Damn, for the first time, I loved Arohi today. The episode is truly worth watching. Manjari attacks Arohi about Abhir's issue, and Arohi spills that she has known about Abhir since Gangaur and has been trying to keep Abhi- Abhir separate, even trying to send Abhir to US. When questioned, she declared that Manjari and Abhi don't care about anyone but their own happiness, and in the process, they are destroying the lives of Arohi, Ruhi, Ak, Nav, and Abhir. She, as a mother, needs to secure her daughter's future and happiness, and she is justified in everything she did for that. Manjari said both Goenkas sisters are the same, only giving pain to Birlas. Arohi blamed Abhi and said that his pyaar and junoon have no limits, it didn't for Ak before, and it doesn't for Abhir now. Arohi then wished that Birlas would never get Abhir's custody. Manjari said Abhir will definitely come to Birla house. Arohi then declared that if he does, she and Ruhi will leave Birla house.
It's all out in the open now. Abhi has to decide between Abhir and Ruhi now. I really don't see any way Abhi can choose Abhir. He would be uprooting both Abhir and Ruhi and destroying their lives. From the precap, he is still going for the custody battle, so let's see.
I feel like Arohi is fully redeemed at this point. Whatever happened in the past, she is not wrong right now. She and Ak are at the same point, I think. Ruhi was never taught to share, and ofc she can be taught, but somewhere, Arohi does feel like Ruhi will get sidelined with Abhir in Birla house. Also, Abhir will never be happy without his parents, so it doesn't make sense anyways. Obviously, Arohi still has ulterior motives of wanting to marry Abhi, and she still feels insecure about Ak's existence in their lives.
