Let me try to answer that.Armaan is a rich spoiled playboy who is ambitious,manipulative and rides on a high horse of snootiness.Anything to like in him?No.
A slip of a middle class girl comes into his life,and he thinks she is a doormat to be used as and when required and then discarded.Anything to like about it?NO.
But what happens when when this spoiled rich heartless bachelor suddenly finds himself thrown from his high horse and is humbled by that very doormat who he suddenly wants not as something to be discrded but to be glued to himself for his whole life?That practical scheming brat is humbled by love and reduced to a heartbroken shadow of his former self whose focal point in life suddenly rests on that middle class lass who he didn't even count as human??Anything to like in this??
YESSS!!!! EVERYTHING.So it's not really about liking a playboy,but liking an arrogant man humbled by the oldest emotion in the world.....love.
I see your point of view. The story seemed much more organized in BLF. They showed that "a reformed rake makes the best husband".
I didn't see Armaan reform until a short while ago. But it's obvious why people liked him even before that when he was a playboy, they knew he was going to change.
But I think the makers have messed it up here by trying to make it even better. They haven't done a good job in handling the whole situation.
