I haven't read all the replies, but here is my view on your question.
I think it depends on the two people involved in the relationship, whether it's a marriage or a love relationship. As long as the two people are happy and not guilty or regretful about what step they take, it should be okay whether the society approves of it or not. The moment one party is guilty or unhappy with the step they are about to take, it is not legitimate.
I know Ridz well and she will NEVER cross her limits as long as she has the tag of marriage attached to her. In other words, she will never commit infidelity even if she is not committed to her husband by heart or soul yet.Similarly, Armaan would never do that because he knows Ridz well.
The day, AR take the plunge willingly, without any guilt attached to it, then it will be legit. It's not a question of pure or impure love, it's a question of two mutually consenting adults who know exactly what they are doing and ARE comfortable with their decision.
A very twisted way of presenting an answer, indeed.
1) I fail to realize how it's okay to commit infidelity if you are 'happy' with it, and are already in a sacred bond or a contract depending on how ever you want to view it. Trust or the contract is breached no matter what, and that possibly no where can be okay. Riddhima and Armaan may be satisfied with their act later on as well, but that doesn't make their act legitimate or one party doesn't necessarily have to feel guilty to make the wrong, a wrong.
2) I give Riddhima the benefit of the doubt here, but Armaan is making advances at her or at least that's how I see it so I don't bother to give him the benefit of doubt. He is aware of it all, yet is fancying a married woman - It'd be still ok for him to fancy her because she's in a broken relationship at the moment and was his love once, but above all there should be control on one's nerves and desires which he's in no mood of doing. In many cases, such distasteful acts only happen when one is provoked and Armaan time and time is taking advantage of that and is attempting to rekindle the old flame back.
3) Willingly or unwillingly, the act will be known as infidelity and they will be known for committing adultery because their intentions were impure. Love can be pure, but if the intentions related to it are low, then the act is not justifiable.
-- So to the regards of the topic and many refuting here, a sentiment shouldn't be labeled because it's subjective, but your intentions and actions regarding it definitely can be. So maybe A-R and their love is right, but the moment they indulge in such an act due to their polluted intention, consequences follow.
-- On to the topic itself - Love is love, but if we get into the discussion of incest, homosexuality, or animal loving, then I am not to judge how right or wrong it is. The love or the subjective emotion still involved there may be justifiable but then the society has imposed certain rules and forunately or unfortunately (however you want to see it) some acts are considered social taboo. Again even the intentions may be harmless in such cases, but the consequences that may follow later on may be not...erm...medically speaking maybe? Certain lines when crossed will always be condemned because we are a part of society with man made laws where anarchy doesn't prevail. Now many may be in favor of anarchy here just so that A-R are able to unite and have children happily, but that's another debate we should carry on in the Debate Mansion. In my view anarchy is simply death and destruction and if it were to work, then we wouldn't have government withstanding for so long.
