did aakash change?

oh guys aakash got beaten up by the goons which happened to be his friends they took all the money from him well the brave aarti saved him and after that aakash asked for forgiveness from aarti and aarti will accept his forgiveness when he goes home with her so they came home and aakash completely ignored ishita and he went and asked for forgiveness from papa scindia. i want to know guys is this forgiveness one of his tricks? did ishita ask him to put on a act when she called aakash before the attack on him? what do you guys? comments plz.

Interestingly, we dont know if these goons are also influenced by ishita even if they are friends of A but in friday epi it looks as A is repentant
