See, I disagree.
In reality (yeah yeah, I know this is DMG but lately I'm seeing glimpses of logic *hawww*. Did the CVs change??) we tend to burst at the most inappropriate and inopportune times. Not just a coincidence. Instead it's because the tension builds up, and then typically something triggers the outburst - something emotional, someone/something hitting a nerve, etc.
In this case, he's in pain coz of his past. And in this case circumstances are flaunting in his face - the fact that his past (his life that he's having such a hard time letting go) has not only moved on, but is happy. ANY HUMAN being is bound to be hurt and jealous. So he did the mahaan part by trying to help out, whether they needed it or not. But now he's dealing with the pain, in hiding and secrecy for the most part. BUT, when it's out-there-in-his-face, and his past, that he keeps thinking about, is very much in his present, with someone else as her hubby, dancing in front of him - it drives him to drink, and that in turn facilitates the outburst.
I think the CVs did it the most logical way they could have, really. Now I undersatnd why the bday was brought in. If this is how Shilpa finds out, or gets an inkling about Armaan's past, I'll like it. If this is how Sid gets more aware of Armaan's pain, I'll like it. And if this is how Armaan faces reality, and gets one step closer to getting over Ridzi, then I'll like it too.
All in all, I think it'll be a great thing - ArSh dynamics will change, I'd love to see how Shilpa reacts.
SidMaan dynamics will change, I'd love to see how they act in front of each other after that. I wanna see how Sid treats him after this. He's a good actor, would love to see the emotions on his face.
And well, R ... hmmm, I dunno if she'll bring anything new to the palette ... she'll be angry at A? Done that. She'll be uncomfortable? Did that too. She'll cry at the situation, did that many times ... But it'll be interesting to see a new level of maturity in her and Sid's relationship once they realize that Arm is in a lot of pain when he sees them together.
So all in all - I'm thinking this outburst, no matter when and where and how - was a long time coming. I'm hoping the CVs make good use of it.
One thing I dont' understand - and this isn't directed at the TM specifically - why are ppl so shocked that Arm is in so much pain? Seriously, I'm genuinely asking, totally baffled ...
If you've ever been in love, like the true love (no crush, a full fledged I-reciprocate-your-feelings kinda love), then you'll know it's extremely excruciatingly painfully difficult to get over someone. It's possible to love again, and be happy, but it takes time. I, for one, think they're being logical about the track, and also leading up to the ArSh and SR track ... don't get why ppl are upset to much ... đ
