The call wasn't necessary at all. It provided nothing to story.
Honestly, it looks like the makers are obsessed with trying establish parallels between Abhi-Manjiri's bond with Akshara-Abhir's nonexistent bond. Makers ruined the only genuine non-toxic relationship on the show because Abhi-Abhir worked so naturally and effortlessly.
This video call from Abhir sounds so bizarre
.....again mainly cuz in one breath Ak claims Abhi is Abhir's father but in next breath, same Abhir video calls Abhi and advices him like he's advising some general classmate from school
. Which 6 year old who supposedly loves someone gives such generic advice? A child that small only wants to give and receive love....woh aise life and relationship advice nahin deta....and again, everything is forcibly connected to maa-beta parallels rather than Abhir ever interacting with Abhi as a father unless koi school ka kaam ho ya rescue chahiye

This is why the disconnect with Abhir also keeps growing....execution as usual is a mess. Ak and Abhir having these generic kind of scenes with Abhi rather than making the effort to add more emotional weight to these bonds that already have existed organically before....now it's like forced formal talks....mehh
