One issue i have with all the dialogues meant to compare and contrast Ruhi vs Abhira is that one character is referred to as being "perfect", "acchi" etc. whereas the other is supposedly flawed, immature, seemingly wrong but still "right for Armaan"
This bothers me.
Armaan-friend convo mein he said my wife is very acchi but i miss my ex who i used to find flaws in. Krish says do you want perfection.
These things suggest that Ruhi is some ideal person, perfect, right etc. But No one is perfect. No one is ideal. And definitely not Ruhi. She's not written as some wonderful, mature person
She's selfish, manipulative, and immoral. So even if we say perfect refers to the template of bahu that Kaveri seeks- even per that Ruhi doesn't actually fit. Because she doesn't genuinely care about family, family izzat- she only pretends to. She doesn't follow all the rules. She merely hides her rule breaking well or makes others take the fall for it
So the constant glorification and becharification of Ruhi is infuriating.
Her true colors need to be seen.
I wish these conversations had gone along the lines of suggesting that "all that glitters is not gold" because thats what fits Ruhi.
