Today's episode was very much needed because it cleared the air on a lot of topics It was focused on the 2 of the 4 current protagonists of the show. Those two protagonists who were the main leads till September 2009, but then quite a lot changed. My topic isn't about rehashing the past, rather it is on the behaviour of those two protaganists today. So here goes:

Riddhima:
Today Riddhima might have just about surpassed her own limits of being judgemental, blaming people, and lying. First the judgmental part: she did not even let Shilpa speak, and kept on yelling that Shilpa egged on Armaan to fight. That she was the one who brought Armaan back to his old ways. She was the reason why he was getting hurt, and somehow she thinks Shilpa is doing this to get close to him. WOW! I want to know where all those people who hurled abused at Shilpa for being judgmental about Armaan are? No sympathy for Shilpa today? What Riddhima did was beyond rude and mean. After a while, I seriously thought she was spitting out venom. First she was judgmental about Shilpa, then she blames her for Armaan's miseries, and then for the cherry on the cake: she lies! Yes she lies when she says she knows Armaan best. Really you do, Riddhima? I haven't seen that understanding one bit ever since he came back. Heck, you barely understood Armaan while you guys were going out, so please stop lying that you do.
Honestly I watched the episode, and I just kept getting angry at her. But then I realized that this is very good. This behaviour of hers is only increasing the gap between her and Armaan even more than before. It's making Armaan see this very despicable side of Riddhima. If I were Armaan and Sid today, I would seriously question my love and respect for this woman. Best of luck to Sid, but unfortunately or fortunately, he's the only person she does seem to understand (other than her father). So Sid please keep your wife to yourself, and don't let her interfere in Armaan's life again. She causes major damage every time she does. I wish I could tell her to stop yelling at Shilpa but sadly I think those interactions haven't yet ended. So Shilpa bear with it, like Armaan did for 3 years and Sid has done for 8 months. But the worst part of all this is that I'm sure she will act normal with Shilpa in Sanjeevani and won't apologize at all.

Armaan
If Riddhima made me angry today, than Armaan made me happy (and lol I realize my sentence sounds a bit like that of a kindergartner but it's true).
This guy FINALLY spoke up against Mrs. Modi. He said everything that I wanted him to say:
1. Shilpa is not the reason why I am here
2. Shilpa is not the one who expects me to be happy when everything around me is wrong
3. Shilpa is not the one who made me promise I won't hit (stupidest promise EVER in my opinion)
Riddhima is the reason for his misery and pain. She is the one who is responsible for everything he's just went through.
Armaan has always shied away from confronting Riddhima ever since she told him she wants to be with Sid. She may have spoken out after that, but he never got a chance to do so. He never got a chance to tell her how he feels when she acts so bloody insensitive to his feelings. More importantly, Armaan spoke up for what is right. He defended Shilpa once again from Riddhima aka Mrs. Modi. He told her to stop hurling accusations left, right and center at Shilpa. Shilpa who is the only blame free person in all this mess, and yet Mrs. Modi seemed to think that she is responsible for all the chaos. Anyways this is not about them but Armaan.
The most important part of this confrontation? Shilpa was a witness, hence she got to know about AR's past. This was VERY much needed to take the story forward. Yes it brought alot of pain to all 4 people involved, and it also shattered the dreams of Shilpa but it was needed.

Anyways I realized I wrote quite a lot. But at the end of it all, I am quite happy with today's episode. It cleared the air on alot of the topics from the past. Riddhima is just ruining her relationship with Armaan. Armaan finally speaks up and lets out his feelings. And Shilpa finally knows about AR.

Moving forward, I can see Riddhima not apologizing, and acting as though nothing happened between her and Shilpa. She will be all sad and guilty about Armaan, which will make her husband go nuts (and I can understand Sid's feelings here). Sid will try to help out his wife and talk to Armaan. Armaan will be again bitter and reclusive, while Shilpa will try and stop herself from loving Armaan...she will fail though :)

It was awesome. I think deep down Riddhima knew why Armaan was here but she felt Shilpa was showing him the path and edging him on. You can't say it's entirely untrue. Shilpa did put him up to fight the first time, reminding that this pain hurts less than Riddhima's pain. But to Shilpa's defense because she is not aware of this, all is forgiven.

As for Armaan **whistles** he rocked it. I loved all of his lines. He finally talked about them. I am a talker 😆. I say what I feel so I love it and clap 👏 with happy tears in my eyes when others do the same. This was needed. Very very much needed. I loved his honesty. There was no sugarcoating word. No other thoughts involved, just plain truth.

all the three lines u mentioned with the cherry on cake for god sake dailougue of armaan rocked
n also if ppl observe while sid fighting,riddhima is watching sid while shilpa has all worried eyes for armaan n armaan it self,that made me go aww,really shilpa need a big hug from me
the timing of armaan is fab,he bared riddhima when she is scolding him like even now she wants all her ways,though he looked angry when shilpa is getting blamed,he bared it but when riddhima crossed her limits n enters in personal life of shilpa again telling about her family back ground like she did in his life he is quite irritated by her n start standing for her n saying his heart out
n what ever he said is in past tense n in present tense he said riddhima is not in his life
lovely topic

Seert mwah yaar thank you for opening a topic seriously very much needed after today

I also loved episodes for the same reason you did it was very much needed for the story for how everyone thinks

Riddhima uff this girl really need to look at the mirror and see wht she has become why was she blaming Shilpa was it her who gave Armaan kasam not to fight back was it her who moved on in life and keep interfering in his life was it her who keeps blaming others no its was Mrs. Modi who has become selfish and want a reason to blame Shilpa and shout at her and sh has been doing that from the start of the show always blaming without even letting the other person speak ooh really you knw Armaan if you really knw him thn you would've have knwn that he will go and fight no matter wht he will hurt himself he will do whteva he wants to and thn again she talked abt Shilpa unbringing you i am waiting for the moment whn she will come to knw Shilpa is her sister thn i want to see her reaction.

Shilpa poor poor girl she is stuck between Armaan and Riddhima one way is her love and the other way is her sister she can't blame any of them she can't see any of them in pain she is quite bcz she loves her sister respect her and can't go against her she is trying to make her hapy bt doesn't she knw wht Mrs. Modi is thn next is Armaan for whom she doesn't even knw that she has fallen in love with bt still knws him much more thn other she knw he won't stop and go on fight and here she says she will heal his wounds very gr8 yaar perfect girl for Armaan thn her reaction on finding out abt AR worth watching the pain was visible and whn Armaan stood up for her.

Armaan he really needed to let it all out and he did today very happy abt that he also mention that Riddhima tum THI as mean she was not is he told her in words she was his past and bcz of her he is in this situation and worth watching his expressions when Ridz was blaming Shilpa he was getting angry on her getting annoyed and he did the right thing by letting it all out when he was telling her i was like go Armaan go and tell her how you feel tell her this is happening bcz of you and he did he also told to back off Shilpa and stop blaming her he also told her she was one who stopped him from fighting it was her fault and he was right i am happy it was very much needed he is in pain bt after today his pain might be less

Sid een though a bit of him bt waow yaar he stoof up for his brother he fought for his brother the anger in his eyes and the pain when he saw Armaan in pain very cutey cute we saw this Sid for the first tym

Pre-cap yh it does look like Ridz won't apologize to Shilpa and i am glad Shilpa will find out that the Ashiq is Armaan great now nothing is hidden everything is in clear picture gd very gd now the story will move ahead

@farzanairani: Yes Armaan was one of the main reasons why I am happy too and hey I didn't remember the past tense. But you're right, that was an important part. It finally told us that Riddhima is done with.
Yup DMG is at its best b/c of ArSh, since they are KaSh. I really hope they use them well too.

@Perfangel5655: Really Riddhima knew deep down? I don't think so. They way she yelled at Shilpa, it really seemed like she was hell bent on making Shilpa the scape-goat for this whole mess.
Hmm yes Shilpa did put him up to fight the first time, but she was also the healer. She was the same person who stopped him after that. I agree that accidentally Shilpa gave Armaan a taste of this world, which he is trying to savour to diminish his pain, but I think it'd be wrong to say it's Shilpa's fault. All the three points mentioned by Armaan are the reason why it's Riddhima's fault.

Yup. I LOVED Armaan for finally letting it out and that too in front of Riddhima. She needed to hear this. Plus Farzana just pointed out that he used the past tense 'thi' for her, so it's really making way for him to finally let go of her memories.

@Mari: Thanks Mari for the compliments :)
And ya I'm aware that many KaShians would have loved it b/c he spoke up in defense of Shilpa. It was needed b/c someone did need to shut Riddhima up, and also b/c Armaan always stands up for what is right. So thank you Armaan for that :)

@ zara-20k: YES! He showed her the true reality. Mrs. Modi needed a dose of it and Armaan did the needful by showing her a mirror.

@bary:I noticed that too Swetha about the looking and all. I thought I was the only one and I was reading too much into it. But yes Riddhima kept looking at her husband, Sid, whilst Shilpa was looking at Armaan. In a way those looks just cemented their relationships even more. Another proof of ArSh and SR.
Exactly Armaan seemed to be taking it all in to see how far his ex would go, and then when she crossed all limits by bringing her family into it, he stepped in. And ya I really wish someone would hug Shilpa. I know that all 4 are hurt (no sympathy for Mrs. Modi though) but I think Shilpa deserves a hug the most.

@Naaz: Yup we were all waiting for this reality check. It was very much needed b/c Riddhima had just been so insensitive to Armaan and she kept on acting as though she cared, but she only made his life worse than it is.

@prrk86: True that one line said it all. His defense for Shilpa and how Riddhima's responsible for his misery.
