Whataboutery is a form of defence, Abhinav's character didn't have a dedicated track for him so I can't relate him to the current discussion because Goenkas, Birlas and Sharmas, everyone accepted him for who he was, was there a track where Goenkas rejected him for being an orphan or a driver?
Audience makes up many narratives like many say Abhimanyu killed him but that wasn't in the episode, people make up things in their head
This is about a message being served, FL is saying on the show that Armaan isn't a sautela and how his family belittles him, the audience doesn't follow the message, they support the thought process, they just want Armaan to be legitimate child, they won't say that Armaan is who he is, even if he is illegitimate
Same for Abhira's miscarriage thing, when the track was about Vidya favouring Ruhi because she could be a mother, people didn't want a message where Vidya feels that she was wrong and she should support Abhira no matter what, they wanted Ruhi to have miscarriage and Abhira to give waris
