Dear Jonelle,
I am not going into the rest of this post, as I am in any case terminally confused by the physical and emotional about turns in PR from one day to another, and my brain is beginning to feel like scrambled eggs.
But as for
@red, I am afraid you are disregarding the facts of chawl life, and the general attitude towards single mothers, especially in the lower middle class to which the Ks, and Purvi, belong.
If Purvi had continued to stay on it Mumbai, in either the D chawl or the K chawl, and had been soon revealed to all as an unwed mother (no matter whose the baby is, but I suppose there would have been no question of it then),
there would have been no question of her causing 'havoc in Ovi's life". She would have been too busy coping with the storm of abuse and contempt that would have burst over her head, and she would not have been able to set foot out of their residence without a stream of vicious remarks following her.
As for Arjun, if he had then decided to abandon Ovi and go with Purvi, that would have effectively cut both off from both the Ds and the Ks, and how would our Purvi have coped with that banishment from her beloved twin
parivaars? She might as well have married Arjun as originally planned. She would never let him leave Ovi and that would leave her with no option but to run away, this time post-scandal, that is all.
Lastly, while it does not seem to bother many in this forum that Purvi is going to have a child out of wedlock (if in fact that is true, and I am NOT at all sure of that as yet, not to speak of hoping against hope that it is not true), it
does matter to me. I defended her against all comers when such rumours about her surfaced months ago, and I would feel an awful fool now.
Plus, I might be an old dinosaur in such matters, but this will about finish her character off in my estimation. It is unbelievable for a girl who was always parroting lines about her middle class
sanskaars to end up like this. And she should thank her lucky stars that she ended up with Dr. Onir; things could have been much tougher and nastier for her as a single mother in Kolkata as well.
The only person to be pitied in all this is Arjun. Purvi has not only dumped him, she has condemned him to life imprisonment, but only because he was fool enough to let her do so.
As I wrote elsewhere, Ovi is a tiresome nag, and the more Arjun bends to accommodate her nagging, the worse she gets. He should have continued to treat her as standoffishly as he does in the beginning, and she would have been just fine. But then he had to obey the wishes of his puppet master Purvi, and so here he is, a slave to both women, one absent, and the other, unfortunately, always present.
Any normal husband would never have stood for the constant
Who is Afraid of Virginia Woolf kind of stunts Ovi keeps pulling. He never promised to love her when he married her, and she knew that perfectly well. So why should he have any
pyaar for her now?
She wanted him at any cost then. Now that she has him, she is busy making life miserable for him every which way she can. If she did not want a baby, surely there are any number of ways of not having one these days. Why did she not adopt one of them, instead of plaguing her unfortunate husband every waking moment?
Nothing he does meet with her approval, and she has a tongue like a well stropped razor, that girl. She needs to be walloped good and proper, with a pair of extra stout slippers! 😉And if I had been her husband, I would have used a hatchet and buried her, Agatha Christie fashion, in the cellar!😉
I am sorry if I sound too harsh, but I simply cannot understand the casual way in which Purvi's supposed baby-on-the-way-courtesy-Arjun is being handled by some, nor can I understand the unstated assumption by some that the two of them, having created this mess of their own free will, should now revert to
status quo ante, and all the others concerned, especially Dr. Onir, be damned!
I do NOT believe, as some here seem to, that it is a pretend marriage between Purvi and Dr.Onir. Why on earth would he agree to any such thing? It is not comprehensible at all. So, taking it that she is married to him,
the best thing would be for her to stick to that and make the best of it. Her husband deserves no less. I do not have the extent of familiarity with the mindset of the CVs of such serials as some of you do, but I somehow cannot believe that he is anything but what he seems to be.

As for Purvi why is it a problem if she love's Arjun and not Onir is it a crime for a woman to be with a man she loves😕 At least she is not trying to kill her self and harm her unborn child for love she is happy with where she is and what she have unlike a certain person who have everything and is still not happy even the baby in her womb is not spared.
Purvi is a good woman and if she wanted she could have stayed in Mumbai and caused havoc in Ovi's life but she chooses not to and left and still she is being blamed for that CC earth quake of a marriage. And as we can see its Ovi who will go to kalkota to ruin everyone's life Purvi is not interfering with anyone.If Ovi's actions are always justifiable then why cant Purvi's actions be justifiable?
