I am afraid I do not watch this one, and so I do not underrstand the details, but as for the core isssue, I agree with you completely, and I wrote the following to Janhvi (soapwatcher1)on another thread.

Dear Janhvi,
Just one teeny weeny question.
WHY does Ovi have to pass an agnipariksha of sorts and accept Pari? I think that I would not, and nursing the baby for 2 months has nothing to do with it. You say you would, but you have not been there and done that, so what you would actually do remains to be seen, just as what I would do remains to be seen. Neither of us can be sure of what each would do.
What I object to strongly is this new thesis being generated that Ovi should accept Pari in order for her to be accepted as a human being and not as the unfeeling, selfish monster so many in this forum are glad to see her. She does NOT have to accept Pari at all.If she does so, it would be truly admirable, but no one has the right to hold it against her if she does not.
Pari to her will be a constant reminder of acute humiliation, and that the child is not at fault has nothing to do with it either. Ovi knows that, and says so to Pari, when she wishes that she could share all her sorrows and problems with the baby. That, I felt, was one of the most touching and despairing lines in PR so far. So if she cannot stand being reminded of all that led to Pari being substituted for her dead baby, who has the right to blame her? No one.
What astonishes me is Arjun's gall in apparently assuming that his (still) wife would be ready to play nursemaid to his progeny with his inamorata. I was appalled at his shamelessness in going and standing there in their bedroom (incidentally, why on earth is he too living there? I thought he had a large house?) and obviously expecting Ovi to mind the kid. He deserves to be kicked, with a pair of hobnailed boots, from one end of Mumbai to the other. Why does he not give the baby back to Purvi, or take care of it himself, for none of the Deshmukhs will not want it, for obvious reasons?
Or maybe he, Onir and Purvi can set up house together (oh, completely virtuously, of course, remembering Purvi's sanskaars, and NOT a menage a trois), so that Pari can have both her parents with her, to the delight of the bulk of this forum, who have made her being with her biological parents a sort of rallying cry. Onir would have to be there to lend them respectability, unless of course he is hauled off to chokey, and apni Purvi then starts (re)developing 'feelings;' for her ex. I can see a succession of charming scenes of them both and that baby, at the breakfast table, bathing, her dressing her, feeding her. Oh, it is beginning to give me goosepimples, so the bulk of the forum will faint clean away!

ovi is totally justified. why she should accept her husband's najayaz child when her own child died ?
in veera even ratan hasnt accepted veera whole heartedly yet. in the beginning she didnt even used to look at her. she atleast had her own child ranvijay. besides the sautan was not there to dance on her head and take false sympathies from others.
ovi is in much more bad state than ratan. she doesnt have her own child while ratan had ranvijay. ovi's husband is ever ready to jump into her sautan's pallu. besides the sautan is very manipulative and can go to any extent to play games. so i guess ovi is much more vulnerable than ratan.
