it would've been nice if he decided to date his pa after the death of his wife..or his first wife asked him to fall in love with someone bcz she is gonna die

I don't disagree at all.😊

I don't recall the story well. I think his mum might have asked Swarna to help out...or Manish to lean on Swarna...something along that line anyway...he was alone with 2 small kids, grieving...again not justifying but people are human and each respond differently to trauma. Off course once the air was cleared, Karthik became really closer to Swarna. I loved their bond.

oh i see

thanks for telling me🤗

i haven't watched the previous seasons only few tid bits, so i didn't knew😆

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.

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.

Are you trying to defend Akshu or push her further down the drain? 😆 Her grandma had to fight for even basic rights like taking her pallu off her head, drive a car and go to her own family's office to work. Are you seriously saying that OG Akshara was not ambitious and career oriented? She was a successful woman who had her own successful career. And her granddaughter who is at least 50 years younger than her is not serious about her career 😆 She's fine with going to camps on random days of the month and serving chai at Manaksh. 🤔

Bade papa hai na paise kamane ke liye...after shaadi Birlas will support her financially. What a way to represent today's women 👏

And you're right. It's okay if a woman doesn't want to do any job. I wonder why all TV shows have women trying to make a career faaltu mein..another show from the same production house shows a 44 yr old woman trying to establish a career..

Yes swarna was his p.a, that's why kartik had issues with Manish.

So, Kartik was not Swarna’s son?

Word!! Anupama is more progressive than Akshara

Even naira explored various career options.

But her daughter is not at all inspired by mumma.

I started watching the show from the beginning just recently and in the initial episodes of yrkkh, Akshara loved to sing. Her BFF asked her to make a career in singing and she told her she's not interested. Akshara in the beginning wasn't career oriented at all. Then I saw how her marriage was fixed with someone before Naitik and then those people rejected her because of her singing talent and Akshara ended up feeling guilty and almost lost her self confidence because of that rishta tootna. She was in so much pressure that she became so damn nervous when Naitik came to see her that she couldn't even open her mouth when they first met each other. This was in the initial episodes of the show.

Now season 3 episodes are also still in the initial stages. Maybe u forgot but when Akshara's entry happened she did say she was not interested in building a career. Instead she wants to use her singing talent in helping patients by making them feel better and relaxed. I am yet to watch the episodes post Naitik-Akshara marriage. If after marriage Akshara became an independent working woman then it's good. I guess her granddaughter too would become independent working woman after marriage only then. Right now the writers focus is more on Abhira relationship than Akshara building a career.

I never looked down upon working women. I myself am a working woman. 😆For me, any woman whether a homemaker by choice/compulsion or working woman by choice is worthy. If Akshara is focusing more on her family and Abhimanyu that doesn't make her unworthy just because she doesn't have a career.

No. Karthik and Kirti were from Manish's first wife.

Swarna & Manish had one son only - She gave it away so Karthik won't feel as if his half brother is taking his father's love away from him🤡😆- he then died due to drugs.

What a woman!🤣

You put it very nicely and that in itself is what the show is trying to give us - that OG Akshara had to fight for basic things like taking her pallu off, the right to sing proudly, then working and etc whereas. But this current Akshara has a choice whether to work or not with no guilt laid on her and proudly singing and dancing whenever she pleases (harsh 'this girl started here as well?' 😆)...btw Harsh is a throwback to the minority but we saw how much importance people gave to his words!😈. This is a reflection of the society majority of us live in, do as we please as long as it makes us happy.

We think having a career or some goals is needed to make us happy but just like the five fingers aren't the same so are people and their individual needs.

Women have choices in every aspect of their lives now, breaking the glass ceiling in every area when once it wasn't so and so why shouldn't they do what ever pleases them?

I am sure once Akshu gets herself organised we will see some of her original goals. Don't forget this is the honeymoon phase of their romance so we will see lot dreams, dancing and just having fun (I hope!😆) but sooner or later life (ie RS) will start going back to it's theme.😃😆

Season 1 started in 2009 and showed the families to be very conservative. Akshara gained a lot of confidence after marriage and made a good career out of her family business. That suited that season and that setting. They can't repeat that in S3 which is a third generation. In real life it's been 12 years since they showed a girl like that!

S3 Akshara can't be that way. If they're going to show that Akshu needs someone to back her up, support her and push her to excel then that's at least a decade old story. Why does Akshu need a guy to make her aware of her potential? If the romance is of today's times then why can't the storylines be of today's times?
