@ bold: I will disagree with you. Sometimes one incident in your life impacts you so much that you change forever. Abhimanyu was the only person in Akshara's life who promised to put her first, who showed her how it feels to be caught when you are falling, who promised her repeatedly that he will always protect her and be in her corner. He was her world, she sacrificed her identity (her voice) for him because she saw herself as a part of him. He was her safe harbor, her shelter, someone she could be herself with, he became her world. She had no one before him. She had a family but that family never looked out for her or even put her first. Even with her older brother, she played mom a lot of the times. Abhimanyu was not only her lover and husband he also filled in all the other vacant roles in her life. In him she saw everything and all the love she had missed out in life. He gave her the confidence that no matter what he would support her. That one day he broke her, he broke her heart, he broke her illusions, her confidence in love and destroyed the basic person that she was. He made her believe that she did not deserve love or protection. The only person she opened up to was Abhimanyu and she has locked herself in again. She is not herself with anyone anymore. Which is why after Abhir's surgery she ran to be by herself so she could let out her emotions without anyone around. Abhimanyu did not change as much because before Akshara and even after he threw her out he always had his mother who put him and his needs first. Also, until the first UD visit they showed that although Akshara had buried it, she still loved Abhimanyu. After that the intensity of her own reaction to Abhimanyu scared her and she did not want to lose that one thing that she saw as security - Abhinav which is why she put on blinders after that. She will not trust anything Abhimanyu says because he showed her dreams and a world of love that he cruelly snatched away from her forever and she will never believe in it again
