all those you mentioned would be secondary factors too ..I would place Abhira hiding the truth from her at number 2, particularly because she trusted her implicitly and went against a figure of authority whom she’d blindly obeyed in the past ..she felt betrayed that she has compromised an established relationship in the process of trusting and doing right by Abhira while she had kept her in the dark about the very basis of their relationship ....people keep talking of how Armaan too hid the truth ..but the fact is Armaan did not influence any one in the family against established power structures, even if Abhira’s intentions were absolutely right and fair ..so the family and Vidya see Abhira as the catalyst/troublemaker/ bad influence on Armaan lol…going up against her husband and residual guilt towards Ruhi would be very minor factors if at all I feel ..
Yes it's rather unfortunate that being tunnel-visioned is just who she is!! She couldn't see Armaan or his pain beyond Rohit first, then she couldn't see the oddity between Armaan-Abhira-Ruhi's relationship even when pointed out.. after that was the extremely short-lived Abhira-is-the-best-bahu-ever phase and now it's all about how Ruhi and Armaan were always meant to be! She's frustrating as a character.. So fickle!! Doesn't think aage peeche! It's all just what she hears about and how it appears like today!! No introspection from her side at all!!
although having said that, is she only atoning for how she treated armaan in the past? Or is it a combination of her guilt for having slapped/mistreated Ruhi, anger that Abhira misled her and most importantly just getting an ego boost of being on the other side of who her husband is standing behind!! I suspect it's a combination of all of it!
