Thank you for the beautiful reviews Meher🥰
Such a beautiful and in-depth review. Missing this but I know story was rubbish and no one was watching it properly.
I guess makers realized that Abhrohi pair will not work and they need to bring story back if they want to continue run this show
Wonderful to see your post Meher, always a delight to read the little things you notice!
Dropping of ji is dropping of burdens is an interesting take, wonderful explanation.
The Kalpavriksh acting as the new iccha kund and how Abhi made his wish just there, another wonderful observation!
Truly Abhi looks like he's at the last leg of his patience ...hereon everything will be tick tick boom one way or other. The story finally seems to be moving somewhere.
Eagerly waiting for your inputs after today's dhamaakedar episode yaar

Ak – The Mystery woman
Hello everyone!
Sorry for butting in uninvited! And sorry for the long post. I’ve been following the show-off and on, but I do read comments on this thread. This is my first post in this forum, sort of me coming out of pseudo-retirement from posting, though it is more of a commentary on Ak.
While the story is trash at this point and the screenplay is a nightmare, with too many-necessary complications Ak as a character is intriguing. This post is to focus on her, and I’ve tried not to judge her, more like presenting different facets of her character as I see it.
She loves Ab but is also the toughest on him, maybe her expectations from him a 100x more than others. While she knows she has closed all doors to his rational thinking, 6years back yet she wants him to break through and call her out for her lies. She wants him to come to her with the correct kyun…kyun…kyun! While openly rejecting any kind of apology, she still wants him to figure it all out and confront her for her questionable decisions as well as apologize for his wrongs. . And most importantly, she still jumps head first into her hair-brained decision-making without an ounce of thought given to the consequences, recent case in point is her thoughtless advances toward Nav now. What is she expecting to happen? And her biggest flaw is her failure to accept or take any kind of responsibility for any action or decision taken, good or bad. In fact, she hides her good deeds and justifies her bad! She prefers to leave all the consequences to destiny and stands on the sidelines to watch the results, good or bad. Yes, she is a mystery!
Today, I wanted to try and understand AK and her actions, from a bird’s eye view of a neutral observer. There are a few aspects to this. I’m not judging her, from her POV she has sound reasons for her current actions (of the past 6 years). Her anger, disappointment, and frankly, ‘I do not care anymore’ attitude to Ab is something he completely deserves. He deserved it for his words and actions (and inactions) starting from the Sirat comment moment in their confrontation concluding with the argument with Nav which turned out to be the decider for Ak. Since the CVS is not obliging us with any other details about Ak, be it thoughts or actions, we are forced to add bits and fragments to form our narrative. These actions I saw and understand and stand with her for them. What I’m writing further are those questionable choices that fall in the grey zone for me.
First, and most importantly, we have not got anything from Ak– the mother. Honestly, where is she? I’m not going to focus on D-Day confrontation, since that has been analyzed to pieces. But the only thing I missed from then and still missing is AK’s POV about that disastrous incident, especially regarding her babies……. On that day more than worrying about not being able to pay her last rights to Neel (though it was important), I missed seeing the young to-mother who brutally lost her babies. I wanted to see her wail, cry, and be devastated for her lost babies. We got two seconds in the hospital corridor but…..All I saw was her crying for not being able to stay with everyone for Neel’s last rites! In the face of this huge tragedy, I wanted to see her second guess her decision to fight those goons and at least one time question her own judgment or regret putting herself (and her babies) in that dangerous situation, albeit her intentions were good and she didn’t expect things to go so horribly wrong….. but where was that regret? Just one time? Where was that young mother to whom those miracle babies should’ve been everything? Was she really ok to lose the babies in exchange for good intentions? I horribly missed this side of AK, her heartfelt thoughts on that tragedy, and two months (or 6 years) later I still do! To date, I have not seen her mourn for her one lost child. CVs and their weird judgments regarding what screenplay to focus on! Sigh!
Second, her decisions since Abhir’s birth we can somewhat connect to. It's all based on the psychology of fear. Until Abhir was born she could’ve retraced her steps at least to her family and worked out a reconciliation with Ab but the fear of rejection by AB (especially of her child) kept her away and kept her silent. This is exactly the sore point for Kairav. And she has spent 6 years in what seems like a limbo state for her but she has failed to realize that the world as she knows it has moved on accepting her new reality as truth. Once she embarked on this road filled with falsehood with her new partner n cohort, she is now fearful of the truth revealing and how everyone will judge her now or if they may snatch Abhir from her. Heck, even her partner now believes in this, so much so, that he does not feel any guilt standing beside the guy who is the real father, even after knowing that he still mourns for his lost babies, showing how much their alternate reality has taken over for them. And she also fears getting out of this comforting cocoon and facing uncomfortable facts which include her facing the consequences of that fatally flawed decision on that fateful day. So running away seems like a more easy and comfortable option now, until the next hurdle! She prefers Abhir;s father to become his uncle in ignorance but is unwilling to face consequences once again. Even a small amount of guilt seeing Ab would suffice for me. Again, CVs and their weird judgment on the screenplay that they do not offer even this small POV to Ak which would make her seem more normal! Sigh!
Last (for now), is an outsider’s perception of her actions. Viewers saw her…. in trauma after the brutal breakup with her husband. With one stroke their relationship was amputated and she has lost all her bearings. Then she finds a ray of hope when one baby survived. She has a good friend who is supportive and she marries him to give her son a father….. I saw this, so I know. But to people back in U’pur…… she sent voice notes, and I think she also changed her phone number a few times (got this impression from that message to BP). And then ta… da….. the massive bomb….. 6 months after she’s gone she informs she got married! Viewers know she had a baby, they don’t, not yet. What are they supposed to make of it? Maybe she revealed the birth of her son, 4 or so months later….. can you see the impression she has created? Does it not feel like she met a guy, liked him, slept with him on the rebound, found herself pregnant, and married him…. All within 6 months of breaking up with her soulmate! And not just that, having a baby with him right after….. what would one think?...... forget her great love, it appears like she did not even value the babies she lost that she could replace them so easily with another so soon! Maybe GK and Kairav were angry with her for a couple of years and BP finally paid her one visit to see her baby. And MJ keeps barking at her for that and yet it seems like Ak does not grasp this outsider’s (even Ab’s) perspective!!
She comes across as a fascinating mix of an empathetic, emotional yet cold, practical, and calculative person! Sigh CVs!
As I said Ak is a mystery and an enigma. Not everyone can understand her. Even her own family cannot. Ab came close but he failed at the most crucial time. So high time she opens her mouth and spills it all! Can CVs finally oblige us with a meaningful screenplay for Ak? Please!
Well, this post became longer than expected, so sorry for taking up your time, and thanks for reading! I’ve been meaning to write this for a while now.

Hello Aarti!! How are you?? Happy Holi and Happy Women's Day!!
Looks like both of us have stepped out of semi-retirement almost at the same time!! I came to the forum yesterday.
@Blue - that whole part was dealt with in an extremely rushed and messy way. Even the written updates had given me a migraine so forget about watching. I don't think she has cried or burst out or let herself go after she lost her baby(ies). I think that's why she is stone-faced and unfeeling post leap. Everything is still there inside her. Like a lava bubbling inside a volcano but one only sees the steady bland mountain on the outside. Well... at least that's what I want to believe and I hope the makers / CVS want to convey. ITV doesn't exactly deal with sensitive issues with sensitivity, does it? You and I have seen it over the years. 😆 So it's us viewers who try to decipher the actions and expressions for our own peace of mind.
@maroon - Akshara has always been the one who felt a lot but expressed very little on the outside. She channeled everything internally - be it Arohi's constant blame-game or her own love for Abhimanyu when he'd been engaged to Arohi (initially). Her solutions to problems that involve the heart - paste a smile and try to endure and look for the best in others. She avoided / avoids confrontations and conflicts. Any face-off, she clamps up. Is it because she automatically accepts the blame for the whatever the situation? Did that start after Sirat's death and Arohi's blame-game?
Hari and meher
Thanks for this wonderful review 😍❤️💓
Hello Aarti!! How are you??
Happy Holi and Happy Women's Day!!
Looks like both of us have stepped out of semi-retirement almost at the same time!! I came to the forum yesterday.
Hello ! Hello! What a coincidence..... seems like we never took a break! Like the good old days. 😳 Happy Holi to you too and Happy Women's Day to you! So, how is my favorite writer these days? 😊 Miss those days too much now.....

Touche! Tell me about it..... that is the real problem, for both of them They both express it differently, as per their personalities. Both needed time as a couple to grieve..... for Nell yes, but most importantly for their baby(ies).... and they never got a chance. With everything happening so suddenly, neither got a proper closure, while he is living with a multitude of questions that eat him up, she just wants to run away and postpone the problem to another day and time.....

yes... yes... yes! Absolutely... 100%. But the problem is that stoicism and deadpan expressions work wonders in print form.... you know, the author can express that in words. But in a visual sense, these kinds of scenes where the FL behaves as if nothing affects her have to be accompanied by tons of FBs or monologues.... unfortunately we have not got much. So it distinctly gives the viewers the impression that Ak has completely moved on, she hates Ab to the core, loves Nav, and wants to be with him for life..... when it's the exact opposite she is feeling. She just wants Ab to come to her, confront her with love and just take him in his arms like he always does. the lack of any audio-visual representation of the thoughts has created a huge disconnect with the audience, especially when one can clearly see Ab has been missing and moping for her for 6 years now.
After watching today’s ep, I just have one thing to say, I wanted Abheera’s fate for Akshara. Akshara’s impulsiveness and miscalculations killed...
Jo bhi isne anshuman ke saath kiya aur jo yeh geetu ke saath karne wali hai. Uske baad yeh shaadi jaise pavitra bandhan ka majaak bhi bnayegi...
Those days were they had perfect family! Absolutely no one in this generation can even come close to precious rishta these three had! No...
I am making this post because I noticed there is confusion about Akshara being a bigamist 1 Abhimanyu gave her divorce papers 2 She signed and...
