Honestly, I didn't have as much of an issue with the two min love story. That's love at first sight and I prefer those stories to the friends to lovers or enemies to lovers trope so popular in ITV. But the thing is that their families are quick to judge them and blame them when they themselves are only trying to do right by their family.
Think about it, everytime either one of them has opposed the other to help their family members it's backfired. And then the same family just ends up blaming them instead of taking responsibility in their mess.
There is a huge lack of understanding yes, but to me that is not Abhira's fault. They were never given the time or space to sort things out. They were never given that space in the family that it's ok, we don't want you to take sides here, you manage your own relationship first. Just look at how Muskaan and Kairav's relationship is. It's sooo much worse than Abhira's ever was, but still they remain together cause the Goenkas take care of that. They don't let their issues turn that huge. Manish stops Kairav from going too far. The rest of the family maybe upset with Muskaan but no one wants her to leave. That is what Abhira needed. They needed their families to support them. To stop them from going too far. To take up responsibility when they failed etc.
I have several examples of that! I won't go into before marriage. But first leap, we all know what Mahima did, but when she was blamed she conveniently said issue was in Abhira trust. Except before that she herself was telling Abhi that he has to choose family and he can't always choose Ak and all. They themselves were instigating and telling Abhi to cut off Ak and stand with his family. But after everything was over, it's Abhira's fault. During that reunion, Manjari is the one who brought Arohi into that house, who then instigated Manjari against Ak and it became such a cycle that by the time Neil's death happened, Manjari already had no faith in Ak which is why she blamed her. But she also blamed Abhi. She put everything on him and he was just trying to keep everyone afloat. Ak didn't help with that, and then he divorced her in anger. Fine tragedy can make people do crazy things. But what did their families do? Did Manjari or anyone tell Abhi no this is wrong go bring her back first? BP himself misrepresented info to both of them and now it's again on how they were bad at it.
Their families were wholly responsible for what happened during both the times. Their reactions weren't in vacuum, but we're heavily influenced by these families who they loved and these people who claimed to love them, have always had ridiculous expectations from them and then also blamed them for everything.
