People are ranting and raving about how every thing is apavitra about this Pavitra rishtha. I did too until I realized EK's point! The thing is she is an iconoclast! She wants to demolish romantic notions and expose people to harsh realities of life. People go on about the relationships on the show and what not! The point here is what is being shown is definitely a reflection of what goes on around us. I am not justifying so called immorality here but simply saying that moral codes are way too subjective for any rigid interpretation. It would do us a lot of good not to get so hot under the collar over every single occurrence on the show. Some of us maybe paragons of virtue but.a lot of us are not. We are human beings with all the attendant foibles and frailties. It may not be possible for many of us to live up to the exalted standards of others. However, while we work at improving ourselves, we can also work at being a little less judgmental of those among us who may not be quite so perfect!

Pavitra Rishtha is a sort of a contradiction. Because there is nothing pavitra about rishthas on the show. Each of the relationships is as messy as the other. To me, the relationship that has utmost sanctity is the mother-child relationship. But when a mother can trade her son's happiness in return for money and power, I have no hopes for the sanctity of any other relationship on the show! However, is this only on this show? Do we not hear of parents killing their own offsprings in real life in the name of honour?

If this is the world that we live in, why do we expect our TV shows to portray ideal relationships? Why are we looking for moral science classes in TV shows? More importantly, why do we expect the portrayal of an ideal world when the one that we live in as ugly as it can get? Why should all these characters be oh so honorable when we are not?

If you ask me, the show's title is EK's way of cocking her snook at her viewers! It is her way of holding up a mirror to the society we all live in!

Good points! 👏
The world around us is imperfect so why should the fictional world be perfect?
Art imitates life and life is messy and unfair.
Basically I also feel that EK wants to show that Pavitra Rishta between couples is ruined and destroyed by Apavitra rishtedaars or relatives. Its happened to Archu Manav throughout their lives, every relative starting from Savita, Ajit, Dharmesh, Varsha, etc. have ruined their rishta and caused them to split up many times. Still they returned to each other and reunited even after 18 yr separation.
Same with Arjun Purvi...Ovi and Punni, their scheming relatives separated them but now soon they also will get back together as it was meant to be...

I totally agree with u.. ArVi have a Pavitra Rishta. Ekta is showing realistic stuff becauz these things actually happen in real life. Nobody is sooo good in life. People make mistakes an so did ArVi di my premarital sex but they thought they were going to marry each other that's why. There is alot of people around the world who have premarital sex and Ekta is just showing that so what's wrong with it! People are just being shown the reality of the world. ArVi have a PR and the proof for this is Their little angel Pari. Hope the three of them unite

Totally Agree With U. Arjun-Purvi-Pari all need to deserve each other. Not between any third person.

Very Good points you made in your post. I agree with each and every point. Life is never perfect no matter how hard we try and we ourselves are not perfect. Knowing about good morals is one thing but practicing them is another. We all can instill the best values in our child but it does not necessarily mean they will follow all of it because the world out there is not perfect. Stuff do happen but the least we can do is accept it, learn from it and move on. Treating a child or someone like an outcast because of a mistake they made is not the best thing to do. It can lead to many more disasters. An eye for an eye makes the world go blind as gandhi would have said.

I am at least happy today that archana went to invite purvi indirectly to the party and that she herself now find out about Onir and realise that purvi's life is not as perfect as it seems.

Once again, very good post
