Akshara is a girl who is used to being hurt and bearing it smiling. She is so used to this constant pain, humiliation that she doesnt give it much thought. If she feels slighted by Swarna, Ag or Aarohi she simply smiles says a few bubbly words and hurries to find a hidden corner.
She had been inflicted with this pain for so long that is like a permanent baggage to her. She does not feel the weight of this hurt anymore. In fact she is the one who adds more pain for herself by ignoring it, siding with the inflictors and refusing to ask for help. She is shown siding and supporting those who hurt her, humiliate her are cruel to her in the name of family members. And so she no more sees the pattern of abuse when it comes to her. But she is a girl who is quick to see when others are hurt and immediately goes to defend and helps others.
Abhimanyu comes into her life like a whiff of magic. And his quiet gestures towards her makes her feel special. Although he likes it she is not ready to accept the feelings and talks herself out of that feeling. Every time his actions make her feel special, his attention makes her feel life the happy girl she should have been she shrugs it off. She rejects the love, the attention, the happiness because she is not used to it.
She has learn to laugh through inflicted pain and an expert to give the most brilliant smiles when hurt badly. But Abhimanyu's love and care was making her feel emotions she was not ready to accept. And thats the conflict only intensified for Akshara when Aaaohi wanted to marry Abhimanyu. She thought that she will make this one final sacrifice for her step sister and pay for all the accusations and failures piles against her.
By refusing Abhimanyu’s love she thought she will make Aarohi happy and silently keep loving him.
——————-
But every time Abhimanyu was in danger she immediately accepted, her last breath was attached with him.
The fire incident was a major revelation to her when she openly accepted her feeling to herself aloud. She was ready to confront Abhimanyu and accept her feelings. But when Aarohi was mistaken as the savior immediately the old pain and wounds came back to cloud her love and she became a mute spectator letting Ar take her credits.
The moment Abhimanyu came to know the truth he decides to confront her but she restrained for Ar sake until he threatens to give up his life. As soon as she understood that he may harm himself she forgot everything and came running to him and stopped the distort from happening in their life.

After 1yrs leap, she was once again leaving with Khera in spite of knowing that her 1yr contract she could return to Abhimanyu only to continue to help Kv. She was again ready to sacrifice her pain to help another, until she saw Abhimanyu laying on the road and immediately she knew that she cannot keep doing this to him and herself. For her to breath on earth she needs Abhimanyu. And she was ready to forget everything and return to him in the hospital until she saw Manjari in the hospital talk about her and moved away. Causing a distort.

After Neil’s death, she accepted every accusations made by Abhimanyu in his anger and left him. But she knew she was too hurt to face any one in the GH because she was nt used to sharing her pain with anyone. When she came to know that she was pregnant it was one ray of sunshine into her darkness. And the only person with whom she wanted to share this happiness was Abhimanyu but his refusal to listen to her, then BP words about him not willing to come to take her and hearing him say to Nav that he has nothing to do with her or her baby shattered the last thread of love she had kept with her.
But she needed to live and she in a lifeless manner. Abhir's birth helps her survive. But she refused to thrive, to prosper, to love or be loved. Thats the phase represented with life with Nav.
—————————————
The only person who makes her feel alive, to care, to live and love intensely is Abhimanyu and she believes he does not want her in his life. In the 6yrs of separation, Akshara's worst fear and only desire in life was to face him. When she suddenly faced him a lot of emotional debris came crashing down. She deliberately hurt him by portraying infront of him how happy she was in her new life. She kept inflicting pain giving the impression that she has moved on. And once he gave her the outlets to burst and express her anger few more layers of anger, insults and humiliations washed away. But now Akshara dosnt know how to come out of this languid life that she has created in this 6yrs. Even though her anger has dissipated she doesn’t know the path to go back to the life she once lived with Abhimanyu.
Her coming back to Udaipur didnt happen on its own. Its was Akshara's desire but she kept stalling until Kv unwittingly gave her the much needed push. It only shows how adamant and strong she is and she is the one who is in control of Abhimanyu and her future.
Akshara is stronger than Abhimanyu. She grew up among family bearing pain and laughing at it. Abhimanyu is attached is attached to his family by one emotional strand that of her mother. He cannot take any life decision without her. One decision he made for himself to marry Akshara brought him so much dishevel that he did not know how to deal with it. His mother has made him so emotionally dependent on herself that he does according to her which caused a distort in his life.
And that’s the reason everyone is very upset with Akshara’s entry because the plots of everyone's evil schemes start shaking when Akshara takes the centre stage in Abhimanyu's life.
-----------------
Right now she is fine because she sees Abhimanyu is fine… If she has the slightest inclination that he is not doing okay Akshara’s shred will come crashing down. She lives because Abhimanyu is still walking and talking fine. Universe is giving them another chance to restart and reboot their life into the reality that both of them desire. But are the willing to take that first difficult step and enter the desired reality is the crossroads

Thank you so much if you read till the end. My thoughts are all over but I will soon try to be more cohesive in my next attempt.
