Amazing, amazing, amazing post! 👏
SO much to say but will do when I'm not busy. So for now reserved.
:D
Edited:
I promised so here I am (hopefully you'll see this).
So here goes nothing:
Armaan. Riddhima. Armaan and Riddhima. 3 years ago no one said one name without saying the other. It was routine. Armaan and Riddhima. Two sides to one coin. Two bodies, one soul/heart/love. If I look back at what they were when they first met I think of two young people trying to leave their mark in the world. Armaan the prankster and Riddhima the focused/determined but fun loving 'basket'. Armaan's 'basket'. But that was Riddhima Gupta. When they first met everyone was rooting for the both of them. I mean how could you not, they were perfect for each other. However the Riddhima Modi we are seeing now is not the same 'basket' that fell in love with Armaan. What can I say that others haven't already said? They both have changed. They both have been through difficult situations and they both have changed accordingly. They were both so young when they fell in love and most people have been brought up with the notion that love can conquer all and what not. Their love at first did seem invincible. I mean they had gone through so much already and here they were FINALLY on the verge of getting married. But life happens. Their lives were taken and thrown upside down and soon the two young lovers were forced to grow up and realize that the world is harsh and cold place. They learned the hard way the both of them. Riddhima refused to believe that Armaan could've left her. She looked everywhere for him she almost killed herself. The thing is Armaan and Riddhima have never been with each other their most awful and rawest state. Sid was with Riddhima when she almost tried to kill herself. Armaan may have had no one but now he has Shilpa.
So what if A&R do get back together. They can never be the Armaan and Riddhima they were before the shootout. Riddhima would never be able to forget Sid and Armaan could never live with himself for breaking their marriage apart seeing as how Sid is one of his closest friends. For the sake of argument lets say they did still love each other. Relationships don't strive on just LOVE. You can't make a relationship work on the sole basis of 'made for each other', 'they are soulmates' arguments. You need trust and understanding. Armaan has said this on numerous occasions and I agree with him; Riddhima has never understood him. He was the one who tried to make their relationship work and whenever they fought Riddhima was the first to blame him. He always tried and he understood her. If you look at Riddhima and Sid's relationship BOTH of them are trying. Riddhima has understood Sid much better in the past few months than she has ever understood Armaan in the past two years. Sid has seen Riddhima at her worst and has risen with her. Armaan has been at his worst and he will rise out of it too. Armaan is holding onto the woman he once loved not the woman Riddhima is now. And I agree with the TM that Riddhima is a little freaked out because she isn't used to seeing Armaan with other girls. I think it all comes down to the fact that Armaan has always done the chasing. he pursued her and hence she fell in love with him. Riddhima took comfort in the fact that he would possibly always love her. But he can't go on loving her, he's only human and his crave for being loved in return is catching up to him.
So conclusion:
They loved and it was a great love and it was their first love. No one ever forgets their first love and neither will Armaan and Riddhima. They both have learned from their past relationship and in turn will not make the same mistakes in their new relationships. So basically Armaan and Riddhima can never go back to being what they were because times have changed, situations have changed and most of all they have changed.
And once again wonderful post!
