We're finally hearing from Akshara!

Today Akshara said a few dialogues that really piqued my interest:

1. Mere aur Aaru ke beech ka rishta mein tumhe shayad kabhi nahi samja paati
2. Usse akele rehna ka matlab bhi nahi pata, woh aaj tak aap sab se dur nahi rehti.
3. please meri behan ko wapas lae ao.

The first dialogue was typical of Akshara but it made me wonder, is it partly because you can't explain it yourself? Akshu, I always think a part of your grave attachment to Aaru is because Sirat Maa isn't here anymore and Aaru is her last nishaani. Evidence to that theory was today when she said Mumma Papa nah ho [in the wedding] par-". She was most likely going to complete the sentence by saying her siblings (who symbolize her parent's love - Kairav and Aaru) would be but she stopped midway. But what about before that? Your love for Aaru hasn't changed much over the years. You've loved her blindly before you knew you were half-siblings, so it isn't because you wanted to be an example like Ram ji and Lakshmanan. I don't know if that kind of love can purely be explained by the family and Sirat not stopping Akshu from being a doormat. Akshu was taught to forgive Aaru and look after her at all costs, but what about that lead Akshu to believe she's incomplete without Aarohi. What is it that makes you love her more than Kairav and Vansh? And what drew distance between the sisters and Kairav. The trio loves each other, but there's a lot of formality. In siblings who love each other as much (Akshu and Kairav, specifically), I'd imagine they'd share their feelings but here, everyone's in their own little bubbles. Is it the large age gap between the three that built this communication gap?

Akshu doesn't have monologues or conscience visits or long chats with Manjari about her feelings like Abhi and Aaru, but she has these trinkets where she lets us dive into her soul. An example of the same is the second dialogue. The reason you and Abhi connected so deeply is that you know what it's like to be alone, even in a large family. I believe when he heard your music the first time, it was loneliness and the search for inner peace that radiated within him. If Abhi because an established doctor because one Birla child had to conform to the high-pressure and stakes Birla environment, then Akshu became this sacrificing devi to support the Goenka household for there was no Naira to smooth things overtake on the responsibility of keeping everyone happy.

Another thing: Akshu folded her hands and pleaded to everyone to bring "her sister back". Isn't she Kairav's sister too? Isn't she Manish's granddaughter as well? Akshu emphasizes Aaru as her own and it never ceases to amaze me. If this was a rare incident, I would rationalize her possessive pronoun by saying everyone's mad at Aarohi so maybe that's why she had to push the meri Aaru and meri liye usse wapas le aao. But it isn't and wow. From childhood, it was meri Aaru. At times, it goes over my head how such a bond formed between the two. Akshu really considers Aarohi her child - she loves Aaru with more blindness than a parent does. And the Goenka's know that. They're seeing Akshu breakdown due to Aarohi's disappearance and pitying her plight rather than sharing it because they know, from childhood, nothing will happen to Aaru as Akshu will take care of her. Everyone has literally passed Aarohi on as Akshu's responsibility and now they don't blink an eye. It reminds me of the scene where Naksh messed up as a child (lied to his parents, bunked school, and something else) and Akshara was reacting just like this, so hurt and broken while the rest of the family just watched from afar. The Singhania's were disappointed by Naksh, but more so they were worried about Akshara's feelings for she had the same reaction. She held herself responsible for Naksh's misdemeanours and cried far more than he did.

ALSO PRANALI LOOKS SO GOOD IN THAT RED SUIT I LOVE IT

Love your analysis and details into it ❤️. Can't comment more because I didn't see the episode. But akshara really loves Aarohi and Aarohi loves Akshara too as long as she is not coming in her way. But that doesn't mean her love and concern is totally fake. It's just Selfish but not in extreme situations. Other Goenkas siblings are more as props in this story. They don't utilize them well. So can't comment much.

1 & 2 dialogues just tell me that Akshara in no way shape or form is ready for marriage. There are just too many emotional ties that she needs to let go off before she can be ready for ANY NEW relationship.

one example - who wakes up in the morning to see if Aaru is still in bed and be worried that she is not???? There could be any reason that she woke up with most simple thing being using the washroom! This is past trauma, it’s obsession..!! How will she keep tabs on Aarohi once she is married? (Wake next to Abhi and think about Aaru??? Imagine how creepy that sounds)

PS - trauma is overused here imo, just to justify any and every action of the FL (we see amnesia as per convenience as well)

I think a part of Aarohi does care about Akshu but then I see her behaviour and I wonder if I can actually call it true love. Because, when I think of true love I think of selflessness. I know I love my friends when I partake in activities I dislike because their happiness is my priority. That isn't even an example of selflessness but it shows the ability to put aside my personal interests at a tiny level.

I see care from Aarohi's side when she's not involved in the situation. But when she is, then that care seems minuscule to her goals.

Someone commented the other day about what Akshu's life would look like if she has kids. Would she still prioritize Aarohi above them was their question? When I initially read the question, I leaned towards she wouldn't because paternal love is something else. It's not greater than other forms of love (romantic or sibling for example) per se, but it's different and it takes more out of you. But today, the love I saw from her and its semblance to Akshara's love for Naksh makes me reevaluate that opinion. Yes, Akshu's love is more blind than Akshara's (or even Naira's) as a mother, but the way they feel towards their children is akin. At times, I would say Akshu's love for Aarohi even seems more intense, maybe because it lacks that objectivity.

I definitely agree with you. Akshara isn't ready for marriage and in no world is she ready to give up Aarohi. Had Akshu and Abhi met during those three years when she was away it would be different, I think. Because of the distance already in place, Akshara would long for Aarohi, not cling to her. But now, with Aarohi sprinkling moments of love and care (which shocked Akshu as she said in yesterday's episode), she's become more apprehensive about giving it up.

From the moment Aarohi called Akshu, 'Akshu', after the Tilak 1.0, Akshu became like an addict a bit. Akshu always loved Aarohi but there she got a taste of reciprocation and we've seen it overpower her other desires sometimes. I understand if Abhi's afraid of this Aaru-addiction and I think he's slowly realizing, that just like with other addicts, he'll have to slowly wean her off. Going cold turkey right away won't work and we saw that today.

Deep thoughts brought out beautifully.

I haven't watched the episode and have no intention of watching it either.

At times I feel we, here in the forum, analyse the story, tracks and characters way more than the actual writers of the story do. I'm not putting down the efforts of the writers. Please don't misunderstand. I just don't think that at this point, they are thinking this deeply. We do it because we need some positivity that we can cling to, which would make our watching those 20 mins easier. The makers are way too focused on creating drama. Maybe they think that's the way to counter the IPL and its effect on the TRPs, I don't know. But to me, there has been a disconnect with the characterization and thinking process of both Akshara and Abhimanyu ever since the accident track began.

That said, I will also add that the way they are portraying Akshara's feelings towards Arohi at the moment, marriage is a bad, bad idea. Her attachment to her sister aside, I don't see the joy in either one of them. And the few moments that we do get to see, it feels each is forcing a smile for the sake of the other. Such a start to a marriage is never a good idea - not to mention so much tension between both familes and Birla family towards Akshara.

Mother's love is totally different and I don't know who is comparing mother and sister love. I love my sister a lot too. Every relation has it's own place. Be it parents, siblings, husband or children. They cannot be compared. Akshara can love Abhi and Aarohi equally or one above other too. It is upto her who she feels for it. No one can control or change that. Same thing in real life. I can love my sister more than parents or vice versa. I think we should just learn to balance relationships if that are causing issues.

But this is TV serial. If they want to separate couple they will show Akshara cannot balance otherwise she can. Sometimes it's girls mistake and sometimes boys. There are always two sides of coin in failed relationship or friendship. It's not always one person's fault. If only one is getting blamed that means the other person was not even worth of it.

100% agree with what you said - unfortunately this marriage is a burden/comes with a job (help wean of Aaru) rather than happiness for Abhi.

I am with you in this. Marriage is not solution here. It's like getting some pending work done. Unfortunately lot of families think get the marriage done later issues will get resolved but it never happens. It becomes more difficult to handle.

Again.. problem was never akshus attachment to aroo or her taking up the responsibility of her guardian ..she can love aroo as much but why turn a blind eye towards lies and manipulations ? Least she can do is make her sit and give gyan ..
