We need to spread the word- STOP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Archana is setting such a bad example to all women watching PR. She portrays that you should take all crap from your mom in law- pushing , shoving, insults, throwing out of the house, not giving food etc... People will call you mahan.. oh she is so strong.. It needs strength to endure all this..
Her husband is committing bigamy... she goes out of her way to support him. Its my Patni Dharam to support his decision- she cries hoarse.. And people again tch -tch Oh she is so great, you need strength to accept all this....
I am actually appaled at all this. Is this we want the real Chawl women to learn... To keep silent and endure all BS. If you do so you are a heroine... This is the right thing to do...
PR team should try to create a right picture here. It is OK to sacrifice to some extent... but if everything is SOOOOO wrong the woman need to take stand.. they need to fight for what is rightfully theirs.
That is what I call strength.. A strong character knows when to fight and when to accept....

Definition of strength is different in the dictionary of BT CRs.Archana was never strong in fightin for her rights.
Manav and Archana are two fools who like to live for others...whether they r strong or weak people varies from a person's perspective.
I find them quite human who commit mistakes under the pressure of circumstances n out of their own inherent lack of practical thinking....and yes I dont want to be like them...but I cant help likin them either

no but gauri , honestly Archana is doing too much
THis cannot be the example of a good person at all .
What is this.....going around the chawl telling people bear with my hubbys marraige , bear with my hubbys marraige .........chee chee .
I understand that without this stupid track there wud be no storyline but this is too unreasitic and too much for anyone to swallow .
I too have read quite some posts stating that this is some kind of beautiful strength .this endurance , I find it apalling that our minds have been affected by these same old stories in serials to this extent that we think what she is doing is beautiful . It is not .PR has shown complete degradation of woman in the form of Archana .Today Shravni told her to shut up and not interfere yesterday she pulled her by the hand .Doesnt Archu habve any shame whatsoever taking all this BS ? And everyone goes on blaming Shravni .Well Shravni is wrong , But Archana isnt , is it , for taking this ? I think Its Archu who desrves a real hard slap and blasting from some one elderly and questions about what it is that she is exactly trying to portray or prove . And even after 3 months Manavs problems r never gonna end then what is she going to do , live on the road opposite the chawl like a beggar woman and protect him from there ? And we r going to sigh saying What love , What love ?
I guess then we r really even more crazier than the creatives , why blame them ? I pereffered the earlier Archna who went with her mom and didnt talk to Manav when he attempted to talk to her . At least she was real , human .This unreal goddess sickens me .

Kool,I hav seen a lot many people who behave just like Archana did today,so I dont find her unrealistic...but yes I dont identify with them neither do I idolise them.

I would rather like Varsha to be en example for me than Archana.
But there are people who wud love to b like Archana...whether Archana is an example solely depends on the viewer's perspective...wht I mean is when someone wants to be like Archana it will not matter to them whether Archana is the lead or the side-actor...the same goes for Varsha....I believe wht is bad example for us is definitely good for lot many out thr for whom the BT CRs r creating such characters.
There are qualities tht make Archana a good example as well as those tht make her a bad one...your choice completely.

Tanya...Archu is lovely no doubt...but wud u b like people who will allow themselves to b manhandled ? Or shud people give up on education and jobs for others?Archu shud redeem herself a bit here. I believe when u say there were more people like her , its abt her loving,caring and selfless attitude not the inferior complex tht she has got for which she blames herself for everything.
Archu+confidence-inferior complex==>>my role model😊

yeah , she needs education and needs to earn her own money ..
She will one day ....as soon as she gets out of this place ...
You are right , archana would be the perfect person with the kind of selfless loving and caring nature along with education and her own hard earned money ' such a woman can go on to do so many good thing , special things ....because I do believe that she is a mentally strong person ....juts her circumstances , her luck and this husband she is so crazy about , they are just not favouring her at all .
But she will get out of this ....I have a lot of faith in her goodness and also her abilities to get a nice job and maybe a degree one day ..

well then to each his own .But my POV is
Archana shames us women . Women r not kachra . She reduced herself to kachra . U wanna know why Shravni pulled her by the hand ? Coz Archna took it .Varsha wud have turned around and twisted Shravnis little wrist . Everyone blamed Shravni , no one blamed Archna .
May i ask why ? If Archu has guts to slap Ajit , why not shravi?
Archna doesnt stand up for herself , she did not slap Ajit even after knowing that he sent her to brothel . She even didnt want police complaint made against AJit so that two families will be destroyed ...see the understanding looks between her and her devta pati Manav the lallu . See the immensely stupid decisions Archna takes .Letting a demon like Ajit go free like this may lead to other women being abused coz Ajit has real bad blood in him . But Archna didnt think that way . Now when Vandu is almost raped she went and slapped Ajit , why was this slap not given when she understood that Ajit sent her to brothel ..........coz she gives no importance to her own self and this is supposed to be something GREAT for us women is the infuriating message in this serial .
She sleeps on the kitchen floor on a chaddar ? Boss , shes there on a court order ! If the court is notified that everyone in the house sleeps on a mattress and only she sleeps on a mat , they will put them inside prison for ill treating her . She eats food inside the kitchen and doesnt mind howmuchever she is pushed or shoved just so she can get few moments of boo hoo haa haa on that Manavs shoulder ?
What example does she set for her younger sis Vaishu or even Vandu ? To top it after doing all this BS she actually teaches her sisters to follow her GREAT path and become losers .......sell ur jewellery and give money to bro , become a bhikaari and stand there without anything in ur neck , ears [ like she is now] .....when u go to sasural be grateful u got that sasural , become shakkar .in other words , suffer abuse but dont go to maayka ?
Arre then why the hell did she go on the Satryanarayan day after seeing those pictures ? That too she shud have tolerated and stayed there na ? So what if pati is photographed with various prostitutes , do ur DHARMA and swallow even that BS , as it is , now she is tolerating even worse BS than that !Any logic there ?
She devalued education and is suffering all this voluntarily . Thats the reason I stopped feeling anything dfor her ......in my eyes God too cannot help those who dont wish to help themselves . For two hours in the evening she could not go to nightschooll or study quietly in kitchen ?No she is defending Shravni to chawl women inspite of Shravni telling her to butt out .
Today i felt real good when Shravni told her I dont care and I will go . She suddenly became silent . She has lost track of simple etiquette that HELP ONLY WHEN U R ASKED TO .Otherwise it becomes ANNOYING .
Archna shows WRONG path to women sso I dont feel for her .IF I worked in a center for abused women I wud show them Varsha , and when I show then Archu it wud categorically be to tell them NOW THIS IS SOMETHING TO BE AVOIDED . THIS IS HOW ABUSE INCREASES ...........by tolerating it , U encourage it .

Archana needs a backbone. This world runs on one rule that is 'survival of the fittest' not survival of the weakest. If you do not stand up for your own right then everyone will walk over you. That is life. However in our society whoever keeps quiet and takes all crap is considered "GOOD". If you are a middle class woman and you raise your voice you are considered obnoxious. This is exactly what is being portrayed in this serial. Ekta always says that she makes serial for the ordinary people and this is what the ordinary people want to see, I guess.

I have always wanted to raise my voice against the open exhibition of domestic violence. You do not have to be physically abused, mental abuse is equally bad. Savita does exactly that and Archana the "ideal bahu and daughter" accepts it and allows her mil to do that. Manav is a husband who lives for others but never stood up for his own wife, never utters a word when his mom openly abuses his wife.

He is keener on saving his brother's girlfriend who is pregnant before marriage and is falling in love with a married man. What kind of a social portrayal is this??????
