Once again a track that generates a debate.
It appears to me that for a year or so it has been almost a competition among the characters for being irrational - instead of each one trying to outsmart the other, each character seems to be wanting to outdo others in irrationality.
I have especially never understood any of the tracks involving - Arjun, Purvi, Ovi (not that I understand others either). Looking at the sequence of events involving these three only a few things make sense
First Arjun agrees to marry Ovi (why? only God and Arjun know - please do not say he was forced because he was not)
Then he starts falling in love with Purvi (understandable).
But he does not think it necessary to clarify things with Ovi or Purvi (why? only God and Arjun know)
In the meanwhile Pruvi is getting engaged to a greedy man (understandable since she did not know his real character)
Arjun gifts the same kind of expensive bracelets to both Purvi and Ovi - Purvi on her engagement and to Ovi just like that, which Ovi understandably takes as an expression of love
(why did Arjun do that? only God and Arjun know)
Purvi also starts liking Arjun after breaking up with the greedy guy (understandable)
Ovi comes to India to give Arjun a surprise and not knowing about Arjun-Purvi, Manav and DK throw a surprise engagement party (a little hasty but not too weird)
First Purvi and then on knowing the truth Ovi get very hurt (understandable).
Then Ovi pressurizes Purvi to let go of Arjun (why Ovi? What sense does it make to get a guy to who loves someone else? Completely irrational.)
At first, Purvi says "No" (that was a rational stand, liked her for that)
Then Ovi makes an unethical offer (totally irrational) and Purvi accepts it for her "mother's sake"
(now what is the sense in this? First, how would her mother be happy knowing that her daughter was separated from the man she loved even if that led to her own reunion with her family? Second, does a person hold no ethical responsibility to the person to whom she/he is about to be married? And third, if a woman has maturity enough to have unprotected intimacy, should she also not wait until she knew that the intimacy has not resulted in anything that would create problems before taking such a drastic step? And please, I am not talking about legitimate or illegitimate pregnancy at all, only of irrationality involved in the decision. From no angle this looks like "mahaanataa" or "bhalaai" of anybody)
Why did Arjun accept such a stupid decision of two women who were acting completely irrationally? (only God and Arjun know)
Then Purvi finds out she is pregnant and in her mahaanataa leaves Mumbai (did she not think of her baby if she wanted to keep it? and did she not worry what kind of prenatal care the baby would get?)
Ovi starts drinking in frustration rather than trying to win her husband over (great! how rational!)
Arjun, instead of following through with his promise to his beloved that he will keep his wife happy, keeps talking to his now lost lover in imaginary conversations and pays as much attention to his wife as a ward-boy pays to a patient in a general hospital (which, by the way, he calls "trying my best to make the marriage work")
Purvi finds a nice man for herself who gets married to her without having any conjugal rights (good for her!)
Then the whole drama about pregnancy complications and return of the separated lover and baby swap and quick separations of Ovi-Arjun and Pruvi-Onir (so utterly irrational, the less said the better)
Then a mature Ovi returns and finds the two lovers about to get married - she takes a rational decision this time not to come between them and Onir is truly sweet in taking the blame for a while and letting the lovers marry.
After her return to Canada, the very irrational Ovi of earlier tracks has changed. She has actually acted in a very mature manner. It is Arjun and Purvi who are fighting like little children and Ovi has nothing to do with this. If the fights are fueling a sense of insecurity, what is Ovi's fault in this?
Ovi's pregnancy was predicted by many even when she left for Canada. But what is rather irrational here is the attitude of Purvi who had earlier kept advising Ovi not to be insecure about her and Arjun.
Why are pregnancies and children the only reasons for people to be loyal to one another? Why do they keep introducing new pregnancies to move the story forward? (totally unfathomable)
Which of Arjun's children will get to grow up with both parents? ( only the CVs know)
