Purvi is one character that always confuses me.
I give her that generally her intentions are good for all concerned. She is not in the class of say Manjusha or Punni. But her reasoning is totally messed up. She does not know any other way but melodrama. And she is too self-righteous.
The way she uses people for what she thinks is bhalaai of someone else and then throws them out from her life like disposable soda bottles is so obvious that it beats me how it can be defended. First, she forces Arjun to marry Ovi (for the supposed bhalaai of her mother), then without thinking through how she will give care to her child, she just leaves (supposedly for Ovi's bhalaai). Then she marries Onir and from what we saw she was always smiling and cracking jokes in his household. Then, when enters Arjun again, she forces Onir to come to Mumbai (at her mother's request for Ovi's supposed bhalaai). Then emotionally blackmails Onir to do the unthinkable (Onir was stupid too to do that but all the melodrama that she did to get him to commit the act is unforgettable). Then when the truth comes out about Pari, Ovi leaves, and Onir starts his act of being married to Shalini, without trying to find the truth, she leaves his house screaming. Finally gets married to the love of her life; but does not give him a chance to explain why he was with a sick infant and Ovi in a hospital. She leaves and does not even contact the guy for 20 years - even though claiming that she wants Pari to have a relationship with her father. And finally, now that she has someone else's bhalaai (her mother's potential grandchild's) in view, she asks for Arjun's help. How is this defensible?
I think that most viewers who do not like Purvi's character are not against her. But they find it unpalatable that she would recurrently use other people and get away with it. Still I would say that she is not evil. She just does not have proper reasoning skills and is not able to see the implications of her own actions. She cannot see that other people also have feelings, dignity, good intentions, and rights. She is too absorbed in her own way of thinking. She makes judgments on others, takes hasty decisions that impact many lives, and imposes her decisions on others in a totally self-righteous manner, She seriously needs to grow up.
