The entire family is preparing for mehendi when Akshu comes home. Manjari calls about the destination wedding. Abhira are on the call too, but Abhi cannot look at Akshu, and Akshu is trying her best not to cry. Abhi knows that if he looks at Akshu for too long, he will break. He gets a call from the hospital and has to leave.
Aarohi notices something is wrong with Akshu, but Akshu looks at her and has flashbacks of Abhi saying he ruined their relationship for Aarohi. There is a part of Akshu that blames Aarohi for this, and I have a feeling that part is going to burst soon.
Abhi is in surgery, and he hears Akshu singing Lag Ja Gale Se. She has been called for therapy for the patient. He has flashbacks to the first time they met and her saving her from the panic attack. This was such a beautiful parallel to the post-accident scene when Akshu is singing O Khanna and they are across from the window. She is calling him, but he isn’t coming. Both times, it was after they had a major fight… and both times, they had been deeply hurt by each other’s behavior.
Akshu waits outside for him after the surgery and says that she won’t even come in front of him, but she will wait for him and keep hoping. Again, this, to me, is a parallel of Abhi telling Akshu to come to sunset point at 4pm. The roles have been reversed here. Last time, Akshu ran to him because she thought someone would happen to him, and this time, Abhi will come save her from the cops.
The next morning, the Goenkas do naagin dance remembering Naksh.
Akshu is getting ready hoping that Abhi comes. Meanwhile, the Birlas are getting ready and Parth taunts Shefali about her work again. This is getting out of hand now. He will surely be the reason that Shefali and Akshu’s relationship suffers in the near future.
Abhi is exercising outside of the hospital and Manjari goes to check on him. He tells her everything. Abhi tells her that Akshu risked their relationship for the most selfish sister who doesn’t even care about her — again, what pisses Abhi off even more than knowing Aarohi’s true colors and Akshu’s love for her is that love is not reciprocated. He sees that Aarohi tortures Akshu, but Akshu still protects her.
Again, the misunderstanding is highlighted, because Abhi is unwilling to accept that Akshu didn’t know. He is adamant that he hid it. Manjari says that just because Abhi is right doesn’t mean that Akshu is wrong. She tries to tell him that Akshu didn’t know. But, he doesn’t listen. She says that she is alive so it’s all okay, which pisses him off even more. Manjari says that she made a mistake during tilak and brought the wrong rishta, so why can’t Akshu make a mistake too? This entire scene was really good. But, again, Abhi was not hearing Manjari. He is still not processing that Akshu prioritized him… he is upset that he found out from someone else, but that is exactly what Akshu didn’t want, so she ran to tell him.
All of the Birlas arrive to the Goenakas except Manjari and Abhi. Akshu hopes that Manjari can handle it.
Aarohi comes and sees that Akshu is upset and worried and wearing 2 different shoes. Akshu starts crying.
Takeaways from the episode — Aarohi has finally made peace with Abhira, but now the truth is about to burst. This is going to change the dynamics once again.
Abhi still needs to calm down, as he is in rage still.
In terms of the precap — they never give the full story. So before bashing either Abhi or Akshu, I will wait.
Abhi's biggest weakness is his anger. He cannot listen to reason when angry. And a big thing is that he hinself has said it that one day in his anger he is going to do something again in their relationship. I don't think that is for this track. It will probably be the separation track after they have been married for some time.
Manjari at least tried to reason with Abhi. Her example is okay. I mean both have life altering consequences but one really is a matter of life and death and the other is ruining someone's life but at least they are alive and could find things to live on.
I just hate that Manjari had to hear the truth about her accident from someone else. Its not really setting up a good dynamic in the Birla Household almost everyone has one strike down in the bad column for Akshara.
Harshvardhan has put several marks down 1 for when she rejected Abhi at their house 1 for making his son become a run away groom
1 for the Akshu jaap that his son does
1 for cheating at the games
1 for Holi because she called him Harshu and it looks like she never apologized to him for it
Mahima
1 for being a potential rival in the power struggle over the hospital and household
1 for not asking permission to do the therapy session
1 for Akshu jaap that Abhi does
Anand
1 for Akshu jaap that Abhi does
Manjari
1 for hiding the accident (sure Akshara may not have known then but now that she knows she never said anything to her - Manjari may have a big heart but the optics look bad)
As for the precap 🤪 we cannot judge but considering that Akshara is even attempting to admit doesn’t sit well. It would be funny if the cops came for the servant who drove Arohi's car 😆 and Aorhi and Akshara are on the side crying and begging for forgiveness.
Makes me wonder how Abhi is going to react with the adoption khaand. Of course we still do not know which why that track will go but some big hidden truths are in there for sure.
