Yes, ak should have, but than the way Aarohi treated ak, she behaving horribly would also be justified.
She didn't speak at first tilak cause if she can't tell the truth in that situation with Aarohi there and neither could she lie it would break Abhi's heart more.
Yes, the way she treated Abhi is not ok too. But I don't think she actually meant him as a "chiz" when she said that. I think it showed how much she loved if because according to her he was to her, what sirat was to Aarohi.
And Aarohi did manipulate her into backing out. Also Abhi agreeing to marry Aarohi made a huge mistake.
Yes, she was giving mixed signals but really the girl was a mess her emotions all over the place. She is so use to giving up on her happiness for Aarohi but this time she realized it's hard and it was getting harder.
She tried to fight it but realized, he is not a thing she can give away. She was sort of going through days till they get married but with the stunt Abhi pulled she can't anymore.
I am not saying she is completely right. Yes she made some really bad choices, hurt people but most of the time it was situations. And her habit of giving in to Aarohi's wants even when she is wrong.
