Tanya, just had the opportunity to read all the posts on this thread. Loved, loved all you said about Manav, Arjun and of course, that Ovi!
Arjun, sadly, is turning out to be a man with clay feet, Manav does seem terrified of his daughter or at least of the scenes Ovi has a habit of creating, and yes, he likes/tolerates Purvi only for Archana's sake.
As for Ovi, the less said about her disgraceful, atrocious behavior the better, not only towards Farooq but also towards Purvi. She is totally mannerless, abnoxiously spoilt, and self-centered, the world revolves around her and no other, really pitiful and disappointing, the way this girl has turned out.
Loved Thanee's post, and Abi's, and several others'. Agree 100% with the person that wrote we adapt our parenting style to the personalities of our children but the core principles with which we raise them should not differ from child to child. Manav needed to have been uniform in his handling of all his children, Sachin, Teju and Ovi, at least when it came to teaching them respect towards elders and fellow human beings, Ovi was left on the back burner when this lesson was imparted, I am guessing.
