She further said that she tried her best to control her emotions but couldn't. Aarohi then asks her is that why she decided to run away. Manish gets angry hearing this and asks them to keep quiet. He tells them that he needs time to think over things and asks them to not talk to him in this matter. The girls then try to stop Kairav, but he tells Akshara that because of her one mistake everyone ended up in a mess, and as for Aarohi, he asks her to stop playing the victim or blame Akshara for whatever happened to her.
