From whatever I have seen till now, in many of Akshara’s choices - she is driven by emotions and she thinks deeply only after making the decision. She married Abhinav but later started preparing for law. So she does think of the future and consequences but not at the right time - which keeps messing up things around her.
I agree that her intentions might be good but the way and the timings of her decision-making makes even her right decisions appear wrong. For example if you watch American legal dramas - they say even the right evidence acquired legally is inadmissible in court - so I think it her character keeps functioning in a controversial or grey area - while she tries to do things for the best.(If you yourself start being unfair, you no longer possess the moral high ground to point fingers at others.) And so her actions will always be debatable - right goals but not so right methods/ways.
I have no issues with her moving on but again the narrative they set, Akshara not reaching out to her family for help(if she remained distant with them I could at least understand but she has been in touch with them and came to meet them after leap - the makers to be blamed perhaps for how they brought them together without giving any closure?!). When the nurse admired Abhinav as a father, they could have shown more as to how Akshara slowly started melting towards Abhinav because of his goodness and maybe fell for him and later married him out of love. But the scene where she asks him to be a father and be with her - although he agrees - I just find that funny and idiotic. Like who does that!? (And Abhinav could have gotten both Akshara and Abhir to Kasauli- and made them stay with Neelamma until they fell in love - now that we know how close he is to Muskan and Neelamma - that would have been a better story in my opinion)
I know many would say that legally she had right to choose the father - but if we simply compare the legal validity of actions - Abhimanyu also didn’t break any law by divorcing her. Whatever they both did was legal - but they were still wrong. (I am not going to compare who was more or less wrong) Because regardless of the situation, their actions were unethical or unfair to all involved - even Abhir. Just like Abhimanyu had 6-7 months to go and look for her, Akshara too had 6 years to at least inform just Goenka’s. She should have at least opposed Arohi-Abhimanyu’s alliance as she knew very well that whenever Abhimanyu go to know the truth it would skew his priorities towards Ruhi - for whom Arohi was marrying him. And if she truly felt indifferent - she shouldn’t have said anything in favor of their alliance either. So I do not find her to be very good at managing relationships - or more importantly of the way she tries to balance things. She makes the simplest of things complicated.
Don’t see anything wrong with her career choices though - its not like she was a well established singer before(she sang for someone else) - so she would have had to struggle a lot almost from scratch - and with a kid wouldn’t be easy. And someone who was herself in need of therapy cannot be a therapist to others I guess. Yet she did work hard and give her best in whatever she took up and I think at least that is one of the few things I genuinely like about her.
