Hi everyone
I just managed to see the YT version of today's episode. OK, after watching today's episode, I know you would be surprised at my U turn, but I actually sympathized with Riddhima's character. It's almost like I felt I was in Ridz's shoes once again.
Riddhima has what I call a fear of abandonment, made worse since Armaan left her because of his illness. Since her adoption secret was revealed, she has always lived in this fear of abandonment, and after the accident and Armaan's exit from her life, these feelings have gripped her even more. Her so called confession for Sid is also a sign of this fear. She wants to cling on to what she feels is her last source of support. It's not that she loves him, she just doesn't want to be abandoned again. Her MIL's taanas have added fuel to the fire as she has always wanted to be the 'perfect' girl all her life- daddy's perfect girl, perfect doctor, and now perfect wife and perfect DIL. SHe has no idea that Armaan is on her way, so she clinging onto to Sid is just her last cry for help.
