Guys this is a post I wrote about Ovi and Arjun from a very emotional part of myself and my connection to Ovi. You see she's a lot like me. We went through a very similar marital landscape and when I see her now, I think this is where I would've been if my husband chose his ex-lover over me. I know she's the only thing keeping me to the show and I only watch her episodes. Many of you may have read it already, but if any ovi fan hasn't read it, i hope you do and that you enjoy it.
See I was thinking of making a post about the love between these three characters but since your post is about ovi, i'll stick to her and arjun. today indeed I believe that onir may have been an outsider in this triangle but ovi was never an outsider between arvi. she was always a part of them. arvi never came devoid of ovi, simply because she and purvi do love each other as sisters in their own strange and twisted way and indeed when arjun dies, the only person who can maybe guess at the pain purvi will feel will be ovi and vice versa.
i think many people have talked about how arjun NEVER loved ovi but I disagree. he didn't love ovi in the same way he loved purvi but she is undeniably a part of arjun in a way that he could never rid himself of loving her. not in the same passionate crazy burning, self destructive way he loves purvi, but he loves ovi in an utterly selfish way. its the love that develops when someone unconsciously believes that the other person was made to serve their purpose in your life- the love for a possession. thats what ovi is to him. someone who'll be there in whatever role he wants her in. and he knows that. thats y she is his go to. the one person he shares himself with when purvi can't do it or he doesn't want her to. its sad but i hope he realizes this before he dies and does one nice thing for her before he dies. even if its getting to know pia or just something simple.
I
really hope ovi has someone in her life who will be there for her when arjun dies (fingers crossed she's married). otherwise he will leave her even more empty than the last 20 years. having lost everything, including the man she became the object of everyones hatred for. someone said purvi has it the worst but she has people who love her and will care for her and help her through it all when arjun dies. if she realizes the truth, then yes its guilty conscience for purvi but she is surrounded by loved ones who will help her through the guilt and help her see the love that arjun left her. manav didn't seem like he wanted to find ovi today or even that he cared. there was no remorse that pia and ovi had noone and they didn't know where they were for 20 years. so i don't think there opinion will change once purvi realizes the truth. they will probably yell at ovi for not telling the truth.
and here were waneeka darling your post about Ovi being an idiot comes in- she was born to fools and thus raised as such. she has nowhere to go. if her family is a mud puddle then arjun is a swamp. either direction she goes, the mud will be slung on her. arjun at least for all his flaws never questioned Ovi's integrity. even when he saw pia, he never thought she was someone else's. he just knew. ovi loved only him in that way at that time. her parents and purvi thought she was vile enough to be a home wrecker! arjun at least gave her the minimum earned respect. so now you tell me, between arjun's request and her vile family, who does she choose? the easiest answer is noone. but its not always that easy to just cut yourself off. she is an idiot but she is being honest to the one relationship that gave her pia. unknowingly arjun gave her the biggest gift of her life and she's trying to give back just a bit of that I guess.
ovi has absolutely noone but Pia in her life (or at least thats what we've been shown so far). But at least before there was the hope that she and Pia maybe accepted back by her family, but if the charade works out then thats forever condemnation for Ovi. She lives the life of a widow for the man whose wife she couldnt live as. Its sad that Arjun is dying, its sadder that he can't seem to share it with the one person who he claims is his soul mate. Its sad that Purvi will not even get two months of the man she craved for 20 years. But to me ovi's story is just plain tragic- she gets everything of Arjun's- his sickness, his sorrows, his loneliness, his child, his confidence, his friendship but she never gets Arjun.
the saddest part is that Arjun never realizes that what she does for him comes at a great personal cost. ovi's effort for this man comes from a sense of misplaced gratitude. but somewhere arjun believes that this is what she should do for him. just as purvi feels that arjun should just do as she asks of him because he loves her, arjun feels the same way about ovi. that feeling of possessiveness, where you can ask anything of a person, thats purvi's way of showing love to arjun and arjuns way of loving ovi. but he has no acknowledgement that once he turns to dust, all he will leave behind for ovi and pia are shards of a broken dream, an incomplete childhood and the curse of his (purvi and pari) and her family (d-clan). wish he would atleast give them something that isn't a burden.
