With the way ended things for Ruhi in Gen 3, they could have made her grown up version a more complex, layered character with actual abandonment issues that stemmed from so many people leaving her. They could have shown that sometimes the fear of abandonment gets the better of her, rather than bringing it up at her convenience.
When this season first started with Pratiksha as Ruhi, and even with Garvita's entry, I was willing to give Ruhi the benefit of doubt, because they didn't portray her to be outright mean and manipulative. She did resent the marriage and the growing bond between Armaan - Abhira, understandably so, because Armaan also was somewhere responsible for giving her the license to do so.
But in the recent episodes, I find her behaviour to be intolerable. The constant Armaan jaap, literally following him like a lost puppy, eavesdropping on Armaan-Abhira convos, her constant digs at Abhira about their temporary marriage, and her plotting the many ways to get physically close to Armaan, it's getting on my nerves.
Yes, Garvita might definitely be a better performer than the previous counterpart, but she's also making Ruhi more unlikeable by focusing more on make the character seem more obsessed than misguided.
