We have all been hating on Armaan and rightfully so because of his inconsistent behavior and swinging like a pendulum between 2 girls and love and family. But we also recognize that Armaan is a people pleaser and that is the reason why he behaves like this! See ITV mostly shows arrogant, alpha male protagonists with anger issues who are intensely ego driven and always think they are right. Even the original vaada boy had all these same traits. I understand we are all impatient and cannot fathom why is Armaan not madly in love with Abhira already because she is the most amazing lead! Why is Armaan pandering to Ruhi? Why do we want Armaan to end up with Abhira instead of Ruhi? When Armaan has genuine feelings for Ruhi?
This is my interpretation:
Armaan does have residual feelings for Ruhi. And that's okay! He fell for her hard, doesn't matter if it's merely infatuation or attraction and gave up on her for his family's sake. He never liked Abhira initially but was forced to marry her to protect her. I feel like a lot of people are comparing it how it was like Lost when V was almost instantly attracted to S after their wedding reception. But here Armaan was NOT! Why is it relevant? Because V was able to get over P easily-while Armaan isn't. His feelings ran deeper. Does that mean Armaan and Ruhi are meant to be together? No. Armaan is just going to fall for Abhira much more slowly. I believe Armaan will realize he has feelings for Abhira very soon but there will be many obstacles in their path forward as he has hidden so much stuff from her. They will have trust issues and he will have to try really hard to build their relationship up. This is the turning point in Armaan's character where he will have to overcome his fatal flaw.
People pleaser signs:
1. You pretend to agree with everyone.
2. You feel responsible for how other people feel.
3. You apologize often.
4. You feel burdened by the things you have to do.
5. You can’t say no.
6. You feel uncomfortable if someone is angry at you.
7. You act like the people around you.
8. You need praise to feel good.
9. You go to great lengths to avoid conflict.
10. You don’t admit when your feelings are hurt.
Now tell me if Armaan doesn't tick every box on the list!
