Thanks for the update Manasi.
Naitik does not deserve Akshara. I do hope they will part ways and she finds happiness. Nothing she ever does is appreciated. How can one be happy in a relationship like this? He is just a spoilt , selfish brat who only understands his point of view. Let him rot with this new girl. Only then will he and his family realise Akshara's worth. By then it will be too late. She should educate herself, bring up her child herself ( hope she is preg ) and be independant.
There are many in this forum who feel Naitik was slighted because his gift was not appreciated by Akshara.
In my point of view, in India, marriage means marrying the whole family and the girl makes a lot of adjustments and sacrifices to keep everyone happy. Most men are happy when their mother is kept happy by their wife. Especially in a joint family. I do find Naitik strange because in many ways he is very old fashioned except in his relationship with Akshara. He expects a western outlook.
He does not have the courage to stand up against his family and support Akshara in anything but expects it of her. She is not even being accepted as family.
When his marriage was fixed he should have told his family he wants to live alone with his wife then he can be the only one who is first and last and everything for her. She wont have a nagging, disgruntled mil to please all the time.
