So far she has not really come to a point where she has faced anything that might make her want to suspect Armaan's motives. What will really raise her hackles is if Armaan starts meddling in her writing and her career.
To be honest the show does not essentially deviate from what the average telly drama depicts as romance. The difference is that here the hypocrisy in those dramas is revealed as the perverted thought process of the male lead Armaan.
For example, in most dramas the hero meets the girl who is full of fire. He hates her thinking she is a gold digger, selfish person, brash and lacking in 'family values' etc. He is rude to her until he realises that no, this girl is actually a simple traditional minded girl who is self-sacrificing, as in can do anything for the family even if it means sacrificing her dreams and dignity. Then the male lead falls in love with her and she despite all the things she had lost (like her very personality that we saw at the start of the drama) is happy to have found his love. So the romance starts only once the girl becomes a doormat for the guy's family.
Here Armaan knows Saumya is a simple girl with a heart of gold. He has seen her self-sacrificing and unselfish nature. He chooses her for those qualities because he thinks this will make her the perfect wife for him. He plans to train her through conditioning...show her love when she follows his wishes, sacrifices her dreams for him and his family and thereby mould her into the doormat he wants. In other dramas the female lead becomes a doormat through a gradual process that is not controlled by the hero. Here Armaan being a master manipulator and aware of gender dynamics wants to shape this wife he has chosen but the end result is the same.
So now I am hoping that here something else will happen. She will not become the doormat and instead things ought to go in a direction that Armaan and us viewers cannot predict.
