I get where you're coming from, and I too would love a happily ever after but only when there is no toxicity involved. Why do we accept toxic men as the norm in desi TV shows (and movies to some extent)? Why do we also not ship the couple when the woman is toxic, but there is true love (which is not possible if there is toxicity but for argument's sake)? Not that I am saying we should. Toxicity can and should never be tolerated. Trials of life are enough for a couple, there is no need for two people who're supposed to be each other's anchor and peace to be so vile to each other. Drama created by Manjari, Arohi, and other external factors were sensational enough. They felt it was okay to turn Abhimanyu into this obnoxious character because it is widely accepted as a norm.
Regardless of whether we like it or agree with it, these shows are giving out silent messages and have an impact on the society as people accept such to be normal and only those who either get exposure or study at least a little psychology reject these vices.

I think at times we tend to judge reel life characters as though they are real. In reality, if my husband had done what Abhi did, I would probably have done far worse things than Ak.
But this is fiction. I am not sure about others. For me fiction is an escape from reality. Thats why I dont watch emotionally charged shows. Whilst I want some reality, I still want my "happily ever after" and I like HC, unfortunately I get easily swayed towards Abhi because of this😩😩. I like PR too, but only found her with this show, so it will take time for me to be influenced by her.
