Armaan Suri is the most complicated character in this story. He is a grey character neither fully good nor fully bad. he is very confused character thruout the story, he does not know himself clearly.he is a manipulator and cool businessman, but simultaneously within his depest heart he has a srtange kind of trust and belief for jassi. he and raj started a scheme of wooing jassi for regaining kohinoor. till now he is thinking that he is continuing that game and he is a master of this game. but he himself does not know that he is falling in his own trap. now he actually started loving jassi but he himself have not still been able to recognize his feelings. for this he is behaving so inconsistently. he is going thru an internal turmoil. he is becoming emotionally involved everytime but he is not supposed to behave in that way acc to raj's instructions. that means that he is not actually acting but he has some thing more in his mind for jassi. as this story is going exactly same as blf now, wait and watch, u will soon understand his character. armaan's love for jassi is not an ordinary love as we often see in different stories. this is a strange kind of love and will blossom thru different stages and u have to wait for it. raj is also a very interesting and off course very very important character here, as he unknowingly is becoming the catalyst for this love.
Very well put Rumi.
Dreamymoon and Nishi, Armaan's character underwent a great deal of stress and change emotionally at different stages (even during Purab's fiasco).
First he was a ambitious businessman and a selfish,rough but kind boss.
Then he made some bad business moves.
To salvage the mess,he made a plan in which he made his plain Jane but brilliant secretary a party.
But as it turned out,his close friend on whom he relied the most couldn't trust the secretary and thought if she became unhappy,the plan would backfire.
So to counteract the first plan,they made a second one in which Armaan had to woo Jassi and keep her emotionally involved with him so that she would never see beyond him.
He started the game and initially,it repelled him.Yet as the time went by,he found himself warming up to her more & more and even thinking about her as a someone more than just a pawn in the game.Jassi started weilding an unknown power over him.
It was going well when Purab entered the scenario.Armaan became agitated and started getting frustrated and even disliking Jassi for the power she had developed over him.
But he took care not to let her know,because his future was stake,and unknown to him,Jassi's opinion had become important to him.
He started behaving badly and one day Jassi was confronted with the evidence that he could do something bad.
She blasted him.At the same time announced her engagement.
It rocked Armaan.Suddenly,Jassi's good opinion was something very important to him for his own satisfaction. Jassi realised she was wrong.She not only apologised but to make up for all the bad she thought,she became more eager than ever to keep him happy.He also realised he did not need to worry about Kohinoor.So he became friends with her.Also she was marrying someone super rich so she would never need to run away with the business.Also her loyalty to him would see to it that she let no harm come to him or GM.
But Raj wasn't convinced so easily.He kept on needling Armaan that she would still run away with the whole business.Armaan kept on telling him he was wrong.But it didn't convince Raj.
Once Purab was out of the scene,Jassi was vulnerable again.Raj egged on Armaan carry on with their game.
But something unexpected was happenning too.Armaan was getting a bit too personally involved with Jassi and her life.He was not supposed to do so.Armaan was expected to actually remain emotionally detatched.Raj was perplexed too and he told Armaan to take it easy more than once.
It never occured to Raj that his friend might actually be feeling the pain he was supposed to be acting out.That while acting to be in love,he was actually falling in love with her.And most importantly,Armaan himself has no idea of it.
He himself is unable to understand why Jassi's slightest disinterest raises his blood pressure.Why her detatchment causes him so much anguish.
And why is he always thinking just about her.
Why,inspite of being the greatest flirt around,he sees through those numerous perfect tens and keeps looking out for that frumpy ugly female.
Why he can't get over her rejection.
Ego?? Yes. But only ego??
No.But it's Armaan who has to work out his feelings and their cause.
And till then we will have to wait and watch.
