1.This is where I find Shehzada > Rohit. He used to give that lusty/attracted expression so well that I used to get butterflies even while watching a simple abhimaan trip and fall scene.I have seen some clips of Rohit as well in Udaariyan and he too seems to be good at romance,maybe it was because this was the first scene sam and rohit had together and yeah it would be not that easy to be at comfort level so soon,so it's okay ig.Coming back to shehzada,his main problem was that he used to give the same looks to ruhi at times as well, remember that water pipe scene? it was so cringe 😭Originally posted by: SereneWorld
The new ones are definitely an upgrade. Shehzada was good at romance/ heat eyes and bringing a softness in Armaan that I felt bad for him even when I was super irritated by his antics/decisions. But he was bad at a lot of things. He did improve a little on his emotional scenes but he has a long way to go and the attitude, swag wale scenes tho he was never able to carry. I remember when the script of the scene on day after Yuvraj attacked Abhira in PH and Armaan wanted to accompany Abhira to make sure she is safe was leaked. The script wanted Armaan to come out of car with swag and all but in the actual scene it fell flat. Even in the Makar sankranti episode and infront of Yuvraj when PH attack happened, the attitude and swag that the dialogues implied were absent.
On paper Armaan is supposed to be a confident lawyer who is cool as a cucumber in the middle of the court hearing where the opposition is seemingly winning, who knows he is admired by the ladies and proud of that, who doesnt give a damn that people are staring at him n his wife cuz they are shoeless or when he is carrying his wife bridal style in front of his fam or society. But he is also the same guy who tears up easily, pacifies people, wants to please his family especially his dadisa and Vidya because of the way he grew up and his issues of being unloved and fear of losing his loved ones. He can be selfless, patient, responsible, kind, emphatetic, dutiful but also delusional, selfish, impulsive in anger etc. And Armaan and Abhira's relationship is so unique. He lets her dominate him but also takes reign when he feels things are going overboard yet ultimately she wins. He becomes a child along with her but also takes care of her. Scolds her but also pampers her. The softness, fondness, irritation, exaspertaion.. like there isnt an emotion that he doesn't go through with her lol And a lot of their relationship is based on becoming each other's habit and the extreme emotional attachment they developed. The gestures and nuances that come with that comfort level between the characters can't be replicated in a few eps lol Rohit Purohit has the acting range to bring all that screen though I found him a bit awkward today in Abhira and Armaans scene after the trip and fall but he got the swag, attitude and confident part down. Abhira and Armaan look good together. He has a soft voice and based on BTS clips he has the potential to be the Armaan that was always on paper. Shehzada needed months to become the Armaan that we now know, with some time Rohit will adjust to the character too.
Coming to Ruhi she is supposed to be a grey character. Not evil or vamp. She acts out when it comes to her B Nanu and Armaan cuz of her insecurites and abandonment issues but otherwise she doesnt hate Abhira. Garvita brings out the chirpy and cute Ruhi that kid Ruhi and initial Gen4 Ruhi was but she also gave vamp wale expressions today which doesn't suit Ruhi's character(so far) lol maybe the character will turn darker or Garvita has to tone it down. Prev actor was so so bad so anything is better than that.
2. Yeah I remember that,the script was not leaked Samridhi shared a glimpse of it in her stories and (i still remember lol) it was written "armaan comes out of the car with full swag" something like that and I was so anticipated about that scene especially him taking out her bag and all but alas,that scene delivered ✨nothing✨
I had a wide smile on my face while reading you analysis on armaan btw <3
3.True! Ruhi was actually chirpy in the beginning but she turned out to be on full on serious mode post her wedding.She only seemed happy whenever she was with armaan lol + she was super serious and irritated with both armaan and abhira and the last scene sheh and prat had together was when armaan bajaoed ruhi infront of whole fam,so her suddenly being so nice and sweet didn't make any sense tbh.Garvita might've been probably told that her character is all about simping/lusting on her brother in law,so maybe that's why she's channelling her inner mrunal (bkas character)
