Swagatam!!š You are all welcome to this week's JJKN Discussion. The topic for the week is
JASSI, ARMAAN AND PURAB
You are all too familiar with this love triangle, especially with the reruns going on. There was a time when JJKN fans were nearly equally divided between Armaan and Purab, the contenders for our Jassi's heart. Though JandA ended up togetherš³, some question about Purab's role in this story still linger:
1. Purab was rich, good-looking and decent, and loved Jassi a lot. Yet Jassi chose the arrogant, at times manipulative Armaan Suri over him. Why?
For me , Jassi started loving Arman coz in the entire world when everyone was rejecting her for her looks and dispresepcting her it was only Arman who gave her a job, respected her and infact protected her from so many insults . In that way she was naturally attracted to him and then it slowly developed into love infact I would say more of Devoted love who didnt care if he reciprocated her love or not , something like Meera but then when he did ( fake love) reciprocate, she fell for him hard and her feelings came out and she wanted the love . As for Purab, its just that love didnt happen from Jassi's side , she looked at him as a friend but her feelings for Arman was more than friendship which started as devoted love and then developed into deep human love .
2. Do you think that if Jassi had met Purab before she joined Gulmohur, she would still have fallen for Armaan?
hmmmmmmmm........I dont think so .I think Jassi would have fallen for Arman again as I think she wanted someone who was completely opposite to her and who would come like a storm and just blow her away and Arman did just that.
3. Why do you think Purab ran away 2 days before his engagement with Jassi?
Purab ran away coz the scriptwriters wanted it that way. I remember reading that apurva put his foot down when his role was bcoming more negative to accomdate Purab so the makers decided to chop his role and thus this was a way they found to make his character dissapear from the serial .
4. What was your reaction when he landed up in Mauritius?
My exact reaction was " Oh God , not again " , I had always been irritated by Purab mainly coz I just didnt identify with a person who was absolutely white and also I wasnt impressed with Samir Soni's acting.
5. Was it right for Jassi to accept Purab's help in becoming Jessica Bedi, knowing that he had ditched her before?
Anything post makeover didnt make sense . The jesica bedi times were horrible and very illogical so It didnt make sense at all that she took the help of Purab even after he ditched her . The only explanation i can come up with is that perhaps she overlooked the betrayal for a greater cause and thats " revenge from Arman and gang"
6. Both Armaan and Purab had hurt Jassi terribly. What did Armaan have that made Jassi still trust and go back to him, declining Purab's love?
The best part of Arman was that he never gave up. He never sacrificed and he would constantly try to get what he wanted . Like during the jealousy days , he would pester Jassi to accept that she loved him and also confess his love to her every single episode . That was the way he was, he wouldnt give up and that must have melted Jassi . Purab was just a friend and so there was no question of going back to him and most importantly she didnt love him . Love cannot be forced , also as jessica she saw Arman's true love for Jassi and that must have made her realise how much he loved her and also her love never faded away and she inspite of everything still loved him deep inside.
I hope you enjoy answering these questions. Have a great week!! š¤
Love,
