This is a follow-up to my previous thread. I have a few questions that I would like to ask as I was tired of seeing the same excuses in my previous thread- Armaan was forced to do this and that. My question is who gave Rohit the authority to influence Armaan's actions? Wasn't it Armaan himself. People keep saying that Rohit gave the baby to him, but didn't he accept it knowing that it was stolen? He is a 30+ year old male, who also works as a lawyer. If we're assuming that he is not emotionally strong to counter Rohit and do the right thing, my question is he even fit to be a lawyer? Is he fit to be a life partner and father if he is not firm enough to do what is right and can be easily emotionally manipulated? Is he not mature enough to know what is right or wrong? Does he not know that stealing a baby without the mother's consent is wrong and also a crime? He was supposed to be portrayed as morally righteous as the lead. That is why he is receiving so much criticism.
What was worse was him keeping quiet when Ruhi was crying for her baby. What distinguishes him from a villain? Villains too don't care for others' emotions and hurt them intentionally for their own selfishness. With that, he has sunk to the same level as Ruhi. Ruhi kidnapped him prior to his wedding and he literally stole her baby. And why are we even trying to quantify if Armaan or Rohit was more at fault in this track? Even if we were to say that Rohit was more at fault, does this make Armaan less culpable? A mistake is always a mistake. Using the excuse that Rohit was more at fault does not excuse Armaan in anyway and seems like a convenient way to diminish Armaan's responsibility in this.
Moreover, I have seen a few replies saying that Rohit is a bad husband. How is Armaan any better? He can't seem to trust that his wife is mature enough to handle the loss of their baby. He is literally playing with his wife's emotions. If the writers had any bit of sense, they would show Abhira divorcing and running away from the red flag that is Armaan.
The biggest issue with this entire track is that Armaan's actions would be okay if the makers were attempting to show it as a mistake. Instead of focusing on Armaan's mistake and attempting to show how Rohit and Armaan pay for their mistakes, the writers are busy focusing on brushing this mistake under the carpet and portraying Ruhi as more of a villain. Looking at the spoilers and upcoming tracks, I won't be surprised if the writers attempt to justify Rohit and Armaan by saying that Ruhi is a bad person and thus, both Rohit and Armaan didn't make a mistake and Abhira deserves to keep the baby. You can't make people route for a lead character by vilifying the villain further and whitewashing the mistakes the lead makes. You make them route for the lead character by making them relatable and likeable. The only way the makers can justify Armaan's mistakes in this track is by either turning him into a villain like Ruhi or a wrathful morally grey character who is going all out to take revenge on Ruhi/Rohit for whatever reason. If it is the 2nd route they are going for, then they should be prepared for the fact that people will have alternating views on morally grey characters and they should not attempt to justify Armaan.
Finally, a small request to anyone who is responding to the post. Please stop dragging Ruhi into this post. I am not her fan and I never justified her. This post is on Armaan. And using Ruhi's villainy to justify Armaan's actions only emphasizes that both of them are on the same level. And two wrongs don't make a right.
