Based on Pinecone’s update, things are becoming clearer with re to Armaan …he is clearly consumed by guilt, his lifelong partner, and is unable to move on with Abhira as a result ..what is repeatedly taking him back to Ruhi and getting him close to sacrilege even is the guilt that he has ruined Ruhi’s life somehow ..and Swarna adds ghee to the fire just before the murti scene..sensing that he is in a hopeless situation and cannot offer Abhira anything, he is telling her that he will pray for her to find him a good partner ….i don’t think he needed a therapist to tell him Ruhi is unhinged ./he sees it himself and I think that’s what the Mussoorie track has underlined ..he recognises that he is well and truly trapped in a situation partly of his own making and so he keeps submitting to her ..in a weird way, while the love no longer holds him to the past the guilt does …he is unable to keep himself from soaking up the love and affection Abhira offers him ..but he also sees that things are so messed up that he is not sure if there is any hope for them and for a way out for him ..this does not make for a strong man but this is who Armaan is and that is what his childhood has made him ..sad but true ..he is torn between love and guilt ..on why he feels a greater sense of guilt towards Ruhi and not as much for breaking his promise to Akshara, the answer is out there already ..he sees Abhira is a sorted and stable girl who can deal with life even if it has to be without him..but Ruhi’s increasingly crazy behaviour is showing him that she might just topple into an abyss from where there is no return if he dumps her ..so when he said that destiny might be giving signals at the temple, that was his hope and desperation talking ..wondering if there was a way out after all ..so only when Ruhi is taken off his head, will Armaan be able to freely move on ..he needs to liberate himself from his guilt of the past before he can embrace his future
If Ruhi, who grew up soaking in the love of her grandparents, can be given a free pass in the name of childhood trauma, I don’t see why a boy, who practically grew up thinking he was an outsider in his own home and needed to feel obligated for every scrap thrown his way, should be judged so harshly and ridiculed by the very same people who can empathize with Ruhi ....
