Dear Ameilia,
I agree with all that you have said here. But my point is that when such
amar prem has been thrown away by Purvi for ends of her own, there is no point talking about it any more. If what they had was 'true love', they should have stuck with each other no matter what, but they did not,
At least Purvi did not, because for her Archana was more important than Arjun or their 'true love'. (The irony of all this is that Archana was accepted by her family
not because of Purvi giving up Arjun, but because Savita was exposed by Teju at the opportune moment. She might just as well have spared Arjun all this misery).
Now, if her love for her mother was then more important than her love for Arjun, then she should stay with the situation she has created. She cannot go back and start all over again as if nothing had happened, and sold goods cannot be reclaimed by the seller.
If one thing could then be more important than their amar prem then, so too can something else be more important than it now. That thing would be Purvi's commitment to her marriage vows, and her gratitude to a man who saved her from acute ignominy when she needed it. Love is not the be all and end all in our lives. there are many things which are far more important. She cannot ditch Onir, who obviously loves her, just because her ex-lover is now patently unhappy in the fate to which she has consigned him.
And then again,
seeing the kind of flashbacks of Purvi and Onir that we are shown, especially the one is which she showers him with water from her wet hair, she is obviously very comfortable flirting with him. That scene did not seem to me to be one between two people who are just friends! It was playful and decidedly coquettish from Purvi's side. Why does she flirt with her husband in this very obvious fashion if she has no feelings for him other than friendship?
This said, it is Arjun who has suffered and is suffering far, far more than his
amar premika. She has got Dr. Onir, and she has stuck him with Ovi. No more need be said. He will be paying for his folly in letting her use him and manipulate him, paying for a long while yet;and the oddest thing is that he does not resent it at all. That, to me, is the truly incredible thing about Arjun-Purvi.

There is a difference between gratitude and love.Purvi doest love Onir but she is grateful to him for accepting her and her child.
Purvi herself said that her and Onir's relationship is based on friendship.A friend in need is a friend indeed.Onir and Purvi may have met before Purvi learnt that she was pregnant and became good friends.
After Purvi learnt abt her pregnancy to save from mockery from society he agreed to marry her.
I believe that Purvi admires Onir but can never love him.Her first and i believe last love Arjun has and will always be a part of her whether she likes it or not.That baby is Arjun's and will be a constant reminder of the love that they once shared.That baby is not a mistake for Purvi but a blessing from God that the wants to protect and love with all her heart.I believe the fear of being shunned from society and the fear that her blessing will be taunted prompted her to marry Onir.
Onir and Purvi's relationship is based on understanding but no love.It came right out from Purvi's mouth that she doesnt love him so that is enough for me to know they can never be in love.
If Arjun couldnt love Ovi in all this time and still love Purvi then the same applies to Purvi.If she couldnt love Onir all this time then what can he now do to make her love him?
