Many people think Abhimanyu can't be redeemed for what he did on the white day but I always felt that it was a very normal reaction from someone who is grieving the loss of his brother. Abhimanyu is called an abuser and what not but Akshara has physically assaulted him twice once at the thought of Abhir being in danger because of him and 2nd time during an accident.
Was Abhimanyu's involvement in Abhir hiding inside the trunk as same as Akshara's involvement in Neil's death? Leaving it to judgement of readers
I find both reactions extremely normal because I have seen people coping up with their pain by putting the blame on someone because it provides them with an outlet of their emotions
Is it fair to the other person? No
What I liked about both episodes was Abhimanyu Birla's character arc was kept intact, I love their writing of this character. When Akshara blamed him, he didn't feel the need to defend himself because he was in the guilt, I look for this guilt in Akshara's character for what happened to Neil but they don't write it for her
People say Abhimanyu has zidd of keeping his son with himself but I don't see him not acknowledging Abhinav and Akshara's rights on Abhir, he always included himself in the equation, he never said that they are not his parents, this sets him apart from the other two.
When they needed a surgeon for Abhir, Abhinav said that Abhimanyu has to fulfill duty of a father and yesterday, in his aim to get Abhimanyu ready for Abhir's surgery, he said Abhir is Abhimanyu's son but as soon as Abhir got better, Abhimanyu being Abhir's father didn't matter to him, it was just a way to use him for what he wants him to do, is he wrong? No but it is an interesting contrast between these two characters
Ultimately, it was his son who called out to him and gave him a place beside him
The other day, we had a discussion about Abhimanyu making a proposal to Akshara and my opinion in this matter is that he wasn't wrong because he told her his feelings and when she turned him down, he accepted her decision. You can see that in today's scene when she hugs him and he maintains his boundaries
He didn't take advantage of Akshara or Abhinav, he didn't cross the line Akshara drew for him.
