all about, a man who would tell the world off and send it reeling, circumspect or not, if they dared to humiliate her. No, not puppy love that is ready to give up to "prove" love itself, or love that is ready to be a good husband to her sister under the guise of still loving her and doing it for her sake. To use Shyamala's words, Purvi needs a man not a pajama and I fervently hope she has found one in Dr.Onir Dutta.
Disclaimer: It is not that I like Arjun less, it is that I like Purvi more. He has it made, a cushy job, a "nice' wife, a great life!! She on the other hand has been chucked out into the cold. You may say serve her right, she brought it upon herself. Yes, she did, but if the other two are going to get off easy and play house, she needs to move on as well.
