If we consider ifs there are too many ifs whatif Akshara lost the other child too because of stress given by Abhimanyu and Manjiri but that didn't happen. If that "if" didn't conceptualized in story than the "if" stranger trapped her also didn't. Assumptions not always turn true. Akshara didn't straightaway married stranger. She has seen stranger saving her life, caring for her. What if we consider about story swapping characters of Abhinav and Abhimanyu. Abhinav Birla and Abhimanyu Sharma. Abhinav Birla (Jay) divorced Akshara he and his mother Manjiri blamed Akshara for Neil's death where Abhimanyu Sharma (Harshad) being the stranger who saved her life, her child's life gave them a happy and normal life without blame game & toxicity. Would people react same way? There are so many fictional characters/stories involving girl running away from home and relying on stranger which shouldn't be glorified but same way grieving or non-grieving MIL and husband blaming, hurling insults, harassing and throwing DILs out of their lives in their lowest possible mental and physical state shouldn't also be glorified.
I am going to reply for myself and yes i would have if they were to execute the same storyline the same way. I would have reacted the same way.
It's not about Jay and HC honestly. The execution is poor for me. I can't resonates with Akshara and Abhinav and I can see the redemption of Abhimanyu.
I can say for myself that when I talk i talk about the characters and not the actors
