However, I don't understand how she is wrong for not wanting her son to be accused of a murder that he didn't commit. Is she supposed to declare Abhi a murderer without any proof too? What's wrong in her wanting to keep the children out of this traumatic situation? Makers have shown Akshara constantly dragging both children into her mess and then use them as shields.
The reaction at her prioritizing her son when that's all Akshara has done since the beginning of the show is odd. Pre-leap only the Goenkas' emotions, opinions, and feelings mattered. Post-leap it was Abhinav and the random neighbor family that appeared with him. Abhir wasn't even an priority for her until Abhi found about his existence lol.
Both Manjiri and Akshara have the same toxic abusive traits. Right now, the makers are showing that one involves children and the other doesn't.
