Hello everyone,
I am a fairly new viewer of PR. I have managed to get caught up to the show quite well, at least up to all that has happened after the 18 year leap.
When it comes to the Arjun/Purvi/Ovi scenario, I am not able to support the Arjun/Purvi relationship.
Let me clarify this first of all, I absolutely do not have a problem with Arjun and Purvi falling in love. I had been completely okay with them, in fact actually loved their chemistry, until the moment Arjun decided that it would be okay to get engaged, keep quiet about it for a long time, and keep pursuing Purvi on the side.
Arjun, and his actions, have been the biggest reason why I stopped liking Arjun/Purvi. I stopped liking Arjun, individually, when he couldn't muster the truth about loving Purvi and keeping mum on the day of the engagement. He lied to the girl he loved about his marriage already being set-up with Ovi. He put Manav and DK's friendship at risk. AND he lied to his childhood friend and strung her along while he was in love with someone else.
Simply put, Ovi deserved better. Whether you consider her a spoiled brat (I do too) or not, it does not excuse what Arjun did. On top of engaging her, keep her in the dark, and leaving her, he did not bother to properly and sensitively try to explain things and apologize to Ovi. Did he not have any consideration for her feelings, simply as her friend? Not fiancee, but as her friend, did he not care about her? Because to me, it looks like he did not care.
Now let's talk about Purvi. I like her too but not as much. I will say that I like her more than Arjun. I completely felt for and supported Purvi until the Arjun/Ovi engagement because she, too, did not know about Arjun two-timing her and Ovi. However, after that, I feel that Purvi should have stuck to her initial reaction. The main thing I have a problem with Purvi about is again Ovi. Purvi considers Manav to be her "baba", meaning father. If she considers him her father, does that not make her and Ovi sisters?
I don't know about Purvi, but if I found out that the guy I was in love with was also lying to my sister and getting engaged to her, I would seriously question his love for me. How do I know he won't betray me if he betrayed his childhood friend? I would never look at him or speak to him again. But that is just me. I'm not saying she should be that drastic, just that she seemed to more easily fall back toward him than I expected.
I know I sound like I'm making Ovi the victim. I'm not. I am not a huge fan of Ovi either. But in this entire situation, she has been the one to suffer the most emotionally, in my opinion. Not only was she dumped by the guy she loved for so long, but he did not care to check up or properly apologize to her either. On top of it, her mahaan mother is fully supporting the Arjun/Purvi marriage, which I am completely fine with! But does Archana have to rub it in Ovi's face everytime?! How is Ovi supposed to get any impression other than the fact the clearly Archana loves Purvi more than her?
Oh and let's not forget her 'loving' grandmother, Sulochana, parading in to announce Arjun and Purvi's engagement.
Can you imagine your relationship, your engagement breaking and your mother supporting the girl marrying your ex-fiancee, showing it off in your face, and rubbing salt in your wounds? I know I wouldn't like you. Whether you will, it's up to you.
Moving on, I do not support what Ovi is doing right now, trying to crack a deal with Purvi. I agree with the general consensus that she needs to get over Arjun and move on with her life. I hope she is able to do that and the writers/producers/whoever creates the stories does not villify and ruin her character.
If Arjun/Purvi fans see this as hating them, then I will let them because I am not hating anyone. I am simply expressing what my opinion is based on my observations of the show so far. I respect everyone's opinion here and I am not trying to change anyone's opinion either. Of course, everyone's welcome to share how they feel. 😊
