Abhira isn't perfect which is great cause it makes her realistic. Mukti had a carefree life who has anxiety issue and possible memory loss. The girl lay all the reasons why she brought the speakers, even if her intentions was good, Ab didn't accept how she went about getting the speakers.

On top of that i feel Sarah is a very natural actor and has a great chemistry with sam which is why it is easier for people to feel for mukti's anxiety, her love for her maa and even her tigdams and naughtiness. I have seen her since Radha Mohan days when she initially played brat Gungun and she was damn convincing.

Abhira knows how to pamper and correct Mukti and armaan only knows to pamper maira

He told her to say sorry to the waiter but looking at maira,I feel poddars and armaan are coddling her and its wrong for her development

The thing is that all Armaan has to do is leave Maher in mandap or abuse her and forgive Abhira, tell Maira to choose Abhira for it all to end

It is Abhira who has to work hard to win forgiveness of Armaan and win Maira's heart, prove that she loves Maira more than Vani

In all this, she will hurt Vani, the only victim of this whole ordeal

Maira is FL of next gen, they will correct her

Akshu didn't spend a day with Naira, was raised by Seerat but did she miss or say a single good thing about Seerat? No, she always spoke to or about Naira

Upbringing, behavior etc. is only for this track, none of it would matter

When last leap started Abhira was shown suffering from similar abandonment issue and trauma as Maira is suffering now ( not talking about the coping mechanisms because that's completely different).. She had triggers when hearing Armaan's name and Kaveri/ Vidya made it a point not to take his name in front of her for all those years.. In fact there was a scene when Vidya takes his name accidentally and Kaveri schooled her saying exact same thing that Armaan is saying now.. Don't mention whats triggering.. That was for Abhira an adult and now it's Maira who is still a teen..

Coming to matter of therapy, how's it assumed that Armaan is not taking professional help.. There is no guarantee that just because Maira is having medical help, things would get resolved, it could take time.. Today there was a scene where Armaan asked her to do her eye exercises which could be prescribed.

Maira is over pampered I absolutely agree. But wasn't Armaan shown asking her to say sorry to the waiter in front of everyone for her mistake. He had a promise from her not to repeat the pranks at school, nowhere he tried to side with her even today and said she was wrong.. Neither did he try to use his money or power to influence or force any of the schools when tried.. So it's not as if he is supporting Maira and not correcting her..

All said and done, Maira is still suffering and being expelled from 10 schools is a huge issue...And don't think it would heal easily, inspite of whatever efforts Armaan take.. Just like on other side inspite of Abhira's continuous efforts, we see Mukti continuously suffering from low self confidence ( today's scene when she is anxiously double - triple checking scholarship list ) or her lying for Abhira's happiness though Ab has told her it is wrong..

P.S... On edt after ages

After watching the last two episodes, I feel that the girl playing Maira is acting very badly. What were those expressions she was giving while describing her trauma? Even today, her acting seemed so stiff and haphazard. Earlier, I thought it was because of my dislike for Maira that I was feeling this way, but then I remembered that I never found Urva's acting bad, also i have watched few episodes of Mangal lakshmi as well and their too i did not find her acting convincing, so maybe I am right about Arshiya's acting. What do you think?

Yeah even I felt that , much of my disconnect with Maira comes from the actress not being able to express herself well . I feel bad for maira's character but the actress doesn't help much . She is very talented dancer tho , i hope that she improves with time.

Yeah she really convincing as playing preteen Gunjun that made it easy for audience to accept her. Reeza was too cute and loved as little Gunjun. Both girls are doing well in their respective roles as Mukti & Maira

Abhira had issues as adult watching her mother get murder and later abandonment. I don't want to compare their issues or minimize Maira issues, my problem is with the adults around the child. Madhav said they should've dealt with it when Maira was 7 but they didn't from what they showing and the issues is now bigger. Being expelled from 1 school is bad enough,10 should be a crime. So Ar going around and just blaming Abhira and not taking accountability is my problem. Now no school will take Maira what will he do now blackmail or bribe but how is that helping Maira with her inner issues or guarantee issues that got Miara expelled won't happen again. I think Maira should be home school until they really deal with the problem

Over pamper children can have manners, it's not like Maira is going around acting entitle or spoil brat. My issue is over compensation, is unnecessary it. It wasn't fine when he took Maira, and had eating anything she want like ice cream for breakfast or close up tv watch but it was understandable cause it was just him, before G2 came in the picture. Now he has a big family with him, to help if he'll listen.

We can only go by what is shown so far, medical may not be the only solution, and I saw the eye exercise but not communicating and dealing isn't resolving it. Ar said if Maira had issues she could talk to him, is he serious. I mean how, he's mad at Ab and don't want to hear her name. Maira was a child and was angry, but anger fade but if the adults not letting go or dealing how can the child. And we know Maira is very protective of Ar feelings.

Armaan failed to raise maira well from start

His debacle of running away with maira caused a 7 year old to develop abandonment issues

Armaan is the one who created a weak bond between maira and ab

Abhira had her mum till 22 and her trauma was way more as she went thru a lot of things at 22-23

Still birth,taunts about infertility,abandonment.

Armaan should have made maira acknowledge her mom .

Kaveri is the only one who can reform maira.She is a trooper

Vani has anxiety issues and low self esteem and her self esteem issue is common among teens.Not saying she is best and better than maira

But she is okay.She and abhira are tackling this.Also maira was very okay in first scene when she was in store with Vidya

Why is she acting like this in school and targeting teachers?is there a trigger?

Maira needs mental help and family help

Madhav and kaveri are the most capable people to help maira

Armaan needs to step down once

I agree that Armaan was quite defensive of his parenting today.. And that will not help

But I don't agree about the family part.. If that family had stepped up even a bit when needed, situation would not be what it is today.. Kaveri and Madhav are anyways not listening to what Armaan says, so why don't they help? ( liked Kv Maira scene btw).. Armaan literally had a dialogue today that when Maira is having a low day, all the Poddars raise their hands up and he is left to handle Maira all alone..

Madhav's tirade against Armaan seemed to be for asking/ letting Abhira leave or not searching for her ( not sure what will be the fb scene) . It was about Armaan not able to fill the mother's void in Maira's life ( of course he can't) .. But other than blaming him mostly for the pre- leap event,I didn't hear him offer any solution or help.. And even for pre leap event him acting all righteous is kind of hypocritical seeing how he was a mute spectator as mostly always..
