The subtle manipulation and change in behaviour tells you alot about the kind of character this is and why I have issues with her.
When Abhimanyu got to know about Abhir and wanted to meet Abhir, Akshara didn't allow him to meet Abhir, she always did something to stop him from it, she threatened him saying she'll go to court if he takes Abhir anywhere without her permission when he celebrated Abhir's birthday
The moment he filed for custody case, Akshara's tunes changed as she feared losing custody and suddenly, she started talking about playing fair and allowed Abhimanyu to meet Abhir
When he withheld custody indefinitely again there was a change in her attitude and she took Abhir away from Abhimanyu to Kasauli, both Akshara and Abhinav lied in front of Abhimanyu and others that they have left for a few days but among themselves they spoke about setting up a business and staying in Kasauli, they look righteous in front of others because they lie through their teeth with no remorse or reflection
Again, Akshara didn't allow Abhimanyu to meet Abhir and didn't allow him to go to school, the man had to fight for everything, she was nice to him and allowed him near Abhir only when he agreed to be a party to her lies
Now, when the custody case has reopen, she is back to her fair play and being nice to Abhimanyu
At first, I didn't pay attention to Abhinav's character but he is like Akshara too
When he needs something from Abhimanyu then Abhir is Abhimanyu's and otherwise he gets insecured of Abhir's closeness with Abhimanyu like he was insecure in school and broke Abhir's project
Akshara and Abhinav use the love Abhimanyu has for his son to their advantage and use Abhir as a bait to make him do things as they see fit
I'd anyday have an Abhimanyu around me who is truthful and I am aware of his nature than these two manipulative characters who victimize themselves and use your weakness to their advantage
At the end, Custody case is the only way Abhimanyu would get his rights, law is there to protect people, I don't get since when fighting for your rights makes you a bad person?
One should always keep distance from people like Akshara and Abhinav, watching them on screen makes me extremely uncomfortable
