I finally caught up! I had so many episodes to watch 😆 I know some of you are wondering how I did it considering some of them be heartbreakingly tough and I must be 🤪 I barely fast forwarding too😆
I'm trying to focus on the character actions on why they would do something and try to continue to maintain a positive light.
We are seeing Abhi have that deer in the headlights look again. He is literally scared now. But he's trying to reason with himself by repeating he has to stick to his word and take on his responsibilities. It does make me wonder if this is how Akshu must have felt inside when she started her make believe word with Abhinav?
We've been shown a lot of parallels between Akshu's situation and Abhi's situation of "moving on" Akshu has always been the quieter character. Her actions and reactions are very internal or very subtle. Like the twitch of her lips, the way her mouth opens, how she gulps air, or the look in her eyes. While Abhi is much more emotionally expressive and has more flamboyant reactions.
I cannot lie I was so happy to see the appearance of dream Akshu 😆 PR looked so good! She was finally out of her Kasuali-ish clothes and all 😆 Back to some normal Akshu wear. Abhi though looks like a shaggy mess 😆 I cannot wait for him to finally get a hair cut and look more fresh again.
I don't know if this has been said before. But have you guys noticed Abhi's recent dressing sense? He's wearing a lot more plaid and to me is sort of matching with Akshu's current styling. While Abhinav is like wearing more dress shirts to sort of match the status of Goenka's house. I mean his shirt are still of a lesser quality but they look more professional? I can't quite place the word.
Okay 2 things I want to say about today's episode.
1) Abhi still needs to wake up but I'm just wondering how and in what way he's going to realize anything. I can only see that Manjari's erratic behavior and her rushing is going to eventually make him snap. And if Arohi who is playing her own long game ends up doing something herself. I'm surprise Arohi would really think Abhi would have gifted that necklace to her. He was in a complete daydream daze. The box with the letter was lying on the bed. Arohi is smart and nosy enough to take a look at it and know it was originally for Akshu.
2) I guess Arohi will wear it purposefully and gloat about it in front of everyone to again drive the narrative that Abhi is ready to move on and see how he is treating me. And of course it's going to sting Akshu. She's now seen the wedding preparations so in some sense she too is forced to "move on" now with Abhinav. So now we get to the push and pull between both of them but its now going to involve Arohi and Abhinav getting this false sense of "moving forward" when the partners may not necessary be doing it under their own free will and more of a "forced" choice placed upon themselves.
Pre-cap:
I like this Surekha even though I know she is there to cause trouble with her remarks and ideas 😆 She's at least saying things out loud and stating the obvious.
I know Abhinav is going to play dumb and ignore the way Akshu went running out the door barefoot to get to Abhi after he was hit Whole family can play dumb 🤪 But I really hope this accident does a few things.
1) Makes Abhinav get back on the path that Abhi has a right to know about Abhir. Abhi could have lost his life and Abhir would have never known his father or had a chance to have a relationship with his real father. Akshu may fight with him ono that but he will find ways for Abhir and Abhi to meet.
2) Akshu is not ready to move on despite her pretending to so that when she eventually does ask for a date or whatever Abhinav realizes this is not going to go anywhere. During the episode where Akshu and Abhinav got called into the principal's office about Abhir's family project, he had help guide Akshu on the path to go back to Udaipur so Abhir could get to know his maternal side of the family. He stated he too has a selfish reason as he is an orphan and he wants to experience what a family is like. I can only hope (fingers crossed) he will end up doing the same thing regarding "love". No doubt he will be selfish and want to know what it is like to love and hope Akshu does fall for him but in the end he will see and realize what is between Abhi and Akshu. He will see what is love through them 😆
Ending thoughts is that I feel the writers are really exploring the whole Love vs Respect relationships. We have seen Arohi stand up for Abhi in front of everyone and we have seen Abhinav stand up in front of everyone for Akshu. So there is respect coming from the sidey partners. I think we are forgetting Abhi and Akshu have stood up for each other too many times. But some times they faltered when it really counted. Respect is needed in a relationship but can it just be that?
Just like Love is not enough, just having Respect is also not enough. It has to be a balance of both for the relationship to truly survive. Abhi still has no idea about his son and the importance of why Akshu rejected his apology and was telling him about the phone calls. Until he connects to that Akshu is not going to open herself back up to him. Love is there between the two. It has always been there. I do not doubt that about them. They are both shameless in their love for each other and can and will go through any lengths for each other. But right now they are both very broken and cannot see past the illusions they have built or the ones people have built for around them.
