Manjari asks Abhi to talk to Harsh as a father-son, but Harsh overhears and says that this fight can never end. They go back and forth, and Abhi says that his ego is huge which is why he wants a daughter in law like Aarohi and not Akshu. Harsh disinvites himself from Abhi’s wedding, and Manjari is standing there crying. This scene again showed that Manjari’s priority will always be Harsh. She does not even try to look at things from Abhi’s perspective, and a part of this is also because she is unable to speak up against Harsh due to the abuse and trauma she herself has experienced.
Aarohi is getting upset looking at her parent’s photo and crying, telling Kariav that she is all alone and that the feelings of being stranded on the mandap are coming back to her. I would feel really bad for her if she wasn’t so extremely jealous of Akshu. The only reason she is upset now is because Akshu is getting happiness. She was fine until Akshu didn’t have Abhi either. The way they keep zooming in on her face, major kaand loading.
At the hospital, Abhi asks Harsh if Akshu is joining the hospital or if he should resign. Just then, Akshu comes, as Harsh has called her. They have a private conversation, where he really badly insults Akshu, calling her a player, etc. The one-liners were funny here, but Harsh was really abusive towards her today. I did not like it at all, and again, it shows that the way he treats both Akshu and Manjari is the reason for his problems with Abhi. He is not just a father- he is also a husband and a future father-in law, and those relations matter too, and invariably impact Abhi. Admist this, he tells Akshu that he hates her because he is losing Abhi to her. Again, at the core, he is an insecure father who deeply loves his son, but his ego and his inability to understand Abhi is what is creating this mess in the first place.
Abhi’s expression seeing Akshu sitting in his chair was so cute. He said that shaadi hasn’t happened, but she is already taking over pati’s chair. It was too cute. They argue over Harsh… and these two are getting more and more frustrated with each other. Abhi is over her lectures on family, and she is over him seemingly just not caring. I felt really bad for Abhi today…he asked Akshu for her support and she said she cannot, because he is wrong. But, Akshu also cannot go into a household where the head of the family hates her so much and is against the marriage… especially given that they will be living in a joint family.
Abhi says that it is final, and Akshu is about to leave, when she falls. Finally we got a jaaniye sequence after so long. They both are standing on opposite ends of the door, wanting to after each other, but they don’t. This is symbolic given their current situation. Their first instinct is to work things out, but Akshu ends up leaving, and Aarohi sees. She is going to try to capitalize on these differences and do something major….
Precap is really cute. They are both hugging and shouting that their tilak has been fixed. Akshu asks Abhi to talk to Harsh one last time, but Harsh denies. Manjari also says she won’t go without him, so Abhi says to call the Goenkas and tell them tilak is cancelled. Again, Manjari’s priority will always be Harsh. I highly doubt the tilak will be cancelled this time, because that would just regress the story once again. They are just trying to fool us.
This tilak drama is just too much to handle at this point, and I am scared of the word. Don’t want to comment beyond this until the episode airs, but here, again, we are seeing Abhi choosing Manjari over Akshu if we are to think about it. He won’t go without her…. But that does not mean that he is giving up on his love with Akshu. He won’t do that even after he dies. Abhi and Akshu are a lot more similar than they come across to be. The difference is just that to Abhi, Manjari is the most important, and since Akshu grew up without parents, her entire family is important. Also, Pranu looks so stunning in the precap!!
