I agree with you on Varsha. I for one could not understand why she would have ran away and made her life and soham's worse off than they were. People go for betterment but all in all she was not mentally fit at that time, hence she made the best decisions she could have made at that point.

My concern is that archana and manav could have tried to make soham's life better in the space of time he was under their care. She and manav are rich enough and have a large business, how can they have soham working as a delivery man in a grocer shop for so long. Just providing him with a home and family does not do it all at reforming soham. They have to do more than that. They have to help him socialize with the right people, give him a decent job in Manav's company and train him in that way of life. Help him develop his capabilities but they did nothing like that.

Its quite easy for soham to snap back into the life he was in before as he would have been at it for years and it give him everything he has today - be it respect in a negative or positive way. He is used to having whatever he wants the easy way and therefore, he choose to have gauri the easy way. Archanna on the other hand should have tried to console soham a little more and make him see reason not just reprimanding him and have him involved in the wedding every step of the way as if nothing happened. She should have recognised soham and gauri's closeness from inception. Soham thoughts he did but ...

Soham lost whatever love and respect I had for him when he struck his brother with that rod ...

He actually tried to kill Sachin ..No excuse whatsoever for tis kind of behaviour.

Somewhere Manav and Archana were at fault as they did neglect Soham a lot for Sachin ( all to please Savita ) .They were even going to give him up for good .But now they were trying to make up for this specially Archana .Soham broke her trust for a girl he took fancy for ..His demand to marry his brother's fiance was just pathetic when the girl does not care for him at all...

Shame on Varsha who just stood there watching all this .The main reason why Soham's life is in ruins is because of her .She is the one who made in a Gunda . She was so educated but she never educated Soham . Archana too had adopted a child but what a good job she did with Purvi .She gave Purvi full education and not just love and ma ka pyar .She made Purvi independent and educated enough to get a good job and have a respectable life on her own .

Archana worked ( never took money from Manav ) but made sure that Purvi had full education .

Varsha did nothing like that for Soham .She just spoiled him and let him be a Gunda and then she calls herself a mother ...

Exactly!

Just bringing Soham into their home, feeding him, clothing him is not enough as parents. People adopt a dog or cat and feed them, give them a home too. Archu called him an animal. but they treated him like an animal, just feeding him, clothing him, letting him work at menial labor, not considering his feelings in anything.

Knowing fully well that hes hurting over S-G marriage, Archu forced him to participate and run errands for the wedding. She aggravated the situation even more!

And whats with the Deshmukhs and physical violence!

Anytime they are angry with somebody they slap them right and left.

Today, Soham got slapped at least 20-25 times total by Manav and Archu!

No wonder he hit Sachin with a karcha! Apple doesnt fall far from the tree! Archu is wrong, it is BLOOD, which is telling!

Archu and Manav believe in domestic violence and practice it often so their son will obviously follow in their footsteps!

I know too much slapping ..

But I guess they do this to put in all the drama .I don't think there can be any family where so many slaps happen all the time

Archana and Manav go on lecturing abt reform but did they do anything positive to help him in that reform? First of all, they needed to get him educated, then get him a job in Manav's company (in a lower position that doesnt need high qualifications).

Then Soham would feel truly accepted and upwardly mobile as befits a son of Deshmukh family.

Armaan's insane ideas of making Soham do hard labor to prove how hard work leads to success doesnt make sense at all.

Why did Manav educate Sachin, Teju and Ovi then?

Why did Archu educate Purvi then, so well that she can handle any job at Manav's company?

What have they done for Soham? Zilch! Nothing!

If Soham had started night school, and worked in Manav's company, that would have boosted his self confidence and improved his self worth. Then probably he would not have behaved like a sociopath at Gauri's rejection. He would have accepted it and moved on. Thats how I feel!

His male ego was hurt at the rejection as he thinks Sachin is preferred by Gauri because of his profession and better earnings. He thinks Sachin gets preferential treatment at home too, by Armaan, because hes a lawyer and Soham is neglected because hes a nobody!
