For a mother, her child will always be her priority and personally I think that it is right to put your child as your first priority. Besides Akshara got there didn't she? Yes I know Gayu went through a lot of stress but if she'd just had a little faith and trust in Akshara, she wouldn't have had to go through it. There was no one else there to help Naira, and Naira was panicking. What was Akshara supposed to do? Leav her in a helpless state with a ripped dupatta?
Naira's needs could have been fulfilled from any family member - she getting ready properlyBut Akshara was Gayu's show stopper - she should have reached there on time - that should have been her priority ...But she let her motherly feelings came in - that is the truth
