Rohit Purohit’s College Crush Glow-Up in YRKKH’s Funky Romance Arc

 Yo, check it! Rohit Purohit, the 39-year-old stud playin’ Armaan Poddar in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai (YRKKH), is straight-up slayin’ as a college heartthrob in the show’s spicy new campus romance track with Abhira (Samridhii Shukla, killin’ it in her 20s). How’s this grown man pullin’ off that “freshman crush” vibe? Let’s break down the funky yardstick makin’ him the ultimate campus king!

First, that baby face—Rohit’s rockin’ soft, boyish cheeks and big, dreamy eyes that scream “I’m fallin’ for you” instead of “I’m almost 40.” In lecture hall scenes, he’s servin’ shy smiles and goofy glances at Abhira, channelin’ total “main tera hero” energy. X fans like

are hyped, callin’ him “SUPER COOL” for nailin’ that lover-boy vibe without overdoin’ it.Then, there’s his fit-boy swagger. At 5’8” and a lean 70 kg, he’s got that “pickup basketball star” build, not a dad bod in sight. The YRKKH stylists are poppin’ off with hoodies, tees, and jeans that hug him just right, especially in those bike-ride promos where he’s zoomin’ like a campus Casanova.And don’t sleep on his actin’ chops! Rohit ditches Armaan’s broody doc vibes for awkward, flustered charm—think fumblin’ confessions or dancin’ at college fests. Paired with Abhira’s fire, their AbhiMaan chemistry is givin’ Kartik-Naira 2.0. Some X users (
