I felt today makers justified Armaan’s attachment to the family. For a man of his age, profession and especially his self-awareness as to his status in this family, there are only 2 reasons Armaan is still so connected to the family.
First is his lack of self-identity more than his connection to his family members. Abhira even without Armaan and without this or any family still has an identity of her own, she is still Abhira Sharma, daughter of her loving mother Akshara. Armaan on the hand without Abhira or specifically his family is just Armaan. From his perspective, he was lucky enough to be accepted by this family and Vidya. What if they had rejected him, the other possibility would have been either a boarding school given how involved his father had been in his life or an orphanage. He has genuine gratitude that despite the lack of emotional stability, he was given equal opportunity be it education or financial.
His second reason is his awareness of his position in the firm and how much KP needs him. I think when it comes to Sanjay, both Armaan and KP share the same opinion, even if for different reasons. KP despite having total trust in Sanjay still hasn’t given him the privilege of adding his name to the firm, at the end of the day he is still an outsider. Armaan on the other hand is completely aware of how corrupt and power hungry his uncle is and could potentially taint the firm’s name if it benefits him. He is also compensating for his father’s lack of contribution to the firm, his uncle’s lack of stronghold in the firm, and most importantly to carry the legacy of the firm forward, freeing the siblings from this burden of responsibility.
The day he realizes he is a person by himself with or without the surname and the day he decides to break the shackles of family responsibility, he will be a free man.
