Manav and Archana to marry in Pavitra Rishta

I have been watching episodes after episodes of Pavitra Rishta hoping that Manav and Archana will get together finally. And today's episode (12th November 2010) finally had the twist. With Jayvant's truth being revealed (yet again) and Shravani opting out from the wedding (she 'allowed' Manav to marry Archana), the serial was worth watching today. I hope now there's no more stretching in the story.

Pavitra Rishta's Archana slaps Dharmesh!

Now the 7th October episode of Pavitra Rishta was full of drama, emotions and action. Archana has had enough and when she discovers that she had been cheated into signing a declaration against Manav, she loses her temper and how. It's weird how Dharmesh justifies the action. The heat rises in presence of the entire extended family (Satish and Jayvant's families as well). It reaches to a point when Darmesh questions and insults Archana's existing relation with Manav and she slaps him tight. Of course,that calls for a walkout by Dharmesh, Satish and Jayvant's families.

Later, Archana's mother Sulochana reprimands her. Archana is heartbroken and decides to support the innocent Manav.

Now Laali makes a sacrifice in Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo!

What's with the sacrificing and compromising trend in Hindi television serials these days? Already Archana of Pavitra Rishta has easily qualified to become the television actress with maximum sacrifices to her credit. And now that for some reason I am hooked to Zee TV serials along with my favorite SAB TV, almost all the soaps are gradually focusing on sacrifices / compromises made by women. Be it Simi of 12/24 Karol Bagh or Archana and Vandita of Pavitra Rishta, every serial is currently on a similar track.

Now in the 31st March episode of Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo, it is Kaushalya who shoots Mukul and accidentally even Ratna. But Laali takes the blame upon herself and tells the police that she's the culprit. Kaushalya looks on in disbelief but does not utter a word! Why? Coz Laali made her 'swear' that she'll not reveal the truth! I hope to see Kaushalya confessing the crime. Let's wait and watch!

Height of sorrow in Zee TV's Pavitra Rishta

Somehow I started watching Pavitra Rishta regularly, a serial that was well-received during the award shows. However, isn't there too much sorrow happening in the show now? If Vandita's misery was not enough, Manav is facing problems with his garage, the sole source of his household income.

As always, Archana is still sacrificing. And now Archana too is being asked to leave the house. Ever since I have started watching Pavitra Rishta, there hasn't been a single episode without some sad stuff. I really wanna watch the show, but if this dukh-dard continues for a few more days, I'll opt for some other show.

It’s all about exposing in television serials on September 14 2009

TV serials Bidaai and Pavitra Rishta of September 14 2009 added to the list of serials that happen to cover a similar incident on the same day. Well height of coincidence or whatever, with the burgeoning number of television serials across the ever-increasing number of TV channels, what else can you expect!

In the Star Plus serial Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai (on September 14), Ranvir decides to expose Vasundhara and he’s all set with a plan. On the other hand, Ambika who actually killed Ranvir’s grandfather is up to something as well. It’s the high point of the serial when the truth about the murder of Ranvir’s grandfather is to be revealed.

On the same day, in Zee TV serial Pavitra Rishta, Manav vows to expose Ajit after discovering that he’s the one responsible of tarnishing Archana’s image. But Ajit too is up to something and has a proper plan in place to save himself.

Well, such coincidences continue to amuse me. Let’s see what’s next!
