What i would love, and bless the day i ever see it on ITV, is seeing a girl walk away from true love for stability and companionship with someone she loves deeply but not in the you make my heart race and mind spin sort of way. Where they would chose the deep yet mature love that makes you feel calm, steady and better about yourself.
I feel like what Abhimanyu and Akshara had was this junooni sort of ishq where you begin to sort of worship love but in this case, this feeling of love came without the purity and selflessness of it where you never hurt your partner intentionally.
It just feels very superficial to me. I remember reading an article some time ago about how people believe chemistry indicates true love and jump into relationships thinking this is it. In reality, it's just that people feel adrenalin high with one another, and they love that feeling, it's an addictive high, but without a deeper, more substantial connection, without the ability to remain in peace as individuals, it becomes toxic. Because you're dependent on constantly feeling that high, without it you feel like you're missing something when in reality, you're just feeling normal.
True love is all nice to hear, but it's painful to live a lot of the time. It tests you and exhausts you. It isn't always meant to last. Many people eventually choose the person who makes them feel more stable and steady, and they aren't less for making that choice. It doesn't make their love for the other person any less real or valuable.
I'd love to see someone choosing the latter, especially Akshara, in this show and for writers to show Abhinav as her end partner, where they build their relationship the same way OG couple did but they won't. It would be more interesting to me instead of watching Abhimanyu and Akashara, who are unfortunately written like most ITV couples now. They are written to be toxic so our arguments are essentially useless. They are everything that their writers have written them to be and it's just bad writing.
Why isn't television showing how to make safe and healthy relationships? How to respect and grow with your spouse. No matter what channel you turn on, it's all the same regressive and toxic sort of junk.
And i think fans almost blindly defend characters because of the actors who play them or the established ships. Not every pair who give the made-for-each-other vibes has to be end game. They can show how healthy and safe love can be with a different pairing and how it's worth it to choose a relationship that is balanced instead of one that makes you feel extremely high or extremely low and constantly exhausts you.
