Jhanvi..i see the long discussions following your post are very involved and i don't have time to read though them today. I just wanted to compliment you on your excellent post and analysis. I really agree with the whole post.Just a quick comment on 3 points.1) Your analysis of Manav was so well said Really Jhanvi, it doesn't matter that it was Purvi - a daughter of Archana's and sort of step daughter, step sister etc. Any father OR mother who watches their daughter marry someone who has declared he doesn't love her and never will, because he loves someone else and everyone knows it to be true, MUST step in and annul that marriage. And if they DON'T, they must accept theresponsibilityof everything that happens from that point forward. It's only going to end up as a disaster, and if you really did love your daughter you wouldn't allow that to happen to her. A young woman who wants to marry someone who loves another person is emotionally unstable and needs help before entering into marriage. It's not so complicated.2) This idea of rushing to judgement on everything, without ASKING the other person for their side of the story really irritates me. You can't just assume guilt without knowing both sides. Could'nt anyone stop to ask Purvi? or Arjun? But...in PR land...hhh it's different.3) The penchant Ovi has for public display of her life is part of the problem.. But i guess that's Ekta's penchant too. 😆It looks like a lot of the discussion has to do with the baby, but that's not your point as far as i can see. I think everyone is in agreement that the baby switch should not have happened, it was wrong, etc Ovi needed to grieve etc. All true. No one has an argument with that. But you can't get to point Z without considering and dealing with points A-Y. It just doesn't work that wayAnyway congratulations for a well thought out and well spoken post.
My three points
1.is it possible for parents to annul their children's marriages?especially when their children are adults of sane minds? I don't think so. So how can Manav do that? Was he part of the DEAL?no.
2. How is Arjun a victim? Doesn't the ruthless businessman know how and when to say NO?
3. When Purvi can decide other people's lives for them even in their absence, why expect that she should be asked? After the video is there still anything left to be asked?
Frankly when Arjun had that martyred look on his face regarding bringing up Pari alone, it only made me laugh! It evoked no sympathy or empathy .
