I think irrespective of Garvita's acting prowess or the lack of it, Ruhi's character is surely coming across as shallow, self-absorbed and petty! And the makers have a good reason in her unaddressed childhood abandonment issues to eventually show she behaved this way only in the fear being abandoned once again if they choose to! It's at the very atleast a plausible reason for her character to become acceptable.. because no amount of ww can correct her mistake of marrying Rohit just to remain close to Armaan! But I really don't think the makers are capable of it. Tbh, in the conversation today, she is trying her best to treat Abhira as a complete outsider and make Armaan feel like he shouldn't get so worked up with "family" over someone inconsequential.. she doesn't even want to acknowledge her as his ex-wife or even ex-zimmedari! That's why she's asking him why he even needs to help her after sugar-coating the fake concern for Abhira. She is too self-absorbed to worry about anyone else at all! But I'm sure they will eventually show her being nice to Abhira just like they showed that scene with Charu after she had already done the damage.. After all sisterly bond has to keep making an appearance!!
Either way, why only Ruhi, it's sad that not one woman in the household including Manisha had one thing to say about the vindictive man! I mean she usually gets some sarcastic one-liners here and there and even that was missing today! I'm not sure how the audience is expected to have any resonance with this family.. Armaan tho hero Hai, he will get accepted with a few lollipops, but this family is by far the most regressive family this show has seen!!
