I can understand your sympathy for Akshu but the writing is too poor to make her actions convincing. If being rejected does a number on your psyche, how come that number doesn't ring in Arohi's case? Is Abhi the only one who pushed her away? Arohi has done it pretty much their whole life and she is still singing/dancing with her😆
And Akshara isn't the only one who went through rejection and heartbreak in life....Abhi has experienced many versions of it too even before he met Akshara with all the rejection/heartbreak his father brought to his and his mom's life....and after he fell for Akshara, the bazillion times she rejected him and lied to his face.....then abandoned him for a year....these are all forms of rejection too that he has overcome and he still loves her.
So no, writers can't justify her actions simply over saying she felt rejected so her psyche changed into this...she reserves an especially cruel shade for Abhi that she doesn't for anyone else who has hurt her in her life. Abhi is the same in his anger with pretty much everyone he feels lied to him or let him down....but Akshara treats Abhi worse than she treats others who hurt her....it's the double standard in Akshara's case that doesn't allow one to connect to her.....writing is non-existent for her basically.....lol
There's a difference between Abhimanyu and Arohi
Akshara loves Arohi and she never loved Abhimanyu, as RS said she liked the idea of being in love with Abhimanyu, the larger than life romantic relationship every girl dreams of, was provided by Abhimanyu to her
But she never cared about his feelings or his family. The relationship didn't last
