They're not thinking properly at all. That's the problem. Shivani accepting RK as her Aaru in some moments is fine. In fact, it makes perfect sense. He's been with her for 10 years, constantly telling her that he's her son. But there should be moments of doubt, like we saw in the first scene, where she said 'no you're not my Aaru. His eyes are different from yours.' That isn't only a case of a mother's heart remembering her son, but also the fact that he has distinct physical characteristics. You cannot and should not be forgetting that. Instead, they're showing Shivani happily accepting RK in every scene. Have some scenes of confusion. I'll help this whole thing go down better.
And for Armaan, the scene with Madhav was sad and emotional, but it feels like they've never discussed Shivani before, because Armaan wanted to spare Vidya's feelings. The makers always pushed that narrative and have now suddenly brought the Shivani track, so they are scrambling by adding in this scene and the shraadh one. We've never seen or heard about this shraadh happening before. It's all still salvageable. They just need to add in more scenes of Armaan remembering Shivani and not doing so much Vidya Vidya, like he's done his whole life.
