This is solely my opinion. Others may disagree
We all know how Gopi mask festival was so well shot. They could have given us some more open interactions between them to make us believe they are seriously into each other as in the trip we could see only abhimanyu was interested in her. After that they made abhimanyu a desperate person and a creep. In real life also, a guy obsessing over a girl who he met on a 3 day and who rejected him would be termed as a creep.
I get they wanted to show love at first sight. There is no issue absolutely with that- abhimanyu met a girl who soothed his soul and after a long time he felt alive. He liked that feeling and he calls it love. He immediately fell in love at first sight of that girl. We all would have loved that the guy has already fallen for the girl but i feel there should have been some more conversations in the trip to make us believe what makes these souls connect. Let's skip to this.
I don't like the involvement of Aarohi in this at all. If they wanted to show a love triangle, there was no need to involve 2 sisters in this. They could have shown abhimanyu marrying a girl out of family pressure because he has to move on. Abhimanyu wanting akshara to attend the wedding as a friend and a strong, logical reason for akshara to refuse Abhimanyu's alliance. Maybe they could have showed aarohi manipulating him just the way she did that she doesn't deserve Abhimanyu and hence the rejection but i don't think so there was any need to show aarohi again interested in a guy who openly rejected her in tilak 1.0 fiasco.
In the entire aarohi abhimanyu angle, they reduced abhimanyu to a characterless guy ready to marry the sister of the same girl whom he claims undying love for. He is ready to give her sister every kind of right in his life. There won't be love but still she will be his wife. Abhimanyu's proposal was absolutely indecent and the way he was still after akshara in the functions was absolutely cheap.
I don't want to go on why aarohi would obviously would feel hurt. Aarohi didn't love abhimanyu deeply but she has dreams of getting this handsome man, the dream of marrying a top doctor and being his wife and the very fact that she almost got him on her marriage day. Yes aarohi asked akshara to sacrifice her feelings for Abhimanyu but i don't think it was so wrong for her to deserve this kind of humilation.
I don't like this plot only - 2 girls obsessing over one guy and two sisters competing among themselves. Aarohi even after knowing akshara loves abhimanyu and abhimanyu loves her very sister wants him looks so cheap.
They could have stopped the drama after the fire incident. Abhimanyu starting to consider some arrange marriage proposal and one of two functions happened. Then something to happen and akshara abhimanyu to reunite. The fact that they have involved 2 sisters into the mess of marrying a guy is creepy and that makes abhira's story less interesting.
I loved abhimanyu till the molestation track. He said he won't marry anyone else apart from akshara which showed that the couple had major respect between them despite the rejections. It would be okay to show him trying to move on for mom's sake with pain but respect for akshara. The fact that he actually proposed Akshara's sister aarohi entirely disrespected akshara and their love. The freshness in the story is gone after that as it involved so much of drama.
It made Abhimanyu's character less likable for me as I had actually fallen in love with abhimanyu till the molestation track because of the respect he showed towards his ladylove that Akshara's name shouldn't be involved in this. The way he used to saw akshara itself made me go gaga.
They could have easily shown abhimanyu and akshara working in the same hospital while abhimanyu is engaged to some other girl and them coming closer. Akshara realizing abhimanyu isn't worth losing and that he is actually suffering internally then confessing her feelings. These two uniting. They could have very well shown the angst track there with Akshara falling in love with him while working in hospital and then there is a camp fire where she jumps to save him- that's where she realises she loves him way too hard to let him go and then abhimanyu to come to know through someone she saved him and these two having a confrontation and letting go of all the angst.
Other tv serials too showed this kind of plot with guy or girl being engaged to someone else and realizing their love. Dev was also engaged to some other girl in kuch rang pyaar ke bhi and he had respectful professional conversations with her . He realises he loves Sonakshi but first he goes and decently Apologizes to the girl he ws engaged to that I can't do this marriage and am feeling guilty of the same.
Here, they've showed abhimanyu as a shameless person to use aarohi like that.
Then their marriage track would be so much better like that with us knowing they both deeply respect each other. No aarohi involvement. So much freshness.
Since we've already seen functions of abhimanyu and Aarohi, it has reduced our craze..if we saw functions to be happening for the first time in yrkkh with akshara and abhimanyu would be so much better. It would always stay in our minds that aarohi and abhimanyu were about to get married
The entire goenkas agreeing to abhimanyu getting married to akshara after he jilted the another sister on mandap is weird.
So many subplots to build up abhira's love is ruined just like that- they didn't even give us any proper conversation.
