He's the character with the best arc. You've to see him to believe it. He was the most amazingly supportive husband and passionate lover towards Baha after he fell for her.
Of course he regretted and told her so repeatedly.
Most importantly, as many people forget it , Archie never wanted to go for an EMA.
The moment he realized he's in love with Baha , he begged her repeatedly to get his marriage with Moon annulled. He'd no confusion that Baha is his only and legal wife and his marriage with Moon does not stand in the eyes of the law though it's registered and all. He wanted to give Baha all the rights and place not just in the family, but also in the society. He literally told her one day this elite society of Kolkata will fall at the feet of you Baha , those who mocked you for a tribal girl.
He stopped sleeping with Moon , stopped treating her as his wife and more like a friend
They had daily fights and his behavior towards Baha grew increasingly possessive and husband like towards Baha. His family members were very confused of course.
But Baha was by that time madly in love with Moon π. She rejected him every single time , fell at his feet begging him not to leave Moon and then tried running away from home repeatedly but Archie brought her back. It angered him greatly towards, not Baha ,but Moon and he'd often explode on her and consider her the reason he couldn't be happy and be with his love.
Meanwhile, he started becoming jealous of any guy befriending Baha and started asserting his rights.
Finally it reached a point of no return where Baha gave him the condition of disappearing forever from his life if he files for divorce and only condition she'd stay with him is if he accepts Moon too. They went to Palasbani and seeing her with her childhood friend , ( she was handholding and running in the field π ) Archie went green monster and after a brief intense jealousy track , in the same hut they slept for the 1st time , they consummated and after that in Kolkata too ,they continued with their physical relationship.
He was not guilty of cheating Moon at any point. He was very clear that Moon is not his wife , just Baha. So it's not EMA as far as he's concerned. π€£ He literally told Moon ,you were always only a friend and Baha is the only girl I ever loved.
Of course it was all found out and Moon left the house for good. And they divorced. π
No , it didn't happen all of a sudden. He started getting attracted to Baha slowly and day by day. It was great to watch. Baha once saved him from a gang who'd kidnapped and were going to kill him , she got injured in the process . After recovering, she refused to came back home which she was leaving for good and voluntarily. Archie begged him to return and finally Moon brought her back.
Actually, without any doubt ,his character was the most interesting one and best written in terms of the graph and how well RK played him. It was a treat to watch, no matter how murky it was .
