My anger towards Abhi actually stems from his dependence on his mom. Everytime he lost his mind and hurt Akshu was bcoz of Manjari. She faints he goes crazy. She keeps sleeping in her five star hospital while Akshara faces the repercussions of his anger and aftermath! That woman destroyed so many lives! Unintentionally? Yes! But destroyed? Also yes! She is herself a victim of domestic violence and is not at all fit for parenting. Mahima might be a dominant, competitive, career oriented, stubborn woman, but she was a necessary evil. If not atleast she would’ve been absent! Absent mother who is out pursuing her dreams is better than a mother who is so dependent on the kids that she manipulates their behaviour without realising it!
Parth was coddled so much that he never learned to handle pressure or professional responsibilities. He struggles with it and takes out his anger and frustration of incompetence on his wife. Doesn’t care about his son.
Anisha was indeed pressured by Mahima. But Manjari was never strong enough to guide a rebellious girl. She is suicidal and manipulates everyone around to get her way. Mahima’s strong attitude was necessary with her. Result - ended up dead as she couldn’t control anything.
Neil’s entire life was a lie! The only blood relative hates him! Was constantly reminded of being an orphan. Abused by Papa Birla and Manjari wasn’t strong enough to stop him. She also wasn’t ready to face the ugly truth of the extramarital affair that was staring in her face every waking moment! Result - He fell for the first girl who showed him love!
Now Abhi! The forever protector of his mother! He is so busy protecting her, he forgot to teach her how to stand up for herself. He should’ve shown her the mirror. Instead he festered his anger and it bursts every time something happens to her. The biggest victim of it is Akshara and their relation! Result - ruined his life!
Nishta had the better end of the stick! She had her siblings to look out for her! The elders were not as attentive to her. By the time she grew up all had busy lives, married with their own problems and she became independent. She is afraid to put her pov but is still better off!
Now Manjari’s new obsession is Arohi and Ruhi. She is completely controlling Abhi using Neil’s death and the promise Abhi made. What mother wants her son she loves so much to be tied down to his brother’s wife just to fulfil a promise? No mother would do that! If she really wants Abhi to move on she would give him space to grieve and time away from responsibilities to gather himself. Not push him into so many responsibilities when he couldn’t get over the death of his brother and his two unborn children. He couldn’t even mourn them wholeheartedly. She is so dependent on him emotionally that she continuously uses the same against him! Every time she faints he f*cked up! Abhi couldn’t say Akshara’s name out loud for six years! While she kept talking and taunting about her to every other person indirectly! The first time he took her name was after he got drunk with Abhinav and called him chor for stealing his life, his dreams, his “Akshara”! Any person who still supports Manjari after this giving the excuse of mother’s love, I will drag their ass in keechad!
