"He didn't know about Akshara's history. He didn't know about her parents' death, her stepmother's accident, the promise she had made to her Sirat Mumma. But they did. Akshara grew up in Arohi's shadow and they allowed it to happen. They claimed to love her, and maybe they did in their own way, but they didn't love her enough. Arohi, in her bitterness and anger spent her entire life belittling his Akshu, pushing her down and making her crave her love. And Akshu, his sweet sweet Akshu, grew up in guilt. Arohi took and took and took from her and Akshu gave her everything. And the Goenkas let this happen. They let Arohi stomp all over his Akshu's precious heart. She grew up conditioned to hide her pain and smile for others. And he blamed the Goenkas for it. He blamed them for her lack of confidence, her fear of Arohi's hatred, her history of panic attacks."
I too hate Goenka's for this
