I am so amused with the posts, that even though I did not want to bother arguing here, I found it very hard to resist the temptation to question some thinking.
While, I agree whole heartedly that Ovi was wrong to put forth a deal, I do very strongly believe that when lovers let a third wheel between them, that love is not the greatest. Purvi had several ways of uniting her aai-baba, one by stating the truth about divorce papers. But she CHOSE to give up Arjun. I call that a super selfish move. Selfish not because she chose her aai over him, because she FORCED him ( while giving him stupid pyaar ki saudaai nonsense) to marry Ovi. Did they both tell Ovi that they had had sex? Sex before marriage, makes a huge difference to people. Maybe she would have backed out of her whimsical ideas about Arjun and her. Maybe the lovers could have had a different life? Only if they had cared THAT much about each other. But they did not. She gave him up and he like a blind whipped lover, took her stupid suadaai of love and married Ovi. He could have said no. What did he owe Archana? NOTHING. ZILCH.
I agree with Kalapi, that Purvi came in between Ovi and Arjun. He should never have agreed to marry Ovi if he did not love her. But he did, out of childhood friendship, family obligations or whatever. Purvi went ahead with the affair even after knowing that her aai was getting the hard end of her decision at her sasural. Why did she not think of her aai that time? Why suddenly, after Ovi put the deal? Defending Purvi is weird if you don't take her one-sided goals into account.
I do for once want Ovi to simply acknowledge that she made a mistake, apologize to Arjun, and get a fresh start on her marriage with him with putting this deal behind them, as also rest the ARVI fans minds at ease about her being delusional. I do think she has also suffered in a loveless marriage. She had had a husband pining for her sister in front of her eyes. Her world will come to a shattering end on knowing her sister is carrying her husband's illegitimate nishani. So from my POV, she has suffered.
Purvi, on the other hand, for all her kaands and kartoots, has had no suffering. SHE chose to give up Arjun. She chose to run away after finding out the pregancy truth. She could have easily dropped the bomb, after finding out he still loves her and Ovi-Arjun have no marriage. But PURVI chose to be mahaan and give up on him a SECOND time. She ran away and found an even more blinded in love husband. She has had no gaalis from chawl walas for her abandoning her marriage, her unwed pregnancy, or pre-marital sex. For god's sake, living in a chawl comes with age old ideas about these things. She would be ruined by their taunts. While it is fine by having sex before marriage ( I do not support it, but whatever modernists want to think) , it is really stupid to drop that catch on the day of the marriage and FORCING him into an alliance with her sister. THAT is pure sadistic. Her mother and granny, took her in after a few tears and a slap, and now press her feet and give her pyaar and dulaar. Her husband sleeps on the floor, while fanning her desires and pretty much does ANYTHING that she wants. Her ex-lover is still so into her, he is willing to do anything to make her happy. WHAT has she suffered, may I know?
Arjun suffered a loveless marriage too. He did not love his wife back. He had to take that pain for 6 months. Arjun-Ovi in fact have suffered a ton more than this thankless, manipulative and outright shameless woman has. I think once Ovi apologises for her "DEAL", it is time for Purvi to serve some sentences for her wrong-doings and causing a million problems in everyone's lives.
MY POV strictly.
And oh, after she is done being punished for her kaands, I do hope that Onir-Purvi and Arjun-Ovi move on with their lives and make happy marriages and happier babies. ARVI re-union is a dhabba on the pavitra rishta name tag, If i may say so.
