I believe the intention is for abhi’s behavior to bring out Akshara’s angst and feelingsAt least that’s what the makers want us to think
so even I would think this is the best way for them to achieve thisBecause I think Akshara will need to understand how big of a mistake she is making by letting Aarohi marry abhi
and for that she needs to accept and voice her feelings
Yeah I get that too, but this is just so distasteful and toxic - how can I cheer for Abhira when Abhi is already doing such toxic shit? He's shown how low he will sink when things don't go his way.
There are better and more subtle ways to take the plot where it needs to go for Akshara to feel regret* but you're right, yeh ITV show hai, HBO nahi - they always appeal to the lowest common denominator.
*Someone made a great point on another thread that what is needed for Akshara to understand Abhi's pain at being obligated to marry Arohi to be placed in an arranged marriage herself with someone she doesn't love. Then she will see how difficult it is to hide one's pain when you see yourself spending the rest of your life with someone whom you don't love.
