Adding a point here on where I come from when I say Ak should apologise.
One of thing I learned after a lot of processing, reading and therapy is that blaming others is not part of holistic healing. Healing in a toxic culture is about breaking the cycle and taking accountability.
That taking accountability part is missing from Akshara's end. Honestly it's a show so the screen time doesn't matter cause by this logic Abhira divorce scene is hardly 4-5 minutes but everything that follows is the impact of those 5 minutes.
By saying sorry Akshara is not saying hey i killed Neil I am sorry.
She needs to do that now cause at least now her son is living in that house. For herself, for her son for the people she called her family once of a time it's important to acknowledge what happened.
She never took a stand against Aarohi never said Aarohi Seerat Maa ko maine nahi maara. I lost a mother too.
The cycle needs to end, her way of dealing with trauma needs to change.
We can't except others to grow and change their generational pattern. Let the Birlas' deal with it but your son is a part of that family and he should look up to you. When people say tell him about what Abhi did. Tell him at that moment he should be proud of his mother that she wasn't responsible but look at her taking accountability. What about you Dida?
But at the moment Akshara lacks that accountability and I can't relate to her anymore.
I would also like to add that the cause of trauma for Akshara can be Aarohi, Manjari and AbhiM but how she behaves now, her projecting anger towards AbhiM, demeaning him that's on her.
