I think they will flip this season because it’s all about Armaan’s growth and change after Abhira enters his life. Poddars will never realise Armaan’s value until he leaves- they are always going to take him for granted along with Abhira! The theme of this season is different- it’s not only about Abhira making her place in the family and binding them- it’s about Abhira becoming Armaan’s family, the one who will give him unconditional love. Abhira will of course fix relationships and change the family’s regressive thinking, she’s already pointed out the elders’ hypocrisy and how the children do know what’s right but are too scared to point it out. Abhira is changing Armaan and one day he will realise his worth and leave the family for his and Abhira’s sake. I have watched all seasons of YRKKH and this season is the most similar to season 1 where both Akshara- Naitik had to grow together as a couple. They also faced challenges because of family and had conflicts due to that but ultimately they stayed together no matter what. I strongly believe that Abhira will set Ruhi straight too especially when she comes to know that they are cousins- they are depicting Ruhi as a highly delulu girl with no ambitions and no aspirations. She is obsessed with Armaan. It’s clear that Ruhi has some mental health issues and she behaves as a fragile doll and is being treated as one too. Based on this production house and past history- they will whitewash Ruhi later and probably show her change and grow. I loved how they had shown Arohi’s growth in season 3 when everyone predicted that she would create issues and would hate Akshu forever. People need to see that this is not a EK or GK or Lost PH- RS’s negative characters are never really too negative. Plus they are experts in flipping! That’s why- Ruhi still doesn’t hate Abhira like P hated S in Lost. Even when Ruhi will blame Abhira later on for her mom and lost love, she will still love her. Like even aarohi couldn’t hate Akshu completely when she wanted to.
