Part 2 -
Secondly, Ik they're tryin to sell Dr. Birla's pain & dilemma hard but apologies to writers couldn't connect to him at all. There was somewhat 10 min long scene of his today & I couldn't figure out what he wanted. He said "I thot the court would rule in favour of Akshnav", but then went on about "dil-dhadkan" đ€·đ»ââïž...
This chitt bhi meri patt bhi meri is my issue with this guy. When will he understand actions n choices have consequences.!
BP was indeed wrong & impulsive in proposing custody, but so was his maa. Not telling her to stop custody was his choice. Court decision was ultimately going to devastate one side. If not Akshnav, then he would've faced the receiving end of the verdict. Knowing well what approaching the court meant going there was his choice.
I'm not sayin Akshnav aren't stupid to stop this nonsense & go against the so-called elders for the welfare of their child.. but jaise bhi sahi they accepted their defeat & went home.
Manju accepted their win & despite feeling mildly bad, rightly said that they couldn't ease the losing party's pain & took her weirdly acting son away from there too. She dint feel any need to take the moral high ground for the world to see. Her stand was clear.. she as a mother was fighting for her son's happiness & haq.
But but Dr. Birla..
He has to do 2 naav ki sawari always.
Firstly he'll make a decision, then when the consequences come in front of him he'll make a long face & act distressed all the time. No change in him from past yrs & mistakes.
Itna hi bura lag raha tha to don't take Abhir.
"Kis haq se call karu Akshara ko".. (What haq & what was that he could've said that would ease the pain of grieving parents?)... I was like kuch mat kariye ap bas baith ke figure out kariye how'll you handle Abhir away from his parents since he knows the child clearly doesn't want to stay away from them.
Ik this is an attempt at ww/ckt growth or whatever.. but this approach is makin the ckt look even worse. Instead of generating sympathy this makes him come across as someone who either has no idea or will to face the consequences of his choices.
(PS this is my opinion based on what's been shown in the episodes. If I'm in anyway breaking forum rules by writing my thoughts on these fictional characters alone, mods kindly do let me know.)
