Contradicting many views, I frankly loved the precap! This post is basically, a defence for jeevika. I see many Jeevika bashing posts in the forum and this is just my try to understand Jeevika.
I think many people have pointed out the fact that no one is perfect. Everyone has their flaws. And so does Jeevika! Right now, i imagine her world is upside down... Yes she is being selfish, she is being overpossesive, she is being KMH (kabab mein haddi) for virman... But look at it from a different angle. Her behna, her mannu, her child is out of the nest now. She has always been sheltered, protected by Jeevika and getting a proposal from a boy is a clear indication that M is growing up. And then the overpossesiveness strikes. Virat may be her devar, but how does Jeevika know he is good for manvi? He wont hurt her, he really loves her, its not a mere infatuation like it was with maya? If you remember, Viren had to gain respect in manvi's eyes as well before she finally accepted him as her jiju. He proved that he loved jeevika and more importantly the care and love for viren from jeevika's side was enought to convince manvi. But manvi is still the child, she looks up to jeevika and if she sees J happy, she's happy. She wont question if jeevika is right or wrong. Jeevika is the elder one. She has a responsibility, she has to check and ensure that what manvi is doing is right. Yes often she does make mistakes, fails sometimes, but that is parvarish. How may times have we complained that our parents dont understand us?
She is the parent, she has to be extra careful with her child. Children make mistakes, they often tread on the wrong path and how does Jeevika know what feelings manvi has for virat? Even manvi does not know that yet! J would have been the first one to encourage and make mannu realise her love for virat had virat proved his worth first! I am not bashing virat, on the contrary i really like his character, however has he really proven his love yet? Love is not just about confessing! Love should have intensity, depth which virat's love for mannu definitely has but has J seen it? Has he ever proven it, there has neither been the situation or the maturity required... Virat has to stand on his own two feet, overcome the pain and sacrifice in love which i hope the cancer track will be succesful in. So I am back to square 1. Even though Virat is J's devar, she knows and likes him, she is not aware of the depth of his love... To her this plan of the VV brothers may hurt manvi and leave her mannu, her child permanently scarred. And she will not let anyone do that, be that her devar or her own husband. Till now, Jeevika's insecurities were being portrayed as comic. We havent seen her ferocious side yet. And the precap is avery good sign according to me for her character to emerge out as a stronger one.
VV brothers had not accounted the feirceness of the Jeeman bond in their plans, yes they had taken in account of manvi's nature and the fact she will never go against jeevika, but they hadnt planned on Jeevika's fierceness, her willingness to take a stand, fight tooth and nail, do anything and everything to ensure her sister does not get hurt or suffer, and most of all they hadnt accounted her turning against them. No one really has seen the wrath of jeevika have they? Well we are going to see it it in hopefully about a months time. , If not wrath, then atleast a heavy emotional outburst. Against cancer, and well against viren and virat as well , and swamini too hopefully in future :)
I would say it again I feel virat has to prove his love and then, only then he shall be accepted by Jeevika.
P.S : It is not my intention to cause a world war III in the forum.Nor is it my intention to bash virat, viren, manvi or anyone in Ek hazaron mein. If you disagree with my views, please voice it out, i am all ears but no flames please.
What do you think ? Thoughts?

Nice observation I totally agree with you. I am sure Virat will prove his love for Maanvi once he find out about her cancer, then Jeevik may feel guilty for coming between Virman after she realizes that Virman love each other. Virman might sacrifice each other love for the family sake, then Viren will be very hurt and Jeevika will see the pain in her sister eyes. The Jeevir will bring Verman together that what I think what say?

Thanks for replying! Nice prediction, that could possibly be the way things end up :)
Like you said ,once Jeevika realizes Virat truly loves her and manvi as well reciprocates his feelings, she will be the first one to try and get them back together. I really do hope that happens!Who better than Jeevika to fix the alliance between Virman? 😃

I agree with everything you said.

Jeevika is the weakest character in the show. If you compare all four protagonists, then you'll realize that. Although Maanvi had a tough time accepting Jeevika's marriage, I doubt that Jeevika ever thought that Maanvi would ever love someone so much, other than her or someone would love her romantically. This is just her possessiveness coming out. She cant claim Maanvi, because after marriage, Maanvi isnt hers anymore. So this is all she can do. She maybe even worried about the families' reputation but then, this is what is actually bothering her but she doesnt realize it. Jeevika was always the responsible one who never really voiced out her feelings, where as Maanvi always did. So if you see, Maanvi wasnt so lost but since Jeevika doesnt do that, this is how she is reacting.

Personally, I love the behna relationship. And that is what attracted me to this show. And though, I dont agree with all the thing done by Jeevika, Im still a behna fan (although more of a VirManian, I am an EHMMBHian) I really wish people would stop bashing her.

PS - No offense to any one. Im not pointing fingers.

I agree with ya...(i am a hard core VM fan btw :P) M not a J hater,and I understand her pov too..I know(atleast m hoping) she will truly support VirMan when she will realise the true depth of love that Virat has for Manvi.
though m slightlyyy disappointed cause i had expected her to be a good bhabhi too,but yes,she is a mother cum elder sister first..
For me,the most ideal scenario would have been Jeevika trying to measure the depth of Virat's love for Manvi, instead of trying to 'separate' VM directly.Viraat is no stranger to her,he might be irresponsible but he is a nice and genuine guy,who has family values..If you find a good guy for your sister,esp the one who's already related to you,you will try to see if he's a good choice or not,instead of rejecting him straightforward..AS in,give him a chance to prove himself instead of rejecting the idea of their relationship so bluntly...anyways, i dont really mind it as even if she doesnt give him a chance directly,unknowingy she is...cause now Viraat will prove himself on his own...
Also,i dont like the reason given for it,ie.,for the harmony in two families..but then,from the starting,her character has been shown to obey the authorities(only Swamini,in this case)
So all in all,she is also flawed like others.This step of hers has its pros and cons both..She is right in some ways and wrong in other ways. :)
And I for one,dont hate/dislike her for this..

I think it has more to do with the fact that Swamini is constantly on Jeevika's back and constantly spewing bs about Manvi in front of her own sister that Jeevika has no choice but to keep Virat away. Who wants to hear such things about their own sister from their sasural. Jeevika has been shown to be the weakest character but that is only because she is not as outward as Manvi. Jeevika has great inner strength.

CVs have butchered Jeevika's character but they can still redeem her. I agree with you Priya. Jeevika just needs to know that Manvi also loves Virat (whenever she realizes her feelings Jeevika will know) and that Virat's love is true. She will become cupid and support them. Frankly, it's nice to see Virat working hard for something for a change, he is slowly getting back into character, he was the guy who always fought for the right thing but that trait of his got lost in the middle. Right now Manvi is what's right and he is fighting.

jeevika is not a villian. she always treated maanvi as her child and so maanvi will always remain a child for her. jeevika is just protecting her. she is doing all this coz she don't want anyone to blame maanvi for virat maya break up...especially swamini bua..i think she won't be having any problem with virat maanvi relation if that maya incident hadn't took place...i love jeevika and viren and excited for virika scenes after accident..

Although Maanvi had a tough time accepting Jeevika's marriage, I doubt that Jeevika ever thought that Maanvi would ever love someone so much, other than her or someone would love her romantically. This is just her possessiveness coming out. She cant claim Maanvi, because after marriage, Maanvi isnt hers anymore. So this is all she can do.

Jeevika was always the responsible one who never really voiced out her feelings, where as Maanvi always did. So if you see, Maanvi wasnt so lost but since Jeevika doesnt do that, this is how she is reacting. Exactly! I think many people have pointed out she is being jealous. Yes she is being jealous! Manvi like you said is a very vocal character. She'll say what she thinks, she openly expressed her feelings and insecurities to Jeevika, during the mussourie stay. Whereas Jeevika, is the shy girl who prefers to keep her thoughts to herself. Jeevika may mask it as concern for family pride, but subconsciously she is aware of what manvi patching with virat may mean. She has realised Virat may end up carving a big space for himself in manvi's heart and J is not liking it one bit. So she has started reacting to it, trying to keep virman as far as possible from each other, in her own subtle ways. Jeevika is a character who expresses her thoughts and emotions subtly. You have to catch it on.
Personally, I love the behna relationship. And that is what attracted me to this show. And though, I dont agree with all the thing done by Jeevika, Im still a behna fan (although more of a VirManian, I am an EHMMBHian) I really wish people would stop bashing her. I agree ,Jeevika is not god. Her actions are not really justified sometimes. But when her sister comes into the picture, i think all her rational thinking and principles fly out of the window. I am not saying what she is doing/ what she did was right, frankly i actually hated her for a while during the throwing your behna out of the house sequence. But what I'm just trying to say is everyone is flawed. And so is Jeevika. She wouldnt be human if she didnt have any flaws. Her intentions are right, her heart is in the right place, but I can understand people's frustrations regarding her actions :)

PS - No offense to any one. Im not pointing fingers.

Thanks for replying. I really enjoyed reading your post 😊
My thoughts are in blue by the way.
