His mindset has always been that way.
He described Arohi and Akshu’s relationship that way as well. He then tried to cut that relationship by making Akshu choose between him and her sister during the wedding times. I remember how many were upset with Akshu that it took her so long to choose Abhi.
Abhi cut his father out of a relationship with him due to the way he treated his mother.
What Abhi tshould have done was cut his own cord with his family. He knew what they were like from the start. He tried to protect Akshu from them but he didn't succeed. She got dragged around. He was then influenced this way and that way by someone in his family not realizing where he went wrong.
I find it just funny how when Akshu said the same words and had similar intentions and meaning about her love (Abhi and Akshu's relationship) harming her family some people were up and arms about how careless Akshu was saying things and it triggered an insecurity in Abhi. Was Abhi ever going to be a part of her family? Now those same words and intent is being used here and Abhi is looking callous? Granted Birlas are probably way more toxic than Goenkas. And quite frankly other than Shefali, Nistha, and Shivu all other Birlas are dirt. Harshvardhan only recently became sane again but he is no saint either.
Abhi from the start only wanted the relationship to be US. No family on his side. But she kept including them and getting involved in things forcing him to get involved. He never knew how to manage family because he had no one in his own family that could do it. Who was he to learn from? His mother? We see how well she has done it. Certainly not Anand and Mahima who was too busy running to the hospital. Harshvardhan mistreated and disrespected his mother so he is not someone either to look to.
We all know Abhir is going to show Abhi the mirror. Abhi became what he feared the most in his life which was his father. I am glad Vinay Sir confirmed he is still with YRKKH. We need Harshvardhan back so this first generation father son relationship can be explored and see how that reflects upon the second generation.
Abhi is in such a deep hole. I want him to be able to redeem himself. So far we have seen him be a fairly though unrealistic good boyfriend and a horrible husband (he tried to be good but his traumas and an extremely messed up family environment already put him at 1/100 chance of turning things around). Can he be a good father?
