Abhira vs Ruhi: Differences & Similarities [NOTE pg 2]

1. Inner core character

Ab: Female lead who is strong, who raises her volume to speak the truth

Ruhi Birla: Negative lead who is meek, who raised her volume to shout at Ab only

2. Upbringing

Ab: loved and cared for by mother

RB: dumped by surname family, adopted and cared for by immortal grandparents

3. How to handle a tough situation

Ab: (when accused of RoPod's disappearance) JUST SHUT UP, SHUT UP!

RB: (when asked where they went on Holi) (starts to lie but Kiara shows bravery by speaking the truth)

4. Voice volume

Ab: (when confronted by family members) no stuttering, direct arguing mode on

RB: (when confronted by family members) stuttering, scared, dreams of getting slapped by Dadisa

5. Duties as a bhabhi

Ab: Taught the chorus party how to fight for their dreams

RB: Lured the husband's brother by continuous emotional manipulation

6. Duties as a bahu

Ab: Knows how to only create chaos even if it means going against the family's 18th century rules and regulations

RB: Knows how to feed them food and a lot of lies that she's there to stay as their Rohit's wife

7. Degree

Ab: Studying law to become lawyer.

RB: Didn't study medicine but acts like she is a doctor.

Similarities

1. Completely and utterly foolish in love with a man full of loser characteristics.

• Altho you can say at least Ab loves her own legal husband but RB loves another woman's legal husband.
  

2. Getting jobs through nepoistic means. Let's face it Ab only worked in resort because of her mother and hospitality sector is no joke to handle well (customers are very annoying). With Ruhi's capability of handling Goenka's business, I think she studied upto 12th grade or sth and that's why Goenkas were forced to give her a job coz everywhere else rejected her job application.

Ruhi mein kuch bhi likeable nahi dikhta.not one good quality she has.

But Abhira is lovable. Her "flaws" or aspects to work on are -being too talkative without filter and meddlesome in every thing that happens around her. But people like Ruhi are also meddlesome. She also needs to know everything and does sly things to find out, she snoops around, She oversteps her boundaries too. But she does not speak up so she gets away under the radar.

Plus these very qualities of Abhira that sometimes get her in trouble are also the endearing qualities too. Her babad is entertaining. Her meddling is because she's unable to stay quiet if anything she disapproves of strongly happens in front of her eyes.

Ruhi is jobless. She's not handling business clearly. If she was, it might have been her only good quality.

Abhira used to help with resort but its not her primary occupation. Never was a job. She just volunteered. So she didn't inherit some hospitality business. Seems like its a small homestay/resort that used to be a side income means for her/her mom and I think she is not sole owner. Rn she only gets money from internship and if resort becomes profitable she may get an amount too. Its being managed by others.

Oh god I cannot stop laughing

Must not forget the Exterminator Kaand under sub clause lying

duties of bahu ab: makes food for pagal khana but does not get to eat at the dining table

duties of a bhabhi lusty: in the name of therapy, use jeth to get any work done

Good points! Don't mind me compartmentalizing your post

DIFFERENCES

• Personality rating:
• Ab: Loveable so 4/5
  
• RB: Unlikeable so -1/5
  

• Current work status
• Ab: Intern
• RB: Jobless

SIMILARITIES

• Both meddle but the intention of each is different. Ab does it for the good of others. Ruhi Birla does it for she, her and herself.

Thanks

Btw, do you have any comparisons you'd like to give?

• How to own up to mistakes
• Ab: Said a bunch of sorries to that Dadisa for the land court case
  
• RB: Says sorry but there's always a 'but' hanging after that and she continues to blame the other person, like the Exterminator scene

Good one!

I just remembered that I forgot to put the main one:

• How to deal with a break up
• Ab: Goodbye to you pendulum swinging Poddars, I am outta here. See me cutting up Ar's shirt into millions of pieces.
• RB: I have to stay close to my tru lub by marrying tru lub's younger brother
