Yes, Abhimanyu would definitely shield akshu from Aarohi. As Aarohi might go the manipulation way, like she did on the trip. Told ak to stay back, to get in to Abhi's good side and Akshu was instantly happy.
She never bothered to think that, why suddenly. So if Aarohi do the same and try to create problems.
Really, I think she actually might after all her wrath and playing victim card doesn't work. But Abhi would definitely see through the act.
Would be interesting....
