He didn't need to side with anyone. But he shouldnt have divorced her right then and there. He should have told her to leave and go to Goenkas house so they can get some space to mourn Neil. He should have then thought about things calmly and if he still felt they shouldn't be together, he should have then divorced her. It is plain and simple the fault of his anger at that point.
Second thing is though I recognize that he had other responsibilities and was under way too much stress, he still should have checked up on her instead of believing BP. He knew that Goenkas were bad at caring for Ak and never stood by her.
Likewise even akshara has accepted that she isn't at fault so that would mean there's no point in discussing about her realization as well.
In the whole paragraph regarding what he should have thought or done , he is expected to keep aside the grief of his loved one's deaths, tension regarding his mother's life threatening situation and be considerate towards the person who caused these things in the first place . That's too much for a human being. For him it's always like , whatever he does is never sufficient enough. He has to be calm in dealing with akshara , believe and unbelieve bade papa , go through the web of goenka family members and even a bigger web of what they want.
By the way he was calm in dealing with akshara , that's the reason he offered her the glass of water , but like any other human he has an endurance limit and it was crossed when akshara kept wandering in the space where manjari and birlas were mourning the death of the son whom akshara had recently killed. It leaded to Manjari having attacks as poor lady was not only suffering the pain of losing a grown up son but also enduring the added frustration and helplessness of having the murderer constantly in sight. Akshara was being sheer insensitive and ruthless in practicing her arbitrary whim of staying unbudged in birla mansion whilst the family wanted to grieve their son without the person responsible in sight
This is where he understood that akshara and him needed to separate if he wanted his remaining family to live.
