I would like to add that if we speak only from the characters’ viewpoint and not our personal opinions - has Akshara ever treated Abhimanyu as her “abuser”? She is comfortable in taking help from him on multiple occasions. She even supported her younger sister’s(whom she loves enough to think of returning to Udaipur after 6 years!) alliance with him.Originally posted by: lagjagale
I do not agree that it was abuse so your whole basis doesnt work for me. But yes, even people who are abused in relationships do not keep their kid from his father or his entire family. It's not a thing, it's not even legally allowed to do what Ak did with hiding the kid.
I am not saying people should follow my mother's example. It is an example where things were handled differently than the earlier example. It's to show contrast. Parents shouldn't control their child's relationships to this level where they tell them someone else is their dad and keep them away from having any connection to their extended families.
Yes, she was afraid of the truth getting out and Abhir being taken away by Birlas! But even during the temple scene where she rejects him - she concludes by saying that she hopes it helps him move on! Akshara was heartbroken and disappointed with Abhimanyu but if she really believed him to be a villain or bad guy she would have made sure he has no relations with Goenkas or Arohi - thats how any person would deal with an “abuser”!!
PS I am not saying Abhimanyu’s behavior was justified on WD.
