EX BOYFRIEND?
I find this tag very insulting to the kind of relationship that was built over 2.5 years by the creators of this show. Of course, they have made Sid the scapegoat here and made him say these words, but as an avid AR fan, I find this term extremely degrading for AR.
In this day and age, when people fall in and out of love faster than they change their wardrobes, ex boyfriends and girlfriends are acceptable terms, but AR love story is way beyond a mere boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
How many ex bf/gf take a bullet for their bf/gf?
How many ex bf/gf take a risk and stay with their love despite a terrorist threat in the hospital?
How many ex bf/gf stay with their bf/gf when there is a time bomb ticking to explode?
How many ex bf/gf go on hunger strike just to convince their parents of their love?
How many ex bf/gf are willing to commit suicide rather than marry someone else?
The list is endless.
Unfortunately, Sid has not witnessed what A and R mean to each other- Please Sid don't trivialize this eternal and way-beyond-words relationship to an ex boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Armaan and Riddhima never broke up in worldly terms so they can never be each other's ex! They are still alive in each other, and no one dare refer them as each other's ex!
You all can tell how slighted I felt today after hearing Sid refer to Armaan as her ex boyfriend!
