Ok wow!! I finally watched the episode. It wasn’t half bad as I was expecting.. I legit thought abhimanyu committed a murder or something worse reading about peoples reactions 😂… ok ok!! Just kidding! Jokes apart.. let’s get serious.
Abhimanyu- abhimanyu is making a huge mistake in his anger. I don’t know but I was not much surprised by his reaction. It’s the same case that has always been- he says things in anger and regrets later. (I would have loved to se character progression, but alas! Makers have other plans 🙄)
I actually saw 2 different versions of abhimanyu today:
1) the real loving abhimanyu listening to his heart: he kept imagining akshara everywhere. That akshara’s voice was actually his inner subconscious speaking to him. As harsh said, he is scared. In his subconscious, he knows that he is running away because he doesn’t want to face akshara. Actually he called himself out on that fake pretense even before harsh called him out, ie when imaginary akshara told him that “I left you and went far- was that not enough that now you are also going? If you go, we can’t see each other and it’s game over”. He felt her presence through that soul connection. He was hurt that she was able to move on so quickly when he is struggling to even face her (stupid guy thinks that just because she is opening academy, she is moving on🙄) reinforcing his insecurities that it’s easy for her to leave him.
2)the “angry lost under illusions” abhimanyu listening to his brain: I feel anger has become a coping mechanism for him to survive. The hurt he felt when akshara had left him clueless and the taunts/ manipulation that he faced in his family plus current loss of his mother/ loss of his sister/almost loosing hospital- all this has just rendered him broken in and out, so much so that he has lost his ability to think straight and keeps misunderstanding situations, misunderstanding people and misunderstanding their intentions.
At this point in the story, why will he have sudden change of heart and why he is going to listen to advice from harsh (who he hates from his core) and from akshara (on whom he is wrongfully blaming all his problems). His reaction was very much expected.
This angry abhimanyu is rude, ziddi, arrogant, does what he wants, how he wants and doesn’t listen to anyone. This is the same as pre confession abhimanyu. But at that time, he was fighting for akshu and now he is fighting with akshu. He was called out then for his rude/hurtful words/behavior and he is being called out now for the same.
When he comes back to his senses, he is going to regret all this deeply.
Akshara: I have seen tweets blaming akshara for helping Manjari, not standing up against abhimanyu and for not refusing to give music therapy. I disagree. akshara has always been pure girl with golden heart, wishing and hoping best for everyone (even when some of them haven’t deserved it). How would she say no to helping Manjari, who is mother figure to her? She understands what it is to loose mother and doesn’t want to face that again. Why is she wrong? And why is she wrong for not giving tit for tat to abhimanyu??? she has always been mature, calm one. She is not abhimanyu to be shouting her point across. I agree that she could have just walked away (that would have been sassy and fun), but I think she was too shocked at what was happening to react.
Divorce issue- at this point, it really doesn’t matter if divorce happens or not. These two are sort of divorced emotionally already. The signature on divorce paper would just be a formality now.
Reunion- for reunion to happen, many things have to sort first. The truth regarding kairav/anisha/mahima/parth needs to be out. And before that and more importantly, abhi needs to realize his unfair treatment towards akshu and how his actions taken in anger traumatize/affect her. Akshu needs to understand how her actions trigger abhi’s insecurities, traumatize/affect him. Both need to understand the importance of communicating with your partner.
Makers: they need to understand that audience doesn’t have unlimited patience, audience like to see victory of good over evil. I hope the way makers are going above and beyond to show abhi in poor light, they put in similar efforts in showing his redemption too.
PS- I am not justifying abhi’s hurtful words from today. All I am saying is that I don’t find his reaction unexpected considering where the story is at, current situation that he is in and history of his character.
PPS- abhi’s heart vs mind was shown very nicely. And HC stole the episode today! 👍🏼
