I did'nt find Meenakshi -Akshat story really happening it was more pushed in for dramatization for the gathering of the TRP for the show ... The angles developed were more inclined to how individual seek assurance & comfort in each other .. Meenakshi befriended Akshat more and more as the turn of evenets took place & a moment came when she realized why she was in the academy, these kinda feelings were more superfical and would see a closure somewhere...as when dynamics such as aim reasons come into picture practicality of those understanding surpass the actual thoughts why we are at a position & what makes us do it..
Thats what I saw in these angles between them..
Coming to Meenakshi's feelings untold a lot of time verbal side of a realitionship of expressions is given more weightage or say something expressions what one holds in ones heart... DC realzation was grwoing somewhere when he ignited the flame in Meenakshi it may have established long before the path was etched... The last scene when he comes & stands and she turns around there is a pause & her advancement towards him proves that she is going to follow his journey the joueny which he has totally been destroyed but now they will collect the pieces together & build a path of lotus petals...
Such was her side the song the recollection the day one when they met, the way he choose her to be the one for the crown, These were the actual journey she saw with him, the rest was more like passerby, SO with untold things as a viewer one is left to analyse that teh feelings from Meenakshi was her journey with DC through the jungle to emerge his LOTUS for now & forever...
Each one will have their on POV to understand now is the begining for DC's actual story the Dev chopra -Meenakshi journey , yes it was left hangng what to do we are the victums of this TRP scandal & their axing a novel show
