The entire thing with Akshara, first of all, it seems as if nobodyâs sat down with her to tell her that Akshara WAS NOT the reason behind her matashree and dadâs death. Even Manish at the time was like forgive Akshara now⌠not like Akshara is not guilty. Itâs Aksharaâs fault to for never clearing that up too tho. At least she couldâve told the truth to the adults. So itâs not really Ruhiâs fault for hating Akshara. If I was in her situation, Iâd hate her too just like Ruhi is. Who would want to even slightly forgive the person who made them an orphan this young? And then when she sees the three adults she trusts go behind her back supporting Akshara, sheâs obviously gonna be hurt like how can you love those who took away those two people who I need the most. And with that, Poppy and Abhir went away with Akshara too - the two people Ruhi probably loved the most. Baby Roo just saw the people she loved the most leave her one by one because of only one person, Akshara. And to top that off, Swarna was probably the ghee in the aag by constantly blaming everything on Akshara so that mindset is so rigid in Ruhi. They never explained anything to her.
And thatâs why sheâs so incredibly possessive. We always saw that Ruhi was a little bit of a possessive child because she was spoiled and we saw that dynamic with her and Abhir. Abhimanyu was great in balancing that out and managing both of them. Then he forgot all about her and went off with Akshara and Abhir. That probably really hit her hard. She was grieving the death of her matashree and didnât have her poppy to support her. Her obsession with Armaan is nothing but the root of her possession. Her behaviors now are wrong, and she needs to wake up and have a reality check and genuinely go with someone who cares about her so much and puts her at a priority. She really deserves that. For Armaan, she found someone that cares and claims that he âlovesâ her and sheâs pining behind that. Sheâs idolized Armaan into something he most definitely not. Her attachment feeds into her delusions and sheâs not able to break apart from it. Sheâs not ill-intentioned, she just wants Armaan to herself which is wrong now and she needs to take the âkadwi dawaiâ and accept that Armaan is not hers. Sheâs gone negative because for her itâs desperation. Sheâs desperate to get to Armaan and will go to all heights to get him.
I feel bad for Ruhi, like genuinely pity her. She needs to get better and do well at life. Someone needs to sit down and give her a huge life check.
