I mostly agree with what you guys always come across as fair and very sensible ...but today I do differ on some points ..
I will not call Purvi apavitra or anything like that ..It is true that worse things have been done on this show than what Purvi did ...like Manav taking away two one year old babies from their mother and never checking on her for 18 years ...that is far far more apavitra than what happened i nthe hut ...
I also do not feel bad for Ovi ...she was asking for this .
But I do strongly believe that Purvi has betrayed her mother's trust .Actually Purvi broke my heart today

. I don't know wh yI am feeling so bad but I did not expect her to do his to Archana ..Archana allowed her and Arjun to meet each other and spend time with each other but no way she allowed them to have sex before marriage ( no middle class Indian woman would allow her daughter this ) ...Archana is not from that kind of a background ...Purvi always talked about middle class values and being a good sanskaari girl , she hated the idea of neighbours gossiping ...so what happned now ...this is not the kind of sanskaars that Archana must have have taught her ...
Purvi says one thing and does another ...
When Archana was raising her , she did not have her family with her and she was not even rich ..She worked day and night and gave the best she could to this girl ...for a middle class woman like Archana , her biggest asset was her izzat , her name and nothing else really ..
She was always under the scanner for being a wrong woman ( from her susraal ) , all she had was Purvi and nothing else ...
But Purvi just did not think about any of this ...
Archana will forever have to live with the tag of the mother of the daughter who got pregnant without getting married and that si a fact ..
Archana failed as a mother today , for me this is a very very sad fact . ..
What Purvi did is nothing to be proiud of at all .In fact I find it sad .
I am feeling very bad for Archana ..I know she will try and defend Purvi and her baby even now because parents are parents , they always try and be there for their kids ...she is trying to defend Soham also but I really did not think that Purvi would do this to her mother .
Now Purvi should stop talking so much about sanskaars and all that ..Just keep your mouth quiet and look after yourself and your baby ...
Archana and Purvi's rishta was the only rishta I liked i nthis show but the writers have butchered that as well today ...
Tanya, I am really sorry how this hurt you
i can see it in your posts of course. You are very honest about it.
I don't have the same feelings about this part of it as you and i don't have a problem with what happened there in the hut, nor do i feel that what happened betrayed her mother in and of itself. But we just differ on that point.
However, from the standpoint of the story itself, all this happening was definitely not in keeping with the characters of Purvi and Arjun that they had developed. The Purvi and Arjun they created would have acted differently... and yes, the Archana they created also will feel bad...maybe feel betrayed as you said. Although I am certain that once she sees the pain Purvi is in it won't matter. I only wish she could have seen the pain Purvi was in when she forced Arjun's marriage...Purvi is very very good at hiding her emotions. No fault of Archu to not see it as Purvi simply is able to convey she's ok when she's not... This kind of child needs more reassurance than the acting out child of Ovi. But you know, the squeaky wheel always gets the grease. Happens a lot.
Where I feel Purvi betrayed someone was of course forcing Arjun to marry Ovi. (but then, Arjun COULD have said no)..She betrayed the love of her life, and here she betrayed all that Archu did to approve the marriage. She did it for reasons that were good, but she was very wrong in her decision both about giving the happiness back to her mother, and for her own and Arjun's life. She panicked and didn't think. And as we all see, she is determined once she decides to do something 
I feel bad that you feel Archana failed as a mother. I don't think she did at all. Part of what happened was that Archana was the model of sacrficing her own happiness for others. Purvi watched this and wanted to be like her mother. As i said in another post, their strength is also their weakness.
