Thank you all and a special thank you to Akshay Dogra for reading and appreciating the post!Folks I want you to know that I do not excuse Akaash's behavior. However, I do want to try and understand what tips him to behave in that manner. IMO it is not the desire for evil as much as the desire to attract attention to the inner wounds that are gnawing his soul.Yash went on with his grief over Arpita's death for over 4 years. Akaash has suffered unjustly and enormously over 31 years and continues to do so at the hands of SP who rejects him and Radha who does not feel the need to apologize to him.
A mother gives unconditional love that teaches discipline. G3 failed in her role by not infusing discipline in her love towards Akaash. G3 also failed to integrate Akaash within the family - worse still G3 used him to get even with SP and Radha.So, Akaash's trials are not yet over. Akaash needs a loving hand, a loving hug, understanding and someone with the fortitude and patience to break the wall of resistance he has built. Even a small fraction of love, understanding and patience would make Akaash crumble and want to turn a new leaf!
