One theory is low rating, second theory is that HK didn't wanna be saas and before she can be one with Kartik her character was killed and so on... I am curious to know why didn't you like OG Akshara cape town arc maybe in Comedy Nights smiley36
Oh God, I hope I am not kicking the hornet's nest by this reply.
Also Sejal, If I die today, you have to bear all the funeral expense .. and I also want a nice a touching Eulogy
I loved the Cape Town arc. I loved every character in Capetown except OG Akshara. And I stopped because I couldn't handle seeing her. There I said it.
Frankly I felt she was quite stupid. Please keep in mind I only saw the Cape town arc. till Naksh went to India without telling his parents. and BTW i loved his naagin dance.
OG Akshara just came off as unlikeable to me. She could have handled the whole Naithik Naksh thing a little bit more maturely.
Ok, I understand her not telling Naksh that she was ousted by Bhabhimaa thing. would never poison young kids mind. Naksh hated Naithik because he thought Naithik wanted to get out of the house. The whole time they were in cape Town. there was this forced tension between father and son. which the mother could have lessened.
When she first comes to Naksh's college as Hindi professor, he doubts that his Dad sent her to spy on him.. btw seriously bro.. as if Naithik does not have anything else better to do. She scolds him and all that.. but it all seems weak.
Experience from my open minded family. My dad and have this on going power struggle for as long as i started earning. So we both fight on any decision we make. Actually she doesn't care even a bit when we shout at each other. but if I ever crossed the line she would immdietly shut me down. or if Dad just drags the fight unnecessarily.. you can expect full on attack of passive aggressive statements and truth bombs at Dad. Similarly with my aunts and grandama, they let the fights happen but not so much as to escalate the situation to for ever tense.
And also, Naksh gets away with anything in OG Akshara's eyes. Because he is her Duggu. She was not at all strict with him. So Naithik became bad infront of her.
There was also the gangaur festival where she cries because she missed the joint family. I understand. But I hated it because now Naksh feels that His dad is forcefully making then stay in capetown. In Naksh's eyes, OG Akshara is too weak to change Naithik's horrible decision.
OG Akshara should have been strongly supporting Naithik, and make Naksh understand that Naithik was not as bad as he thought.
Well, she did try making Naithik understand about different ages and how teens react but again, everything is just too soft. Believe me, I would have had bag full of snarky remarks ready to dump on Naithik if he went I was not like this at my day For example, "Really? But I remember my wedding day being torturous because you were jealous of your cousin brother."(Yes, I knew that particular arc, because my sister, who saw the show from episode 1, told me one day.. never saw those episodes though) Naithik was also not tha great. So, it would have been easy to make him realsie that Teens react things explosively sometimes, adults should be mature. But nahi. Madam gave up after 2 tries
This is what I was talking about nice parenting with Abhinav and Akshara in the beginning of kasauli track. They both were equal as parents. Akshara was not too strick nor was Abhinav too soft. If Abhir did something bad, they both would be a team and make him understand together. Same way both would celebrate with Abhir.
That equal partnership as parents was not felt in the Cape Town arc. OG Akshara just stands helplessly in background when the father son tashan happens. Oh lookes super worried.
Yes, Naksh was in late teens, but it wouldn't hurt to show parents as a joint team. Then maybe OG Akshara is a weak mother. Nope, She was somewhat normal with Naira. It is only her Duggu(Hey, why didn't Naira get a nickname?) she spoils.
And also she felt somewhat insecure about Naksh and Sanju's friendship. Which could have been cute for others but just didn't like it much.
And her whole sad life in cape town missing the joint family was OK. But sometimes they streach it.
Also Maybe Hina Khan was just too young to play mother of a 20 something guy. So she just didn't feel that motherly. She could have been passed of the elder sister of Naksh.
The whole Naagin dance fiasco could have been made much less dramatic if she was capable. She could have laughed at the silliness of it but when Naithik goes to punish Naksh, she could have supported the punishment becuse he lied. And many times, I just couldn't connect to OG Akshara. She just felt too stupid to me.
That's it.
Oh before I forget loved Capetown Naksh Naira relationship. They both were easily the best siblings portrayed at that time. Actually I even liked Cape Town Naithik. He was really sweet. Oooh... I also loved the Sanju Nick friendship.. ITV rarely portrays normal boy girl friendship. I don't know if Sanju developed unrequited feelings for Naksh. But when I was seeing that there was none.
The Capetown arc showed a normal nice family.. somewhat closer to mine. I just never liked OG Akshara


🤮🤮

This woman should totally quit Anupamaa... Chahe jitni mehnat kar le, RS will only praise Shivi... I loved her as Monisha
