Okay this is actually disappointing

What we saw in the episode today wasn't Akshu making a choice, it was Manish making it for her while she delayed the inevitable. Also, by not making a choice, Akshu, you are making one - Aarohi - you just lack the courage to admit it. You know you can't decide so tell him that, don't make him wait for a decision that'll never come or one that you didn't make.

Neil, I'm with Abhimanyu on this part cause he isn't being selfish with this condition. Yes, Akshara is hurting but so is he, maybe even more so considering he almost lost his mother and the woman he loved (because the Akshu he loved turned out to be someone else - someone who doesn't come back to check the accident spot for injuries or report her sister's ill use of drugs to the family). The choice Abhi made in this episode were important for his self-respect and predictive of the future dynamic between A3.

I do, however, disagree and say some actual repercussions need to be put for driving under the influence, hitting something and then fleeing, and the criminal intent Aarohi showed. Take away her car Goenkas! At least for a while. As well as something for Akshara cause she too made some mistakes. Abhi, I know you can't punish Akshu but maybe some training on how to deal with mentally ill people (suicidal ideation and risky behaviour prevention and like seminars so she is more educated), and mandatory therapy for both of them (this one is definitely not going to happen since it's itv).

Manish, very little to say about you that's new except I thank you for acknowledging Akshu too became an orphan and recognizing that it's okay for Aarohi to have malaal due to Sirat's loss but she shouldn't negate that Akshu has her share of trauma or use it against her.

Abhimanyu too wanted to cancel the wedding..it was Manjari who helped him to take the right decision..same way Manish is guiding akshara to choose what is right at the present moment though ak is taking more time bt we all knw how blindly she loves her sister..😵

I totaly agree wid u...

Dis show is so stupid......it is full of negativity.....

It shows rich ppl lke Goenkas & Birlas cn do nythng....without consequences......

If it was....Naira in Akshara's place, she wud hv chked d accident site & also reported Aarohi 2 d police....

Dis is y Akshara is nthng lke her mom Naira......Akshara is so rong wid no personality......

Even OG Akshara would because neither believed in blind love.

Though I do believe Akshu has a personality and is a strong character, I just think she needs to be more forward with her choices cause, silence is a choice and I'd argue it hurts the most.

Manjari was guiding Abhimanyu, she asked the right questions, called his bluff, and left it up to him to show up at the Mehendi. Here, Manish is insisting Akshu do XYZ, in effect, making the decision for her. I'm not saying the decision he's making is wrong, I just think it's a pitiful situation.

I dnt c ny persnality 4 akshu......her strings r pulld by Aarohi or Abhimanyu.....she doesn't do nythng on her own.......Naira was madly in love wid kartik.....loved her family too......but she didn't let ny1 pull her strings.....even d mistakes, she made wer her choices......not bcoz sum1 caused her.....

Silence is a choice....weak ppl take.....it is d easiest 1 privilgd folks can take.....wat if it was not manjari but sum stranger frm a poor family.....it wuldnt hv matter 2 her.....but it wud hv matterd 2 Naira....Akshara didn't even hv ny gulit....she 4got & was hply enjoyng her wedding festivities.....

She ddnt chck the site bcos of aaru....& her guilt was awakened, only when she rlised abhi's mum is involved.......which is y she ha no personality......

I totally agree...Naira was impulsive.....but she was not....nythng lke Abhimanyu......

Naira doesn't treat ppl like dey don't matter & only her and her husband matter.......she doesn't expect ppl to wait on her & Kartik lke servants.........she just calld out rong things & did dumb mistakes.....and solely she gets credit 4 her mistakes......unlike Akshara who is constantly manipulated......it's qlways easy 2 manipulate sum1 who is weak.....strong ppl dnt get manipulated by ny1 and every1.

I don't think Akshara is strong either.

Don't forget she was the one who supported all Aarohis lies and trauma she gave her. Strong woman will oppose or make her sister understand false accusations. She even ignored Aarohis suicidal thoughts. When she went to accident site, she still can't connect why Abhimanyu called her there. There are 100 more things I can specify here

She is definetly stubborn and when she needs something strongly she gets it. But I disagree that she is strong character. She still has long way to go. So far honestly none of the characters are strong in this serial based on writing. We have seen everyone's weakness and strengths.

People might disagree with me but that is just my personal opinion.

I definitely see what you mean about the Naira-Abhimanyu comparison. Naira's best quality, in my opinion, is that she is unabashedly herself and doesn't fall prey to others choices often.

I apologize if my question seems to have offended you in any way, that was not my intent. My question is rooted in the idea that silence makes a stronger impression than any choice because it screams. Even here, I think Akshu's silence hurts Abhi far more than her choices do. Impulsiveness came in because I've seen many comments pointing out that Abhimanyu is a strong character for doing xyz, where I feel it wasn't strength necessarily, but impulsiveness.

I respect your opinion a lot, and I see the basis you have for holding it. Thank you so much for sharing it!
