They want to see FLs standing up for themselves, moving on, not getting stuck with toxic exes, and starting to be independent.
So, "Rishta" is also serving up those "poor bichari Fl" without any real storyline, like other shows. Why would people watch that, right? The Trp shoots up when Abhira is at the hostel party and doesn't come back to the Poddar house. Now, in his new Iv, RoPo said he's gonna clear things up with Ruhi, saying he has no feelings for her. So, maybe he's worried that a new actor might enter and people will start shipping Abhira with acha adami
I totally get his worries. With the way things are going, if AA comes for Abhira now, people will jump ship within a blink. And Armaan would be reduced to bhabhi's sidekick without much to do. No actor would want that to happen to his character.

One day I will also strive to be like Ruhi Birla
