Today episode was full of Abhira scenes but as you watch the episode you just see only two individuals without old vibes. They have tried to show the proper Abhira family with Abhir but it looks all facade and there is this big void between them. This to the extent how makers have destroyed OG Abhira. I, as a fan of Abhira, cannot reconnect with them. One thing I am happy about is that Abhi will be able to be with his son till his demise. The only bond that has ever mattered to me, after they have destroyed the couple, is Abhi and Abhir's bond. Not to mention, he will not have any regrets even when he dies because he has tried everything in his capacity to give this relationship a try for Abhir, himself and Ak. He will die along with his junior reminiscing only good memories. That will be his closure.
Abhi has only reminisced the good Abhira memories whereas Ak has remembered tragic memories with two simple happy memories. I think it gives away how Abhi has always treasured his relationship with Ak despite the ordeals. On the other hand, Ak's memories reflect the situations where her relationships have began to an end despite her attempts due to which she is in a dilemma and does not know what is the right thing to do. I wonder if makers have planned a proper closure for her in next gen. One thing is for sure that she will not get the closure in S3 and she will be more in despair when she sees two deaths.
I also love how Abhi does not consider a surname to define the relationship with Abhir and Ak. The inclusion of the three of them for the nameplate is the evidence of that. He always has connected with them through the bond and the emotions not by lineage or marital connection. I admire his unconditional love for Abhir and Ak.
Tomorrow will mark the end of third gen and it has been a roller coaster ride for me even though I have started not too long ago. Whatever anyone says Abhimanyu Birla owned Gen 3. I loved seeing his journey throughout the story rather than Legacy kid, Akshara's.
