I knew it would come back to 'riding the bike' is only one of the points you have raised. I clearly addressed having this entire comparison is ridiculous. As I mentioned in earlier post, I pointed it out only because you gave it so much importance to that fact posting it in caps, as if it some huge achievement.

Now coming to breaking stereotypes with respect to riding bikes. I don't want to go into deep because I will have to bring a lot intersectionality here that cut across class and caste in India. And now, two young uber privileged girls who are born into one of the richest and progressive family who has access to almost everything in life materialistically can do whatever they want. One choosing to ride a bike and the other chosing not to when they clearly have no barriers to break doesn’t make one cool and the other uncool.

Does ITV actually belittle smart competent and ambitious versus simple selfless more traditional. Are characters on TV or real life actually that binary. Are question like these just a guise for putting one side down versus the other - just what one accuses others of doing? Just like calling Akshara is “sweet”. Whether focusing on one point in caps lower down a long list gives one the right to make assumptions about the authors thought process… lots of interesting points to consider.

Glad this post is generating debate though.

You got me on your side.

I completely agree with your argument.

I personally feel that unlike the personality with which Akshu is portrayed in the serial, she is feisty and cool. And not just because she can ride a bike. She is like a sleeping Sherni to me who knows how to act according to the situation. She is mature in that way. And she puts her family before herself and her happiness. She is emotional too. But she is also this clueless childish girl who is clumsy and easily excited by everything. She is a mix of completely opposite characters which comes out as the situation requires. That is what makes her my favorite.

As for Aarohi, she has the stubbornness of the youngest of the family. She is really smart and very level headed and knows what she wants and works for it. But her judgement towards Akshara is clouded by the hatred that settled in her mind since childhood. I really feel that Aaru hates Akshu not because Sirat died trying to get her but because Sirat left her hand to go to Akshu. She has felt that she is second to Akshu since childhood and for that I blame Sirat and Goenkas. Because a child will not understand the complex reasons behind her sibling being given more affection than her. She felt like she came second to Akshu. And after the Naira revelation, she felt that her mom came second to Akshu's mom. All of this made her competitive and obsessed with getting what she wants.

But Aarohi still hasn't done anything unforgivable though I am one of the people who keep taking out the frustration on her. She likes a guy and he likes Akshu which just triggered her belief that everyone chooses Akshu over her and she got angry. That's what Aarohi Goenka does. She gets angry and starts yelling at Akshara. It's not fair on her part but by doing that, she is only being human.

The Tilak drama was not her fault.

The Birlas assuming stuff wasn't her fault. She didn't correct Abhi but in her defense, he hung up before she could say anything and then her wheels started turning.

The mandhir galat Femi was also not her fault.

Other than her Abhimanyu obsession and hatred towards Akshu, Aaru is a pretty decent character. She is affectionate and respectful towards the rest of the family. She passed the test Harsh had for her with flying colors because she is a decent doctor. She is practical. And in those two episodes of the sisters being affectionate, there really was love between them.

I feel that her hatred and anger is just her sadness and helplessness.

Unless the story goes the Icche noode way ofcourse, because then she is gonna be Mega vamp. But right now, she isn't a vamp.

Was there a test at all? Didn’t she say that she hasn’t done a test so what was he talking about? I thought he took his decision by noticing her ignore the fallen child in favour of making it in time for her interview. To be honest I would have probably done that too maybe… but I didn’t like her answers about money. My sister is studying for medicine and I know she takes her duty to patients very seriously.

How can I do that when the writers/makers haven't even put that choice in front of audience.

They literally showed us one is good and smart, and the other is selfish and vile. The first episode when they were introduced itself Akshara was wearing white and Arohi black. From there onwards they have been progressing the same way.

So when you are presented something that EXPLICITLY STATES A is better than B. What is the point even in discussing I think A is better than B because of so and so.

💯 True. There's no need of comparison because we already know that Akshara is the lead and will be blessed with all the good genes and naivety, alongwith the Kaira good nature

And Arohi will be hated and sidelined and made more worse.

There is actually no need to compare the both of them.

Of course, we can speak about Akshara's character in general and how it is improving but other than that, there is no sense in comparing the sisters.

True but that’s like any “villain” in a series or a movie. Ideally you want them to make the villain a great character so that people can relate to this person and understand their logic for what they do certain things.

And the same with the main protagonists. Rather than making them just good - making them nuanced is what makes them interesting. What I don’t like about itv is that often rather than making the characters nuanced they make them bloody fickle. So their character keeps changing form one day to the other depending on what the plot is. And humans in real life tend to be more consistent than that..

She stayed cool and took care of the patient in the hospital though she wasn't officially a doctor at the hospital. And she is just an intern. An intern is not that smart, trust me. I am a medical student myself and I would not entrust any one of my seniors with my life.

And I don't think she ignored any child. Did I miss that part?

And I didn't mind her answer. She is not money-minded. But she is definitely practical and though I am a bit emotional and can't think like her, I respect her.
