Ak is neither bechari nor victim nor abla nari. Seriously, what is the problem with her building a happy life with less money?
The whole idea of lead female finding an even more powerful man for support after being ousted by lead male only works if money or power was a point of contention. No one ever thought ak wanted birla house name or money. The only thing they were against is that she is not a doctor and more importantly, that she is too much of a good person. Does stupid good person things. So she found someone who is actually even more of a stupid good person than her and she treats him well and he treats her well and they are happy together.
Being middle class is NOT being a victim. Even if she depends on Nav for support, he agreed to this arrangement. She is studying to be a lawyer and that takes quite a long time while juggling housework, jam business, being a mom, etc. She is successful in her own way, and I don't understand why only money means success.
Finally, she is not depending on nav, they are depending on each other. When she met nav, he was working as a tour guide in someone else's company and living in a tiny rental. They together achieved their own house which is comfortable, their own tour guide business which is working well, and are able to provide a good life for their son.
Ak is proud of her life. Money and status never mattered to her. Even during the first leap with khera who was rich and powerful, she never cared about the lavish life. When she was birla bahu, everyone was embarrassed by her because she wasn't doctor. Now, she is proud of herself and her husband who is a driver. The only one with issues is abhinav who feels like he is out of place amongst all these big people. But ak has never shown even a little embarrassment in her financial situation or her choices.
