After Naitik's wonderful birthday surprise for me, I was shocked to know that the family too had planned something special for me. I really felt bad that due to Naitik's surprise they had to forgo their plans. So I requested Naitik to take me back home to celebrate with our family.
Everyone was so surprised to see us back at home sooner than expected and their reaction thrilled me. I had a memorable celebration with the family and felt lucky to have a dual celebration, one with Naitik and the other one with the entire family. However, there was another surprise waiting me, which I had really not expected; I caught Rashmi wearing an engagement ring! Rashmi revealed to me that Nikhil had gifted her the ring and that the family was unaware of it. I was shocked to react but I advised her to remove the ring. I knew she felt bad while removing the ring but I thought it was the only sensible option as the family would be upset if they found out about it.
I informed Naitik and he too was upset to hear about the ring. We decided to tell Gayatri Ma but unfortunately it was not meant to be. She spotted the ring on Rashmi hand and all hell broke loose. Gayatri Ma was furious and informed Dadaji and others about the same. Quite unexpectedly, she held me responsible for hiding things from them. I was hurt but chose not to react.
On one hand, I understood Gayatri Ma and Dadaji's situation as they are only thinking of Rashmi's wellbeing. I also understood Rashmi's situation as even Naitik wanted to meet me before our wedding. I used to feel so bad every time I refused him as I knew he would be hurt and upset. Rashmi too must have felt that Nikhil would be upset if she refused to accept the ring.
However, the worst incident this week was when I lost control over my emotions and snapped at Gayatri Ma. It started with a discussion about the kind of blouses that Rashmi should wear for her wedding. Rashmi wanted simple ones so that she can use them after the wedding as well, I agreed with her as my heavy and fancy ones are lying useless in the cupboard. Gayatri Ma disagreed and argued that Rashmi should wear rich and heavy ones as she is getting married into a rich family and that we should match their standards. Somehow, I ended up getting blamed yet again, this time for influencing Rashmi and supporting her even though she is wrong. I could not control my temper this time as I was really hurt, and questioned Gayatri Ma as to why am I being blamed for everything in the house even if it is not my fault?
There have been so many instances in the past when I was wrongfully blamed; like when the family found out that I knew about Nandini and Mohit's relationship, they had blamed me for hiding important things from them. Then when Nandini had a tiff with Mohit and had returned home, Naitik and I had tried to play cupid by getting them to meet at the mandir and sort out their issues. I was again blamed for encouraging them to meet without the knowledge of the family. Yet another instance where I was blamed for no fault of mine was when Naitik had booked a bungalow but everyone blamed me for trying to divide the family by wanting to live separately.
Maybe the way I reacted this time was not right, but I had to defend my ideals! I, too, am a human being and feel hurt when I am held guilty for no reason. What is your opinion on the issue? Let me know at akshara@starplus.in
Abhigyan Mukherjee- Im very happy to see you react against your mother-in law for the first time ever after your marriage. She always blames you for any wrongs you have done or have not done. You have done something right in the last episode. Ya, this is the big time she should also realize her faults and I know that you will soon beg forgiveness from her. She should understand that you always want better for the family. Akshara, keep it up.This time, I am even more happier, as Naitik took your side.
Akshara-Hi Abhigyan, I did not mean to insult Gayatri Ma but this time I felt that I should speak up for my rights. It is not right to take the blame for each and everything, even if you are not at fault. Yes it felt nice that Naitik understood my situation and stood by my side.
Geeta Tikam- Hi Hina! This is Geeta from Mumbai (Goregaon). Me and my mother watch your serial Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai daily. We even don't miss single episode. I really want to meet you.I like your and Naitiks acting very much. You both are looking together perfect couple. Like your birthday we hope to see your marriage anniversary. Keep good work continued and give my best wishes to Karan also. Please Please reply me. I am waiting for your reply.
Akshara-Hi Geeta and thanks for all the kind words. It is fans like you who encourage us to perform every scene with dedication and enthusiasm. Give my regards to your mom. Keep watching our ahow and keep writing in.
Rashmi Parekh- Hi Akshara,I am a huge huge fan of both you and Naitik and I think you both look terrific together. Akshara, I would really love to see you dress differently. For a long time now you have been wearing the same type of sarees- net with sequins and border, maybe its time to change your wardrobe and try out a different set of sarees. Light Indian silks maybe or the type your mother wears in the show. Even your hair, I think you should try a different hair style. Maybe a loose bun at the nape of your neck, just so that it looks a little different. We are tired of seeing the same style on you for more than a year now. Also Naitik could go in for a style change. When they show you at home, maybe some kurta pyjamas. You look very good in them. Even Varsha needs to change her sarees. The best sarees are worn by Gayatri maa.Please take my advice and ask the design team to look into it. It will give both of you and us some freshness. Love you both and wish you were a real couple instead of a reel one.
Akshara-Thanks for all the advice Rashmi, we will definitely consider it. A new look sounds like an interesting idea. It is nice to know that you love Naitik nad my chemistry in the show, thanks for the lovely compliments.
Karan Malhotra- Hi Akshara. How are you? I think you are very happy after your birthday celebration .Whole family prepared for your birthday party and give you a surprise. It's a very good idea. I was happy when you read my messages carefully and replied to them. I'm very close to this show and I have one question in my mind "kya Rashmi ki marriage Nikhil ke saath hogi?" I m asking because many episodes before Rajshree aunty said that Nikhil is not good for Rashmi and I think that at last this marriage is not possible and all family complain about you .I hope this will never happen if you dislike my point then I m really very sorry for this and I pray for yrkkh to be the no. 1 show in the star plus history. Thanks and bye.
Akshara-Hi Karan- Yes you are right I loved the surprise that everyone planned for me. I love reading messages from my fans so keep writing to me. Everything is going fine between Rashmi and Nikhil right now and I hope it continues to be this way.
