I'm posting my thoughts on today's episode here. My view may not always be pleasant and I don't want to spoil anyone's mood. But at the same time I value my freedom very much. So I decided to post a warning sign, for people who stumble upon this post, so that they know what to expect.
I'll post one of these symbols on top of my view on the episode everyday. So that people with delicate constitutions can avoid strong ones and read only pleasant ones
Danger Caution Pleasant

A lot happened in the episode but the most important thing for me is whether Shlok trusts Aastha or not. I tried to understand what is going on in Shlok's mind with his expressions during the whole drama.
1. When Aastha revealed that its Aditi who was behind all those accidents, Shlok's expression was of shock and disbelief. So he didn't doubt Aditi.
2. When Aditi says that she doesn't understand why Aastha was making all those allegations on her, Shlok looks at her...mmm... what does that expression mean?! May be irritated, but don't know at whom. I'm guessing that he was irritated at the whole situation😕
3. When Aditi asks Aastha what she was trying to avenge by shaming her, Shlok turns his face away as if he can't wait for this drama to get over.
4. When Aastha says that Aditi destroyed the memory card from the camera because she fears getting caught, Shlok has a surprised look on his face.
5. When Aditi says that Aastha herself destroyed the card because she didn't want to show the close moments between her and Shlok to Aditi, Shlok turns his face away again. Was he embarrassed or was he annoyed or both? Probably both at Aastha. But there weren't any close moments between them. Did he think of that? I'm not sure about that from his expression. By the way, who snatches someone else's camera to view their sex tapes😲?
6. When Aditi alleges that Aastha told her not to come between her and Shlok, he makes that face. What does that mean? Looks like he doesn't believe what Aditi is saying, right? I'll assume that. He makes a similar face when Aditi says that she values relationships more than feelings.
7. When Aditi says that she doesn't understand why Aastha is behaving this way, Shlok again looks at her like he too doesn't believe her crocodile tears, just like Aastha.
8. Aditi tells about how Aastha went to Anjali to learn to sew the button and Shlok looked like he understood something. Probably he understood that Aastha is possessive about him. Or may be there is something more.
9. Aditi says that she wanted to go away with her dad but they(Niranjan) wanted her to stay and Shlok looked like he was in a fix.
10. Shlok and Anjali tell Aastha to say sorry to Aditi as she made a mistake by insulting their guest. Aastha fights back saying she didn't make any mistake and she won't apologize. Shlok narrows his eyes but his face doesn't seem angry. He had this soft expression on his face like he was impressed with her feisty attitude.
11. Aastha says that she will not give up until she exposes Aditi's true nature to everyone and she walks away. Shlok was impressed again.
12. Anjali says that Aastha made a mistake by insulting Aditi because Niranjan will feel bad if he comes to know of it. Shlok was angry hearing this and he rushes for their room to confront Aastha.
After all this analyzing, I felt that Shlok doesn't trust Aditi though he didn't doubt her involvement in the accidents before. He seemed to believe all that Aastha said about Aditi but he didn't like it that she confronted Niranjan's guest like this without proper proof. He liked that Aastha wanted to prove her claims but at the same time was not happy about the possibility of causing Niranjan any discomfort regarding this issue.
Argument in their bedroom:
Aastha is pacing about in their room, telling herself that she has to talk to Shlok at any cost and make him understand that Aditi is not what she appears to be. So she thinks that Shlok doesn't trust her. She also believes that Shlok won't even try to understand what she is trying to say.
Shlok enters the room and the first thing he says is that she doesn't ever think before acting and makes a spectacle of herself. He asks her if she is aware that her image will be maligned because of what she did with Aditi.
Looks like Aastha didn't comprehend what Shlok was trying to say. Was he speaking in an alien tongue? She just keeps on saying what she has on mind, asking him to trust her and not trust Aditi.
She tells him that she did everything for his sake and if anything ever happens to him she won't be able to live. When the lives of people she loves are in danger, she acts impulsively without thinking and ends up causing more damage.
Shlok is really irritated hearing this. He tells her to stop over-reacting. He believes that people learn to live just fine no matter how bad the going gets. He is true actually. Most of us don't wallow in our losses and move on hoping for better times in future. But these filmy dialogues, as he calls them, aren't supposed to be taken literally. They are just a means for people in your life to tell you how much your presence is appreciated in their life and how much they value you. Shlok has developed a very cynical/practical approach to love as well. Doesn't that spoil the fun?! Poor fellow!
He tells her that the way she dealt with Aditi was wrong as she was their guest. Agree with him. Aastha begs him to think about why Aditi is trying to kill her. Shlok shouts that she should think about that because she had the misconception, not him.😕This is where my confusion started. Aastha begs him to trust her but he makes an irritated face and says "I don't care"😕
Aastha goes tangential from here. She asks him if he doesn't care whether she lives or dies. She asks him whether he cares about she staying with him or not. She presses him about the matter and he, being angry and not in the right frame of mind, says that he doesn't care. She also, disappointed at not being trusted and not in the right frame of mind, thinks that he means what he said. She leaves saying that he broke her dreams before too and now he did it one more time. Shlok comes to his senses and realizes that he hurt her but doesn't do anything about it.
By the end of it all, I'm as confused as I was when I started analyzing these scenes. During the living room cat fight, I thought Shlok trusts Aastha and doesn't trust Aditi. But in their bedroom argument, he said that Aastha has the misconception that Aditi is trying to kill her. So I'm back to square one. Does Shlok trust Aastha or not?!
Varad Sojal scene was good with a little humorous touch. It would be nice to keep it that way mostly. Also liked the Jyothi Sid scenes for their lightheartedness and simplicity. But I failed to understand Shlok, who is the heart of the story. My request to whoever is responsible, to clear the confusion for dumbos like me. Pretty please!🤔
