The way I processed the Armaan Ruhi jhamela is -
Armaan was a guy whose feelings were completely chained and restricted right from childhood onward - he grew up being trained to put family first and himself second .Always. He had never prioritized himself over anyone. Ever.
I don’t believe he was ever in love with Ruhi. Even his initial attraction towards her was probably coming from a space in his head that this is the kind of girl his family would like - so she’s perfect for me. I don’t think he ever knew what he liked or what he wanted.
When Abhira entered his life its was like an earthquake hit it . He couldn’t process anything she said or did. But when she left , he realized what he had. And that he wanted it and needed it.The Armaan of before , would’ve still suppressed his feelings and done what the family wanted but he had never broken the shackles before and it took a lot of effort from him to do that.
Waiting till getting to the mandap was wrong, leading Ruhi on was wrong - but it sort of is understandable given that the character of Armaan was such that he was not used to taking a stand for himself.
But having Abhira has changed him - he consistently has raised his voice against his family . Yes he’s done dumb things - but so has Abhira. I genuinely believe no one in that Goenka family deserves any of her time or considerations. If there’s one person in this show who has been shown to take a stand for her it’s Armaan. And now RK. 😃
So her putting her relation with Armaan on the line for Abhir- does not make any sense to me.It never did.
For it to make sense , the character of Abhir should’ve been a well written won,one that we could sympathize with, connect with. Not this guy we’re shown 😅
@bold for me Armaan divorcing Abhira, because she punished Vidya mata for her crime while supporting her brother, didn't make sense and it never will. Powerful MLAs or politicians DILs are shown to be quiet against their crimes in ITV. They are threatened not to expose or punish the criminal among the family members, otherwise consequences will be bad. Here it was somewhat similar situation except Vidya mata was guilty and willing to apologize, before she was made to believe that her bending when she caused immense loss to someone, is not needed at all.
Abhir who was supposed to be victim was turned dislikable, impulsive and logicless character. A manchild in real sense, when he could be shown retrospecting his actions, or could be shown guilty for being the reason of Armaan-Abhira's separation, despite not being at fault to demand justice. Emotionally he could be guilt-tripped or regretful. I didn't expect Abhir not to demand justice to save Abhira's home, like families do for powerful in-laws of their daughters. Him feeling guilty seeing Armaan-Abhira strained relationship or him having monologues was needed. It was the demand of script which wasn't fulfilled. Abhir must be shown guilty when Abhira slapped herself, but he wasn't. Abhir/Abhira demanding justice is considered wrong by many but for me bailing Vidya out was wrong. A relationship should not be based on husband/wife bending to wrong fearing consequences. Regarding Abhir, he is a part of khichri writers made. The urgency to get married wasn't needed at all. Proposing Kiara wasn't needed at all.
