First of all nice post...Yes their relationship is very strong....u know i was watching their marriage sequences again and a lot of things struck me which were not so clear earlier:
Ridhhima's suicide attempt was pretty symbolic - attempting suicide was armaan's basket's last attempt to be with armaan and i feel when she consumed the poison, the ridhhima who armaan loved like crazy, really died! and the moment sid revived her, she not only owed her life to him but she learned to live again - this is mrs. sidhhant modi who s vry different from ms. ridhhima gupta!
The photo burning on its own accord again symbolic - suggesting tht armaan was indeed the past n its best if she lets him go...
After marriage, ridhhima burning all armaan's nishaanis - most symbolic signifying mrs. ridhhima modi has not only given up all armaan's memory but has given up the old ridhhima as well...
These are just my observations - not necessarily they are true...but wat made me revisit these sequences again was ridhhima telling sid tht the 1st thot tht came into her mind after seeing armaan return was - how will sid react! meaning she genuinely feels for him n she wants to be with him...
The marriage sequence is a powerful one and really goes on to prove that "Kuch Rishtey yahan bante hain (AR) aur kuch rishtey upar wala banata hai (SR)"
Aur jo rishta bhagwaan ne banaya hai, usse todne waale tum aur main ya CVs kaun hote hain 😉
