The last few episodes have seen some mind-blowing scenes between AR where both of them have opened their hearts out to each other in such a beautiful way. Hats of to Kajen for potraying AR soo well.
Anyway my post is actually about something that I have been noticing since a while now and always wanted to make a post on this topic but somehow never made it.
Since a long time Riddhima has been going on about how Sid helped her during her difficult time and saved her life, etc etc and hence now when Sid needs her she can't leave him. She definitely feels obligated to Sid for all that he has done for her. Apart from the tradition and values this gratitude and obligation is one of the major reasons which is making her choose him. I also think whatever feelings she has for him also stems from this gratitude that she feels towards him. Ridz definitely thinks she owes Sid something. After Armaan's comeback whenever they showed Riddhima having FBs about Sid the FBs always consisted of the many times he saved her life and helped her out signifying that these things mean a lot to her.
Ok now coming to Armaan. He has saved her life so many times before, helped her out in so many situations and always been there for her. Infact he was ready to die for her (bomb scene) n has definitely done much more for her that Sid or anyone else for that matter. But still we never see Riddhima thanking him for this or ever acknowledging that Armaan has done so much for me and hence I should support him now. I know many AR fans were furious that Riddhima only acknowledged what Sid had done for her and not what Armaan had done .
The simple answer to this is there are NO OBLIGATIONS IN LOVE. When you truly love someone and that person is connected to your life then whatever you do for that person and what that person does for you is like a given thing. This love is not only between lovers but between a parent child, siblings, husband wife etc all relationships which are actually connected to your life. These relationships and the people involved in them complete each other. No child will feel obligated to their parent if that parent saves his/her life or does something for them. Because at the end of the day their lives depend on each other. If your parent does not save ur life then who will??? Same is the case for these other relationships. In these relationships of true love when you do something for the other person you are essentially doing it for urself because that person is such an intergral part of ur life that if anything happens to them a part of you dies or gets hurt.
Same is the case of Armaan n Riddhima. Whenever Armaan saved her life or did something for her happiness he was doing it because her life and her happiness defined his own life. If anything happened to her he would probably be hurt more than her. Riddhima too took a bullet for him and saved his life. We don't see Armaan thanking her for it. Because Riddhima's life is "Armaan" so essentially Riddhima was saving her life by saving Armaan. Thats how love is. You don't expect the other person to say "thank you" because your not doing a favour by doing anything for them.
In love there are NO Obligations. This difference of approach that Riddhima has towards Sid n Armaan actually define what place each of them have in her life. Sid will in spite of being her husband remain an "outsider" for her while Armaan in spite of currently technically being an "outsider" in her life will always remain the closest to her.
