The thing is since I understand the mechanics, I find it very difficult to be into shows/movies/books 100%. It gives me an aerial viewpoint. I understand and accept the motivations but I don't get emotionally invested unless it is done exceptionally well. That does not mean I don't get annoyed, I do especially when stories are rushed, half baked or strands simply dropped or even weird motivation/response is given and may differ abstractly.
So from that viewpoint I think all 3 leads have been true to character but there had been few wobbles with Akshu and Arohi. Abhi has been the more consistent one. I also think none of them deserve hatred certainly not even Arohi - without her, this would not be the story we are watching. And before many say exactly, she was created to be a thorn in Abhira side so like it or not they will all react strongly, violently and out of the box when confronted with situations and new tracks. She is here to stay. Like her or not, understand her or not, she will be with Abhira for a long while. A real life person like her would need lots of love and attention, therapy and understanding. Lot of the actions by Arohi could have been avoided if we had more well rounded people around her.
I love Abhi (and HC) but I think he over did with Arohi on tilak 3 day. Yes he was angry, rightly so and let his tongue get away from him. This has now created the situation we are seeing. I like that, it means the mechanics are working. In story terms he has made a blunder but he is human and we all live and learn and so will he. The thing is, he had never had the chance to get rid of his anger on Arohi and he did it that day. He did it again in the hospital scene and he will do it again when the wedding card scenario is raised.
There is a powerful saying 'To err is human, to forgive divine'. Honestly, given Arohi's situation, if Abhi had applied that saying Arohi would have calmed down, some of her shame and sense of failure would have been assuaged. Now she is inflamed even more because he once more hurt her ego/pride. When people get blinded by their emotions, driven actually, all sense of right and wrong goes out the window. They can be very dangerous in those moments. The only redeeming factor I can see in Arohi at the moment is she does love Akshu. It is deeply hidden, often reluctant, but there are moments it comes through. I think ultimately that would surface and may help save the day.
And as for Akshu, well I wish she is more wiser and understands the pain it is causing Arohi. Not for Arohi's sake but for herself so she can enjoy this moment she has been longing for. Her tendency to brush things under the carpet or turn a blind eye cannot work every time. Abhi compensates for her but we can all see what's happening because of that. She needs to take over, she has the best tack but it is a given she will be the bone the other two fight over.
