I agree totally with Tanyaz .
Archna who was sort of trained never to think for herself actually got into touch with her own feelings due to her strange 15 day non consummated marraige [ which wud have been passsed off as a bad dream by many girls in thie world however ' great ' Manav may be ]..........and in the process , found her own self , just like Varsha did .
The fact remains that whatever Manju and Vinod said was actually true . Abuse is not necessarily physical . The horror of having a mother in law breathing down your neck like Savita did .........was also terrible abuse . The character assasinations she did especially , in public places , was also horrid abuse . Only yesterday here in the US we saw the episode where Savita barges in on her first day at office with Satish and tells her now close the door and do what u want with your yaar ............and the full office staff was listening . Frankly , any girl wud go into depression or commit sucide after living and enduring Savita..............the great looks of hot Manav or his silent love wud have taken a backseat long ago .
My anger against Manav's character is due to the fact that his love was not strong enough to shield Archana from that abuse during that 15 day stay or even afterwards . He buckled down when Savita threatened to leave the house and signed those papers . He tried to placate a dowry demand by supplying it himself instead of taking a hard stand against his mother . He told Archana to leave instead of telling his mother to back off in the engagement party . I find his mother worship more strong than his love for a simple , cultured girl who he knew very well was of excellent character .
Whatever Manju said , villain though she was , is true . Varsha had suggested long back that Savita needed to be handed over to the police . The worst part is even after this experience the woman wont change her colors . Her son pampers her far too much . Aai , AAi Aai as if she is some goddess . This puts me totally off against Manav . I understand his ire against Archu but give us a break with ur sainted mom .
I hate the fact that Savita continues with her manhoos Archana tirade . She was instrumental in breaking Archu Manav up with Manjus aid . I will feel Manav has evolved only if he truly takes a stand against Savita one day . Her punishment in the lock up obviously taught her nothing and she deserves a far more worse fate .
