The current Arohi is what I hoped Arohi would be when she was initailly introduced this gen. Selfish, ambitious but not villanous. There are things she eventually ended up doing that are villanous but there are also things that fall under the grey umberella. Six years is a long time to change and she had life changing incidents back then to say that its realistic. I did wonder if she'll go back to being her old self a few times but I'm glad to see the positive change in her and hope it lasts.
I really wish we eventually get a convo b/w Arohi and Akshara where Arohi apologies to AK for all the misplaced anger and blame throught their childhood and even years after. For pushing her only sister away after losing their parents, for not understanding that Akshara only ever loved her and wanted her happiness, for instead of mourning their loss together she blamed her sister for their mutual loss, for emotionally blackmailing her and all other stuff later on etc.
Now that she has her own kid, Ruhi possibly feeling what she felt or Abhir and Ruhi's relationship goes through these testing times... she gets to see her childhood with a different perspective which helps her to truly resolve her own issues with Akshara once and for all.
