I don't understand why fans here cry for logical stories when I rarely see fans here be logical themselves. The day Indian television producers see their audience can think for themselves maybe they will write decent stories.
I am not a fan of any of these couples. I could care less who ends up with who. None of them know the true meaning of love. If we went by their definition of love our lives would be ruined. I was watching the sbs video on both Ovi and Purvi being pregnant and the actress who plays Ovi was saying how Arjun is the reason all this is happening and he is the bad guy. When he goes to Purvi he says he can't forget her, when he comes to Ovi he says I am trying to forget my past but you have to help me and trust me. If you think about it then that is exactly what Ovi has been trying to do. She trusts Arjun when he says he has been trying to forget Purvi. Ovi is not a bad character, she doesn't go out of her way to make things miserable for these people. I mean think about it, if it wasn't for the misunderstanding that Purvi wants her husband, she doesn't even wish her ill. And which person doesn't have negative feeling toward our partner's ex? From where she stands, from all the things Punni says, from the circumstances that are created it does seem like Arjun and Purvi are carrying on an affair. She is not making these things up in her head. She has in the past tried to ignore these things but then something new appears.
Ovi by no means is right in her actions but neither are Arjun and Purvi. They are as much responsible for this as Ovi is. Arjun wasn't held at gunpoint when he got engaged to Ovi, and neither was was he held at gunpoint when he married her. He was not honorable at all in his actions. He was absolutely irresponsible when he broke Ovi's heart the first time. I don't understand how come none of us called him selfish then. He thought very little of what Ovi was going through. And he was actually her friend once. Now after he married her it's even worse. Any time he meets Purvi he tells her how he loves her. Even now, even after he is married, if Purvi had said yes to his advances he would leave Ovi in a heartbeat. So why is he not considered selfish?
The thing I realized about Indian tv is that the problems aren't these writers, or these characters. The problem is us!! We can't understand characters at all unless we are directly told by the show. Ovi is not a new type of spouse we have never seen on tv before. In many Ekta shows, take Kasam se for example Jai Walia was a very insecure spouse. He fell into Jigyasa's trap many times and kicked Bani out for thinking she had an affair with another man. But he was not bad, why? Because he is our leading man so how can he be bad. Sure he made mistakes but those can be overlooked since he is part of the leading couple. The way we judge these characters is absolutely ridiculous!! Arjun's character is much much worse than Ovi's.
Then people here also talk about values. Ovi sleeping with Arjun, her husband, the man she loves = disgusting! Purvi sleeping with her sister's ex, a man who is not her husband = beautiful! Ovi yelling at Purvi and accusing her for going after her husband= how dare she? Not once do people look at where Ovi is standing, from her perspective it does look like it. But Arjun slapping Ovi= Wah wah bravo!! I specially love how people here talk about their forced marriage. Ovi didn't force, she made a "deal" it was a proposition, where she would give something in exchange of Arjun. People here don't know what force means. Force implies there were no other option. Ovi only proposed a deal where even she knew her options of winning were low. Poor bechari, she couldn't even do the usual I will kill myself if you don't stop this. At least other girls in different shows have that leverage when blackmailing the heroine, because here neither her sister nor her former fiance/friend cared about her state. They were busy making marriage plans and having sex, while Ovi was planning to kill herself quietly. If anyone forced Arjun into this marriage it was Purvi. See this is how flawed people's judgement is here. Ovi is selfish for marrying the man she loves because he did not want to marry her, even though at this moment she is trying to be a good wife to him. But Purvi is not selfish for forcing him to marry a girl he did not love, where she didn't even know how his future wife might treat him. What kind of ridiculous scale do we judge these characters with? Only if Arjun would let her, Ovi would be an excellent partner to him. She didn't marry him for his money like other negative characters. She is supportive of him and his aspirations. She hasn't forced herself on him. She doesn't even blame him for abandoning her. This poor delusional girl holds him on a pedestal. All she wants is his love.
