Earning a relation is a reward of Trust. Maintaining the same is the result of sacrifice and strengthening the same is the result of care.
"To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved." -- George MacDonald
Trust is the base of any relationship for it to survive or strengthen. Over the past few days this is what is being emphasized in the show. Where do we see that trust in the relationships of our characters?!
Shlok-Aastha: I will begin with Shlok & Astha, one of my favorite/interesting characters apart from Anjali- NA. Aastha said she loves Shlok whole-heartedly with his flaws,his past and stick to him, want to lead a happy life with him. But does she really trust him? He after all broke her heart, made her crest-fallen, crushed her spirits. Even though that didn't deter her spirit, she cannot share her problems with him. This whole Aditi saga where Shlok did not believe her ..she is doing all the detective work by herself instead of tackling it with his help just because she does not trust him enough to share her problems.
Shlok on the other side during his courtship/fake love drama prior to marriage announced to her that she won his trust for the whole lifetime rather pompously, fails to do so. He actually did not believe her in Jyothi issue too till she brought the proofs and same is the case with this whole Aditi fiasco. He dismisses all her request to believe her as allegations and again calling it as a black mark on his baba's status! She might be impulsive but she doesn't accuse anyone without any proof ..he knows it from past experience, then why does he still not believe her? He might have all the feelings of love: care,concern, protectiveness, attraction, possessiveness but where is trust in this relationship which is an important pillar for love. Now, Aastha might decide to stay back to prove herself as righteous and trustworthy person but what will she earn back? Is this whole Aditi drama brought in to show the trust issues between Aastha-Shlok? I would like to see this spunky lady to walk-off graciously out of this relationship at one point (even if it is a short period) where there is no trust and respect.
Aastha-Kalindi: Where I ended the last part regarding Aastha leaving Shlok comes the next relationship Aastha & Kalindi. Kalindi always had apprehensions on Aastha's relationship/love with Shlok. They were calmed down for a bit after Shlok had displayed his loyalty in Avdhoot's land case and that he will take care of Aastha. But that trust is again broken when she came to know about the reality and that her daughter has been betrayed. She became over-protective as she has seen the mirror image of her past lingering before her and started the divorce proceedings. She even wants to get Aastha married second time just like her but does she trust her daughter enough to lead an independent life?
Astha also never shared her true feelings about Shlok openly with Kalindi either prior to marraige or after it. She did say a little bit during divorce proceedings but did not mention to her Mom what she really wants. When Kalindi came to Agni mansion to take Astha she said she will be come back in 2 days anyways but did not mention to her Mom that she has accepted Shlok for what he is and loves him now too.
Varad-Sojal: Varad is lofty, superficial who lives life through his brother's love life, he tries to set right his brother's love life than to delve into his relationship with Sojal...well according to him its easy to give advice than to follow it. sojal has her insecurities because she needs that attention, love, respect from Varad and Anjali esp. Varad. She is also to be blamed as she does not trust/respect simple being the money matters. She does try from her part to get his attention and try to care for him in her small ways. Now she is also having doubts if he is having an extra marital relationship due to this lack of attention from him.
Jyothi-Sid: Now, this blooming relationship is in the beginning, but how far can Jyothi share her woes with a stranger. Some times strangers, outsiders become our confidants when the family rejects to help; this is what is shown in the case of Jyothi.
NA-Anjali: I dont see any trust here..he just uses her. Anjali on the other hand is wary of him but still complies to fulfill his wishes.
Anjali-her kids: Anjali has failed big time as a mother.. none of her kids have trust on her now period. She only gives importance to her Sahib and kids doesn't matter.
Anjali-Aastha: Now when her kids don't trust her how can Astha trust her! And Anjali seems to have developed some soft corner for Astha but trust..nada! Its a long-long way to go.
