Yes, all 3 characters are needy and insecure in their own way. Arjun, the tough, heartless businessman fell in love with Purvi and became a softie! He became clingy and needy, all his emotional needs, supressed since Aashna's death, came to the forefront and he became putty in Purvi's hands, hence agreeing to her insane demand to marry Ovi!
Purvi's overcompensating nature, her OTT gratitude and sacrifices for Archana and by default the extended family of Deshmukhs, is a result of being brought up by a single mother who was constantly yearning for her actual family, for her husband and bio children all those years! Purvi felt inadequate all her life, so shes always trying to make up for not being Archu's bio kid.
Ovi, deprived of her biological mother, brought up by the selfish and greedy Savita, inherited her grandma's traits, primarily a blindness to other's happiness. She inherited Savita's avarice, selfishness, greedy grasping nature! Perhaps she did love Arjun in a way but as a toy, a possession, an object that she imagined belonged to her! Thus she treated Arjun like trash after marriage, constantly abusing him verbally, raging at him, accusing him of emotional infidelity. Well, what did she expect? She married him knowing he loved Purvi, didnt she?
So you see, Arjun and Purvi also had flaws but they did not knowingly harm others, instead they sacrificed their own happiness, Purvi sacrificed for Archu's sake, Arjun did it for purvi's sake.
But Ovi knowingly hurt others, especially the man she claimed to love! She was rude to elders, used emotional blackmail and resorted to suicide attempts to get what she wanted! Her list of crimes is so long that it overtakes any pity I would have felt for her for being a motherless child brought up by that termagent Savita!
As for Onir and Purvi, she never treated him like Ovi treated Arjun. No way! 😆 She was affectionate towards him but she didnt love him! Same as Arjun with Ovi. It was only after Onir started behaving strangely on purpose that she started suspecting him. So that comparison is not really valid.
There are many scenes in Kolkata and Mumbai where Purvi and Onir seemed like a perfectly happy couple. Not like Ovi and Arjun where Ovi was drinking and cursing Arjun for "thinking" abt Purvi.
