Thanks for the tag Pooja.
It was a great episode, no fillers. Fast paced and interesting.
Im so glad Neel posed those questions to Manjari. Someone had to. Manjari’s decision to stay mute has destroyed everything but she’s happy to place the blame on Ak.
I’m so glad Anand was able to clearly articulate how both Harsh and Manjari are both wrong. But Abhi ( at the moment) cannot see his mom being blamed. Abhi only sees things from Manjari’s side, he is unable to see how hiding all these secrets was unfair to Neel.
To be fair, Ak was tempted to poke her nose into the DNA results, but she did not break her promise to stay out of Birla family business.
But the damage was already done, all evidence pointing to her. How I wish instead of calling the lab to find out who collected the results Abhi had called Ak to ask her. What a convoluted mess.
Aarohi is pure evil. They sent her all the way to the dark side.
Looks like Mahima and Anand are together in a crisis.
Not sure what Harsh is up to- he hasn’t said much - so unlike him.
Anand makes Harsh and Manjari both shut up and demands answers. He says that just because Manjari’s intentions were pure doesn’t make her hiding it wrong + Harsh is obviously wrong too. Abhi tries to defend Manjari but Anand shuts him up. Harsh leaves, and Mahima and Anand follow. Harsh sends them away saying he doesn’t want gyaan, but Harsh honestly looks shattered. Mahima and Anand comfort each other. This bitter truth coming out is what is going to heal the family.
Meanwhile bitch Aarohi has told the Goenkas that Akshu knew what was in the file and still gave it to Neil. A curse of a sister. No other words. She wants to ruin Abhira as her revenge on Abhi and due to her jealously of Akshu.
Neil thanks Manjari but says you stole my only biological relation. He says that he is forever grateful, but she made him her son while preventing him from being the house’s son. He wants answers. He doesn’t know what his reality is anymore. Abhi stops him from questioning, but Neil doesn’t listen to Abhi… he says today he will talk and everyone has to hear him. He couldn’t even get a dad’s hate while Abhi only gave hate and got love in return. Abhi says he understands, but Neil says he cannot. Akshu is the only one who can remotely understand Neil, and I am sure she will be the one to heal him.
Neither Neil nor Abhi were wrong here. Neil was spitting facts. What Manjari did was so wrong. Neil would have been happy with a father’s hate too, but Manjari did not even allow him that. And, for Abhi, Manjari is the only one who ever gave him anything even close to love in that toxic household. Yes, her love is selfish, and yes, it is full of lies. But, when you are so deprived of love, you turn the little you get into your entire life. Manjari is a victim of Harsh’s abuse, and Abhi has spent his entire life protecting her. What Harsh did was wrong, and Abhi cannot look past that…understandably so.
Manjari blames Akshu saying only they read the reports and asking her why she gave the file. Akshu tries to explain but Manjari doesn’t let her, saying she ruined the family she had kept together…seriously…this family was together? My foot. She says she cannot forgive her.
Akshu says I have an explanation, but Abhi puts his headphones on and leaves. As he is walking, he remembers Akshu wanting to explain so he calls the hospital and of course finds out that Akshu collected the DNA file. He wanted to give her the benefit of doubt, but the circumstances are just stalked against them once again.
Abhi is crying to mahadev that Neil, Manju, and Akshu’s lives have all been entangled and he doesn’t know how to fix it. He pities Manjari and what Harsh did, Neil’s life is shook, and he thinks that Akshu once again broke his promise causing all of this. He does not know how he is going to fix this, and he is hopeless. I felt so so so bad for him. He has been the protector of these people since his childhood and he feels like he himself has failed.
The only way that Abhi has ever known to deal with pain is anger. That is his defense mechanism. Slowly, akshu is changing that, but he is unwilling to let her bear the brunt of it. On the anniversary night, he stayed silent, and today, he put his headphones on and left.
Him leaving while Akshu was begging him to listen was so wrong. He could have told her that he needs time so as to not disregard her like that. But, people make mistakes. and, for a man who’s first resort is always to explode, him choosing to leave speaks volumes about how much he loves Akshu. He tried to believe her, but of course the lab manager created more MUs.
My heart broke for both Abhira today, but I really do wish that Abhi would have let Akshu explain herself. She deserves to be heard by him. And he has assumed that she broke her promise. Yes, the odds are stacked against her, but this is where trust has to come in. His world has come crashing, but admist that, he has left Akshu alone.
Akshu is sobbing asking how she is going to make these people believe that she didn’t do anything wrong. I am so happy that she isn’t blaming herself. She is determined to prove that she is innocent, and she will!
Just then, Parth calls Abhi saying Neil is missing. Akshu overhears too.
