Aarohi vs Akshara - why one has more substance than the other! - Page 10

I guess.. I would have preferred Arohi. I actually like ambitious, not-so-sweet, FL

Somehow I just don't like 3 of the main leads now. (sorry Harshad fans.. even him)

I can not relate to any of 3 main leads or their families by these few episodes.

let me explain,

Arohi was acting all self-centered even before the tragedy and Akshu was clingy even before the tragedy. Somehow the parents should have seen the early signs of a toxic relationship between these 2 sisters early on and then corrected them.

Akshu should have been taught that just loving someone means not just caring and pampering but also giving each other some space, correcting each other when they are wrong. She should have been taught to be more open about her feelings. she should be able to communicate properly if someone is hurting her. She is not doing anyone any good by hiding her pain. Especially if the person hurting her is her own sister.

Arohi should have been taught to treat people the same way she want people to treat her. If she wants special treatment she should also act special towards others. she should have been taught difference between liking herself and being self-centered. And no matter how much of a good person she was she do not have the power to hurt anyone. Sirat could also say that her grandmother had some qualities which she really didn't like and hope that her children does not become like her. (It is not bad mouthing elders but pointing that if certain qualities were not corrected at a very young age, then it could destroy the personality)

the tragedy happened when the kids were quite old (maybe 10-13 years(?)) But kartik and Sirat had enough time to build these basic values. But Nope. How else would we get a vamp and a mahan FL?

Even after the tragedy, The Goenkas should realize that they cannot allow such toxicity between 2 kids.. They were just kids.. a Mature way of handling by the elders and maybe even a child psychologist for both the kids would have solved this issue. Hell... just listening to both of them properly would have solved half the problem.

OH!! I just hate this family.. What were they busy doing when they had 2 kids who saw their parents die. (not including Kairav because he was an adult.. Kids need more support and mentoring)

As they grew up with that useless parenting it is no wonder that they do not see how toxic their relationship have been. But Arohi wanting to be a doctor when she is so self centered makes me question her reason behind it. To study for NEET and then 5.5 years of MBBS would need that much dedication. I wonder what prompted her for this. But just MBBS is not much right she have to go for MS also.. If she claims to be ambitious. I hope they bring the MS arc.

Abhi is just not relatable... maybe I should give him more chance after some episode... I am not saying he is not likable. he is likable and he is a good actor. But I cannot relate to him. He is workaholic, some what moody, Has a narrow perspective of marriage although can not really blame him seeing the unhappy marriages in his family but still... this guy is not in fish bowl.. he might have seen many normal families who had quite a nice married life.. he was a surgeon after all... I am not a surgeon and my job does not involve with interacting many different families.. but even I can understand that there are families different from my family.. etc..

This Is a common trope in ITV to have ML all broody, against marriage etc etc. I have seen it dome million times and I am sure I will see it a million more times. But as I said as a doctor he should have been able to have a broader understanding of human relations.

The short glimpse of the Birla family is also so not relatable. You do not demean your family member in front of a photographer. It happens only in ITV again. And Mahima(I think that is her name.. the doctor who supports the ngo) I think Mahima is most unrelatable. She, unlike Abhi's mother, is not dependent on her husband's money, so she need not take such rude behavior. She can easily leave him.(ok if divorce is too taboo and expensive, she could at least live separately).

So, TL;DR

All families and main leads are not relatable for me at all.

I feel bad for all 3 actors as their characters would soon be robed of many traits.. making them less complex and more stereotypical. I have liked Harshad in before series, and Pranalini did a good job in Barrister babu. And Karishma is doing really good. But alas...

The dynamics are similar to the spin off ie YRHPK.

Abir Rajvansh's family was partly dysfunctional and the relationship between Naira's cousins was toxic but Mishti was a firebrand. I am not sure if Akshara is going to become a doormat as the plot is similar to Icche Nodee.

I can relate to the Birla's because sometimes extremely wealthy and powerful people do not have a filter when it comes to words and behavior. My POV.

Idk about the characters coz all of them are bound to get annoying anyway in two month’s time but who casted the main FL ??? 😭 Her acting is sooooo annoying. Idk if she’s not good, cause I haven’t see any of her works or is it because her character is typical ITV sanskaari FL but she is hella annoying. I might get diabetes if i watch her for more than 10 mins. It’s that sweet sacha waala action she does. This kind of roles can be pulled by few actresses like say Jennifer winget types without giving diabetes to people.

Also what’s up with this Star plus obsession with love triangles 🤪 i find it so disgusting that almost all their shows are same bakwaas, one man and the women dying to be with him. Ughh, even ITV aunties are getting bored of this crap. How difficult it is to write a lovely beautiful love story keeping the same rajan shahi sanskaari wala backdrop. Kuch nahi to vivaah wala route lelete..this utter rubbish of making women pine of one man leaving all their self respect at the door is so irritating. I’m beyond mad ughh.

Kuch rang pyar ke season 1 types kuch likh lete

Don't you see that it is this kind of false thinking that is the reason for aarohi behaving as she does? It's probably such vibes that she has felt from Manish and whenever naira was talked about she would have been placed above sirat.. Bahot saare khisse thei honge kartik aur naira ke jo family sab baat karti thi. Sirat ke barey mein to bahut kam hi tha hoga. That is at the base of this conflict, don't you see?

By the way, kartik did not marry sirat because she looked like naira. He loved her and she loved him and his kids too. Please don't insult kartik by saying that. And is being an elder child give one more rights than younger siblings?

Don't you think atleast arohi should take the responsibility of her thoughts and actions?.is it always correct to put blame of your mindset on the upbringing and thoughts of other people? Agree with the Manish part , the elders should have to be more careful regarding naira sirat topic.

Naira is not the reason why arohi has resentment towards akshara , if so it is selective, because she is fine with kairav.Arohi has a constant need to be the center of attraction or always wanting to be first. goenkas placing naira above sirat being a problem for arohi , dosent justify her attitude towards her sister.its like finding a convenient excuse for her arrogant behaviour.

Karthik sairat story didn't click with many viewers including me. Makers wrapped up the story showing a brief happily ever after for them.i still don't get how come naira was so easily replacable.iam no way disregarding sirats love for karthik or kids , but iam not attached to sirat as a character. About rights of children, all are equal . All are entitled to equal love and concern from elders.i think my sentence about akashara being elder came out wrong. What I meant was arohi should stop treating akshara In a home which is hers too as a nobody.

I don't know if aarohi consciously does that or it's just a gut reaction. I too don't understand why she has no issues with kairav. Possibly because he was away with vansh for a long time after sirat's death. Ofcourse it's not correct to blame others for who we are, ideally. But in fact people and situations do influence who we become. Now the more a person struggles to be good despite all of that, the greater he/she becomes. Sadly, majority of persons do not rise above their environment and that is the bitter truth. Akshu has but aarohi has not. I am only saying that given these circumstances, aarohi is reacting the way she is and it is sad that there isn't any one around her who can help her out of it because she really needs help.

I think makers started the kartik sirat track because they thought a new shivin love story might pick up the trps. Otherwise they could have brought the generation leap immediately after naira's death track. They might have explored more with the kairat track if it had clicked but sadly it didn't and so they just wrapped it up. 😒

As everyone here pointed out, akshu didn't like Arohi when she got to know she is her step sister. I would like to point out that even before, her behaviour towards akshara wasn't quite likeable.

She wanted to be treated like a princess and regarded the later as the common one.

If she faced the trauma, akhu too did face it

One knowing that sirat isn't her birth mother

Her sister's illogical indifference

Sirat's death

Guilt of her death

Seems like even if this generation of yrkkh is over this topic won't be over.

What akshu at that time shown was like a flash. A moment of thought when a reality crashed into her. The very moment they explained it she accepted everything.

If Aarohi lost her mother then Akshu lost a mother twice. The girl realised half of her life had been a lie still she took it and accepted it.

The only thing I hate about Akshu is her following Aarohi like seriously. How she told Aarohi in her sleep that when she leaves she will take all their memories. What memory is she talking about. I can only see how she had been knocked down again and again by Aarohi even before the step sister thing.

Wow this exploded while I was away 😆

I have read all the posts but don't have the energy to respond to all of them, I'll say this:

There are a range of opinions and views, and I respect them all! Some people can't relate to all 3, others like the FL and some prefer Aarohi over her. All of these are for various reasons and thats fine. My motive was simple, shedding light on a different side of the coin.

To everyone justifying ITV's typical FL characteristics as relatable... they were relatable but back in the early 2000's not any more. The mass is now educated and women stronger. Please do not tag derogatory and backward depictions as relatable. That's all from my side for now!
