After what Manish said today, we're heading into the 'two houses divided' scenario - Goenkas will not now or in the future have anything to do with the Birlas. And we see Abhira being drawn apart, each going with their family. Shuru hui Romeo aur Juliet waali kahani. But does this even make sense here?
Romeo and Juliet were teenagers, 14 and 15 years old. They were dependent on their families.
But Akshara and Abhimanyu are adults who are earning their own livelihoods. Akshara has already lived on her own for 3 years. Abhimanyu is a top surgeon and, just one episode ago, was ready to leave his family and home. They've already broken a lot of family ties. In Akshara's case, Bade Papa won't even take water from her if he's choking and her sister hates her guts. They were both previously willing to elope.
So, at this point why not cut their losses, tell their unreasonable families to go suck an egg, and just walk off together into the sunset?
Thoughts? How realistic is this separation track likely to be?
