That's the crux of it all, really. Sid was the one who saw Riddhima's love for Armaan in her eyes, and Sid was the one who told Armaan. Armaan helped Sid out thinking he's helping Riddhima out in the process, by getting the divorce out of the way of a potentially happy marriage. But if Sid tells him that the potential happiness is outside the marriage, because she told him so, Armaan will obviously find himself in the middle of a mightily big confusion. And the most uncomplicated response is to go ahead and ask her straight up. In the whole process, Sid's entirely in the know. He knows that she might still have feelings for Armaan. Armaan, on the other hand, had NO idea what the real deal was before he was told about the marriage. And just when he'd begun to think he knows that she wants to be with Sid, he suddenly realises that he has NO idea how she really feels now either. I agree with prerna4rishav that before the truth was out, even Sid was concerned about Riddhima and her happiness alone, because she's the one he loves and Armaan's no chummy buddy of his. And that's perfectly human too, I don't grudge him that. The only thing that made it problematic for me was that he kept Armaan in the dark while he knew the whole deal all along.
The difference is, when Armaan tries to get Sid to take back the divorce, he doesn't want to know who Riddhima chooses, because as far as he's concerned, he knows she wants Sid. Now, when that suddenly acquires a major question mark, what does he do but ask her what on earth is going on in that head of hers? As far as I can see, he isn't hurting anyone's feelings. He's trying to find the best way to prevent pain, and yes, as a human being that involves his own too. If Riddhima's happy with the marriage, he'll work to make it work. If she isn't, he won't push her towards it. But if he doesn't know what she's happy with, I don't see what else he can do except try and find out in the most direct way possible. This way or that. So that he can decide what he wants to do, which way to make sure she's happy.
It's just one humongous mess, really.
Cheers! đ
