Hello.
Apologize for barging in uninvited. Found your question very interesting so thought I'd add my own two cents.
Firstly, I have stopped following this serial post the first leap. So whatever progress I have gathered thus far is from going through various posts in this forum. Specifically the daily episode discussion threads.
Second, why the characters of this show do certain things most times don't make any sense, courtesy of the esteemed writers and creatives. So for all we know, they would brush it all under the carpet with some random explanantion in one episode or they are saving all her thoughts for the Abhira confrontation.
But if we keep the creatives creativity aside and assume Akshara is actually a woman and try to answer this question...
Is Akshu being unfair to Abhir - Not from Akshu's POV.
Why?
Let us assume she reveals Abhir's paternity. What are the sequence of events (from where she is currently standing and based on her past experiences with the Gorillas)?
1. Abhi would want to have Abhir with him.
2. His mom would pour fuel into the fire and he would either file for custody or both sides of the family would force them to reconcile for the sake of the child.
3. If he files for custody, law might be on her side but in the current situation, money is on his side. So for her, there is no guarantee that Abhir would remain with her. His family and he himself have already accused her and branded her as a killer. What's to say they would use that to declare her as an incompetent mother? Where would that leave Abhir? Away from the only known security and family and parents he's known all his life and amidst the Gorillas? Would any mother want that?
4. If she gives in to the pressure and reunite for the sake of the child, would Abhir be happy being away from Abhinav? WOuld Abhimanyu acccept Abhinav a permanent part of Abhir's life and Abhir calling that man "papa"? And above all, if in future, situation arises where there's another round of blame game and she is kicked out again, where would her son be? What impact would it have on him?
Heart of hearts, she knows hiding the truth is wrong but the fear that takes over a person when she contemplates any of the above scenarios clouds the judgement.
Bottomline - Lack of trust and fear.
Thanks for reading :)
Suvika.
