Khushi has been a very honest and hardworking and astute Lawyer. The way she handled Jai Vyas' case was just superb. Even the seasoned Lawyer Akash who was a laid back person couldn't stop himself from appreciating her legal acumen when faced with a high profile case. The defence lawyer would have felt the case to be a cake walk but sometimes, David defeats Goliath
So Akash really loved Khushi. I find Arnav to be a much bolder character here and Akash a laid back one. Arnav has been a bit more luckier than Akash to have had the love of Aarti as well as Manohar for at least some time. Aarti and Manohar were a happy couple unlike Priya and Manohar.
From Akash POV it appears that he always had to compromise. He has seen his mother Priya as an unhappy wife, waiting for her husband's love and affection and was always bereft of the same.
When Akash was very young, he had to be the Man of the house taking emotional responsibility for his devastated mother and baby sister while his father went towards greener pastures.
Our heart weeps when we think about the young Akash hearing Manohar talk about his love Aarti and the apple of his eye Arnav. Seeds of hate may have been sown in little Akash's mind at the tender young age. Later on when his dad come back and he had a semblance of a happy family, Arnav came on the scene disturbing the peace in family.
Arnav's constant demand for money from Manohar, his wayward ways, his womanising tales must have make Akash more and more angry and the young Akash would have withdrawn into himself
