See, there is slow character development and then there's is no character development and name it on slow process. For me, Akshara is falling for the latter.
Let me say, why.
The first time we saw Akshara, we saw her trying to keep the ties of her bond with Aarohi strong even if it meant brushing off her panic attack and ready to leave everything.
Then, we saw her in tilak episodes where she was so overwhelmed that when Abhi character was questioned, she did not open her mouth. We understood her dilemma there too. But let me ask this, if Abhimanyu was in position of Akshara and he let Harsh/Anand/Neil/Parth question her character because Akshara has sent hi to Neil then? Will people accept it as overwhelmness?
Then we saw how she said no to a man because her sister said, she will leave the house and she obliged yet she returns when his family members called her back. She wanted to give him happiness. Okay but then say that your family members called me back and it was not my own decision instead I was coerced to it because they requested. Why keep quiet when he asks the right questions?
And multiple others but I don't want to. But let's, face it, Akshara has hided every damn wrong Aarohi has done till now. And whenever Goenkas scold Aarohi, Akshara saves her and stops them from doing so.
Did not Akshara stood with the power of truth during Abhi and Aarohi marriage track?
Did not Akshara stood with the power of truth of MD and exam on shaadi day and Goenkas were in dark? She called Abhi but could not reach him then too. She wanted to reveal the truth but could not.
Did not they deserve to know?
I understood, she was struggling then.
Let's see it accident track.
Aarohi was over dose with drug and drove a damn car and put not only herself in danger but others and they did get into an accident.
When that happened, they especially Akshara felt they hit something or rather someone real hard and gave a lecture and pleaded Aarohi to check but once Aarohi stated her OPINION that it's a stone, she agreed. Akshara was in her senses right? How come she is not an accomplice?
Okay, let it go. This time again, she stood with the power of truth, did she revealed to Goenkas? She wanted to do it before too but did not. She wanted to do this time too but did not. Does she put Aarohi above everyone else? Even before right and wrong? Even before people who raised her up?
They asked her about accident right? Aarohi said "mujhse pyaar karti hai toh nahi batayegi" and she accepts the accident?
Does not Goenkas put blind, BLIND FAITH on Akshara and Aarohi? Is not it an abuse of trust? Did not Akshara faced the same situation and she repeated the same mistake? How many times more?
Did not she wanted to tell Abhimanyu the MD exam too but could not? Here, too, she revealed but once again, behind a curtain with a barrier that shows her cowardice?
Also, if it was character development and her want was to come clean, why not come clean to everyone? Manjiri was the victim right? Where was sorry instead she wants the victim to understand her and make Abhimanyu understand? Did not she saw Parth donning scrubs to help with assisting because he loves his chachi? He did not deserve to know? Did not she saw Neil running to find his mother?
Let's keep it apart and come back to my original post parallels.
First tilak, when Abhimanyu walked away, she did not stopped just looked longingly.
Mandir confession too, it was Abhi who fought for her. Should not that all be coming out from her? She was the one was emotionally abused. The point was to highlight the pain with Aarohi lies and her being quiet. Abhi was at the recieving end.
But let it be, when Abhi walked away, she took her time, we understood her dilemma there but she went on her own.
This time, Abhimanyu said, Aarohi ke Bina shaadi ya mere bina zindagi and she put both at equal level. She knew Aarohi is wrong and she took so long to choose the right. And she did not choose on her own will. Her family members coerced her once again, she needs to reassure Aarohi that she loves her and always will and her wrong doings did nothing to her love and Swarna gave her hope that Abhimanyu will forgive Aarohi and will allow her to come to the wedding and she also had a talk with Anupamaa before she chose, her marriage with Abhimanyu.
First time- reject Abhimanyu. Second time- Choose after sometime. Third time- Choose after lecture from family + AnupaMAA + reassure Aarohi.
If it's slow character development then I don't see it. Sorry.
Character development is when you are put in the same situation, with different intensity and you use your experience from previous one and takes the right actions or better and for me, Akshara don't learn from them.
