The creatives have to show Savita becoming a little softer. Unless we think it's possible for Savita and Archana to coexist in relative amity, how can there be a happily-ever-after between Archana and Manav? Manav, like most Indian men, is hardly likely to up and leave his mum however atrociously she behaves with his wife. So the mum must be made somewhat more acceptable to audiences. Since the creatives have finally essayed some kind of effort at character complexity I suppose we should also be happy on aesthetic grounds, except that we're a generally grumbly and dissatisfied lot: we - and no doubt Archana herself - wanted Manav to be doing the carrying and bandaging and,look, khul ja sim-sim, we got Savita instead.
I did like the part where M looks at A through the kitchen window with his toothbrush foaming in his mouth. Natural touch there. Where we expecting too much from today's episode?
after seeing today's episode, i definitely will say that i expected too much.as you said i thought (after watching yesterday's precap) that the Manav's carrying period would start today, but he did nothing special for Archana, he could have done the same for any other person suffering in the same situation.i guess i thought that since that Shrav wouldn't be there, we would see more than what we saw yesterday.i just forgot in the process that Manav is still in the "tumne aane mein bahut der kardi" modus. i say so because while he was taking water he was indeed thinking that it's too late for him and Archu since his mother showed her "apnapan" only now.
and i expected too much also because i'm getting tired of this track, i want to see them together now, according to me they and WE have enough waited for a happy note in this serial.since september only suffering is being shown, we even were praying for Archu's accident to happen so that we can take a breath.but in a way what's happening makes sense, Manav cannot show his feelings so easily because he made a lot of effort to hide them 😕
