I was really looking forward to your analysis and was wondering if you would supporting Abhi or not. He's been taken quite a bashing on the forums. Glad to see you still understand him and haven't given up yet.
I'm going to post something from a previous thread because this is what I thought about this episode:
We are seeing is two people who have trouble understanding how the other person communicates.
Abhi is pretty straight forward and expects people to talk to him that way. I really see that he cannot read between the lines. Akshara never directly answers his questions. She is so use to hiding her feelings and putting on that happy face in front of everyone that it's hard to read her.
And from what I see is in some weird twisted way Akshara actually likes that Abhi keeps coming to her even in his angry and heartbroken state because at least he is there in front of her. She keeps lecturing him and yet he still returns every single time. But now he's started ignoring her and that jolted her. She's angry and for the first time today I saw Akshara get jealous over her sister. Because he was giving Arohi his attention. He never did that before. He was always chasing behind her (Akshara). He never let her feel that he wasn't hers. But now she felt it because he is no longer paying attention to her.
I always thought that Akshara took pride in the fact that Abhi had proclaimed his love for her so loudly and boldy in front of everyone. And now she's getting a glimpse of what "moving on" could really look like. He could possibly forget about her. And that stings.
I know there has been debate about how Abhi's behavior and actions and in real life we probably be running away from a man that behaves so erratically. In ITV standards this may be normal and somehow this is viewed as a "passionate love story" because the male lead is so in love with the female lead he is literally going crazy over her and acting out in front of her and she is taking every piece of it.
But if you sort of digest this down in real life too people have their flaws. There are people who have anger issues but find a partner that is able to deal with them temper them down and they go on living a normal couple life. I have to give it to Akshara, she has literally seen almost every facet of who Abhimanyu is - his anger, his passion, his kindness, his love, his pain, and his sadness. He has bared it all in front of her the good parts and the not so good parts and she still loves him. And at the end of the day isn't that what we all want someone who can take us all in the good, the bad, and the ugly parts? That's love.
