Ok, it was an amazing episode!!
Aarohi keeps trying to ask Akshu what happened, but before Akshu can say anything Kairav and Reem bring her downstairs. All of the Birlas compliment how pretty Akshu looks. My heart broke for Akshu. She was trying so hard to put on a brave face. They start playing a game for fun until Abhi arrives.
Meanwhile, Manjari stole the episode. She is speaking straight facts. He asks Abhi to think why Akshu got sick at the hospital that day. That she as a mother knew that something was deeply wrong. That she knew that Akshu never wanted to hide it. She asks him that if truth is so important, why is he so mad now? She told him everything and he should be happy. Manjari emphasizes the importance of trust over and over again. Abhi says that he cannot do this shaadi, and Manjari doesn’t stop him. He is shocked. He was expecting her to say something else, and the remorse is immediately visible on his face. Manjari says to just think about who Akshu is…can she really do this? In his anger, Abhi has lost his sense of who his Akshu is. He has forgotten that he fell in love with the girl that can hurt no one. Manjari reminds him, and he shows up today.. so she gets through to him.
Manjari asks him how she should inform the Goenkas, and Abhi’s response is that he wants to punish Aarohi. He said he is breaking the marriage in rage, but he cannot do it. He loves Akshu more than life.
The cops show up and Akshu has flashbacks to Abhi saying he will punish Aarohi. The Birla elders arrive too. Harsh says that they are here because of Manjari’s accident, but we all know they are taking advantage of this opportunity. It is disgusting. They are using her accident to put Akshu down.
The Goenkas blast the sisters, and Akshu keeps trying to explain her side of the story. She says that she didn’t know someone had been injured, that she told Abhi, etc. But just like Abhi, Harsh refuses to listen and cuts her off.
Mahima calls her a criminal and once again shows fake concern for Manjari. If she actually cared, she wouldn’t be plotting these tricks.
Harsh blames Akshu for everything…saying that Aarohi was sensible, but Akshu corrupted her. What a sick joke! At least his delusion about Aarohi is broken.
Manjari arrives and starts sobbing for Akshu. But, she is unable to speak up. Akshu and Manjari are so similar in that they are pressed and repressed under toxic relationships.
Harsh keeps asking who was driving, and Akshu remains silent, as does Aarohi — in fact, Aarohi doesn’t speak at all — this vile creature. She only starts saying sorry and falls to the ground when Harsh says her medical license will be cancelled. Pathetic. I have no words.
When Aarohi falls to the ground, Akshu takes the blame. She has flashbacks to all of her manipulations. And, I have already given my POV here many times, so I don’t want to explain her behavior anymore. Abhi’s love is Akshu’s strength and what takes her out of her past traumas of Aarohi’s blackmail. But in this moment, Abhi hasn’t come. She is a mess. She is a disaster. She thinks that she has lost Abhi. So, the manipulations and her trauma get the best of her. We cannot judge someone by something they do in their most vulnerable moment. Just like we cannot judge Abhi for saying he won’t marry Akshu, we cannot judge Akshu for this. It was not even a decision… it was autopilot. She thought she had lost everything. Protecting Aarohi is her trauma from childhood due to Sirat’s promise. Abhi will eventually take her all the way out of it. It will take time.
Right as Akshu is being dragged out, Abhi comes and catches her. He looks at her with so much remorse and he is in so much pain. He touches her face and holds her hand. He is her for her on his own will. Their love has triumphed. This was such a beautiful scene. It was so so so well executed.
Abhi is looking at the Birlas with so much anger… they are done for!!!!
He didn’t tell them about the accident, so he surely knows that Akshu has been framed! I think tomorrow we will find out what happened and let him to this moment. Manjari got threw to him, but I feel that he might have found some proof too. I think he found the letter — which will be shown in flashbacks. This also explains why he looked SO PISSED today.
In terms of the precap… Abhi says that he loves Akshu and wants to marry her, but Aarohi cannot be a part of the wedding.
I have no doubts that Akshu will choose Abhi this time. She cannot lose him under any circumstances.
This is a huge parallel, which I will talk about in another post!
