Today's episode was VERY good as an ArSh, SR AND Armaan fan. Yes Armaan fan. The guy is finally thinking about another girl, and he seems to have taken a big step towards moving on towards happiness and love. Today's episode showed him thinking about Riddhima and Shilpa along the same lines. Riddhima is the woman that he loves alot, but today showed us that Shilpa is replacing her in Armaan's heart. The FBs he had of his moments with both were great. BUT the best one was saved for last. Riddhima is in Armaan's view during JP's party but then Shilpa comes in front of her. Riddhima was the past, and Shilpa is the future. Armaan thinking about these FBs, in particular the last one, make me think that maybe Armaan is realizing that Shilpa is his present and future.
By equating Shilpa with Riddhima, Armaan's taken a big step towards ArSh and he seems to be finally moving on!
This brings me to my main point:
It seems that some people are quite upset with this. Apparently Armaan cannot move on, or else his character is butchered. Oh my really? Why oh why can't Armaan move on? Why can't he be happy and in love with someone else when his past has moved on? Is he supposed to become a devdas for life? The guy is what in his late 20s, and people expect him to dwell in Riddhima's memories for the rest of his life like some crazy old psychiatric patient. And if he doesn't then that means his character is butchered. Oh wow it is? Fans know more about Armaan and his personality than the show's CVs it seems.
What's even more annoying is that so called Armaan fans think he shouldn't. It seems for these fans Armaan should either become a devdas, a psychiatric patient, or a monk in some far off land.
Everyone deserves happiness and love in life, then why should Armaan be any different? He didn't get it with Riddhima, so why can't he get it with Shilpa?
I totally agree with seert.
Armaan comapring Shilpa and Riddhima is indeed a big step for ArSh.
Finally , Armaan has started thinking about Shilpa.
He seems to be moving on.
I do not think like other fans.Everyone has their own opinion and we respect it.
I agree with you in this matter.My pov is that there's no harm if Armaan is moving forward in life or developing feelings for some one else.It is not called as his character is butchered.
Armaan is a human too and he has full right to live up his life to his expectations and likes.He lost Riddhima his love.He is heart-broken but cannot remain like that the whole life.He needs a gal.A gal who would change his life completely and that girl is none other than Shilpa.
So Armaan moving on for me does not mean 'His character is been butchered'.
Infact,I think the story is shaping smoothly.
