Walking on Parallel Roads

Yaaro 🤗today i'm gonna be telling you guys how i screamed my lungs out😳

i was watching the episode alone in my room, lights were off and had my headphones on with high volume and out of no where :

Matlab, amid the mithi si Akshu ki rone ki awaz mein koi AISE "Aww" kiya, that i feel like i will never be able to take "Aww" normally ever again! matlab kabhi maine socha bhi nahi tha ki ek "Aww" se kabhi mera rooh ka parinda pharpharayegi😲

and then arohi goes on to sarcastically tell akshu that "There is no fault of yours" and cups her face

bro believe it or not but I thought she raised her hands to strangle her right there🤣

Seriously guys, if you ever see me not posting or being active on IF after the episode - it might very well be because I would be dead from a cardiac arrest caused by none other than our angel Arohi😈

And Arohi's dialogues man🤣

"when you know he is a DOCTOR and suitable only for ME, why were you impressing him with your songs then?"

me:

"Your stage fear just vanished in front of abhimanyu and you sang in front of everyone - that too his mom;s fav song - Piya tose!!"🤣

moi:

"ab samaj aya mujhe - ke woh kaun piya tha aur wo kiske nain the"

me:

"you must have done something - otherwise i don't see how a doctor can harbor feelings for an average girl like you"

"Mein sabko mithai batungi, nachungi main bole churiya pe , hum methi dana ka theme bhi rakh sakte hai,

🤣🤣🤣🤣 matlab, I couldn't stop laughing at her dialogues today.

Okay I will be serious now, sorry. This might sound extremely ridiculous right now but I can actually see where Arohi is coming from. It's all in her head. She had been insecure since childhood and then since then the smallest of inconveniences caused akshara would invade a huge part of her brain and this had happened for 15 years? All the negative thoughts kept piling up in her head and never left. and no one ever bothered to clear the mess between them. So with years, it continued to deteriorated until today when the last thread the sisters were holding onto just ripped.

I understand all of your (including mine) hatred towards Arohi - her rudeness, disrespectfulness, selfishness - everything just made her a vamp in our heads already. But How else could she have reacted when she had SO many years of bitterness and insecurity about her sister. YET she tried to make akshu a part of her happiness. what was the need? she could have easily asked her to stay out of it right? but she still let her do the arrangement, shared her joy, hugged her, thanked her, called her 'akshu'. Yes, it was "convenient" for her to do so because the ball was on her court but still she could have avoided it altogether.

And so when everything was finally falling into place, when she was starting to trust this relationship again, something so horrible happened, giving her another reason to blame her sister and go back to square 1 - I honestly feel that the way she reacted today was completely justified. No I don't support her blaming akshu like that but I do understand where she is coming from too. The tears she shed today and the fire she spit was not because she wanted attention or defeat Akshu in this too and get all the fmaily's sympathy. She was truly heartbroken. I think Karishma did an outstanding job pulling off all those emotions today

Anyway enough about Arohi - I know you guys probably already stopped reading this post from the bakbak I have been on about probably one of the most hated characters😆 but just wanted to share my thoughts too :)

Okay moving on, I absolutely LOVED Kairav today. Probably for the first time I really saw the father figure he is in the two sisters' life. And I love how Arohi (and ofc Akshu) respects him. Today Kairav shouted at Arohi, taking Akshara's side and she stayed silent. She was definitely hurt but she didn't utter another word after that. If she didn't have enough love and respect for her elder brother, she would have definitely kept on spitting venoms going by how uncontrollable Arohi was today.

Kairav looked like he missed Naira and Kartik for the first time today - he looked so defeated and helpless seeing Akshara break down like that and immediately pulled her into a hug and whispered sweet nothings while stroking her back

"Bass beta bass"

Today He looked like he really does hold a huge place in these two sisters' lives. The helplessness in his face spoke volumes today. The burden he probably felt for not being able do anything, pick a side, solve the matter while keeping BOTH his sisters happy was so pulpable 10/10 to kairav today.

Also while Akshu find solace in his brother's cocoon, Arohi was pacified by Akhilesh

These two are SO loved by their family. I love how there had never been any discrimination - There is always someone to be there with both the sisters. it was never about giving comfort to just one. The immense love, care and protection was so beautiful to see.

While these two always have someone to have their back, the sheer contrast in Abhimanyu's life is heartbreaking. He had been through a rough phase not few hours ago and there was not a single person who could really console that poor soul. instead, his mom was shedding tears and looked like she had been through a heartbreak and not abhi, his so called father kept thinking about their family's reputation instead of sitting with his son and talking through the matter to come up with a solution, and his taiji and mahima were busy blaming manjari instead of being the support system to abhi at such a crucial time - talk about a dysfunctional family.

Anyway, but It would be interesting to see how Akshu brings some harmony to Abhi's life while he teaches akshu to properly live life. I am looking forward to see how their love story (and i mean ACTUAL love story) builds up and what becomes the foundation to their bond.

Overall, I would say, A very well- thought-out and outstandingly executed episode

P.S. Sorry no Abhi or Akshu analysis lol but these scenes held far more importance today in my opinion :)

Aarohi's Aww be like....

Arohi was just being benevolent to Akshu because everything was going in her favor. Arohi decides to behave well only when she's happy and satisfied. She got the internship and she got Abhi's love (delusional much?) so she decides to include poor Akshu in her happiness. Also, what if Akshu goes and tells Abhi about the way Arohi treats her and the reason for her panic attacks? Can't take that risk right?

So, what's the best thing to do? Just be a little nice to Akshu. Bas! Arohi is extremely cunning and manipulative. The minute things started going against her she gave up the pretense of being nice. This is who she really is.

Even after everything that happened, even after hearing everything directly from Abhi she made up her own story in her head to suit her narrative. As long as Goenkas, especially Akshu continue to treat her like a fragile child, she'll continue to manipulate them. Look at the way she spit venom about how she'll dance on Akshu's wedding, how Akshu should go ahead and get married. Extremely poisonous and venomous.

Thank you for your review. I really liked it.
I have high hopes from the writers.

The sisters dont have parents but are loved and have family with them.

In contrast Abhi has no one to give him the emotional support other than his siblings. The elders in his family are so egoistic.

Akshara with her music was like an oasis for the parched soul. And when he saw her he felt like his dry life got a few drops of soothing syrup. He also saw reflection of his mom.

He is more like a father figure. could also be true coz he is a heart surgeon and that way he has to be atleast 34 in the serial.

Akshara and Arohi are a year apart. so so they must me 24 and 23 respectively. He is like a father figure who will learn to love and live with the love of his life. Love is often instance and intense for a lot of people.

The way Abhi had taken a run and fallen from the stairs on the lakeside showed well that his feeling are extremely intense for Akshara and he wants all of her immediately in his life.

Good review as always mush! But I dont think i would WANT to understand arohi to such depth at this point. I still think her accusations on akshu was just absurd to say the least. But i also see what you ate saying abiut it all being in her head. We dont know how something psychologically affects someone. And it is always very hard to decipher when it is a mental health issue and not physical…arohi acts like she is brainwashed by someone and now there is no turning point. I jusst wish arohi was a little more considerate.

Kairav was amaxing today. His acting was out of the world. He holds so much gravity as he performs. And i totally agree to him feeling defeated yesterday and missing KaiRa😩 and akdhu and kairavs scene melted my heart. I think the first kairav and akshu dcene i really loved.

Oh and abhi again nailed ot yesterday. The way he shushed his mom from breaking down while breaking down himself shows how strong he is from inside and how he is programmed to take it all since childhood. Because you cant just learn to be strong one day. Look at akshu and arohi, they both looked devastated and sctually showed their vulnerable sides to their family, while abhi had to hide his tears from his damily members esp his mom.

Akshara will come to abhis life like a balm to his age long wounds. Filling his life with so much sweetness and balance just like her songs

Precap looked like abhi was mad at akshu😒 god i wont be able to handle abhis narazgi with our akshu

Bro i laughed so much at those gifs haha

OMG Mush, you have the best Gif’s yaar. I totally agree, what a performance by Arohi today. She’s one of those characters you love to hate. I blame the Goenka for what’s happening today in these two girls lives, I don’t think they ever took the time to make Arohi feel less insecure nor did they try to make Akshu feel less alone or guilty (that she has to feel like she needs to sacrifice everything for Arohi’s happiness even her own happiness).

I loved Kairav today too yaar. He’s just super, you can see the struggle, the pain and the way he missed his parents when he was lost in how to fix the problem with these two. But at the same time he knew who was at the wrong and so he told Arohi to stop.

There is so much potential to explore all these relationships and how they’ve to this point and where do they go from here. I just hope aniseed do justice to these characters. The two girls were awesome today.

On the other side I loved how Manjiri spoke up, even Mahima was shocked. And our Abhi, poor guys, is he ever going to get a break. He’s been through hell and back and he comes home to see what, his mother being mistreated again. He had no one to comfort him, tell him it’s ok, we’re their first you, if you’re sure if your love and her love for you, then we support you. But know it was only their reputation and etc that they were concerned about. He couldn’t even find solace in his mom cause he had to protect her like always. He couldn’t show his pain to anyone. The only two who really saw how broken Abhi was were Parth and Neil.

No wonder Abhi fell head over heels in love with Akshu abd so quickly too. The reason he wanted her to give that same love she gave toward her family towards him was because he’s been playing strong for so long, at home and his professional life too and Akshu’s love was what made him feel vulnerable and weak and he likes that change in him. He was able to relax and be normal with her. He didn’t have to have a guard up all the time.

Yeah arohi only started being nice to akshu when abhi started trying to dig for answers from akshu as to why she gets panic attacks and arohi looked nervous as she knew she was the reason akshu has panic attacks, so in the middle of that whole panic attack and abhi trying to get an answer from akshu about why she gets them, arohi came and took over from abhi and started consoling akshu only then to stop akshu from telling abhi. Arohi is clever and she was only being good to akshu from then so that abhi never gets any kind of bad impression of arohi.

Hello Mushfika. Hope you are doing well. I have been a silent spectator in this forum and was following your posts. While i do not understand AbhiRa's so called "love story", I appreciate the breakdown, character analysis and small details and emotions you point out in your posts.

I am commenting on this post because it doesn't have AbhiRa😆 I like your unbiased view on Arohi. The only reason I probably understand arohi's character is because I have had similar experience in my life with someone. obviously she wasn't a villain lol but she did have her differences which brought out a totally different side of her with me.

So far they haven't tried to make Arohi a villain in the show which i'm actually grateful for. I do feel like the essence of the original YRKKH (the original Akshara and naitik) was run with absolutely NO villain for several years and it felt like I was watching something realistic. Same goes for This generation. Arohi doesn't necessarily need to be a villain to cause problems in the show. Her insecurities and her differences could be a problem on its own. I feel like this would give so much more "realism" to the character as well as YRKKH as a whole.

Yes, I have liked kairav from the first day but today he stole the spotlight. I might have built a crush on Kairav too☺️

Keep posting such reviews. I might not agree with all of them but i do look forward to them because they are of great insights🤗
