Was Armaan always this dependent for his existence on maa for her approval? When exactly Vidya loved him like her ladla Rohit that he would feel this bad due to her ignorance or by her love for Rohit only? He literally heard Vidya's conversation with Madhav "Madhav g apke dhoke ki nishaani ko mene apnaya" He knew Vidya never accepted or loved him unconditionally because somewhere his presence reminded her of his biological mother shivani. Wasn't Vidya always more affectionate towards Rohit? So, why is Armaan getting so much affected that it's killing him inside? I'm all in for good performances and this track is actually serving in terms of performances by leads but there has to be a backstory the way it has always been for ML's extreme love/protectiveness towards his mother. Vidya was extremely cold towards him during initial episodes specifically when he got married to Abhira but he was fine with Vidya's rudeness or cold behavior. Vidya mostly guided him but wasn't that guidance & love received when her own son Rohit was apparently dead? She loved him too but wasn't it always conditional love? He accepted it too. When Vidya mata prioritized Armaan over Rohit or ever loved Armaan or showed affection towards Armaan specifically when Rohit was alive? She was there for him when Rohit died. She chose Rohit over Armaan when KP asked her to choose when Rohit returned. She never objected to Armaan being called sutela by her son Rohit. She didn't object to Armaan being pushed by Rohit.
Vidya is behaving this way also because she feels Armaan was always indebted to her and he must have paid back for all what she has done for him by breaking off his marriage alliance with Abhira. Not being able to conceive is a crime for Vidya mata. Nobody is reprimanding this woman for her trashy thinking. By the end we are going to get Ar-Ab saying "humari maa ko bura mat kahain aap humari khushi chahti theen" whenever she is going to have a change of heart which right now seems unlikely.
If Ruhi can be whitewashed without even 0.01% humiliation or without getting exposed for her misdeeds. As if she was always sati savitri bahu, loyal wife who never plotted and planned with 7 step plan to get married to Armaan. Vidya mata is also never going to be called out for her pathetic, extremely regressive and inhumane mindset. Being infertile is not a crime & being a woman she should be more supportive. Suwarna mata who was saying "saas ko kon samjhaye" weren't u also a "saas" who unconditionally supported her DIL when she couldn't conceive? Manish is fine with his great-granddaughter Abhira getting cursed and humiliated because she can't concieve? Vishambar took Mishti away to his house when Meenakshi behaved like Vidya (this useless pathetic Goenka family is never going to be by her side when she needs them the most)
I can't avoid as the writer of both Gen 2 and Gen 4 is same. Couple dynamics are somewhat similar.
In Gen 2 there was a similar flip in Kartik's character when he was extremely obsessed with maa after Subham's death. Kartik became alcoholic & drowned in grief. Developed extreme emotional imbalance and anger issues which he never had. Separated from Naira because of maa's mentally imbalanced state as she was grieving for her son's loss.
Bhavna mata loved Mumbai track and JKG track so she thought of showing them again in Gen 4 that also after merging these two tracks in a weird illogical way.
Vidya mata is behaving like Suwarna mata but Suwarna mata lost her son whereas Vidya mata lost her right to be addressed "dadi". Her Madhav g lost his right to be called dada ji and her maa sa was deprived of her right to be called par dadi by Armaan-Abhira's child. How creative writers have become with time 
Suwarna mata got a complete episode with 10-15 minute apology scene. After that track Suwarna mata never even once opposed Naira. Infact after 5 year leap Suwarna mata was the only Goenka who supported Naira that time. Here Vidya mata will keep flipping as per convenience as she is going to be defended by leads themselves for her triggering behavior (yes it can be triggering for the viewers who actually can't conceive)
Its BV's pattern to give leads complex emotions sometimes the reason is too insignificant (which can be seen missing in Generations where Uttaraksh or Zama were screenplay writers for majority of the times). But that time "reason" behind those complex emotions made their actions somehow justified but here the reason isn't justified. How many MILs would behave this way in real life on hearing their DIL can't conceive before marriage? Few MILs might disapprove marriage but will eventually think about advancement in medical field. Even if there is no alternative but the son got married to girl against his mother's wish, no woman would behave this pathetic way (specifically if she is mentally sound and not psychotic) creating bad omens, cursing her own son, negating his presence and existence. I personally know many couples who went for adoption, couples who are living happily together without children & MILs or in-laws overall are supportive too.
Abhimaan could grow distant because of any other reason if BV wanted to show complex emotions. Vidya could go berserk because of any other reason & it would have affected Ar-Ab's relationship similar way. Vidya could oppose their marriage as Abhira caused Maa sa/Rohit/Mahdav ji's accident that slipped him/her to coma. Vidya could oppose the marriage because Abhira was given a higher position than she deserved in Poddar Firms before marriage, KP taking away Vidya's son Rohit's rights as he is an unsuccessful lawyer. IR could've also made Vidya oppose the marriage. Armaan and Abhira could have grown apart after Abhira's miscarriage and Armaan unintentionally not directly but subconsciously blaming her for it, by his distant behavior, because she didn't want children this early. Miscarriage by her negligence could've also triggered his emotions.
Yes, this is fictional ITV show meant for entertainment and creative liberty not to be taken seriously as they are all fictional characters, but infertility is a very sensitive topic they made a mockery out of it which is quite disturbing also they made a mockery of show's timeline as it's 21st century.
Lead characters didn't even once thought about second opinion from other expert doctors and nobody from family is even asking them to have a second opinion? MG in his amnesia forgot how Naira underwent fertility treatment or how Mishti had a child by surrogacy. DKP made infertility a woman's fault & woman must keep getting close to MIL begging for acceptance & forgiveness for the crime that she can't conceive, rift between couple because of maa needs to be called out but not the extremely offensive way of treating a woman because she is infertile, maa hai aur maa kabhi galat nahi hoti chahe woh insaan bhi kehlane key layak na ho.
