The smartest person in today’s episode was actually Harshvardhan. In two ways:
(1) He was the only one who was clear minded enough to see what Abhi was doing. He said what a lot of us are thinking - “meh meh meh” where is Akshara is your Meh. Abhi is creating a love story in his life and dreams in which he is the main protagonist. He is willing to change his room for Akshara but not truly listening to her, seeing her. He is not taking Akshara along the journey in the love story.. In that sense he and Arohi are exactly the same. Both like coffee and both are meh meh meh.
(2) He played Abhi like a well tuned violin. He knows that what Abhi and Akshara need is time and privacy to have conversations. And he also knows that nothing riles Abhi up more than trying to prove his father wrong. So he put a challenge in front of him. And Abhi did exactly what Hardh knew he would. Rather than behaving like a mature adult and doing what is best for him and Akshara, Abhi focused on proving his father wrong and agreed to bring Akshara home.
It’s funny how we are supposed to feel like Manjiri knows Abhi best because she is loving and close to him and has a harmonious relationship with him…. And yet she is failing by saying yes to everything he says and does. Sometimes truly loving someone means telling them when they are doing somehtjng wrong. When they are not looking beyond themselves. And in that sense Manjiri is risking Abhi in the same way the Goenkas are failing Arohi. I’m not saying Harsh loves him more but he definitely know Abhi better than Manjiri. Today proved that to me.
If Abhi really wants to love Akshara and build a live with her he needs to see beyond the Meh to what she wants and how she is struggling.
