Something interesting I read a few days ago by various members here which I completely agree with. Sid and Shilpa both fell in love with Armaan and Riddhima's love for each other. Sid admitted that he married Riddhima because he loved her but what made him feel that way? Its not like he knew anything about her except for the fact that she had turn so cold-hearted when her true love left her. It was the fact that Riddhima was going CRAZY looking for Armaan which made him feel something inside. Something...somewhere attracted him because he had never seen such deep love before. Similarly, Shilpa is falling for Armaan and drawing parallels with what the aashiq has written in his diary. Even today she wondered if Armaan would like the type of decorations that were in the party.
AR's love is so powerful that its made others fall in love with them solely because of the 'eternal-type' love they have for each other. This is why AR can never be ignored because they are the base of the other 2 (potential) relationships in the show.
