I could be in the minority here.. but honestly I'm not sure I'm liking how this track is shaping up.. yeah Abhira Armaan are endgame and all that I get.. But the way they are going about this is just not great! When you bring in a character for a track, best to use them for that.. by dragging them along through every scene just because... is just plain lazy writing.
Forcing a jealousy angle in is fun for a track simply because it adds some value.. But making that the main reason for realisation of what wrong Armaan did with his wife of over a year with whom he's seen good and bad days and shared a baby's loss is just absolutely trivialising the relationship they shared for so long!! There were about 100 other ways for the realisation to be written.
Also, Abhira has the right to do whatever she wants she is no one's slave. But if I recall, neither was Ruhi when she was being all clingy in hope. Ruhi had wrong intentions and she was rightly called out for her actions and I still don't get how she's even become this person today without any explanation. But point is, Ruhi as a woman was still judged for wanting to dream/dance with about another man because of her questionable intentions! And Armaan was rightly bashed for not drawing clear boundaries. And today if Abhira continues to remain "friends" with this RK after he explicitly tells her how he feels about her, she'd be failing to draw clear boundaries as well. Especially if she's looking to seek his help with a matter that concerns her still lawfully wedded husband. About to be divorced does not mean divorced. And if that is what we are expected to focus on, then she would be better off not digging into this at all.. that too taking the very person's help whose even presence she knows absolutely annoys Armaan. But if really, she thinks that since she has rejected the proposal she can continue to be friends I suppose she won't be any better than Armaan was. And I for one don't have a problem with that.. but I know many think Abhira is a better human than Armaan then I suppose you'd not expect her to make the same stupid mistakes that he made, would you!
And lastly I don't even want to talk about just how shoddily the Shivani track is being dealt with!! Hopefully that gets better next week.
P.S. - yes, I'm disappointed with the show currently. but.. I still am following the show because I'm invested in the characters of this gen. Not here just to rant about a show I detest.
