Shyamla,
Ahh. U took me back in time to those glorious days of Arjun. I did read those writeups back then and loved them. All ur writeups where so heartfelt then, but there are a few that I really love, one was the chawl meal scene (remember the purple dress), Archana's challenge and her beige nails (courtesy of bee:) ), the bridge proposal rain night (chalaa jaaonga main) and many more... Werent we right when we insistently argued with the APP, esp Jhanvi, about Purvi's commitment to Arjun. We had maintained that she was the one who was loved whereas it was Arjun who always loved. Unknown to us, how right we were !!! We had always hoped that she would stand by him and were never completely sure. How right we were in that too..
There were many instances when some of Arjun's scenes were so heartfelt and natural that Rithvik and Arjun became one to us. For me, he was always a better actor between the two, although Asha had her finer moments too. I guess I can go on like this for a while, but I know you understand what I mean. It is such a tragedy the way the story went downhill after that drasted wedding. Whoever came up with these idiotic tracks of ovi wedding, these pregnancies, baby swappin needs to have their head examined. It is amazing that people who could write the arvi story so beautifully back then, could also write such drivel now. What is their definition of Pavitra Rishta now, I wonder !
I doubt if it is remotely possible for Arjun to have such good intense scenes again, for Rithvik would surpass himslef given a chance, but in this current crap that is shown, there is no place for anything except the nonsense melodrama of the ladies..
Anyway, let me quit before I get more maudlin...:).
Take care of your wrist Shyamala, PR is not worth the effort anymore to aggravate its condition more...

Never were truer words said of Arjun's love for Purvi..It maybe termed as foolish, weakness right now by some, but that is how Arjun is.. All or None..

To be loved like this - so deeply and passionately, and yet with such unselfishness and demanding absolutely nothing in return - is something that very, very few mortals get, and it is something for which one should thank God on one's knees. Whatever happens to them in the future, whatever the heartache and loss they have to go through, the realisation of this love will stay with her and warm her heart. And I hope the realisation that she has been granted something very rare and precious will make her trust him implicitly and not make life more difficult for him when the storms that lie ahead start blowing in gale force. She should stand by him, and be his strength, not his weakness.

Gaurav,my dear boy,

It is lovely to see you here. As you saw, after a long gap, I had to do that redemption post after watching PR the last week, and today I similarly had to put this one out because of sheer nostalgia. Now I am getting back to my hibernation, as my wonky wrist is about to collapse from too much typing.

Take care, and stay safe and happy (not with PR, of course!)

Well Aunty i love your each n every post bcoz reason is that no one can beat you in words with your great literature experience,Coming back to Arjun's character i am finding really hard that how ekta has punished this character alot where the guy when he landed from Canada to Mumbai that time was marvellous.

Jyothi,

I have commented at length on your excellent post in bonibright's thread, so I will avoid any further lamentations here, or we will both become maudlin, and to no useful purpose! And your advice re: my wrist is spot on and very timely, so from tomorrow, that is precisely what I shall do, no matter WHAT happens in PR, even if Purvi does a Varsha on Ms. Kirloskar!

Now that is a thought, you know.Another friend had suggested to me, as a possible explanation for the seemingly strange commitment that Manav gets from Onir, that Purvi might become mentally imbalanced because of her longing for the child.Well, it is a very plausible theory, and if this does happen, then the CVs, who love rehashing old tracks, might do exactly what I have outlined above.

Of course not just yet, but after the baby comes out of the incubator. What a wealth of new options this would offer the CVs! Plus Asha can burnish her acting credentials by trying her hand at playing a mentally imbalanced woman. I hope she does not go overboard with it. Poor Onir (I call him that these days) will have to locate a good psychiatrist for his mishti, so as to keep her out of both jail and an asylum. 😉

I am beginning to fall in love with this possible track!

Take care, thanks, and much love.

Nice Post Shyamala ji, Its really sad to see Arjun these days that I am not even intrested in Purvi's life these days, She Gave up Arjun and her baby just for her mahanta and she always think she is right , now I reall y hope if she fell in love with Onir he some how gave her up for some mahanta then may be she will realise other ppl pain,
see how bad these charcter have been butchered we are talking like this for them, its sad really just like sad Arjun.

Thanks for making this post 🤗
Arjun is the only reason why I couldn't stop watching this show, even though they are showing some crap right now. Hope they bring my powerful and attitude wala Arjun Kirloskar back 😳

Shyamala moushi,

Beautiful chronicle! Having joined recently, this is my first time reading it and it indeed brought back memories of the golden days of the Arjun-Purvi romance. It also made me a little sad to think there really is no going back for this lovely ex-couple. Too much water has flown under the bridge for them to be the old Arjun-Purvi. Even if they get together again at some point, their relationship will be in the shadows of their lives with their current spouses, child(ren), miscarriages and other life events. Indeed, very few relationships, intimate or otherwise, remain unchanged through time. And that's ok because that's one of life's mechanisms for renewal and rejuvenation.

In the big scheme of things, Arjun-Purvi's relationship might end up being just a glorious episode in their lives - their one true love that provides a lifetime of strength and positivity. But that does not mean that they should be hold their lives hostage to that episode. In fact, (I think) it will better for everyone involved to move on and make their marriages successful and fulfilling. After all, they have several decades ahead of them and it would a real shame if they lived in the shadow of their beautiful relationship.

Dear Shyamala Aunty,

How have you been?
Reading these old posts of yours made me nostalgic as well. The good old times when Arjun and Purvi were realizing their feelings. I have to say that was my favorite time of P.R., since their characters were yet to butchered. Today how I pine for the return of that Arjun and the old Purvi I found parts of me in. How sad it is that the essences of morality and reality are removed for the sake of prolonging a serial for another couple months.

Well, I'm glad you have made a return, do take care.

Dear Shyamala Aunty,

Thank you so so so very much for this beautifully written trip down memory lane. I was not on the forum when you originally posted this, so I am very thankful for the opportunity to read what you thought of Arjun back when he was someone we all loved. (Somewhere I still love him, but it is getting harder episode to episode)

After reading this, I wish I was on the forum in those days that the show gave you something to write about and for such wonderfully positive and beautifully described posts.

You also took me down memory lane about the Arjun Kirloskar I simply adored. I love each and every line you have written describing him and I do not want to use my limited vocabulary to do injustice to him, plus you've said everything most of us here felt about him :) I loved the two scenes that you have mentioned too, along with the one where he picks her up after her engagement breaks off with Vinay and his outburst at the office after the MMS scandal. Rithvik is an actor with great potential and he has shown his acting prowess in the past with such an author backed role before.

I wish the CV's read your post and Kools post on the other thread about what needs to be made of his character now and take note. I want RD and Arjun both back in form because as Kools also said, he is a real and flawed character and hence most relatable if given a chance. Purvi has crossed that threshold long back so Arjun is the only one who can revive what was promised as a great character when he came in!

Thank yu once again for this post and taking us all down through more glorious times in PR.:)

Dear Ashfaque,

Of course I understand. I understand you very well.

I thought I had sent you a post last night, but it seems to be nowhere here, so let me try again. I am so glad that you liked this post, for I wanted you young people to know how we, the older lot, felt about Arjun as he was in the beginning. You might not know this, but we even set up a Protect Arjun Project, and we made it very active too!

I can see that your heart is set on Arjun and Purvi getting back, and for your sakes I hope that comes about.

But, though I do not want to sound like the Grinch who stole Christmas, it is a fact that, as Pari noted elsewhere, and as notsurewhy has noted here, neither of them is the same as in April 2012, especially Purvi.

She might not love Onir, theirs might not be a normal marriage, but there is a lot that they have between them, and especially on Purvi's side: deep gratitude, a sense of belonging together that was so evident this week, and her dependence on him for tackling any problem. I am sure he would let her go at once if that was what she wanted. What I am not at all sure of now is whether she would want it, even if Ovi released Arjun and Onir let her go. It would not gel with her sanskaari self-image, and for people like Purvi, the self-image is very important. They have to feel good about themselves, and I do not think she will feel good ditching Onir. So, for Arjun and Purvi to get back as before would be, as I used to say often after their parting of the ways, like repairing broken porcelain. Do it as finely as you might, the cracks will still show.

Still, there is nothing the CVs cannot fix, and just to make you happy, let us hope that they do end up together, with their baby in tow!

Shyamala Aunty

Thank U for your Post. Arjun is a powerful actor that why I am too much attached this serial. Honestly told that I saw more than 12 years in Indian TV serial. Very first episode I saw this PR. But many reason continue not see this PR. Many episode I missing. Especially how Varsha turn negative, how Baishali & vandita spent their live. I also not member that time when Sushant left the show. I am totally surprised when Hiten entry of Manav role. After 18 years leap I am too interested this serial for only Arjun & Purvi character whose protryed by RD & Asha Negi. I am totally surprised their acting. That time to till I am too much concerned their.

I am happy when they are happy, I am helpless when they face miserable life.Now a days this CVs totally butchered their character. If they think this is twist what type of twist this to character butchered. Why they are making Arjun a woman, why they make him cry always???I want that Khadoos Arjun back he stand his own feet. This is true that Shakti is good actor but why he is too much presence when Arjun is lead character except ARMAN. This is totally unfair. Now a days If shati presence 95% time & only 1 or 2 minutes we saw Arjun who are all time helpless people. WHY??? Is not totally unfair & wasting RD's talent. Is it Arjun a simple character?

If shakti leading character then not this PR? Need another serial who is only lead character not also there include RD. If Arjun not lead character then why they saw us Arjun is lead character & making loving him too much. This is totally unfair. We want ARVI back & firstly restore Arjun first like a man whom we have seen before. No more waste RD talent. He faces many problem his life. Very first he lost mother. After that when he find actual love with Purvi then she reject that marriage. Because her true love Purvi also face same problem when her sister ovi deal their mother love. Purvi is orphan that why she easily trap that deal.Purvi feels that she owes so much to the Deshmukhs.. Primarily Archana since she gave her a home and love even though she was an orphan. When she was with Archana these 18 years all Archu talked about was how much she wanted her family back.. Now that her family is back she somehow feels obligated to make sure they are always happy.. She always blames herself for Ovi's unhappiness...

After that all time ovi's bad behavior Purvi forced to leave Bombay. Later we know that Purvi was pregnant that time. So she avoid this painful things. From the start Purvi is thinking about Archu's happiness. Purvi doesn't want any more sadness in Archu's life even it is through Ovi's health state.

After 6 moths when no one know Purvi's whereabout then both ARMAN find Purvi at kolkata & also know that she married. Also know that onir is her husband. They try to onir treatment ovi but onir refused. But Purvi help her parents. Purvi doing all these to keep Archu happy. Purvi is exact replica of Archu. so correcting her is not so easy. Manav also not any time stand Arjun & Purvi. For Ovi he is using other. when Purvi loved Arjun, it was very sinful for him. but when Purvi sacrificed her love and mother for Ovi, he felt its great and said goodbye. he talks caring about Purvi to Archu but never stood by Purvi's side when it comes Ovi or Purvi. He stands by Ovi, even though he knows Ovi is wrong. Manav now thinks about Purvi because his doll Ovi's life is in Purvi's husband hand. they had Purvi's address in hand. why Manav use his influence to find Purvi?

If Purvi is not orphan then all D family very much concern to her. But ovi is their blood so they too much concern her but not Purvi. That why all time Purvi thinking that family. I am 100% sure if any family member know that ovi's baby died then they demand to Purvi handover her baby to ovi. This CVs all time try to prove that Once an orphan always an orphan. This serial all time try to prove that Evil always wins, The loser. She lost her family, baby and love. That why I am not able to angry Purvi for her baby donation.

That why Purvi is not able to stand Arjun. Arjun all time try to stand by Purvi
through thick and thin. They all time feelings each other. They not forget any moment each other.

Both Arjun & Purvi face huge suffer for loving each other. Their love is pure love. They made each other. No other person not understand their properly anytime. We all time saw that how ARVI feeling each other. Enough is enough.

Ovi is to be blamed for all the happenings in her life. She blackmailed and schemed to get what she wanted & thus, is the reason why Purvi and Arjun aren't together!

Now this is the right time to Baby's truth revealed & united each other for their baby sake. Also true love sake ARVI need united this time.

"Like a rainbow after the rain, there's always a good thing after the pain"

Hope Aunty U understand my point.

Shyamala Aunty after reading your view I think that may be U mention me that I am worshiped Purvi till now after her wrong doing. U are mention that Purvi destroy both Arjun & onir life, so how I worshiped Purvi. This is totally wrong. I am like too much both Arjun & Purvi but not worshiped. Like or love & worshiped are totally different. You are senior of all us so U very well know that what the different between love & worshiped. I am still angry why Purvi reject Arjun to married last moment. I am still angry why she not mention her actual pregnancy to any family member especially her grandmother/mother/Arjun & after her baby donation. This is totally stupid decision. But my post I also mention that why Purvi step this decision & why I am not angry her stupid & wrong decision. I hope that U understands my point of my post. I am totally surprised that how Ekta & her CVs totally destroy Arjun & Purvi character. Their character was too much innocent. But now many people hate their character too much hate for present scenario. But they very well know that why their character butchered. This is unfair. This is true that onir is good person but I don't like him. I don't like any person who is between ARVI lives. I am still I believe both ARVI made each other. No ARVI happy if they are not lives each others. They are still missing each other. Many people say that both ARVI need get tight punishment for destroy ovi & onir life. But U very well knows that this messing is created only ovi for her obsession Arjun. If ovi not wanted to deal her mother love with Purvi then this present scenario may be not created. In onir case when onir want to marriage Purvi rejects that proposal. After his comment she decided to marriage but only her baby sake. That time Purvi wanted to tell onir her past life but he not interested that time. So U tells me what the fault of Purvi this step. I also angry why Purvi marriage onir when she loves Arjun vary much & also told to Arjun that she never forget him. But also true that why she marriage onir. May be U told that before marriage their sex is sin. Yes, I am also agreeing this point. But U knows that no men in this world are perfect. All men/women are sinner. Purvi regret that sin that why she not able to share any family member. Arjun not remember anything till now. He still now not clue that this baby is his not onir. U is senior of all us. I think U knows very well that if pregnant woman clear not anything this way pregnant her partner then that person no clue this happen.

When Arjun separate by Purvi his life are totally messing. Also Purvi get punishment her sin of not marriage Arjun & stay away her family her critical moment. Also she faces punishment for her baby donation work when her baby is not with her. She all time stay with her baby but not able to stay. So U tells me what type of punishment need to Purvi. But when Arjun knows the truth I want that Arjun burst his anger to Purvi. His anger will be that type when we saw his arrogant businessman. If Arjun slapped to Purvi I don't mind.

But this baby sake obviously need to ARVI united. If onir is not marriage Purvi but only her good friend like Satish then I respect him. Otherwise he not deserved any respect of my side.
