archana's character is supposed to be a mother of five grown up kids...yet her character is being dressed looking younger than her daughters...she is no longer wearing saris like a good wife and bahu...she now wears strictly shalwar suits while purvi wears the clothes of an older married lady...her hairstyle and everything else is younger in wear...
She looks a little older than purvi but teju and sometimes ovi depending on clothes look older than her. I think the actress dresses like this now coz she wants to look younger maybe as a take tht to the cvs for making her a mom of grown kids or grandma 😛
