Her current husband had high standards because he had not other responsibility, he did not have balance his professional responsibilities and family responsibilities of an extended family.
Birla house is toxic place to raise abhir but not Ruhi? It was the same place where a gem like Neil was raised.
Abhi will not be pale in comarison because there is no comparison.
Thank you but no thank you, no one wants AK to be anywhere near Abhi, she is a selfish, inconsiderate and deceiving person
Abhinav has not done any favors to anyone, he was a lonely guy who got a ready made family. Unfortunately he met AK who only used him for her own selfish reasons.
Thanks for sharing your perspective. I appreciate you putting your thoughts out here. :)
Arohi the ever practical one should move out of that house in the long run because of Ruhi's future, she shouldn't stay there (not just because of her grandmother but all the other crazy things going on there with Parth, etc. too). Abhim and Manjri failed Arohi in their promises of marriage and all the mess that surrounded. She was delusional at first but I loved it when they showed her finally understanding that there was no future and that she could retain her dignity by choosing to focus on Ruhi, rather than expecting anything from Abhim. She's actually shown some character growth, even though it doesn't excuse all the bad things she did in the past.
Abhinav being an orphan is not his fault. He had no blueprint of how to be a husband or father but was basically a good person so he did his best. He had been so used to a lonely life that Akshara and Abhir just completed him the way he had always wanted a family to. I am glad they showed some of his flaws but he was basically meant to be a good character with a strong moral compass who was there to set the foundation for Abhir (plus Akshara's grown and change of attitude in life). Consider it a transit stop.
As for high standards, I mentioned it from Akshara's perspective because this is how she explained it as well to Abhim. So for her to move on from Abhinav's love is going to be very very hard because he's always been good to her. It may not have been the kind of 'shiddat waala' pyaar she got from Abhim in the past but it's the sukoon waala pyaar that helped her stabilize and become stronger. Marriage of convenience is never a bad thing, she's not obligated to be in love with her husband and she and Abhinav were very clear about their dynamics, hence the term convenience. In the end she did fall for Abhinav but there was always a chance that it may never have happened. I see nothing wrong in that arrangement per se because she was at least at peace there. Also, the way Akshara saw Abhinav look after a newly born Abhir made her see the father in him for her son. In that moment it was not about hiding his identity because they had already tried to talk to Abhim and he didn't listen to them.
Neil was a good soul but when the truth of his father came out, he felt messed up too and it affected his mental health, which is not a surprise. Manjri did the same thing as Akshara by hiding his father's identity from him and Harsh for years and years. At least Akshara tried a couple of times to tell Abhir.
I don't agree with her not telling her own family about Abhir, though. They did deserve to know and they would have protected her and her kid. I see her more as being self-centered than selfish but that's a pendulum reaction from someone who tried to be too helpful and accommodating and got trampled over in the past. She's made mistakes but her intentions have never been evil or mean. The Akshara 2.0 does stand up for herself way better and is clear about what she does and doesn't want but she hasn't lost her soft touch, which we've been seeing recently. I do think they could have tried to let the Birlas know about Abhir a few months later even if Abhim didn't want to hear about the kid when Akshara was still pregnant. One thing, though. Her fear of Abhir not getting the right values if he grows up at the Birlas was justified because she had such a bad experience there. It's a different matter that as a biological father Abhim has some legal rights on him and that's something she wanted to avoid - it's the impractical side of her and she knows she can't look the other way when it comes to this point. I actually liked that they showed some of this tug of war between the parents because it happens a lot in real life after divorce, but here they called a truce because of Abhir. No idea for how long.
I don't know if they are prepping for a generation leap but I do hope they don't have another runaway child and grandchild arc for them.
