Armaan, the character which was entitled to be grateful since his childhood, who was shown love based on convince, who was taken for granted always, who was moulded the way they wanted him to be, he was always asked to return the favor the family bestowed upon him, he was an entire stranger in a house that was supposed to be his. Armaan trusted 2 most important people in his life Kaveri Poddar his Dadisa and Vidya his Maa, the 2 people who mattered to him more than anyone. He was guilt struck so much with constant taunts that he even refused to acknowledge his real mother fearing he would hurt the mother figure he knew.
Years later he found Abhira with whom he fell in love with but failed to realize the same, as he himself said, 'Tumhe mujhse pyaar kaise hosakta hai', a man who never belived was capable to be loved as he was only expected to give all through his life. How much Abhira mattered to him was shown in his actions when for the sake of his family was ready to marry Ruhi only to back off, a family against whom he never spoke, never chose to go againt them, here he was the first time he chose himself his happiness his love above others. Only to be blamed by the rest of them for chosing his happiness, sutela, Ganda khoon, sadak ka pathar and what not and all this just for choosing his happiness.
Any inconvenience in that house any mistake and the first blame Armaan faces is he was never theirs, he is sautela.
Then comes the biggest truth of his life, his mother being alive. Kept away from him for years lied to him about her, blamed him for his own mother's death. The one women he considered his mother for the major part of his life used him to save her marriage was a part in separating him from his mother for her own reasons. Compeled him to be burdened under the so called affection she showed him.
A father who never stood up for him when he needed, a family that goes silent when he is blamed.
Armaan is no perfect character he is flawed, highly flawed I would say makes mistakes but always owns them up, such that when he thought Abhira was moving on he was guilty of his mistake but was never jealous of her moving on. He apologised for his mistakes because he was guilty and not with the hope of reuniting.
Now we finally have the Armaan stepping out of the guilt, entitlement and building a life and recognition of his own, along with the 2 people whom he loves and is loved, unconditionally.
This is just the Armaan I have understood beyond good looks and hotness. The Armaan we root for
Very well written, Nish! Perfectly worded from all our perspectives, I feel. Armaan is good looking on the outside, yes, but it's also his beautiful heart on the inside that makes us root for him. We will always be his fans.
