Ovi for me, has been the highlight of the show and one of the best etched characters in a long time. She is fierce, stubborn, spoilt, loving, short-tempered, smart, giving, and mostly like a pillar to Arjun. Her character growth from a spoilt chit to strong woman with equal parts flaw and beauty has been so beautifully etched out Shruti Kanwar. A bundle of talent really!



I feel the same way. Especially after the last few episodes. I am curious to see where Ovi's character goes now.

My dear,

What can I say but that I am flattered? Thank you so much for such kind words.

Apart from what I wrote in response to the opening post, which I have since edited to include something about the very different responses in large parts of the forum to Soham and to Ovi; you might like to look it up, and I would look forward to your answer to the question I have posedthere = there are some other aspects of Purvi that have always disturbed me.

As I wrote elsewhere recently, in response to an anguished appeal from a young member who loves Arjun-Purvi, I do believe, and have always thought, that Purvi never loved Arjun anywhere near as much as he loved her. For him, she was the beginning and the end of his existence. He loved her madly then, and he does the same now, within the limitations of the social set up, and looks ridiculous in the process. He and Ovi should have got a divorce after that slap fest at the party before Purvi pushed off to Kolkata,. but no, he had to jump thru the hoop Purvi held up for him. So, there is not question of his not being still besotted with Purvi, the chump.

For her, as Jyothi once set out in a very funny post, he came in at about No.11 i n her priority list, after Archana, Manav, Sulochana, Ovi, Soham, and perhaps Teju and a couple of others as well. She would have given him up for any of the people on this list, and in the case at hand, it was Archana, or so she thought. To my mind, this does not make it laudable, it merely looks both stupid and selfish. She did not ask Arjun before she sold him to Ovi; she conned him into coming to that hilltop, and then used all her powers over him to bludgeon him emotionally into marrying Ovi. Agreed, he was an idiot to go along with it, but the main fault was hers.

This is not love, not for me, and I cannot forgive her for what she did to Arjun. So I have no use for all the folk who justify what she did as tyaag. What it was is human sacrifice. Of Arjun.

Now, though it is not here a question of love in any degree on her side, she is doing exactly the same with Onir, a man to whom she can never repay what she owes him, a man who has stood by her, and still stands by her, whatever the situation and whatever the cost to himself. But Purvi does not seem to have the slightest concern for what might happen to her legally wedded husband's highly regarded career because of what she has made him do.

Purviis 'like that only'. As I always say, for her there are only 2 categories of persons: those for whom she will do anything - her mother, her aaji, her Manav baba, Ovi, Soham, and perhaps Teju - and those to whom she will do anything to protect the interests of the first group - and that is the two I like best, Arjun and Onir.

She will never stand by any man, lover or husband, and any man who has the misfortune to fall in love with her had better understand that and accept it, or run as fast as he can in the opposite direction. Interestingly enough, she has some Fevikwik like magi c, for both of them stay stuck fast to her whatever the damage to them!

And the strange thing is that not one of those idolising Purvi even bother to think of such a character defect. Not that it would bother Onir even if he ended up in jail.
Given the current level of his blind obsession with her, even if he is jailed (though, strangely enough, Mittal seems to have no idea of trying to reopen the case against him), I am sure he will act like the old Bolsheviks did when they were arrested and jailed by Stalin during the post-Lenin purges of the Old Guard in the Party. They could never believe that it was Stalin who had ordered their incarceration, and they used to write Long Live Comrade Stalin! on the walls of their cells, and in their blood. Onir will do the same, but not, I hope, in blood!😉

Well, this is long enough to please you, but I do hope it makes sense as well!😉

There's a very thin line between being hurt and being completely over dramatic and ignorant about it. I agree that Ovi must feel heartbroken over being betrayed like this by the two people that she trusted the most... but why, should Arjun and Purvi feel obligated to care about what she has to say after everything that she's done? It's enough that they do care and i respect them both for that because if it was me, I would've shunned that girl out of my life long ago after she pulled all that crap... If Purvi and Arjun were required to be more patient and understanding, Ovi should've done the same. How come the other characters have to accommodate themselves according to Ovi. I want her to understand the others for once and maybe then, I might start liking her.

Definitely worth reading your post! You have taken time to really put urself in the shoes of Ovi's character. You have written out a beautiful analysis. Everything you have said makes perfect sense. :) Thank you for even taking time off and sharing it here on the forum :))

Lots of love,

I agree. To me Ovi was a brat, and she will remain a brat. Always.

I kind of liked Ovi and Teju from the beginning, mainly because they were complicated characters. They are not evil like Punni where they simply want to cause havoc, and they are not good like Purvi, Archana and the other tv sati savitris. Their characters have room for growth. I always love characters like those because it feels like a journey with them as you don't know where they will go. I already know where characters like Punni and Purvi will go from the day they are introduced. I have seen it a billion times.

What an insightful topic into Ovi's character.👍🏼

Ovi is definitely one character I would call GREY. Her and Soham are characters that I have found really interesting. As you have said, Ovi has scope for growth. When I see Ovi on screen I see a child that was abandoned by her mother, and the ripple effects it has caused.

I would like to add that I am really glad to see such brilliant analysis on the show and it's characters, even with what is being shown in the show right now. Such great observations by everyone here. 😃

As a lot of ppl have said, I semi-agree with everything except the part that Purvi has a good heart. All she did was use Arjun for sex. You know how I know that? Even before she struck a deal with Ovi, she was hesitant to marry him b/c it would supposedly ruin her aai's happiness, yet she still has sex with him and then dumps him like a piece of trash. If she knew she wasnt sure she was marrying him then why did she have sex with him? Then she controls Arjun by telling him to marry Ovi and consummate, and blah blah blah. The only reason she has done what she's done is to cover up her mistakes. Her giving up the baby was not a sacrificial act, but rather to cover up her dirty secret. She's very cunning, esp. when it comes to making her bad deeds look sacrificial and mahaan.

Hello do you like need a reality check, did you forget how Ovi blackmailed Purvi to marry Arjun.
Ovi the spoilt brat didn't know that there was a word NO, she wanted Arjun at any cost.She deserves what she got as you are welcome to love but you can never force someone to love you, will you leave your love because your best friend whom you grew up with loves you?I don't think the writer understands the difference between love, friendship and obsession and I am not one of the younger viewers.
