But i felt there were scenes with Rohith as Ar also where he was shown attracted to her if only for an instant and then he snap out of it.. Making to drink water scene was one.. And that was also their deal, that he would not try to behave like an husband...He had taken stand against family and gone to Mussorie. Had actually prioritised her in kidnapping track. But post deal revelation his character has been changed to be more insensitive and uncaring towards Ab. The difference between Sheh and Rohith Armaan, I felt Sheh and Sam had that playful chemistry and hence I think we're given more such scenes.... Some of those scenes are cute and I have done repeat watch in reels/ YT... But even then I felt it was not in line with character definition of Ar.. . For one Sheh and Sam looked similar age and two, for someone who did not have playful childhood those playful scenes should not have come naturally, it should have been awkward like breaking a shell.. That is not how it was portrayed like the matargashti dance for e. g.
See, I have seen Rohit as a romantic ML and he is fabulous. When he entered the show, he looked apt as the 30 something lawyer. It suited him.
His scenes with Abhira had a touch of fun and also warmth with Rooh-i tagging along.
But, I haven't seen attraction from his part. Yes, awkwardness sometimes in close proximity but that's all. Otherwise he always behaved like a guardian to Abhira. All his hugs and consoling and caring were more platonic than romantic.
Once Abhira fell in love, she was more moon-eyed than Armaan has been over the past couple of months. And after the Charu incident and deal reveal, their has been a 360 degree switch in his persona.
It was more about protecting his image before the family than keeping his word. It was more about coercing Abhira to put up with maltreatment of his family to fulfill his promise term with his ma'am.
He switched the narrative in such an ugly manner, that the entire blame fell on Akshara and Abhira.
Ofcourse it is intentional and crappy writing, but he never did display the likes of a strong and vocal ML ever. Adarsh purush, Adarsh beta khelne ke chakkar me, he has turned into a very amoebaic character.
