As the Ganpati festival is celebrated on the show, Abhimanyu and Akshara find themselves working together to help Manjiri (played by Ami Trivedi) overcome her trauma. Their joint efforts lead to a breakthrough, bringing happiness and relief into their lives. Overwhelmed by the positive turn of events, Abhimanyu and Akshara forgot their surroundings and shared an intimate hug.
However, they soon realise and pull away from each other. Mimi and Manish saw them hugging and wondered if Abhimanyu and Akshara were getting close again.
In the upcoming episodes, fans can expect more drama as Abhimanyu’s anxiety and guilt over Manjiri’s accident continue to trouble him. Akshara will comfort him, and he’ll thank her with a warm hug.
