Pooja - love this post.
Harsh came for Abhi today - he thawed slightly to attend the Tilak but he still has venom inside of him - but I’m happy he is thawing.
Manjari’s role in Harsh’s marriage of convenience is to be a mom to Abhi. While she dotes on Harsh, he dotes on Abhi. But Abhi thinks the sun rises and sets on his mom. And kahin na kahin Harsh is jealous of the place Manjari has in Abhi’s heart.
We cannot dismiss the fact that Harsh is verbally and emotionally abusive to Manjari. So much so that she has lost all self confidence and self esteem because of his constant abuse - she falters, is clumsy and confused.
You said it best Pooja Harsh is a loving father AND an abusive husband at the same time.
So while we celebrate Harsh’s slight thawing today, it is only the tip of the iceberg- there is a lot more down there to resolve.

This is an amazing post! I was just thinking about this after I watched the episode. Manjari will always choose Harsh over Abhi, but Harsh will always choose Abhi above all else. He has a twisted way of showing it, but the center of Harsh's universe is Abhi. This ego and the way he treats Manjari, and now Akshu, gets in the way of his relationship with his son, and his biggest problem is not seeing how his actions and words towards the 2 most people in Abhi's live affect his relationship with his son. He will arrive to the tilak now too because Akshu will bring him, but even if he himself was not going, he made sure that Abhi still got what gave him happiness. He made sure that Manjari went, because he knew that Abhi would not go without him.
Actually, Harsh and Abhi give me BIG 2 States feels. Their dynamic is very similar to the father-son dynamic there.... I am waiting for that type of moment in the shaadi where Harsh comes and the two hug for the first time in so long.... and Harsh might be the one to save the rishta in one way or another after some huge problem arises between the families once again or something, proving just how much he loves his son!!
