People are arguing 'Nav is the lead becasue FL loved him till the end? They've been married longer than Abhira? And because the next gen's lead is the offspring of 'Nav?
What childish and senseless argument is this?
Season 3 is the journey of Abhi and Akshara. Period. Their characterizations defined their choices, their choices defined their actions, their actions lead the story, their story is what defined the season...
1. They have consistently, through out S3, been mentioned by the makers, story writers, media and the whole industry as the leads of YRKKH S3! They have consistently been on the video-montage leading to the episode. They were the only ones on TV guide, on print and e-media advertisements, Channel - SP's TV and e-promotional content, award ceremonies, telly reporters, and everywhere else online and on TV that you can look, you will find only them as leads! But yeh sab bhi chodo...
2. Now onto the reasons: They had been written as star crossed lovers! They met in the beginning of the season and stayed together till the end of the season. They could never stay totally independent of each other, first Akshu's bracelet always reached Abhi and it never let him forget her whenever they were getting separated, then Akshu had Abhi's hoodie in Mauritius, then Abhi's son was with AK when they got separated, they each had a part of 'them' with each other whenever they drifted apart... even when they tried, they couldn't ever detach and disconnect from each other... destiny wouldn't let them... but at the same time, they couldn't be happy together too! Something or other always came between them, that is why makers never picked one side to be right and show black and white; in any given scenario, neither of them was totally wrong or totally right, they were both gray, almost as if they were played by destiny to create havoc in each other's lives(apart from Aksharaji's IQ i.e.). That is why in spite of having the the best intentions, they always ended up hurting each other! But together or apart, it was still their story!
3. Whoever came between them at any point in their lives, be it Khera and Maya for an year, 'Navji with Akshu for 6 years or Dr.Aarohi coparenting with Abhi for 6 years, there was never anything for the makers to show, elapsed time was shown as a leap, their separated lives were to be just inferred, assumed or suggested to the audience, so that the huge gap in time can facilitate the change in dynamics between Abhi and Akshu when they finally met again! And during those leaps when they were with others, separated from each other, whether they were happy, sad, angry, miserable, mad, bitter or just stoic doesn't actually matter! How they act with each other when they return after the leap and what they did next formed the progression and continuation of the story!
4. They have no story without each other. That is why 'Navji's was in the story till Abhi gave-in to his son's wishes and handed him over to AkshNav. Otherwise, let us just guess what would logically happen next in the story? After that silly resort picnic(Which was just planned to kill off 'Nav), AkshNav would have to go to Kasauli with Abhir and Abhi would live his life in Udaipur, so both'd be separated! Makers did not take that route, because Abhi and Akshu don't exist without each other, their stories have to be intertwined. So 'Nav was killed and Abhi got blamed. Their dynamics changed again to Akshara hating Abhi first and then repenting for accusing him, and so their story continued with new dynamics and challenges.
4. Again during the second Abhira wedding, after all the initial 'No', 'Yes', 'Will you' drama, when everyone finally agreed to the wedding, festivities started but their happiness couldn't last... again.... and they brought in Akshara's pregnancy from the one single night she spent with 'Nav! Again there was change in equation, there were more challenges destined for them... Abhi had still to fight his biggest battle yet, against his mom! and Akshara had to go through choosing between her children and Abhi! Abhi did the most difficult thing in his life, he left his mom for her and they both moved to Ranikhet where after everything he'd been through, finally Abhi's character ended... But the focus did not just move away from him, focus moved from Abhira altogether and the story took a leap to show next generation! Because there is no Akshara's story without Abhi and vice-versa!
5. So from the beginning, whether Abhi was getting engaged to Aaru, Akshu was living with Khera and Maya, Abhi was living in mountains or took sanyaas, Akshu married 'Nav or became sanyaasin, Abhi agreed to wed Dr. Aarohi, whether Akshara fell in love and decided to move on with her husband, Abhi got engaged and then broke it off with Dr. Aarohi, or Akshara loved only her husband till the end... not onne of this really matters! They are all plot points in Abhira's story! Akshara loving 'Nav while getting ready to marry Abhi is shown clearly, but that was not to make 'Nav lead, it is shown as a plot point to show how these 2 characters react to it...
1. How Abhi reacts to a pregnant Akshara wanting to marry him, all the while knowing she doesn't love him.
2. How Akshu deals with her new equation with Abhi, as she knows he still loves her a lot, and she still agreed to the wedding without loving him.
So it is still Abhira's story and concentration was only on their journey and how they pass through the hurdles that destiny arranged in the path they were treading together!
6. Cannot believe people are arguing 'Nav is the ML because the FL loved him till the end of the season! But the story was not about her love anymore, it was about a recently widowed and pregnant woman marrying her estranged ex-husband who is also the father of her 6 year old child, who still loves her to death and how they both deal with their loyalties and feelings!
Season 3 started with Abhira, ended with Abhira and the whole story was written around them! Additional characters, cameos, however important to the story at a particular time, were just plot points to provide momentum to Abhira's story!
P.S: Sincerely thank Harshad for ending his contract! It was very unpleasant for me to just imagine the hypothetical progression of the famously advertised so called 'intense romance and love story of Abhira', so it would've been extremely painful for us to watch it enacted! Thank you HC and PR for saving us, our bache kuche Abhira wale acche yaadein and mainly for saving Akshu's character from getting tainted and disgraced any further than the shallow and hollow reflection of herself she had become since the past few months! God bless you both for that!
