DOTW-- Physically Seperated, Emotionally United

This week we saw two families's uniting... or well more like dissipating. Is there any truth to what Avantika presented? Can two best friends remain married with only friendship as the foundation? Is it necessary for two people to come from the same background?

One thing I've found interesting is how parallel Harish and Avantika's Jodi is with Adi and Pankuri's. Have you all noticed? During the same time Adi and Pankuri got married, Avantika and Harish too are getting roped into resolving their differences. They attend a counseling session, and later that night Adi and Pankuri also play a game similar to what Adi's parents did. Avantika and Harish go out for an "outing" Adi and Pankuri too go out on an "outing."

So what does this parallel relationship hold for them? Can Adi and Pankuri overcome their differences and set an example for his parents?

What will this 15 day separation entail? Will PaYa be able to prove Avantika wrong once and for all?

And where does Rubel come into play? Up until now he's not been of much importance besides his entry. Will his real intentions start now?

Questions, questions, questions!

Please PLEASE do share your thoughts on this, and you don't need to stick to this topic and question. Feel free to divert or include any other thoughts on PaYa and the happenings! But just participate!!! 

Thanks Sharna for this wonderful topic. Let me tell you just 2 lines about myself. I'm almost 40 and being married for the last 8 years. In real life I have always heard my elders saying 2 or 3 things about marriage. 1. Husband can turn out to be the best friend of his wife, but a best friend rarely turns out to be a good husband. 2. Saadi ke baad pati-patni ko akhir kar ek dusre se pyaar hohi gata hain. 3. If you are honest and committed to a relationship it will always succeed. From my real life experience I have found all these to be 100% true.

Coming to PAYA, I don't know how many of you will agree with me but Adi has been a caring husband all the way without realizing it. Keeping fast on Karwa-chowth for his wife, I dare question how many so called perfect husbands show the will and guts for that. He has taken tips from even stranger to become a responsible husband. His commitment toward Pankhuri and their relationship has been beyond any question. Till date he has never let Pankhuri down in any crisis situation. The ongoing dilemma in Adi clearly shows he wants to believe in love, but he fears if Pankhuri does not think the same way he might lose her, Particularly looking at his parents, who once loved each other, but now almost poles apart from each other. He does not want love to be the cause of losing Pankhuri. Adi's biggest problems has been Pankhuri actually being his best friend turned wife and secondly they have never stayed together ever since they got married. If you remember the scene at Harish's place when he locked the door to talk to Pankhuri, does any one of you think the look in his was for his best friend?... never.

Surely they will prove Avantika wrong. The main reason being Pankhuri herself. She is neither as rigid nor as impatient or snobbish as Avantika. She understands the real meaning of relationships. She is matured and the perfect counterfoil for Adi. PKDH is only a story but if we find any couple like PAYA in real life, take my words they will be one of the happiest couple you would have ever seen.

Thanks
