Tarred with the same brush!

Purvi needs a kick in her shins for abandoning Arjun at the last minute but deserves a worse fate for bundling him up hastily and delivering him in gaily colored wrapping and fancy bows (his wedding attire) to her tantrum throwing sister who had been kicking her heels because of the mere fact she had seen the doll first, years ago plus had wanted it badly for the last 5 years! No matter the doll was not hers to have and that wanting doesn't necessarily make something yours! Purvi too has treated Arjun no better than a Ken doll, a mere possession to be tossed hither and thither. She has very kindly bestowed him upon her whining sister who has been making a din about wanting the doll for herself. Both sisters have no value for love, both claim to love the guy, one thinks she can have him for the asking merely because she wants him; the other thinks she has him so she can gift him away without compunction; after all he is hers to dispose of how she chooses. Neither truly loves him, alas! They are both tarred with the same brush, that of Archana's values – one by way of blood, the other by way of upbringing. The two girls like their mother sit so high on a pedestal that they believe they are beyond the reach of reproach, one sits ensconced in her egocentric selfishness, the other in her mahaanta. It was Arjun's mistake to get embroiled with these two girls.

Arjun is not blameless in this charade. Purvi lost the rights to his love when she contemplated gifting him for the sake of her mother's elusive marital happiness. A guy with sense would have bolted, post haste out of that mandir, out of that mantap, out of Mumbai on to a plane straight out to Canada. Weakling that he is, he is now contributing to the already sad state of affairs in Mumbai with his tears, the flash flood situation has just worsened near the Karanjikar/Deshmuck residences. He has proved beyond a doubt that he is nothing but a Ken doll, Ovi had him pegged right from day one.

As for Ms. Mahaanta, she is precariously balancing her giddy dreams of resting her head on old man Manav's shoulder on a 19 year old's senseless sacrifice and another 19 year old's cold-faced blackmailing. I am sure Mother Mahaanta is properly grateful to both daughters for temporarily safeguarding her la la land dreams of living happily ever after with a man who has no gumption to claim her as his wife, a man who is lily-livered in the face of his mother's treachery and daughter's high voltage dramas. The husband must be preening himself, he could not give his daughter the toy she wished for but she has so cleverly procured it for herself as ill-gotten gains. Double cause for celebration, his pretty wife has landed plonk into his household (hopefully) forever without him moving a finger, thanks to his daughter who carries his inherited gene for selfishness. I wish the lady (Mahaanta) luck, the waters have gotten a little more sullied and a lot murkier around the Deshmuck household with the advent of the unwilling son-in-law. I bid adieu to Pavitra Rishta and welcome the melodrama, Apavitra Rishta which I might watch from time to time for comic relief and a hearty laugh.

Janhvi, tell me what is so wrong what Ovi did that she went ahead and grabbed her love….

To me, it is only a game of survival of the fittest that has been hailed as the best theory that explains the evolution of the human race. Ovi was strong, she used all the weapons of diplomacy to gain her love – love, hate, divide etc. right??

Even if we see Purvi so called 'falling in love' wasn't it that she was unconsciously selecting the best suitor that can fulfill her future need and provide the best in terms of food and shelter for her progeny…I am not saying this…this phenomenon is universally accepted fact that Women will unconsciously choose the fittest in the 'male species' to survive…eh, it this terms…Ovi just came out the strongest, she survived the race…so what is so wrong in that???

Beautifully said👏, the 2 sisters Purvi and Ovi have no values and respect for things like Love, Engagement, Marriage..Its just a Game they are playing and Arjun is the ball, they are tossing him from one side to the other, Ovi is playing Unfair, but Purvi happily alows it...this all is part of a much bigger game called PAVITRA RISHTA, the ppl who gave this name to the soap should get an award for "worst chosen title ever!"
