We saw in ysterday's episode that aakash doesnt beleive in love because of what he has seen his mom-dad go through and now his mind has been tuned in such a way that he doesnt beleive in ay relationship which holds a foundation of love...
That is why he rejects shruti's love and her wish for them to be in a relationship.. but as bhaati said akash himself oesnt know that he loves shruti... but as aakash's nature is..he denies it...
Why is it that a child always looks up to hs parents and absorbs the environment around him which becomes an integral part of his life ahead??
