I am wondering, if abhi had behaved this way with Ak (role reversed) ( there is no way he would have , but this is an example) do you think, we would have allowed it or we would have bashed abhi and supported ak ?

Good question. Me - I would have. Hell, I had supported him during the Tilak 2.0, sagai and mehendi scenes so I would support him here too.

Not that I can't connect with Akshara or don't understand where she is coming from. I understand and support her too. Neither is wrong and neither one is right. Makes it easy for me to connect. Mine being a love marriage with both families initially dead against, helps me understand the family dynamics too.

Akshara and Abhimanyu meeting at night of Shivratri makes so much sense!! I am excited!! 😍😍

You've covered it all. Nothing much for me to add. And agree with you on all points.

Akshara was trying to divert him, cheer him up, be normal. But he is way too hurt to see it that way. He is only hearing her words - I'll be busy with my family. Milna nahi hopayega na! He took that to mean as - I won't have time to meet you.

Precap of bade papa aside, I think she WILL meet him the night of Shiv ratri...maybe to give him the rudraksh. I don't see her not meeting at all. As he told Manjari - Shiv ratri mein Shiv aur Shakti ka milan hua tha na. Unless of course, bade papa giving the go ahead can be considered the same. But somehow I don't want it to be that way. Sab TRP ke haath mein hain, I suppose although for the life of me, I have no clue what the TRP business is all about other than the fact that it's known to steer and decide the storylines by the makers.

Either way, this show and all of you here are my stress-busters. So I ain't gonna leave. Of course HC being ogle-worthy is a huge bonus.😆

Loved Bade papa and Abhi scene. And Mimi caught on immediately that Manish was seeing his Karthik in Abhi.

Had to watch the episode on a sketchy site because Hulu betrayed me. But, it was so worth the wait.

Yesterday, Akshu poured out her heart, and today it was Abhi’s turn. The most important thing is that they are being entirely vulnerable with each other. This is how their relationship will progress.

Abhi says that Akshu fights for her family, but she does not fight for herself. He asks what kind of love is this that can be questioned at any time… he is so frustrated that their relationship keeps being insulted and disrespected. Yesterday, Akshu was not blaming Abhi. She was letting her emotions of guilt and burden flow. Today, Abhi was not blaming Akshu. He was in a way talking to himself… a part of him wishes that they had run away and gotten married, because that would mean that their love would finally be respected in society. He is sick and tired of having to give answers for something that is the biggest and purest truth of his life. He never thought that he would fall in love, and Akshu is the greatest miracle of his life. Why should he have to keep on defending that?

Even in all of his pain, Abhi could not see Akshu crying. He made sure to wipe her tears. He vent out how he has tried to solve this mess, but it keeps not working. He had flashbacks to every time, in his mind, Akshu has chosen her family over him. He is so deeply triggered and that pain was never addressed. So, it is only natural for it to come pouring out at this pain. He misinterpreted Akshu to be saying that this love is a mistake…when she was only speaking out of her vulnerability of almost losing a 4th parent.

Akshu knows that she has deeply hurt Abhi and she apologizes, admitting that even she did not know what she was saying. I felt so bad for her in this moment. Neither one of them are wrong here. Their pain is so different, and yet so much the same. Akshu keeps saying that she cannot live without him, but he is frustrated and so deeply hurt. Again, she is not choosing her family over him, but that is how it is coming across to him.

She tries to make things normal about talking about the pooja, wanting him to say that they will meet tomorrow, but he stays silent too, so she leaves. Abhi takes this as him not being important to her, but she goes home and makes a Rudraksh mala for him too. She says that just because she acts normal does not mean that she is not hurt too to Aarohi. This dialogue speaks volumes about Akshu and her differences to Abhi. Akshu sucks her feelings in, while Abhi pours them all out.

Akshu tells Aarohi that she has not forgotten what happened… and I love that she is not letting it go this time. Aarohi observed Abhira’s conversation, and she will surely try to do something out of her jealously.

Despite Abhi’s pain, he still takes care of Manish. This scene was so amazing. Manish refuses to eat, but Abhi forces him, and in that moment, he sees Kartik. Mimi realizes this, and Manish looks like he is in so much pain. Abhi has brought his son back to life. This bond is going to be beautiful to see.

The Abhi and Manjari scene was heartbreaking. Abhi says tomorrow is shivratri and that is when Shiv and Parvati united… both of them gave up things. Shiv finally settled in a home, and Parvati left behind the comfort of her palace. He is hurt, because to him, it seems that Akshu cannot leave anything behind for him. But, what he needs to understand is that Shiv, who had no home and was known for being a nomad, settled down for a family for his love. This is an exact parallel to Abhira. Abhi needs to understand the importance of family in their relationship, and Akshu also will leave behind the comfort of her own home… she will leave behind everything when the time comes (most likely adoption kaand).

The next morning, Abhi is trying to meditate, but he keeps having flashbacks of the night before. This is how Shiv was in his meditation state while Parvati was doing her penance. He kept seeing her meditating, and as a result his own meditation was interrupted. These were in the moments right before their union… and this is exactly what is happening here. Shiv was unsettled, as he was remembering Shakti as Sati… doubting her ability to become Parvati…. But Parvati proved him wrong…. And this is exactly what will happen here!! Akshu is in her penance state, and she will prove to Abhi that he is just as important to her as is her family!

Final note on mythology- Whether it was Sati or Parvati, it was the Rudraksh that always brought her to Shiv. Sati’s first encounter with Shiv was a Rudraksh, and Parvati meditated with a Rudkrash to win Shiv over. All signs are pointing in the completion of her penance!

I think the same, Satya. The entire next week will be mahashivtrati...they will stretch like anything and it will bring in all the TRPs because we will get some family scenes, angst scenes, and it will end with shaadi being fixed in one way or another. Like I said in my analysis, Akshu making the Rudraksh mala today followed by Abhi-Manjari's conversation, followed by Abhi's disturbed meditation is literally sequentially out of Shiv Puran in the last stages of Parvati's penance for Shiv. Sati did not know who Shiv was... but one day, a guru gave her a Rudraksh, and that marked the beginning of their journey. Parvati was wearing a Rudraskh mala while she meditated to win Shiv over. Today, Akshu, in her Parvati roop made that mala. Abhi was in the meditative state, just like Shiv was in the moments before Shiv-Parvati union, But, his mediation kept getting interrupted, because he kept having flashbacks to Sati burning herself and all of the kaands associated with Daksh. He was having doubts on whether she could really change... and here, Abhi is having those same insecurities. But, after that, on mahashivatri, Parvati won Shiv over, just like Akshu will win Abhi over. And, in order for Mahadev to fully be convinced, the gods had to intervene...so I guess here, Manish will play that part, as the gods are considered to be relatives of Parvati (they came from her side during their grand marriage). Of course, during the actual societal marriage track, we will see Akshu leave everything behind and choose her Shiv (Abhi), as Abhi alluded to today..Parvati left her palace behind. But, by then, Abhi will also have realized the importance of family, again, as alluded to today. Shiv was a nomad, and he settled down for Parvati.

Yes, thanks to my dadi, I was brought up hearing Shiva Puran. So the minute he started talking about Shiv Parvati and then Aksu making the rudraksh, I could see the connect right there. Want to see how they bring about it all together. I don't want it to be rushed either. Mandir scene took up a week. This should too, going by the same principle. 😆

If there is going to be an adoption track coming up then Abhi might end up being a nomad (figuratively speaking) and Akshu would leave the world for him.
