This is a legitimate question really. Why aren't both Poddar husbands being reflected as bad people and husbands equally.
1. Both Rohit and Armaan are equal partners in the crime of kidnapping of baby. If Armaan was 'forced' to take the baby, he should be more than happy to return the baby.
2. Both cheated their wives. One wife was forced to think that her baby died when he was alive while other is forced to live in the delusion that her baby is alive and was not allowed to grieve for her real baby.
3. Both 'fathers' did not take care of the baby when Abhira went to court. Both fathers are equally responsible as Abhira for putting the baby in danger. Both seem to think that the mother has sole responsibility of taking care of the baby- Armaan was 'forced' to sign Abhira's termination papers. I love how Armaan is constantly portrayed as a guy with no free will and can be so easily 'manipulated'
4. If Rohit is selfish for asking to take his baby and separating him from Abhimaan when they have gotten attached to the baby (but can't seem to dedicate enough time for the baby's care), why isn't Armaan selfish for separating Daksh from his real mother Ruhi.
Why is it so difficult to portray both Poddar brothers as the toxic husbands and fathers they are? Why can't YRKKH be progressive and show that it isn't wrong to get out of a toxic marriage? Toxic marriage does not merely constitute domestic violence etc. It's also when men cannot step up and be decent human beings and husbands.
