Only read page one of the this thread I'm sure it's probably page 6 by now considering how fast this thread goes with our commentary 😆
So some thoughts from my side.
I was actually happy today that the fight didn't get dragged out unnecessary. Anand shutting it all down. It was like packup everyone go home 😆. He's tired of the fighting and drama that keeps happening ever since the Goenkas came into their lives and of course this is mutually felt by the Goenkas. Harsh doesn't let things go and keeps poking at Manish and well he in turn pokes back. And obviously the biggest hit to him and Mahima is that their daughter who ran away 2 years ago has decided to come back.
I'm glad Kairav spoke up and explained the situation even though he knew it was going to hurt Anisha. It was hurting him too. Abhi turned into big brother mode and Kairav understood exactly his anger as he himself had been put that place by Abhi himself. These role reversals I tell you. The characters are seeing things now from a different perspective and learning from them. One thing I noticed about this particular family showdown was the youngsters talking and arguing things out. But they did not resort to name calling or taunts. It was purely laying out their views and facts of the situation. Where as when the elders talk they are shouting and taunting each other and giving each other high blood pressure ☢️
Now coming to the scene where Abhi grabs Kairav's collar. Abhi was completely triggered by Kairav's words to not blame Anisha in all of this as it was his fault. It's all coming full circle with Abhi finally voicing out the frustrations he had felt when he was fighting his only battle to get Akshara to admit her love. The mixed signals was the worst. He probably felt he was going crazy especially when they were playing the normal abnormal game with each other. He clearly wants to make sure Kairav does not do that to his sister so it's better if you call it off no emotions otherwise any sign of care can reignite the motivitate to fight for that love that is being denied to them. Abhi knows Anisha is much like him and she would do something like that.
Akshara stepping in to defuse the situation was just as impactful as when it was shown in the pre-cap. She was the only one who could make Abhi stop today. Even Manjari could not. Birla elders take note of this 😆 The sudden realization of what he was doing dawned on him and seeing the pain in her eyes for her brother and the pain that she had because she had to stop him was captured so beautiful in those shots. Hats off to Harshad and Pranali 👏 These two make what we love about Abhira.
Once Abhi knows about Kairav and Akshara's past regarding Naira I think he's going to be even more ashamed that he had behaved that way with Kairav. As he isn't just Akshara's brother but also a father type figure for her as well.
Anand and Mahima these two (actually three including Harsh) only care about their reputation and face in society. Anand only upset that his daughter ran away and gave their family a bad reputation but not caring why she even ran in the first place? Anisha finally telling it like it is and to the audience that the Birla household is suffocating. The look on Parth's face said it all. He felt the pain for his sister but also understood what she meant because he was put under pressure as well. This family is too obsessed with being doctors. If you don't follow their way then you just get taunted. No wonder Abhimanyu is the only one these 3 elders love. It's only because he's a doctor 😳
Back to the Goenka's house I think it's probably the first time in a long time Kairav said no to Bade Papa. This man, just went through a terrible break up one that he didn't want to do but thinks he has to do only because of the animosity between the two families. And the saddest part his and Anisha's love story wasn't wrong nor did it hurt anyone 🥺 It was the unfortunate circumstances of what happened between Abhi and Akshara that caused all of this. The diary scene between Akshara and Kairav was very touching. I love their brother sister bond. Pranali and Mayank did a fabulous job here 👏 I like how Kairav told Akshara that it wasn't her Abhi that grabbed him but the protective elder brother. It was his way of saying don't be too hard on Abhi and in his own way telling her openly that he supports her and has accepted her and Abhi's relationship.
Arohi of course sees all of this and well, we knew the calm and supportive Arohi wasn't going to last long. I really think the showdown at the Birla's really triggered her. Especially when Abhi told Manish that he did nothing wrong and only loved Akshara. Abhi have you forgotten the jilted bride? Even if she turned out to be a liar and fraud she is also a person who has feelings. She was humiliated in public. And now she sees Kairav and Akshara patching up and Kairav even lending support to Akshara and Abhi's relationship I can see why she's jealous of their sibling bond but also upset that they could forget about her situation so quickly to be okay with Abhi. And we see from the pre-cap she is all ready to rain on Abhira's parade and get Abhi in trouble with Bade Papa. She obviously did not notice Bade Papa holding his left arm during the drama at the Birlas otherwise no need to put that man under anymore stress. My guess is Bade Papa is going to have his heart attack and Abhi will be there to save him.
