The current track of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has left viewers divided—especially due to Arman’s sudden and unconvincing character shift. Once shown evolving and slowly breaking free from the manipulations of Vidya and Kaveri, Arman is now back to being a puppet. Following Rohit and Shivani’s tragic death, Arman’s regression has confused and disappointed the audience.
Arman, who had briefly shown growth and strength, is once again blaming Abhira for the turmoil in the Poddar house. In recent episodes, he lashed out at her for supporting Abhir over Kiara and shockingly questioned her capabilities as a mother. This repetitive blame game has triggered backlash from viewers, who are calling out the show’s inconsistent writing.
What’s troubling fans even more is the lack of stability in Arman’s personality. One moment he blames Abhira for everything wrong, and in the next, he showers her with affection. This emotional flip-flopping is being criticized as a weak portrayal, raising questions about the writers’ direction for his character.
In contrast, Abhira continues to win hearts with her maturity, consistency, and strong moral compass. She stands firm against wrongdoings and remains unaffected by manipulation. Whether it’s defending what’s right or enduring emotional blame, Abhira is shown as a pillar of strength.
In the upcoming episodes, the divide will deepen. Vidya will manipulate Arman again—planting doubts about whether Abhira might be equally careless with Pookie as she allegedly was with Daksh. Arman will once again fall into the trap, while Ruhi steps in to make him realize that no one could be a better mother than Abhira. However, the damage will already be done, and Abhira will be left heartbroken.
The growing distance between Abhira and Arman raises critical questions: How many times must Abhira prove her worth? Why does Arman so easily turn against her? Will this continued mistrust lead to a permanent rift in their relationship?
Only time will tell if Arman redeems himself or pushes Abhira away for good.
