I am really curious and probably may not believe (or even be able to read) lot of responses.
Still wondering of a few scenarios.. I will never agree that amount of hate fictional character gets and obsession of people with hating her just stems from character herself but mostly because of her history...
Scenario 1: keep it simple
Assume ManRa would have married, they would have a child who became FL of the show... Would Chuhi still get so much of support?
Scenario 2- Like Abhir - Like Abhira...
Baby would have been AkshNav's child by birth but would have been bought up for say 10 years this time by ManRa... And she would have actually called Trashmanyu her papa, and not spoken much about Abhinav at all... Would she still be hated?
Scenario 3 - undo Gen 2
Here we completely write of Chuhi... This is also for AkshNav fans... Had there be two daughters one with Abhinav and after his death, Akshu married and moved on with Trashmanyu... Had a daughter.. BUT..
Twist here is that ManRa bought up Abhira together, their parvarish, and their daughter as soul for let's say 5-10 years ... And Akshara would have been pregnant again with ManRa kid and before she was out in the world her Dad died and mom died during birth... So, she had legit bought up as an orphan cuz well Birlas were on road after Parth's scam...
But you know Manra would be FL and not AkshNav wali Abhira... Cuz you know na.. Rule book says Child of *Leads* is FL.
Scenario 4: Changed scenario
Abhir was indeed Abhira (Girl Child) who was bought up by Akshnav. And after years Akshnavi was born after death of Abhinav.
Abhira was lost after tragic lanslide and grew up on her own.
ManRa raised Akshnavi for 6 years and she was their parvarish.
Basically Biological Swap:
Akshnavi Birla and Abhira Sharma..
And who would have been lead and loved more?
