What would you do in Riddhima's place?

I am watching some old DMG videos right now. At the time when KaSu used to spark wonders in the show, at least for me, used to. And randomly thought about this topic! Let's for once, set actors aside, and look at the characters we've grown to love, admire and respect. Let's for once talk about Armaan the passionate lover, Riddhima the girl-grown-into-woman, and Sid the ever-supportive husband, instead of the hot KSG, the cool Karan Wahi or the beautiful Jennifer. Let's ignite the flames of love!


On one side, there is your lover, who you loved more than yourself, who was your breath in every which sense of it, and who made you feel alive once with each word he uttered. One whom you risked your career for a number of times to go and find him, for whom you went against your precious sister and turned enemies against your own parents and family. One for whom you would give up your life for in a bomb blast, but not let him be harmed. One who you would cry all night just by the thought of separation or would run away from your home to earn a hug in his arms. One for whom you'd willingly go to jail together, and still get out with your head and chin held high. One, whose very name signifies life for you, love, and hope for the future.


One the other hand, is your husband. The one who accepted you in the worst of circumstances, despite you rejecting him time and again. Who made you your wife so that your honor remained intact. One for whom, your respect and dignity took the first place. One who was willing to accept you knowing all the way that you love someone else, perhaps always will till the end of your life and much after. One, who, however late, went against his mother so that your name does not get tarnished. One who loved you so much, that eve knowing he might not get you back again, gave you the choice to go back to your first love. Loved you enough to set you free, let you take your own decisions, and be willing to accept them all along.


What would you, as an Indian girl/woman, but most importantly, as a emotional being, do in such circumstances? Since we're all openly criticizing Riddhima, let's take out time and think from her point of view, without bringing in any KSG or KW, but simply, the feeling of these two individuals you've got to choose from. It's really seems easy doesn't it? So, what would you do?

Ridhima is a modern girl
Armaan loves Ridhima more than Sid
Sid also admitted and he is giving them a chance as he was discussing with her mother today that their love is great
they should get a chance
so SID and RIDHIMA are not in love that much they just like eachother
Sid and Ridhima should get divorced
and Ridhima should get marry to Armaan
as Armaan will die without her😭

very interesting topic!!
firstly i would have never married sid just to save the grace, i would marry if i was convinced that he is the best life partner I could ever ask for!
but if i was in ridhimma place - would have taken few days off, probably gone to some quite place away from sanjeevani and away from life to take time and ponder which path i should choose one which leads me to my past or the one that leads me to my present!!
I would go with Sid
why?? cause he was with me at the worst, weakest and most vulnerable moments of my life!! He stood by me when no1 was ready to believe me, he believed me when i said i have seen Armaan!! He not just saved my life but gave me a new life, a reason to live and hope of a better happy future! He did not impose his rights on me but rather let me make the decision, whose my future.
Armaan left me when i needed him the most!! I would have waited for him had he told me he wanted time and is recovering!! The gap that Armaan created was filled by Sid and now Sid is everything to me!!
As for Armaan i would cherish the moments we had. He would have a very special place in my heart my prince charming my first love my fairytale romance..which never got fulfilled!! But nothing more than that, i would wish he too would move on and settle down in his life like how i did!
We need to take a practical approach in life, we need to know first love is very special but not necessarily eternal!!
cheers

All bias aside If I was in Rids place I would choose my husband.
If I left a husband who gave me so much respect and put the broken pieces of my life together again I would gate myself. I don't think I could live with myself knowing I lack honor. And it's not so hard to love such a great husband if I let my past go.

But this topic isn't about Armaan now is it? Sid would equally suffer as much if Riddhima lefts him! And then, how can Riddhima live her whole life happily with Armaan without one thought of Sid? Won't they clash each time in Sanjeevani similarly? Even if Sid goes away, how will she leave never knowing what happened to him, what happened to the person who gave her a second chance to life?


Thanks a lot for replying though! 😳

A wonderful answer in all aspects, according to me! And very close to what I would have thought of about too. I myself don't know the answer to the question truly! 😆 Thanks for replying! 😳

If I was in Ridz place....... Hmmm... putting my thinking cap on....Okie here i go....

Firstly I wudnt be where she is today... i'd rather sort it out much before the marriage vows scene... Infact I'd never run away from Armaan...maybe the first time but not everytime like her. Coz I wudnt think tht i've done anything wrong by marrying Sid. Also I would know tht i owe Armaan the truth & confront him & give him all the answers.I'd tell him tht i'm married... if its me i'd even tell him tht he is my past n i have moved on in life....
Second,
And I'd really answer any questions tht Armaan has.... I'd rather be strong than keep crying unncessarily...... Also my happiness wil know no bounds coz Armaan had been cured...wht more can I ask for from God....I mean tht situation at which Armaan entered was so perfect her relation wid her huband reached another level and also the person she had loved the most has been cured and given alife... So i really cant have any complaints from destiny or so called waqt as Riddhima was saying she hates the waqt....!She needs grow up too.
But for now ...Ridz character has been butchered so bad tht i have no respect, no hate, no love , infact i feel nothing for her.. Coz i really dont get her. No one can be so confused in real life.... I wonder not once has she been shown....appreciating the fact tht armaan has been cured...which in my POV.....wud have been the biggest relief...incase of true love.... also In Sid's case the Cv's arent showing her thinking abt wht Sid is going thru and r rather making her run away from him when he is around....!
n When Armaan approaches her she runs away from him too. At this rate i think she'll run away from DMG itself and then Sidmaan can make a "Dost Mill Gayye" out of DMG... I mean just imagine both karan's marooing lines on hot chicks, clubbing, enjoying, dancing,jokin around........🥳. Tht DMG would be much more fun..... The current Drag.....sucks. Sorry for deviating from the topic....but the current track is an emotional drain.

My first reply on this forum and I am glad its on a topic like this. I love the points you have raised. I never really look at the actors when I watch a show, it's always more about the characters but it is indeed very rare to find people on the same wavelength as me.

I never really saw DMG until abt a month ago but being a hindi serial it didn't take me long to grasp it all. Keeping all the stories and opinions of the chemistry etc aside I am happy to look at this objectively.

Lets take it this way, simplify it. You have a friend, you take them to be your closest friend in the world, they're the one you have the most fun with, are yourself and fight with your parents to go out and meet at night. Suddenly tradegy strikes and you're left all alone. Then comes along a friend who was there but you never really took notice off. Suddenly they start putting the pieces of your life back together, make you learn to live again, if not for yourself then for the others who love you. They consider you their best friend but would never assume the vice versa. Then the first friend comes back, this new friend takes a few steps back because for them the first one was the best friend in your eyes. You then realise that though the first best friend made you happy, laugh and be yourself, the second one stood by you and is indeed the truer friend of the two. At that moment you make a choice, and like any other person you choose the one who stood by you, through everything.

Armaan, Sid and Riddhima have a similar relationship. BEcause we have seen recently, it's not so much about love but about love that makes you go throw life with a smile. The choice thus is simple. Sidhant, the husband for he was with Ridhima through it all with no expectations while Armaan took his path expecting Ridhima to be there when he returns.

My two cents

a few days back i would have said the husband...but within a week i think differently...
First lemme get this one thing straight before answering..time has taught me some very important lessons in life....full stop...now the answer
Lets face the facts...however beautiful however heart rending...a compromise is a compromise...an adjustment...if she chooses Sid over Armaan..which according to everyone is the right thing to do......her whole life she will be wondering... what if...what if Armaan was still here...how would he have reacted, what would he have said...in her mind and in her heart she will always be torn in two...the bitter truth, she will never ever forget Armaan...its not possible...
Choosing Sid will in the end make her incomplete..although it might be the right thing to do...somewhere she will never be able to rest at peace ...always knowing she killed her armaan.....
on the other hand...choosing Armaan will be difficult, very difficult in the early stages but in the long run...a better option for all three of them...that way she will be at peace with herself , and for Sid he deserves a person who is completely in love with him, without any shadows in mind and heart.
Again these are my thoughts....i respect the fact that each individual is unique so has different views.
