Akshara Goenka is perfect for him. She is the only person who can truly rival him and she showed the same today. She's not going to let him walk all over her and he was shocked to see her throw things because that's such an Abhimanyu move.
They both said things today that might've gone too far but definitely hurt a ton (you're like your father; you're Aarohi's doormat/wedding is a mistake) but I'm glad they said it because they've thought those things for a while. I rather they have that said in the open.
I don't think Abhimanyu recognizes that Arohi is Akshara's choice. It's not that she can't go against Aarohi, it's that she chooses not to (most times - sometimes the idea of Aarohi getting hurt or Sirat's death gives her panic attacks and immobilizes her but that's understandable IMO cause trauma). Akshara is someone who picks and chooses her battles and she will remind him that she can do it until he understands that which is great! I also admire how she does it so calmly and rationally.
Likewise, Abhimanyu has been very clear about his family and how he handles them so Akshara has to give him that space. Abhimanyu is a protector and I can see how the exhaustion of that role is taking a toll on him especially cause he sees his efforts as futile. He's trying so hard and it's not saving anyone - the Birla's work in circles :C
I love Abhira face-offs where Akshara is at her full form and this track has given me so many I'm so happy!
