As an unbiased viewer -
Abhimanyu’s faults -
1) Anger - he lets anger cloud his thinking though he’s worked on it as can be seen in Kairavs case before they fled
2) Impulsive behaviour - acting and then thinking. I feel he’s working on that too
3) Saying things in anger that he doesn’t really mean
Aksharas faults -
1) Not being able to put forward things and saying things in the nick of time to avoid situation from being worse
2) Not having a long term vision of how current actions can create future situations messier than they currently are and bending rules
3) Trying to handle every situation alone rather than trusting Abhimanyu/any other family member and believing that they can handle things better than her.
4) Taking unilateral decisions that affect others
I see people here rejoicing that Manish will knock some sense in Abhimanyu that Akshara can be in trouble. I too am looking forward to that.
But I am equally hoping that some elder - would be good if it’s Manish only - would knock some sense into Akshara as well. She needs to know she can’t take law in her hands. She has to learn to be a better judge of urgent messy situations. She shouldn’t take unilateral decisions. Birlas (specially Mahima and Anand) are horrible - but Goenkas are not saints. They cannot shrug off Aksharas responsibility on Abhimanyu and say he should do everything.
And people who say Abhimanyu doesn’t trust Akshara/her love - no comments. I haven’t heard anything more ridiculous than that.
