and vivali,welcome to IF. But i have to disagree with you.
armaan's biggest mistake is that he is armaan, a selfish, ruthless, egomaniac who did not care about jasi or her feelings when he went about plying with her emotions.
True, Raj had embedded armaan's mind with all the ideas, but it was Armaan who had listened to Raj, and he did not think it was a very wrong thing to do. True, at the end of the day, everyone wanted whatever was best for gulmohur. but Armaan did not have the ability to do it himself. He needed jassi. And he even went low enough to try and ruin her and nandu's friendship along with her friendship with purab. To me, he's a sick, incompetent liar.
And now, he deserves whatever he is getting from Jassi and the rest of the bunch. He lied to Jassi, his parents, Mallika, he made a false company to aid gm. Agreed, he did it for saving GM, but I believe the end doesn't always justify the means.
Armaan's biggest strength is, biggest quality is that he is Armaan.
Ruthless? i think one better change the definition of ruthless then, coz he has been very kind and nice to Jassi from the beginning.When the whole office commented on her luks and treated her badly, he was the only one who did not do so. He did not judge her by her luks, he knew how capable and good she is professionally. And egomaniac?well everyone has a little ego, but he isnt an egomaniac. If he was he, wudnt have stood up before everyone be it the board, Jassi or Mallika and asked for their forgiveness. And who isnt selfish? Everyone in that story, everyone in this world is selfish.Even Jassi was selfish to a certain extent.So why single him out?
And Armaan listened to Raj because as i said best friends do confide in each other and take each other's advices.And at that point of time Gulmohar was everything to him. And he knew that Raj was Gulmohar's well wisher.
When it comes to Nandu, Nandu was a stranger to Armaan so he was not able to trust him with his company, but Jassi made him realise that the way he trusts his best friend Raj,she also shares the same relationship with Nandu. And there was no reason for him to trust Purab whose business was taking over companies. And Purab did come there initially to consider and discuss with Aryaan the possibility of taking over Gulmohar.So was there a reason that he cud have thought about Purab otherwise.He only wanted to make sure that Gulmohar is safe.
i believe that U have to stand up for the most important things/people in ur life, for things/people who mean the whole world to u, whatever it takes. And Armaan did this for Gulmohar. He did not say like Aryan that lets sell the company, he did not conspire with Purab for Gulmohar's takeover.That wud have been the easiest way out. But he did his best to bail out Gulmohar.He wanted to fulfill the promises that he had made. And this is not incomptence. And he took Jassi's help because he knew that she is good professionally. And there is nothing wrong in reaching out to someone for help. It doesnt mean that u r incompetent. People depend on each other all the time.It takes strength to stand alone, but it takes courage to lean on a friend.
He knows that what he did with Jassi was wrong, and he cannot forgive himself for that.And he is paying for that. But he also knows how much he loves Jassi and also that Jassi loves him.
They have clearly shown in the serial that how Armaan's character has undergone a transition, how he has changed. And although Armaan has said that what he did was for Gulmohar, he has never denied, never refused to accept his wrongs. He hasnt justified himself but has stood up before everyone and accepted his mistakes.And accepting the mistakes does mean that he is justifying his wrongs. But accepting them means that HE IS NOT RUNNING AWAY FROM THE CONSEQUENCES, it means that he is ready to face the punishment for his wrong. And that is what he had said before all in the board meeting.
When a person makes mistakes, realises that he has done wrong and is ready to bear the punishment for his wrong, it does not make him a SUPERHUMAN OR A SAINT, but it only goes to show the COURAGE, THE GUTS AND THE STRENGTH THAT THE PERSON HAS. End may not justify the means, but at the end of the day, it mite take time but the world gives a second chance to only those who STAND THEIR GROUND,FACE THE PUNISHMENT AND DO NOT ESCAPE WHEN THE TIME FOR JUDGEMENT COMES.
Armaan does not give up, but fights back for the things/people he love. He did not give up on Gulmohar. He did not give up on Jassi and will never give up. Coz its very easy to give up, but hard to carry on; It's easy to run away and hide, but its difficult to stay and face the world; it's easy to surrender but difficult to continue the fight.
And to me Armaan means the courage, the guts, the strength, the determination and the will to carry on. So as i said in the beginning the best thing about Armaan is that he is Armaan.
