Now they are putting her on the side. In the last few months they have been focusing more on Armaan. Also Poddar are related to him so all the drama and kalesh happen through him since the tracks were about him being mistreated all his life by Poddars and him getting away from them. Once there’s a baby and there is Abhimaan separation and Abhira may have to live alone, be with someone else, etc then they will focus more on Abhira again to show her journey.
That’s a common argument, but it doesn’t hold up when you actually look at how the show has treated Abhira’s journey compared to Armaan’s. Saying “Abhira had her time to shine, now it’s Armaan’s turn” assumes that she’s been given a full-fledged, emotionally satisfying arc—but in reality, she hasn’t.
YRKKH has always been a women-centric show, centered around the emotional evolution and life journey of its female leads—from Akshara to Naira to Akshara Jr. These women weren’t just present; they were the soul of the story. They were given layered emotions, consistent development, and the spotlight during their defining moments. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case with Abhira. While she may have had screen time, she hasn’t been given the emotional depth, narrative justice, or space to breathe that a lead in a women-led show deserves.
Let’s talk specifics. Crucial turning points in Abhira’s life—such as discovering she was infertile, being shunned by Armaan’s family for it, losing her child, coming to terms that her mother had another child and a man in her life before her father, losing Daksh, choosing Abhir over Armaan (which almost led to their divorce), and standing up against Vidya after learning she ran over her brother—were all brushed past with little to no emotional exploration. These were opportunities for deep introspection, grief, conflict, and growth. But instead of giving her voice and weight in these moments, the writing either reduced her to a supporting presence or skipped over her feelings altogether.
Even her anger and sense of betrayal toward Vidya—a woman she once respected—was barely shown. Her need for justice, her refusal to side with Armaan when she realized the truth, should’ve been powerful emotional beats. But instead of letting her sit with her pain, the story pivoted back to Armaan’s turmoil. Even when Armaan chose Vidya over Abhira, the narrative was framed around his decision, not her worth or what she meant to him.
Meanwhile, Armaan has consistently been handed depth and spotlight. His dilemmas, pain, family issues, and heartbreaks are always given time to breathe. Entire episodes revolve around his perspective, his growth, and his decisions. The contrast is stark.
So no, it isn’t “Abhira had her time.” She had events, yes—but not the emotional ownership of those events. Her story hasn’t been explored with the kind of depth that a women-centric show should offer its female lead.
The audience doesn’t connect with shows where the female lead’s journey is reduced to filler or used just to amplify the male lead’s arc. Abhira is not a seasonal character whose relevance ends when the focus shifts. She’s the female lead, and her growth, emotions, and screen presence should never be treated as secondary.
So no, Abhira hasn’t had her time. She’s been present, but she hasn’t been heard. And until the writing gives her the emotional exploration she deserves, the show will feel lopsided—because one half of the story is being told in full, while the other remains unfinished.

Waise muje armaan mai male akshu nahi dikhti hai, Armaan ko bachpan se bhage ki habit bilkul nahi hai , na he woh abhira ko kisi ko donate karne ke petre karta hai.
