Every now and then, ITV keeps reiterating that you need to shut the logical part of your brain down if you want to watch its shows…this track is that reminder for me …the legal profession is all about connections …After a decade plus of being a lawyer, surely Armaan must have made connections independent of the Poddars ..if nothing else, his classmates from college and his professors would surely be around …to show someone like him moving into a chawl and working as a mechanic is indigestible …nothing against chawls but if people there had the means and the opportunity, they’d want to move to better lodgings …we really need to stop romanticising poverty and struggle …and a man from a wealthy family would find the atmosphere of a chawl alien ..just as a poor man would feel completely out of place and uncomfortable if stuck in some mansion or uber rich neighbourhood … if the rich bullied the poor man, it would be called snobbery …but showing the people of the chawl bullying a man or exploiting his naïveté in the context of his environment is humour ? From my limited experience, most people living in chawls are helpful and kind to outsiders ..they go out of their way to help people, particularly when they know you are fish out of water there …unlike those in wealthy neighbourhoods ….Gen 1 still had the Singhanias move into a less privileged neighbourhood …they didn’t move into a chawl nor did Naitik become a mechanic overnight

If you want to compete with UKA, you shouldn’t have established Armaan as one of the top lawyers of Udaipur ..surely Poddars are not the only law firms in the city ..there must be enough rival firms who’d jump at the chance to hire Armaan..

So yeah, great song selection and all but the track makes no sense to me at least 🤷🏻‍♀️

ITV keeps pulling these illogical tracks that require viewers to completely suspend common sense. Armaan, being one of the top lawyers in Udaipur, should have plenty of professional connections outside the Poddars. It’s unrealistic to show him struggling to the extent of moving into a chawl and becoming a mechanic overnight. Struggle arcs can be compelling, but they need to be written with nuance, not as a forced attempt to romanticize poverty. And you’re absolutely right—if the rich bullied the poor, it would be called classism, but when it happens the other way around, it’s played off as humor? That double standard is frustrating.

If they wanted to give Armaan a downfall arc, they should have done it more realistically—maybe show him starting his own firm or working at a rival one instead of taking such an extreme and illogical route.

That being said, I think the point of the track isn’t just about Armaan’s financial struggle—it’s about stripping him of the privilege and security he’s always had and forcing him to rebuild from scratch. Yes, he must have connections outside the Poddars, but given how influential they are, it’s possible they’ve blocked opportunities for him, making it hard to find work in established firms.

As for the chawl setting, I don’t think it’s about romanticizing poverty but rather about showing Armaan completely out of his comfort zone. Wealthy or not, a person’s circumstances can change overnight, and survival isn’t always about choosing the most "logical" path—it’s about what’s immediately available. It’s an exaggerated track, sure, but ITV thrives on drama, and this is just their way of creating it.

Good episode!! I loved it! No kaleesh, no arguments, no toxicity! Such a positive episode!! This is what we want!!

Omg why would he go back? Writers just stick with the current track I hope the article I read is false!

SB and KP have no other work than poking in Abhimaan’s life!

Exactly they show stupid things in the name of TRP ..and KP and SB need to focus on their business.. and if they are so worried about the firm hire better lawyers ..,

Education is the key to survival in challenging situations …and Armaan is equipped with that …he doesn’t even have to be a lawyer if he doesn’t want to …surely there are office positions he can fill …and Udaipur is not a fiefdom ruled by Kaveri Poddar …it is just idiotic to show that Armaan simply cannot find a job and has to survive in a chawl …survival without the Poddar name surely doesn’t entail taking up menial jobs or those that entail physical labour when you are equipped with skills that can find you far better positions ..

I know this is ITV and one has to keep one’s expectations low …and I keep trying ..but every once in a while, the logical part of my brain refuses to shut down 🤷🏻‍♀️

Agree ..and Armaan could have been logical .. stayed in Goenka house .. after all he sheltered Abhira in her time of need ..and also helped Akshara

When his mother is in hospital.. they could have shown him applying for positions in Jaipur or Delhi .. and then shifting with his mother and wife to that city

Even going to mussorie where Akshara had her resort .. Abhira still owns it .. would be a logical option.. wait for your while in Goenka house till Shivani is in hospital and after that shift to another city

they have shown Ruhi and Charu making on the spot plans to shift to USA .. but Armaan and Abhira cannot shift to mussorie


Armaan learning the ropes on how to manage the resort .. with customers complaining..

Abhira making food because chef has quit .. Armaan cleaning the resort room because of shortages of staff would be more practical.. as it is . It is now wedding and honeymoon season.

Won’t the resort get visitors

Armaan chopping logs in Mussoorie made far more sense than his turning a mechanic ..besides he was even more eye candy as he flexed his biceps

Oh yeah .. too hot ..

and the whole place can be good for Shivani’s mental wellbeing .. managing the resort and also start their law practice .

tell me why should Kaveri expect Armaan to come and play happy families with her .. after knowing the truth that his mother was mistreated and he was fed a lie and kept as a faithful pet

does Kaveri really think that bringing Armaan back would not be a disaster .. he might as well as destroy the Poddar firm ..purposely do frauds ..

when Rohit was not there she was desperate.. now with Rohit also having a male son .. she just needs to hire competent lawyers to run the firm ..

Rohit n rest of the useless furniture sit and do badhai ho badhai

Many business families do this .. they hire competent employees and the stake holders do the ceremonial work

this whole trope of showing the chawl as some place that is bursting in colour and energy but conveniently skipping the dirt and squalor is romanticising poverty surely ..I am all for realistic tracks that showcase poverty as is …show a man or a woman display the grit and determination to succeed against all odds and I’d be seated ..12th Fail was a classic example ..

Education is the key to survival in challenging situations …and Armaan is equipped with that …he doesn’t even have to be a lawyer if he doesn’t want to …surely there are office positions he can fill …and Udaipur is not a fiefdom ruled by Kaveri Poddar …it is just idiotic to show that Armaan simply cannot find a job and has to survive in a chawl …survival without the Poddar name surely doesn’t entail taking up menial jobs or those that entail physical labour when you are equipped with skills that can find you far better positions ..

Happens to all of us, darling. That’s why I’ve mastered the art of selective watching. When ITV decides to take a flying leap away from logic, I just sit back, let the absurdity wash over me, and treat it like unintentional comedy. If I start questioning every unrealistic turn, I’ll end up writing an entire thesis titled “The Systematic Eradication of Common Sense in Daily Soaps”.

So, I pick my battles. If a track entertains me, even in a ridiculous way, I roll with it. If it gets too frustrating, I fast-forward, mute scenes, or just pretend certain parts never happened. At this point, ITV shows aren’t about realism—they’re about how much nonsense you can tolerate before your brain stages a protest.

It's ridiculous. I think makers have a tight budget. It's a budget issue for sure.

Kaveri just wants to break Armaan because he dared to flout her authority …and Shivani, the woman she rejected, is officially recognised as Armaan’s mother …she can’t bear to see all this happen …I think Armaan’s utility as a lawyer is secondary …or he’s cheap labour ..no lawyer of his standing will likely work for the peanuts Kaveri would be willing to throw …for all the talk of the several lakhs that Armaan charged per sitting, we don’t know how much even went into his own account as opposed to the firm’s…doubt he was made a partner …must have been on a salary ..

Yes she wants to break him like she tried breaking Abhira .. but they can’t keep her forever n forever as ghar ke bade

in anupama .. Ba was never a baddie nor was Vanraj

Bringing Armaan back would be keeping another furniture in the house .. because giving him important cases . Can potentially be risk to the firm

Either they go the whole way and try killing off Arman and Abhira for existing ..

Ideally I would call it to draw the curtains for Poddar family .. show Armaan and Abhira surviving doing something .. have a family .. and then eventually pass off their young kids to Shivani for Gen 5
