Phew! I finally got caught back up. 2 weeks worth of episodes. I fast forward the Manjari fainting and hospital scenes. Only focused on the important ones like Abhi Shefali conversation, Abhi Goenkas, Bade Papa, Akshu, and when both families were together.
So this Abhinav man, there was one episode he was talking so much I wanted to put tape over his mouth. Good thing Akshu told him he talks to much and could he just shut it 🤣
Some of the episodes were not as bad as people where making it out to be. There was a lot of setup for sure. And now that we have the leap the layers are slowly being revealed to us.
Akshu, Abhir, and Abhinav
I still think they are faking the marriage. Correct me if I am wrong but the house said Sharma? Who's last name is that?
I don't see any problem with Abhir calling Abhinav "Papa" after all Abhinav has been with him and taken care of him since he was born. If the baby naturally called him "Papa" he's earned it.
In regards to the sleeping arrangement. It's two beds pushed together as one. Akshu and Abhir have the big bed together. Abhinav is sleeping on the single. Abhir is always sleeping between Akshu and Abhinav. The Thu Thu Thu I don't take so seriously. I was looking at it more for Abhir that he remains happy.
The picture frames in the house show Abhir by himself, then Abhinav by himself, and then Akshu by herself. There is yet to be a family photo and if you notice Abhir is always placed between Akshu and Abhinav. We have not seen Akshu and Abhinav close like husband and wife or as lovers. Abhinav still stands at a respectful distance at times. But we can see Abhinav is thankful for this family but I feel possibly he may want more soon.
Akshu is living the illusionary family life. To me its like she took a pause in life to be away from all the stress of her real family and the complex relationship she now shares with the Birlas. She still holds onto a lot of memories. The name Abhi triggers her still. She doesn't sing because music was her love and Abhi was the one who inspired her a lot in her singing. It's too painful now to do that. So to me she isn't exactly healed. She is still hurt but is focusing all her attention on raising Abhir.
Abhi, Ruhi, Arohi and the rest of the Birlas
Illusionary world of Manjari 🤪
I don't doubt Abhi loves Ruhi but I think he is taking his responsibility overboard. It's his heavy compensation, promise, guilt, and loss that is driving this. I'm hoping next few episodes shows some balance because right now sorry to say Abhi is actually spoiling Ruhi in a way that is going to set her up to not be able to face life. Ruhi gets pancakes with chocolate syrup? Sure there are fruits but like what? Knowing Ruhi is faking her sickness because she wants her "Poppy" to come and he immediate comes running is a bit much. I'm hoping that despite Arohi being Ruhi's mother that the good traits of Neil is there in Ruhi too and the rest of the family instill some values in her. Maybe watching all those serials she rather be the good lead🤣 and when she says she loves "Poppy" she will later see her "Poppy" isn't really happy and wants his family back and helps Abhir get Abhi and Akshu back together. (Seriously doubt CVs will give that, but one can wish)
Can I say I really like the room update. Nice new floors! Abhi is just a robot doing his duty. The only thing that is keeping him alive is the promise to Neil. No one can see his pain because now he's hiding it just like Akshu use to do. Only Bade Papa asks as he has always had a better understanding of Abhi. I hope Vinay Sir didn't leave the show. I was really hoping Harshvardhan would be around to see his grand son and the CVs could finally have Abhi and Harsh get their track and closure via Abhir.
I don't like what they did to Shefali. Parth and her always had a rocky relationship but it never escalated to hitting. Seems so forced just to give some track to them. There are so many other tracks they could have had 🤔 Akshu may find out and help Shefali. Gosh, the sisterly bonding they could have had! Wasted potential!
Precap:
I don't think Abhi knows Abhir is his. He most like just knows Akshu has a son. That is the drama quotient in all of this. If he knows how can you build a dramatic story of why Akshu hide this and get the Birlas specifically Manjari all riled up to want to see her grandson?
As for Abhir we may have to see the next few episodes if he knows anything. They can play this so many ways.
1) Abhir does not know but Akshu was getting ready to tell him. Something or another gets him to Udaipur before she can. He meets Goenkas. Maybe he meets Ruhi at a camp. Akshu has taught how to fight so maybe some bully tries to mess with Ruhi and he saves her. So initially Ruhi likes him and maybe through that he meets Birlas. More drama and someone tells Abhir the wrong way like Ruhi or Arohi. He is then hurt his mother lied and somehow stays with Birlas wanting to stay away from Akshu. Abhi of course looks after him and then more drama, etc.
2) Abhir actually knows who his real father is and he thinks his real father doesn't want to have anything to do with them.
3) Abhir does not know but ends up overhearing a conversation maybe between Akshu and Bade Papa and he thinks his real father does not want anything to do with him and threw him and his mother away. So he will be angry at Abhi..
I am thinking 1 and 3 are more likely for again drama. If the secret is known then where is the drama? What does the show have to tell?
