I completely agree with you! I have said this from the very beginning. Akshu's current state is the result of years of emotional abuse and blackmail by Aarohi. This type of trauma can take a lifetime to get over, even with therapy and mental health support. When Akshu listens to Aarohi's manipulation or falls into her traps, those are not conscious decisions she is making. Rather, it is her trauma making those decisions for her. She's not purposefully hiding things nor lying... it is all her trauma acting for her. But, ITV will never ever address this.
We are slowly seeing Abhi's love win over Aarohi's abuse. Akshu's character development has been extremely significant over the past 5 months, and she will continue on an upward trend. But, this type of change cannot happen overnight. So, we need to be patient with her!
With regards to this accident track, I don't think she is going to hide the truth this time. Because time and time again, we have seen that Akshu draws the line when it comes to Abhi. And, this time, it's not only about him. It's also about the woman that Akshu considers her mother after already losing 3 parents. She is not going to take either of these things lightly. Of course she won't reveal it within 1 episode, because that will take all the drama away. So, rather than jumping to conclusions, I think we should be patient and wait for at least a few episodes, no matter how unbearable this is getting.
