Jhanvi,
I agree with most of what you said...except for @bold. Purvi has done everything to arouse Ovi;s suspicions about taking PAri away from her. Varsha was a bit extreme, but Purvi is also no less in that account. The sly breast-feeding and constant Pari-jaap would drive any mother over the edge, not to forget the rumored allegations of them having swapped the babies. Also, fully well knowing the half-baked truth about Varsha masi and soham, gives her enough reason to have nightmares, plus the whole Arjun-Purvi past. All of this pulled together, justifies ovi;s over reaction to Purvi regarding her baby.
Ovi was selfish and I will agree in the beginning I could not get myself to like her, despite all the abandonment issues. But post marriage, she is the only character that has grown. Whether it is her stance against Punni everytime she tries to kaan bharo, or whether it is her silent acceptance of Purvi being Arjun's number 1. She has apologized to Arjun for going berserk about Purvi and for drinking during pregnancy. She has also told Purvi that she is ready to let it all behind and move on as sisters. Infact, yesterday she was shown guilty about yelling at Purvi once again. That in my head is not selfish at all. She has enough introspection and makes her a very real character. Yes, people who do not like her can argue that now that she has Arjun, she can be nice to Purvi. I don;t see it that way. Ovi has gotten nothing from this marriage, not love, not respect and not even a friend. she has accepted it now and she lives on the hope of her daughter, not her loser husband. She expects nothing of him. I haven't seen any episode recently where Ovi demanded something out of Arjun, that she "had no right to" as most of this forum likes to put it. She is content in her space.
If Arjun loves Purvi so much, he should walk out on the marriage and Ovi, not the other way round. Ovi is not mahaan like Purvi to give up things like that and that makes me liek her, cuz in reality I do not come close to someone like Purvi at all. I don't understand baseless mahaanta in today;s world and then making other's lives hell. Purvi on the pther hand, has never had insight into her issues and apologized to any body. She has never respected Arjun is another thing. Glad she atleast admires her husband Onir. He got sometihng out of the relationship at least.
Anyway, as for Ovi having always had inappropriate ideas about Arjun-Purvi having an affair, I won't slide that off either. Arjun shamelessly eye-locked with Purvi whenever he got the chance, Purvi glanced at him slyly once in a while. Although Purvi made every effort to move on away from Arjun and I will give it to her, that she did not do these eye-locks as Arjun did. Which some peopel say Ovi should have expected. Yes, she should have expected. But then what was stopping Arjun to leave Ovi?
I don't think anyone will ever be able to answer the question that till date, if the love between Purvi and Arjun is so strong, if Ovi is so evil, mean and bad, what is exactly stopping the jodi from re-uniting? Arjun gives two hoots about Ovi and sanskaars, so he can still walk out right? Purvi is the one who keeps touting about sanskaars and eveyrthing she does is against her own sayings, so I can understand her not giving in to Arjun. But what is stopping lover boy?
This show and it's treatment of leads will always be beyond me. Whether it was Manav-Archana or Arjun-Purvi and now Onir, I simply don't get it. I am happy that atleast Ovi after being the villain of the show, has had enough character development and is the only who's actions I understand. The rest, are simply above my little brain. :)
Pari, I agree Ovi the character has "grown" or at least developed other facets to an otherwise one-sided personality. Shruti is doing a marvelous job. That said, just because Ovi has 'grown" I am not ready to accept that she has grown positively. The writers have developed her character and that is a good thing. They have taken a butcher knife to Arjun's character and slaughtered him mercilessly.
@ bold, I never alluded to Ovi's inappropriate ideas of a Purvi-Arjun affair. Since you brought that up, it falls in line with what I was saying in my earlier post, Ovi can never get the bhooth of Purvi from her head whether there is anything afoot between Arjun and Purvi or not. Purvi left town far, far away from their lives, Ovi still insisted on getting drunk while being pregnant, wanted to have an abortion, why? Because she still knew Arjun hankered after Purvi. No one knew where Purvi even was but that didn't stop the demons in Ovi's head and heart. I pity her (the credit for that goes to Shruti) but condone her for her behavior, I never will. I can understand the motives behind her behavior but that does not make me excuse her.
As for Arjun walking out of the marriage, I have oft repeated that I am puzzled by it too. In fact, wrote a post a while back that maybe, just maybe, he feels Purvi is not the person for him. She is this idol on a pedestal but he feels that Ovi is "right" for him. Who knows the twisted thinking of the CVs? Even if this were so, a hint here or there might help us decipher his totally shredded to smithereens character. I watch Sapne Suhana Ladakpan Ki on and off and was pleased by Mayank's decision in it to divorce his wife who he was forced to marry. Whether he is allowed to go through with the divorce or not is another matter entirely but just the fact that he took a stand and made a decision raised him in my esteem. Arjun sadly is lacking a backbone. I did not like his speech at the recent party either, the hints at how Purvi had changed him and then the fake gratitude towards Ovi. If I were Ovi and he were my husband, I would have smacked him hard, then and there, hurled the vase or something.
As for the jodi re-uniting, I am not sure I want that (not that my wants are going to be configured into how this serial plays out). Arjun did not love Purvi enough to stop himself from making a child with Ovi (should have been a physical impossibility for him to have been even momentarily attracted to Ovi if he was head over heels in love with Purvi, drugged, forced, coerced whatever - that is what undying pavitra ristha or true love should mean), he is out of the picture for me for Purvi by that mere fact. He cannot have his cake and eat it too. He chose to move on with Ovi, he should. However evil she is, it is his wife and not fair to her. He can divorce her if he cannot live with her any longer but back with Purvi is a no, no. To me, he cannot make sheep's eyes at Purvi any longer, however much his heart longs, he should keep his feelings hidden and under wraps. This, of course, does not change my opinion about Ovi's nakras.
Onir, on the other hand, has been shown as a perfect husband and human being (turning a blind eye to the baby exchange), why on earth would any girl in her right mind give up on him? Balks the mind.
The CVs, of course, will make changes as suits them, they may kill one or the other off (Onir or Ovi), make Ovi be falsely pregnant or who knows show that she got in vitro fertilization even (far fetched, idiotic but wouldn't put it past the craziness of the CVs) or even bring Romil back into the picture, make Onir a villain - all this if the writers desire to bring Arjun and Purvi back together despite all the hungama.
