Archan being manipulative : If the question is whether Archana befriended Madhuri for the sole reason of brain-washing / cleverly persuading her to divorce Dharmesh so that Vaishali can have him, my answer would be an emphatic NO. It was madhuri who has been shown taking this decision on her own , not under anybody's influence. Also, I do not think Archana has enough brains to do that else she would have used them in the past for her own cause. It needs a rasika-type brain and capability to do that sort of thing.
Both Archana and manav think with their heart and not their brain, fortunately or unfortunately!
Vishwap i always loved all ur posts. u come across as someone very calm n composed n think very deeply b4 u answer n i must say if u read my previous posts we have said practically the same thing esp the underlined words.
Manipulators r shrewd n our Archu even if she wants she wont b able 2 manipulate ppl. She is too average n knucklehead 2 scheme n conspire.
Archana being foolish : If she wants Vaishali to go back to Dharmesh for whatever reason, she is being really foolish in my opinion. In any case , she can only suggest. It is for Vaishali to take the final decision and face whatever that comes with it!
Agree again. Foolishness at its peak here.
In India, when such situations (mainly infidelity) occur in real life, I have seen varied responses depending on the wife's personality / situation mainly.
If she is city-bred, youngish and economically independent (or has support), she would go in for a divorce without much hesitation. If she is economically dependent , not-so-young and (mainly) with kids, she would be forced to hang on unwilingly due to social pressure and economic situation ( somewhat like Madhuri). There is also a fair percentage of women who actually believe in the " pati-parmeshwar" theory and reconcile to such a situation as long as it does not affect their domestic life! It is a very sad and difficult situation to be in and every decision taken comes with pros and cons! In a typically Indian middle-class family, the first attempt even today is towards a reconciliation / compromise especially from the woman's side and divorce is usually the last resort. This is a sad reality!
I guess u r right. This is why Manohar immediately asked Vaishu 2 calm down n not 2 make any haste decision. For every woman irrespective of her personality n self concept, this experience is humiliating n upsetting because when u realise that u have been disrespected n the emotional investment u have put in such a relationship has not been worthwhile it's bound 2 give the person a severe blow. Mads must have gone thru it but has accepted 2 compromise n live with it coz of the reasons u mentioned above. Vaishu i guess is another league n she is quite realistic n if she wants she can move on, provided that she gets the support of her dear ones.
As 4 Archana thinking of the reconciliation, well she is a mini Sulo in her thinking n we shud not b surprised. She has been molded this way. I want 2 stress here that Sulo gave her the right sanskaar. She has a gud heart n is not jealous of others. She is a gud human being though foolish at times coz of her following the logic of the heart most of the time, a severe drawback at times in this " scientifically logical" world
