this is a man who wanted to discuss divorce the previous night ? How do the writers expect an audience to enjoy a sequence like this after knowing he wants to divorce her? As a standalone, it is a really cute scene but not in the context of the episode. This man had a clandestine midnight conversation with his ex, went to her bedroom to appease her and then said she would never be unhappy if it were up to him. Then he goes and sleeps next to his wife and behaves like nothing happened the next morning. How are we supposed to appreciate the actions of such a man and root for him to be with the FL? This is abuse too, abuse of trust. The girl trusts him blindly and he is holding secret midnight meetings with his ex on broaching the topic of divorce with his wife. I don’t care anymore that he feels guilty about his having let his ex down. What about what he is doing now ? Is he thinking about how he is leading a young woman on? He is a mature man and she is an impressionable young woman. He has repeatedly declared in public that she is his wife. Their one year marriage agreement notwithstanding, how is this girl supposed to feel about this attractive man who is her husband and who stands up for her on every occasion. Granted you have a past and you cannot or will not move on until your ex is happy. Why should Abhira become collateral damage in the process? He talks of ensuring Ruhi’s happiness, what about Abhira’s? Doesn’t taking on someone’s responsibility include ensuring their emotional well-being? Does he imagine how crushed Abhira would be to know that he has kept her in the dark for so long and has been lying through his teeth? That he has allowed Ruhi to draft their divorce papers and is trying to broach the topic with her on her say so? The day Ruhi chose to marry his brother, his responsibility to her ended. Even if he asked her to marry Rohit, the final choice was hers. Whatever happened thereafter is on her and not on him. If anyone, he should be suffering a deep sense of guilt towards Rohit for having wantonly ruined his life. He hardly spares a thought for his beloved brother these days. He takes the liberty of conducting midnight conversations with his brother’s wife, dancing intimately with her in public, holding her hand and crying behind closed doors and what not. What kind of a morally upright man does this ? What is wrong with the writers who are charting the course of this character? Why are they making him skid like this on the slippery slope of morality? What kind of Rishta are they trying to show? As a legacy viewer, I am appalled with what is behind shown in the name of Rishta. I know Shahi owns the brand but, as one of those millions who contributed to making the brand, I am deeply disappointed today. Armaan is already teetering on the edge of the path of no return. A few more scenes like today’s and it will be a done deal. There may be a hundred other shows that are worse but they’re not Rishta. Appreciate what you have and don’t dilute the value of your own brand this way!
