I don't think Akshara is secure..its just that she doesn't feel insecure..Akshara is not an insecure or jealous type like aarohi..she has accepted herself for who she is..Akshara was belittled by aarohi for being a musician throughout her life..she even believed that she has no future with abhimanyu because she's not a doctor like him and birlas will never accept her..Originally posted by: Baarish_Sim
A part of it is also ek behan zaroorat se zyada insecure hai, woh bhi bachpan se (Aarohi never grew out of her insecurities like Amrita Singh in Aaina), aur dusri strangely secure hai (with all the neglect Akshara was shown, I'd expect her to be insecure about her family's attachment to her but she isn't - when Kairav was about to send her away to Pune on Bhai Dooj, she assured him that she knows he loves her a ton and is doing what he feels is best for both sisters).
I wonder where Akshara's security comes from because she is so habituated to taunts about her profession, lack of desire to be No. 1, panic attacks, etc. As we've seen, Akshara is appreciated by Abhi, Manjari, and slightly favoured by Manish. By the first two names just came, so is her security rooted in Sirat? Because Sirat respected Akshu more and that's what gave root to Aarohi's insecurities. For example, despite Aarohi's taunts, Akshu has shown to be so secure about her relationship with Sirat, despite being sauteli, and Naira (both of my moms are still with me Aarohi, and you can't take that away from me). It could also be Kartik but we never saw his interactions with Akshu post-Aarohi's birth (though we all know, Akshu papa ki jaan thi). Or a mix of both parents.
I say respect because, as people mentioned in the forum, Sirat did tell Akshu to look beyond Aarohi's taunts because Aarohi is insecure so she wasn't partial towards Akshu but she did see Akshu as the bigger person.
Akshara had told kairav in the past that she feels lonely even when she's surrounded by whole family.
Akshara knows that her family favours aarohi and she feels that aarohi is superior and that's why she thought that abhimanyu and aarohi would be a better match..plus birlas and manjari choosing aarohi for abhimanyu confirmed Akshara's doubts..
Akshara is calm and doesn't compete to be the best..she loves her music and doesn't care what other people think of her profession..but she definitely feels bad when aarohi is treated like a princess for being a doctor..akshara was very jealous when she thought abhimanyu loved aarohi and she was trying very hard to be happy for aarohi in the first Tilak.. her jealousy was clear when aarohi was talking about her hospital romance with abhimanyu in the initial episode before 1st tilak...just because akshara is kind hearted and doesn't show her sadness doesn't mean that she never feels bad..
Aarohi on the other hand was highly delusional and overconfident in initial episodes..she thought that her mother is number 2 but she'll be number 1 always as she's the best..Aarohi didn't even confirm from abhimanyu and immediately thought that he brought the alliance for her because he liked her..aarohi didn't even consider the possibility that abhimanyu might have been interested in Akshara..because for aarohi Akshara was nothing infront of her and a guy like abhimanyu could never like akshara..
All of aarohi's jealousy and insecurity that we're seeing now is ignited by abhimanyu's brutal rejections and him choosing Akshara over her..those rejections were biggest reality check for aarohi..
