I feel like fake spoilers and og storyline colored everyone's perception that she is sacrificing everything for her sister. Arohi is part of the reason like the Tilak day but she is not the whole reason.
She is not the kind who would choose a guy over her family she knew for years. She might do things like being a witness for the case against them because ultimately its choosing to stand by someone who is innocent. That is different from going against fam and marrying. (Abhi correctly deduced this nature of her's which is why he went straight to the family to ask her hand in marriage lol.) She doesn't think they have a future. As she knows if he knew she loves him he won't back off hence she is showing him that she doesn't love him with her indifferent and insensitive attitude.
From day 1 of promotions Akshara's character has been described as someone who puts her family above all, who can even take a bullet for them. Even in most interviews the reason given for denial by Pranali has been "family".
On the Tilak day she stayed silent for her family's respect which includes Arohi's as well. (Even today she didn't expose Arohi for the same reasons.) In the promo after tilak, she was shown saying that "rishto ke maine samjhti hoon"(iirc), today's its clear that it meant her belief that marriage is not just two people but two entire familys and Birlas-Goenkas is not it.
The reason for denying her love infront of Birla fam after Arohi saying she wont be happy with the allaince also comes under sacrifice for the family. Not only the sister's relation will worsen but also cuz Arohi might become distant to the family as well. That will hurt a lot of realtionships in the fam, taking the peace away.
Kairav asking Akshu to leave makes sense in this context because even he believes the same as Akshu about the Birla alliance and because it would be hard for her to move on being in the same city he asked her to leave and start anew. Both of them have been unaware of Arohi's "love", that might be why she was easily allowed to join Birla hosp. They should have dicussed with the elders instead of taking decisons on their own to be honest
With the way things are going it would be very weird if Goenka's agreed for Arohi-Abhi alliance If family incompatibility and respect is the reason behind Akshara and Kairav's decisions then the same should be for Aru rani🤪
If Abhi says 'yes' then that should ring major alarm bells for the Goenkas about the integrity of the guy(from their pov) or Kairav should tell the truth that Akshu loves Abhi cuz the reasons of the refusal are gone.
