Dear rash2222,
I didn't mean to butt in on your exchange with Tanyaz, but I wanted to clarify a couple of facts:
1) @red: Arjun tells Ovi very clearly that he is NOT doing it because of Manav. I do not know what more he could have done.
If he had told Ovi, out there in the street - as many in this forum have been advocating - that he was doing all this to win Purvi's hand, firstly, there would have been a hysterical scene that might have brought the police down on him fro apparently harassing a girl.
Secondly, those who complain do not seem to understand what monomania is like. Ovi would have attributed any such statement he made to some "majboori', exactly as she interpreted his confession to Manav. She would, next, have probably gone for Purvi with a kitchen knife a la Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. It was thus wise of Arjun NOT to have told her the true reason for his setting out on his own.
Arjun just wants to get away from her as quietly as possible, and that is what he does. He also knows that she will not be able to get at him in the future as she won't know where he is, and that makes him even less inclined to upset her and have a scene created on the spot.
2) @ green. Ovi states clearly that Arjun did NOT mention Manav's name. Then how can Archana think that Arjun would have told Ovi that he had done it all because of Manav?
Finally, if I were Arjun, I would not bother about winning or not winning Archana's trust. She is biased against him, and this not just without bothering to get the facts of the case from Purvi, but actually refusing to get them. She does not let Arjun get a word in edgeways while she is screaming at him like a banshee. (Archana's mannerisms in such scenes are invariably terrible, the worst kind of melodrama).
Arjun should concentrate on making good on his own for his own sake and Purvi's, not for Archana. As someone else pointed out, she would never have dared to say the kind of things she said to Arjun if either DK or Aashana had been there. She talks as though Manav rose to his present position entirely on his own, completely forgetting that Aashana saved his life and DK gave him his best chance to get ahead. Till then, Manav was practically on the streets. Ingratitude is the worst of sins.
As for Sulochana not worrying too much about Ovi, there is already a whole host of people hovering around Ovi, and one less will hardly matter. Purvi, on the other hand, has no one to support and advise her ( least of all her aai), except Sulochana aaji. I am thus very glad that Sulochana concentrates on Purvi and helps her get over her doubts and fears.
I am just waiting to see what happens if and when Ovi finds out that it was Archana's hectoring that drove Arjun to take the steps he has taken. I suspect that she will then take the kitchen knife to Archana. That would be something to look out for.
