Okay one more SERIOUS topic from y’all’s maybe “favorite” Maa of Akshu (if I’m not your favorite akshu’s mother of yours, aag laga dongi…okay that was the last bad joke hopefully)
okay is anyone actually wrong in this situation if you look at it from their point of view…this is from each character’s point of view. I’m playing the devil’s advocate for each one because in real life we all make choices in life thinking it’s the correct one. Most of don’t make major choices in life thinking “oh yes we are wrong and are being a shitty person…” we all think we are justified in making the choices we make
Abhimanyu did all this including proposing to Aarohi because he loves Akshu. Truly, deeply, madly. He can’t think beyond Akshu and he just wanted Akshu and at the end when he knew for sure Akshu loved him as well, he saw no point in ruining Aarohi’s life by making her be in a loveless marriage.
Akshu realized Aarohi never loved Abhi and so why ruin three lives seeing that Abhi loved her, she loved Abhi. She felt Abhi will do something to himself so it was a now or never choice for her. I think she was hoping that maybe they will go home at the right time, explain everything and their families will understand. People like Akshu only see the positive in most people and I think she had full faith in her family to understand her side and she really thought she will stop the wedding at the right time. She really wasn’t expecting everyone to show up at the mandir.
Aarohi. I know many people don’t like her but I don’t find her to be wrong. She’s ambitious and wants the best for herself. Why is that wrong? And to be honest she was never the one who said she did all the things she got credits for. Yes she was wrong to bribe someone for the test but even then I think she was pushed. She worked damn hard and still Mahima lashed out her insecurities on her by always putting her down. Aarohi is still meant to be very young and just starting her career…she only wanted to prove that she’s capable too.
The Goenkas - Namely Bade Papa. He is part of a society and culture that will always blame the girl. The izzat of someone is based on what their daughter will do. On top he has an added responsibility of making sure both Aaru and Akshu have a reputable life because he is not their father. All fingers will point to him and they have. From where he stands: he sees one daughter lying and bribing to do some exam and sees another daughter ran off with her sister’s fiancé on their wedding day. and everyone is pointing their fingers at him and his family only questioning his upbringing. His pride has been crushed.
The Birlas - namely Harsh. He has a son who hates him for whatever reason. Then came a girl who his son is obsessed with and ever since then, his son goes through one thing or another. He thinks Akshu is the root of all of Abhi’s problems and as a father, as calculative and heartless he appears…he still cares for his son. He still wants his son to be happy and have an equal partner. So even though it’s mostly Goenka izzat that has gone ti take a dip in Iccha Kund, fingers are being pointed at son too.
Anyways my point is….one of the reasons this show has worked for so long is the way it handles different human characteristics. Nobody here is completely wrong or right and if they are wrong, their actions somehow are justified unlike other ITV shows where if your negative then you actually are a naagin. All the characters are more human (apart from Akshu but let’s not go there since I promised to not crack bad jokes).
