Today's episode was VERY good as an ArSh, SR AND Armaan fan. Yes Armaan fan. The guy is finally thinking about another girl, and he seems to have taken a big step towards moving on towards happiness and love. Today's episode showed him thinking about Riddhima and Shilpa along the same lines. Riddhima is the woman that he loves alot, but today showed us that Shilpa is replacing her in Armaan's heart. The FBs he had of his moments with both were great. BUT the best one was saved for last. Riddhima is in Armaan's view during JP's party but then Shilpa comes in front of her. Riddhima was the past, and Shilpa is the future. Armaan thinking about these FBs, in particular the last one, make me think that maybe Armaan is realizing that Shilpa is his present and future.
By equating Shilpa with Riddhima, Armaan's taken a big step towards ArSh and he seems to be finally moving on!
This brings me to my main point:

It seems that some people are quite upset with this. Apparently Armaan cannot move on, or else his character is butchered. Oh my really? Why oh why can't Armaan move on? Why can't he be happy and in love with someone else when his past has moved on? Is he supposed to become a devdas for life? The guy is what in his late 20s, and people expect him to dwell in Riddhima's memories for the rest of his life like some crazy old psychiatric patient. And if he doesn't then that means his character is butchered. Oh wow it is? Fans know more about Armaan and his personality than the show's CVs it seems.
What's even more annoying is that so called Armaan fans think he shouldn't. It seems for these fans Armaan should either become a devdas, a psychiatric patient, or a monk in some far off land.

Everyone deserves happiness and love in life, then why should Armaan be any different? He didn't get it with Riddhima, so why can't he get it with Shilpa?

I so agree with you Seert!
Ok I love the first part you wrote and described the scene and yes that scene was perfect (where Shilpa cover Riddhima) in Armaan's eyes! It felt so good seeing Armaan finally moving on. Finally getting to see this side of him after so long. Some people think this happened too fast I for one don't I think the time is absolutely right. How long must Armaan suffer and the viewers suffer watching Devdas Armaan!
The other half I agree with too!
I'm so glad he is moving on. I just don't understand how his character would be butchered if he moves on.!!!? I think his character would be butchered if he becomes devdas and ends up dying crying par paro.

Million dollar question asked though for me I have a simple answer.
Sometimes we believe we have the best person in life at that moment and when we loose the person we think we have lost it all. Though the reality is time heals us all and later we realize that the best choice is still waiting for us !!

In this case- it is Shilpa for Arman and not Ridhimma

You have said everything, Seetu ( I hope i can call you that)....and i just have to say this :

Everyone deserves to be happy , like you said. No matter what happens in your life , no matter what you have suffered in your life , if life gives you another chance to live , love and hope , you are meant to take it. Life never stands still, the road is always ahead and it is in human nature to love and live. Even beasts melt at the tenderness of life, Armaan is only human and if Shilpa is his healing , what is the big deal?

If people want him to turn a DEVDAS, then, let me tell you DEVDAS is the most hated 'hero' in literature because he drowned his life in hatred and liquor. He teaches you just one thing - ALL THAT YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN YOUR LIFE.

World needs hope , beauty and love , not SADISTS.

@Sarah: Thanks hun :)
And yes how long must Armaan and how long must we suffer as his fans? I admit I like ArSh but I'm big fan of Armaan, and to see him in all this pain is getting way too annoying, especially when he a has second chance in the form of Shilpa.

@ sipdip: Yes exactly the best choice is Shilpa and do you know why? It's because she understands him and trusts him, even though ArSh can't even be called friends as yet. AR were together for so long and yet Riddhima never understood him. Shilpa will be his healer and give him a lifetime of love and happiness.

@Pocahontas: Nitzy, of course you can call me Seetu...lol I quite like the name too =)
"Life never stands still"
Yes it never does. The only constant is change itself, and one has to keep moving on. Does one stop living just because they experienced some loss? If that were the case then pretty much everyone would be a zombie. Life is all about moving on and oh yes Devdas was one of the worst characters ever.
Ironically I do find similarities between him and Armaan. But I don't want this wonderful character to end up the same way as Devdas. And it won't, because Armaan has a second chance at love with the healer: Shilpa :)

@dmg_lovditonce: Why can't you comment here? I don't make any fan group exclusive posts so please feel free to comment and share your views.
I can totally understand that you feel very sad today, because today Armaan moved on. But you have to understand that in a relationship there are 2 people, and Riddhima already took this step a long time ago. It was just Armaan's turn to do so now, because he needs to! As you said he deserves happiness.
You might not be able to get over AR, and yes those were very special characters but life teaches us to move on :)

I was shocked today seeing Armaan think about Shilpa like that as if yesterday was not a shock enough LOL

Anyways ditto seert....Armaan is finally letting go and moving on. You know when i thought of Armaan realizing his feelings for Shilpa....i thought he will try to ignore them and ridicule himself for thinking like that for another girl except Riddhima but he left me surprised with how open minded he was...

My fave part was indeed the last bit when Shilpa covered Riddhima's face over at the party...

And yes Armaan can move on and it won't be butchering of his character....not only him but his heart has no choice....he can't help but fall for her

Shilpa replacing Riddhima's image was a very significant point in today's epi. I would say it was the highlight of it. The start of something new. Armaan is finally allowing himself to think abt someone else other than riddhima, or at least accepting the fact tht shilpa does matter to him. She does affect him somehow. Beautiful moment of realization.

i so agree seert
the first part u described was truly a beautiful part of the epi- it held so much significance- he is finally ready to move on n let go of the past..... ive always sed AS are on the same wavelength..... both bin thru alot n are craving for love... in the two months they have known each other - they seem to have a much betta understanding of one another- this will oly deepen the bond as time goes on
armaan has every right to move on- n y shudnt he..... he is afterall a human being hu deserves to love n be loved in return. those hu say he shudnt havent really understood him at all.
@ramsha...where did that pic cum from.....from ur first siggie...she looks beautiful!!!!!
