Isn't aroo old enuf to understand that akshu did NOT push sirat from the stairs ,it was an accident . Akshus only fault was to mollycoddle aroo as they grew.old ...if she is coming out of aroo spell it's progress... .
I think Aarohi couldn't handle the pain of losing her mother so she projected it onto Akshu without dealing with it properly. She needs real therapy to process the pain and loneliness she feels. I just think Aaru's character is overall much more interesting and fun to watch.
As far as leads being "glorified," that comes down to the writing of the show. I just wish they could show everyone in the family as good people and still show interpersonal conflict. I'm not sure if you've seen older shows like "Ek hazaron mein meri behna hai" and "Sasural Genda Phool (season 1)," but they showed it perfectly. Even Yeh Rishta's first season with the OG Akshara and Naitik showed interpersonal conflict so nicely. Without turning any side characters into villains.
