I love reading all these views! But I agree as soon as Abhimanyu finds out and realizes he will redeem. Manju won’t cause they don’t want to show a mother figure begging for forgiveness!
But you are right the son has to draw the line between mil and dil! And once upon a time akshu was manjus everything! So to me it’s like it was all fake, she entertained it until Abhimanyu was happy, but the moment he was mad or upset with ak, Manju also hated her.
My question is let’s say they were not divorced and Abhimanyu was pissed at ak for something, would Manju support ak and make Abhimanyu understand? Or would she ask ak to be understanding???
I think she would ask Akshu to be understanding. She always bended for Harshvardhan so she will ask Akshu to bend. She did that when Arohi and Neil got married. She told Akshu I know you and your sister have issues. But you have a new relationship in this household. Don't' let your personal fights affect the bond between the brothers. She expected Akshu to just be understanding and let some things go. But Akshu knew her sister and knew what was happening was not right.
For me if anyone destroyed the Birla household it was Arohi. She took everything away the moment she stepped in the house.
