Exactly my thots too. Why did they allow the Navra stretch to this extent if Abhira were the end game. This actually looked atrocious for Akshara character and Pranali was / is still trolled / assassinated on social media for this. I don't think, we will remember Akshara of Gen-3 at all for all that has happened.
For me season 3 is really Abhimanyu Birla's season.
This above statement in bold, is what will stand out for even those who are not HC's fan
I somehow believe that writers wanted both cross ships to sail eventually, am sure that was the original idea. They also tried their level best to portray Abhimanyu equal to Vanraj of Anupama. That is why, they really shoved Navra on our faces repeatedly, and probably they tried to convince HC to ship with Arohi. It was not happening as Karishma was not acting at all, most of the HC's scenes with her were separate shots. I observed that he acted with her in same frame only yesterday. I don't think a new girl for HC was an option as It could have been expensive as that other girl has to match HC's standards.
They would have made Akshara into another Anupama, but HC did and still does a brilliant job of Abhimanyu and i don't think Starplus would have agreed to displace him.
All the Navra shippers are going gaga over "great, beautiful Kasauli episodes"
Ambajee rightly pointed out yesterday, if Abhimanyu and Abhir were not shown bonding even before it was established as father-son and exceptional acting by HC & Shreyansh, we would have never enjoyed Kasauli episodes at all.
Even now, they are not showing Akshara realization. Are they going to write that she had some short term memory loss or something that erased many of the Abhira beautiful moments. I saw on Anupama hashtag today that Malti devi (i presume she is the dance teacher of Anupama) is actually the long lost Mother of Anuj
who had memory loss.

Lets' see
