If Aarohi wasn't her sister but Akshara's childhood friend who lost a loved one in an accident involving Akshu (like Kairav's accident with Vansh) and Akshu spent a good chunk of time trying to regain that friendship. If Naira reacts the same way (as she did to Kairav) and Akshu is anything like Naira, who tends to forgo her self-respect to please most relationships (Naira did submit to Suhasni many times - ex. Suhasni threw Naira out of the house, Swarna basically disowned her and she acted as if nothing happened, forgiving them in an instant), then isn't it possible the same situation would arise? And the Abhimanyu triangle happened with Akshu 'running away with him' and a public scandal like the one at the magar sakranti party. Is it possible Naira would've reacted a similar way to Manish?
I love Naira, but I'm not blind to all her flaws, and so I don't think she would've raised Akshu to be fearless and amazing like the OG Akshara, considering some tracks. Naira is quick to jump to conclusions and punish - she did that when she accused Kartik of killing Akshara and with Kairav.
Cause I'm not entirely opposed to Manish's reaction. Not on his side either but the hurt (i choose to believe) he's feeling, a sense of incompetency, shame and betrayal is understandable (a little).
