I’m also tracking the Shiv- Sati-Parvati parallel since you ( and others ) bring it up so often.
Abhi calling Akshu “ Annapurna” is also a reference to Parvati.
So if we are taking this Shiva purana a step further, Abhi should technically be called “Neel” ( Neelkant) after Lord Shiva.
A boy named Neel was adopted by the Birlas and his childhood picture is on Abhi’s desk.
I’m so excited for the Adoption track!
. If we are going by the Shiv-Sati-Parvati parallels, Shiv and Parvati got married 3 times. Once alone, one with the help of Vishnu (Parvati's brother), and once in front of society after Parvati's family accepted Shiv. So, the first one is already complete here. That would mean that maybe the court marriage will be supported by Kairav. And, to me, it seems that this track will be the one that gets us the second marriage, because again, Akshu is wearing a red dress, symbolizing Shakti, of whom Parvati is one roop of. The first red dress marked the completion of their union on their own. Akshu defended Abhi quietly in front of Manish saying her Abhi is not like this. This second red dress will likely lead to their court marriage, and Akshu getting one step closer to Parvati by chasing after Manish yelling that her Abhi isn't like this... and defying him by going to the police station. The last wedding will be in a red saree for the official shaadi, and if we go by the mythological parallels, that will be when the adoption kaand comes out and Akshu finally roars for Abhi, marking her final transformation into Parvati and her societal union with her love.
