Sorry for not writing yesterday. I was busy and then when I got time I was too tired to write. So today I decided to start with yesterday's episode...mainly because there were some parts which might have connections with the past and have relevance for the future...Hope that I do not bore much with my assay. Thanks for posting it now, better late than never, i love to read ur opinion.
Shloke's relationship with Swati and link to Astha- In the morning Shloke found the soot covered black palm prints on his door which was most probably left behind by the late night wandering spectre. He immediately thinks that Astha left it at night and told her to clean it. Isn't this what is happening now? Astha having to remove the black mark on Shloke's psyche left behind by Swati?yes, i thought abt the same seeing the scene This scene also made me wonder that other than the psychological wound, did something else happen? That door is painted white ... Now did Swati say something that has brought him down in other's eye? Then there is also the image conscious Neeranjan who uses the importance of his clean image to manipulate people to get things that he wants. So did something else happen? I don't know why but this scene reminded me of the scene where Neeranjan and Shloke had a heart to heart talk just after Shloke got married to Astha and Shloke told Neeranjan that he knows that Astha should not leave Agnihotri mansion. Also Neeranjan was interested in Shloke getting married to Astha right from the beginning.I think you are right.In other words swati may have left shlok, cheated him and left..this explains a bit the white door and the black mark.. not that i am biased towarsds shlok but i think he wasnt at fault for swati to leave him.. i mean i think he didnt actually hurt her or give her as trong reason to leave him.
Then the sindoor scene. ...unknown to Shloke he was carrying the sindoor in his pocket which by mistake gets thrown on the floor and Shloke's expression is not of anger but shock. The container rolls and lands at Aditi's feet who asks him whether he carries sindoor with him in his pocket. Shloke tells her that he does not know how it entered his pocket. Chipkali starts laughing at him and reminds him that he is a married man now and he should not think about teaching the importance of sindoor to other girls. Shloke marches off to his room and blasts Astha for playing childish games with him and for keeping the sindoor in his pocket. Astha refutes his claims and in this altercation Shloke touches Astha's head and some of the sindoor gets transferred to her forehead. While looking at the mirror, Astha realises that the sindoor is on her forehead and then Shloke drags her away for the party. While being dragged away, Astha sees sindoor scattered on the floor and she looking back at the scattered sindoor while Shloke is dragging her way. Now this night time visitor wanders around in bridal clothes...broken glass bangles and broken mangalsutra were sent to Astha's house so that Shloke and Astha's marriage does not take place...then the sindoor being scattered on the floor... Was Shloke going to get married to Swati? Since the box containing the sindoor was in Shloke's pocket and he was not aware of it and he did not deliberately throw the box on the floor...is it not possible that he is not involved if the marriage plans broke up? I mean Swati might have thought that Shloke is involved but actually he was not involved or even if he was then he did not know what his actions will result in (there was a flashback scene shown before where Swathi was accusing Shloke for being selfish while Shloke was desperately trying to refute her claims). Then Chipkali's sarcastic jab that he cannot teach the importance of sindoor to another girl since he is married now, Shloke walking off in anger and then blaming Astha for keeping the sindoor in his pocket who in turn refutes his charges... Isn't this what happened before? Isn't he blaming Astha for what Swati's incidence has done to him? The way Shloke knocked on Astha's head and the way the sindoor got transferred to her head made me remember the way he got married to Astha. Although Shloke was interested in Astha but it was his anger that ruled his decision regarding the way he got married to him. Shloke does have feeling for Astha, otherwise he won't be jumping to blame her all the time. He does this to another person...his mother. It is only the people to whom he is really emotionally connected to that he behave in this manner and this is a self-protective instinct adopted by him.Thats very correct, love this part of ur analysis..Now regarding the sindoor and swati, yes i also thing that they were to be married coz shlokie from the diary loooked pretty much hooked up on her, and wished to have her forever, as he thought he loved her, but i think he didnt, it was infatuation, anywho, he may have proposed for marriage but someone opposed and that might be neeranjan. shlok doesnt know daddy's real nature so he doesnt know why she left..Then Astha's stunned look at her image with sindoor on her forehead reminded me of her reaction to her marriage after she realised what has exactly happened with her. Also image on the mirror was shown...Astha thinks that the marriage was done on the basis of anger(revenge) but that is just an image that has been shown to her, the truth is hidden and this reminds me off Astha wanting to know why Shloke does not want to divorce her. At the end when Shloke dragged Astha away, she first did not realise sindoor on the floor but then turned her head back and was left staring at it. Is this what she is facing now, the effect of Shloke marriage plans to Swati which are scattered on the floor? Shloke is not interested in looking at the past and he is dragging Astha away but Astha's attention has been caught by it.So she should take his example of looking ahead and forget the past or ponder a bit more on how she ended in this relationship in the first place?
Shloke and Neeranjan- Neeranjan saw Shloke leaving alone and he asked him to take Astha with him. Shloke refused saying that he can manage meeting the potential clients on his own and Neeranjan told him that he knows that he can but the clients will be reassured if both the partners attend the dinner. Neeranjan's manipulation music was being played in the background which indicated that Neeranjan's reasons were just bunch of lies and his main aim is manipulation...for both Shloke and Astha...for Shloke to believe that Astha is needed for the image of the company and for Astha to believe that her presence is of importance. I am wondering whether he was expecting Shloke to tell Astha that he has changed his mind because baba told him to take her along with him. But the interesting part of the scene was how it was captured on camera...it was very shaky and maybe it was taken with the help of mirror. Then both Shloke and Neeranjan got split in two...so is this manipulative relationship on shaky ground now or will be in future (because of Astha)? Also will the hidden Shloke and hidden Neeranjan get separated from how they are projected to others?this is it..this is how i felt watching this scne also..they are coming apart
Shloke and Astha- Astha wakes up to realise that Shloke has covered her with the blanket. Her expression gets soft and then she gets a blasting from Shloke for making his door dirty. She is left confused and a bit hurt. Then later on she chances upon the sight of Shloke tying the cloth around Aditi's face and Chipkali helping him to do it. She watched them with a crestfallen expression. What she did not see was Shloke not wanting to help Aditi and only doing it because no one was around. Shloke saw her watching, looked at her pointedly with a stern face and then walked off. Most probably Astha thought that Shloke is treating her just like some other girl...he covered her with a blanket and now he is helping Chipkali. But no one told him to cover her with a blanket while Chipkali had to do a bit of drama to make him do what she wanted.yes to everything here Later on Astha gets a call from the potential client who asks her whether she is going to attend the dinner party. Astha confirms that she will be coming with Shloke. Later on when she was dressing up...Shloke liked her efforts and complimented her...well not directly but in typical baby bear way so that Astha does not realise that he is becoming soft. He also indirectly told her that he is happy that she is making an effort to look beautiful for his sake.i like his style😃 Now Astha did not get the message and told him that she is not doing this for him but because they are going to the party. Again baby bear's humungous ego got hurt and he reacted. He told her that she is not coming and walked off. Seriously these two need their head knocked against each other. Then he got told by his father that Astha has to go, so he came back to take her but interestingly did not tell her that he is taking her on baba's orders. Earlier he used to use baba's name as an excuse but now it seems that he isn't. Astha's necklace gets entangled and he jumps up to help her. Astha is feeling uncomfortable when he started biting the necklace to clear the mess while baby bear is behaving as if this is something he does regularly but then almost runs from the room. In the corridor he blamed Astha for the delay when it was him and his tantrum that caused this delay. Seriously baby bear you need a whack on your head...but a gentle whack. I do like his head...i wanted to wack him today..yday he was entertaining
Jyoti- Abhay gets to know that Jyoti is pregnant and he also might have realised why Jyoti hid the truth. He looked angry but then went for the softer approach. The aunt was going to get angry but Abhay ignored her and changed the topic of discussion from Jyoti taking pills to the fact that a baby boy is going to be born. The scene ends with the camera focussed on the grills of the window...the cage surrounding Jyoti gets stronger. yes...cvs keep us on waiting for smth to happen..i wish she gets out alive from that cage
