I'm not sure if I can defend Aarohi because though I get her intentions and where her insecurity stems from, it gets to a point where you become more wrong than right.
Aarohi is insecure about the position she has in the family. Her grandmother's words about her being a second choice, are what drive her to be "No. 1". And however bitter it might sound, Sirat was always the second choice for Kartik. He had already loved Naira with all his heart and soul - Sirat would never be his soul-mate. And while both Sirat and Karthik were okay with it - they both had soul mates before they met each other - obviously Aarohi is not very comfortable with that fact. And her jealousy also stems from the fact that everyone naturally gravitates towards Akshara. In her quest to be numero uno, she's lost track of her conscience and that has been topped with the relative free hand the family gives her.
Akshara on the other hand has taken Sirat's words to heart. She's spent her entire life working to be the nurturing person Sirat wanted her to be. But she's a young girl herself, and doesn't know how to be an honorary parent. To be a stronger voice with Aarohi.
She's been publicly dumped and she hates Akshu-Abhi for it. I get it. But she's manipulated situations so very thoroughly that her bitterness is more about her ego than her respect.
In our world intent matters. As long as Akshara felt Aarohi's intent behind marrying Abhimanyu was love, she stood silently. When she realised the intent was not love, but rather her ego and her image, she had to pick up her voice. If the MD exam had been two days earlier and she had gotten to know Aarohi's truth then, she might have stopped the wedding then too. All the problems bubbled over on the wedding day due to moronic steps by all the three leads.
And it's very hard anyway to see your love getting married to someone else. But to imagine that you are going to destroy your love's life - a man who is ready to go against anyone and everyone for you - because the person who you are sacrificing everything for has no value of him as a person or marriage as a whole.
I'm not saying Abhi-Akshu are right - but their intentions were never bad. Same cannot be said for Aarohi. At least for me.
