Akshu and Abhi are both changing each other in so many ways... yesterday, for the first time, we saw Abhi speak so softly with his father. He was stern, but also level-headed. He told Akshu he understands where Bade Papa is coming from, and anyone in his position would feel the same. The man who never bends before anyone, folded his hands before the grandfather of the love of his life. As Akshu was being dragged away, instead of creating a scene, he smiled to himself, knowing that they were inseparable. We are also seeing his softer side towards his entire family... there was concern in his eyes when his father was about to faint after the mandir drama. His childish side is pouring out with Akshu, because he was never allowed to be a child. Witnessing the constant fights between his parents, feeling like he always had to protect his mother, growing up in a toxic household even though he was the center of everyone's eyes....being so surrounded by people, yet being so lonely... with Akshu, he finally feels safe and stable and loved enough to let out all the parts of himself that he had to kill and put deep within himself so long ago.... and he does not even have to try to find those parts...they flow out naturally... in fact so naturally, that he, himself, is surprised.
And with Akshu, she has never stood up for herself in her entire life. She only knew how to sacrifice for other’s happiness up until now. But, we are seeing a strong determination and courage within her now. She has something that is worth fighting for, and she won’t give it up any under circumstances. Like she said yesterday, before she only had music, but now she has Abhi too. It was such a beautiful reference to the beginning episodes where she told Abhi that for her, love is music…. He is her music too now.
Both of them still have a long way to go, and their essence will forever remain too. That is what love is. It changes you for the better, but also enhances who you are at the core…
