Dr. Abhimanyu Birla is one of the most reputable surgeons working in his family-owned hospital. Though lives in a joint family unit, he is the closest to his mother. He displays a lot of animosity and bitterness towards his father and is often seen rebelling him in whichever way he can. When his anger reaches a peak, Abhimanyu tends to isolate himself and uses music as a coping mechanism.
It is because of his connection to music that he gravitates towards Akshara's singing. Though she might have been a faceless voice acting as a soothing balm to his quivering soul, Akshara soon became a force of power that changed his whole perspective on life. His earlier attitude of marriages being sufferable and pure love existing only between a mother and a child was drastically altered. With Akshara's arrival, he wished for someone to love him unconditionally, loosened up from his uptight ways and finally began seeking pleasures of his own, rather than keeping his head buried in work.
Whether it's in the professional space or in his personal, Abhimanyu is a confident and principled man. It may be difficult to make him budge, but he is still a man who remains well within limits and respects the boundaries that others establish.
Akshara Goenka is a highly empathic woman who lives and loves her family with every fibre of her being. Though she was orphaned at a young age, she has been cared for by her paternal grandparents and uncle. She has grown up with one older brother, an older cousin and a younger sister. The biggest contention in her life is her rocky relationship with her younger sister, Arohi Goenka, as she blames Akshara for their mother, Sirat's, death.
Like her maternal grandmother, whom she is named after, Akshara has the gift of singing and has taken a keen interest in becoming a musical therapist. She has given an interview at an NGO that is run by Dr. Mahima Birla to work as a social worker. She also uses her singing abilities as a coping mechanism for when she gets her anxiety/panic attacks.
During a trip to Gopi Mask Festival, Akshara meets Abhimanyu for the first time and instantly forms a soulful connection with him. She responds to his flirtations with her own and develops strong feelings for him. However, when she learns Arohi loves him as well, she chooses to sacrifice her love for her sister's happiness. She also hopes that by doing so, her relationship with her sister would get better. However, the opposite happens as Abhimanyu stands firm on his feelings for Akshara and refuses to acknowledge Arohi beyond a professional capacity.
Akshara is often depicted as being the sacrificial woman who would do anything for her family. However, she is far from being a doormat. She assesses the situation around her and responds in a way that she feels is the best solution for everyone involved. For instance, to preserve the peace and sanctity within her home, she had left her family for three years. For her, the peace and happiness of her loved ones matter the most and she's willing to go to any lengths to maintain them.
