Why are they hell bent on showing akshara as damsel in distress?

Why they have reduced akshara to a person who is constantly dreaming about her bf surprises her( I know it's natural in love) but isn't it too much that all the scenes are scripted in a way that akshara is a damsel in distress and abhimanyu is her prince charming. I like these scenes i don't mind but the issue I have they should show akshara doing something apart from this. Show her as a person having a job and not a 90's ki heroine who will wait for her husband. She is from a rich household and first will live off goenka's money and now on her husband's money. What if Manish is having financial problems , how she is going to sustain herself? I didn't like Abhimanyu's dialogue that I'll earn salary Nd you bring love and peace to home. I feel akshara should also be earning and be self dependent like aarohi.

Aarohi who is independent is made to look like a vamp who is nothing but a realistic character. All she wanted to have was abhimanyu as he is a top doctor it's not wrong to want to marry a man of your dreams from same fraternity. Her ways were wrong but that doesn't mean she is so wrong that people think of her as vamp.

I like akshara's good qualities too - her kindness, singing, bringing love and peace everywhere but I feel she should not always be shown to be dependent on others for her happiness. First she clinged to aarohi for her acceptance and now will go mad when abhimanyu leaves her . I feel one should have a life of their own . Love is beautiful only when shared, not when you're dependent on somebody.

I hope after getting married they don't show her just as solving birla house problems. She should actually work to become a successful singer and earn some fame, money. Abhimanyu can help her.

And it'ss it's wrong for abhimanyu and akshara to romance in makar sankranti stalls, Aarohi's shamiyana, abhi entering in a room shared by both girls where clearly aarohi was uncomfortable. In today's world calls and texts exist. They should restrict their communication there like most people do if they don't want parents to know and make them uncomfortable before marriage. Talk as much as u want on call. What's the need to sneak into each other's room and sort out your issues? If you want to meet, meet in a cafe anywhere but just when such a big kaand has happened of akshara and abhimanyu running away it's not appropriate of them to romance in a makar sankranti function or anywhere where family is around. In real life too family will be hurt by such things. Now Manish is going to have a heartattack witnessing both couples in the park.It's mainly because of abhira not because of kaisha.

Manish is not wrong of being against abhimanyu. Abhira think whatever they did on the wedding day is right because of their "true love" but no matter what kind of love you share, if you run away like that any dad will be concerned especially when two daughters of same household are involved. Abhimanyu said to Manish that what's my mistake I only loved akshara and did sacha pyaar. No buddy. It doesn't work that way. You clearly committed to the other sister and ran away. If aarohi was using him for power status, he too used for maa ki khushi as that was the intent behind marrying. Any parent will be concerned of such a person. In real life if abhimanyu did what he did he would have been beaten badly and if seen around Akshara then both would have been asked to leave the house.

I know I'm not tagged. But how come arohi is the only person without faults? She's clearly not a vamp and it's nice that she has ambitions but one can't excuse her for being a bully, mentally abusing her sister for years, manipulating the situation to her favour. Heck she didn't even let akshu explain herself after. She forgave her sister that's nice but what about an apology to akshu from herself. Not even a thank you for saving her life after the mandir trip. Anyway don't expect much from makers in terms of her redemption as from the confession her character is non important Anyway!


There's just too much juicy drama to show so there no time for them to give a akshu a job. And if remember clearly didn't akshu say she's going to plan a surprise for abhi for valentine. I definitely don't think they portraying her a damsel! Beside a little bit of fairytale is nice in all itv shows...they could be showing worst stuff.


P.s. Manish had an affair with his personal secretary...so this little scandal shouldn't cause him too much trouble 🤣


Gosh I love the drama that's being dished out...every episode is worth a watch.

Thanks for tagging me ❤️



I agree , not only should akshu work , but the writers also need to give both the characters some depth and substance . All others are morons , doesn't mean abhira are great... I won't justify abhira with arohi, nor justify arohi using abhira . She was never a part of their equation.she kinda doesn't exist for me.



Also, abhimanyu was not arohis man of dreams . Anybody who was a topper , a doctor , belonged to a rich family was her man of dreams. She wanted to use abhimanyu as a ladder to success ..



Career is never an important part of itv stories . The power status etc is for the first few epis only when they are introduced.. uske baad whether it's ektas business tycoons , or rajan Shahi heros , their contribution to the story is getting fooled , getting angry , getting misunderstood , apologizing and setting everything right ..then be prepared for next toofan . This is not grays anatomy this is yrkkh.eberything will be centered around the family . I have no expectation from akshu ..she will be the master of all trades but basically she will be doing everything for the family only . She will become a singer , business tycoon, deliver babies , unearth family secrets , catch criminals etc etc etc but essentially she won't do anything for herself 😆



Another thing.. Manish is correct in his place ..



I am not a big fan of pda either but aisa hi hai kya karein. They have the right to celebrate their love. Aisa bhi kuch scandal toh nai hua

Ever since the beginning of season 3, Akshara had made it clear already that she's not a career oriented and ambitious person. She is a good singer but never thought of building a career in music industry just like her grandma. She wanted to work in NGOs and hospitals only to help sick and ailing people, make them relaxed with her songs. As she was never serious about her career, she easily quit the Birla hospital job in the name of sacrifice. It's ok if a woman doesn't want to do any job and choose to be a homemaker. I guess Abhimanyu too knows she's not career oriented so he said that dialogue. At present she's madly in love with Abhimanyu hence keeps dreaming about spending time with him. Probably that diverts her mind from these families ke beech ke tension.

I agree about Aarohi. Her decision to marry Abhimanyu was not completely wrong though her wish to marry him inspite of knowing Abhira love each other was wrong but that was all a different story. We can't completely blame her. Akshara had already decided to sacrifice Abhimanyu and Aarohi just did chance pe dance. Plus Abhimanyu proposed marriage to her and not vice versa. Her mistakes were not as bigger for her to get so much humiliation and insults from everyone on her so called wedding day. Anyways, we have already discussed a lot about those episodes and the mistakes committed by these 3 characters too.

Regarding Abhira romance, it's all for trps. Whatever happened in Makar Sankranti episodes were circumstantial. Akshara fell on Abhimanyu while saving his life and then people misunderstood them and all that tamasha happened which obviously increased the trps. Trp audience gave a thumbs down to Aneesha track. Let's see tomorrow if this Kaisha track, problems between the two families due to them, Abhira's bedroom romance will bring trps or not.

It happened off screen and was more of an emotional affair rather than hot and heavy sex!😆

I think Karthik's mum was dying at that time....it came out later to explain why he did not like step mum and was cold to his dad.

I think Akshara is portrayed accurately as per her age in the show. It is her first love, so she is dreaming constantly and yes the lover will always be shown as coming to her rescue because she knows no better. However we had seen glimpses of her own independence but it does not come naturally to her. She needs to be coaxed or forced into asserting it. There will come a time when she will become more independent. At the moment her focus is all about keeping/making family happy rather than focusing on herself hence she is not bothered about career or anything else.😎

Again I think this is very true to life. When you don't value yourself above others, you tend to people please a lot. I guess if the writers stay true to course we should see her slowly changing.

Arohi is everything the lead female cannot be - this is so true of many shows. Those who like her personality will like her and those who don't will think her the vamp!😆..She made a rational decision based on her worth and what she holds dear (education, status and etc) and not love as it's not important to her. Yes she erred, thinking she could change Abhi's mind and that is her first lesson in love - the heart wants who it wants and nothing will persuade it otherwise. When she falls in love, I won't be surprised if she apologies to Abhira or at least acknowledges the power of love.

Manish, I feel as the elder of the family and the society he lives in is just in his action. Though we did not see it, he has loved and raised these children in spite of his own heartache (losing his son whilst he was still alive) yet the thanks and consideration he got was the two sisters playing volleyball with Abhi😆. Why oh why did they not confide in him? or even the ladies? so this is his hurt plus he is being protective as well - something again the girls took away from him as his natural role in their life. Also a bit of power play as well, he wants to see if he means as much to them as they do and listen to his decision now.
