The dynamics and the track they are heading on is getting me really interested. Of course Abhira romance is nice but I'm more interested in the family issues that seem to be like a Pandora's box of horrible gifts and firsts for Akshu to witness up close everyday. Poor girl must be thinking "I knew it was bad but never did I imagine it to be this bad." She's probably thinking how am I going to fit in and how can we make things better. I mean Abhi cannot be dancing everyday or every other day just to try and make Akshu smile and forget about some horrible fight she witnessed downstairs 🤔 😆
I feel bad for Shefali too I can only imagine how scary that was to see Abhi fight with his father for the first time. And even if she cared to let's say understand or try to help in some way I'm sure Mahima and even Parth probably told her not to worry about it. It's like every family for themselves and then even with in that family every couple for themselves and then every individual for themselves for the Birlas. No one wants to acknowledge the issues that are happening or they feel powerless to help or they hide in the work/school/room as a coping mechanism to all the unpleasant things happening in the family.
Kairav sensed immediately something was up when he saw Akshu. The brother-sister bond feeling is back again. If he finds out what is going on he will be upset with Abhi but at the same time Abhi is technically doing what he can to protect Akshu but he just doesn't realize his method may not be the best solution. But for him it is one that has some value and has worked in the past. But the question remains has it changed any attitudes or thinking? No, it hasn't. And I'm going to bring back an Anisha call back regarding her comment about how suffocating it felt to live in the Birla household. Now, of course she was speaking more about the pressures her parents had on her trying to make her a doctor. But I'm sure part of it was also the fighting that happens daily in the house not just between her and her parents but maybe Parth and her parents and Abhi and his father. Truthfully Parth is probably jealous that Anisha got the courage to run away from the house. At least she is free from the Birla House of Horrors. And she is going out to do what she wants to do regardless if her parents agree with it or not because obviously they never did so the only solution was to run away. Anand and Mahima should take half the blame of that issue but because both of their egos are too big they won't admit that they were wrong. Instead they just double down on the fact that Anisha ran away and they fell a little in the face of society. Harshvardhan is doing the same thing. His ego is preventing him from seeing his faults in the equation with Abhi and Manjari.
The Pre-cap:
It's going to be interesting in what Akshu says. I wonder if she will simply resign at Birla Hospital and then go find work elsewhere. I personally feel like that would be the best solution. She could go work somewhere else and start to get recognition for her work in the music therapy field. Then it would be a good slap in HAM's face. And in many ways I want Akshu to earn her way into Birla Hospital. If you think about it she was initially rejected by Mahima. Then later offered the Music Department only because Mahima was at the time team Abhira and decided to make the unliteral decision of creating this department and bring Akshu on board. So without any proper reasoning by pure relation only she was brought into Birla Hospital. Whatever decision Akshu is making at least she is standing up and between Abhi and Harshvardhan. And what I mean by this is for the longest time Manjari has been ping-ponged about due to either Harshvardhan or Abhi's decisions. They "speak" for her most of the time. Akshu is showing the family she is not Manjari and she has a voice and a mind of her own. She will speak and make decisions for herself especially about her career. Harshvardhan will think he's won in bring some division between Akshu and Abhi but he will be surprise that Abhi will most likely support Akshu's decision. Who says her career has to begin and end with Birla Hospital? She can practice anywhere.
