Dangerous Views: 14-APR-2014 EBP[DT Note-Page 4]

As promised, I am here with my "Danger"ous View. They did justify Aditi's acts when they said that though Aditi committed a crime she is not a criminal!

Aditi says that Swathi had an accident because of Shlok. How? Probably we get to know that tomorrow. Hoping. She says Swathi is bedridden since the last time she met with Shlok. She wants to punish Shlok by killing Aastha and then him. Okay!

Shlok says that he didn't leave Swathi but its the other way around. Aditi accuses Shlok that he sent money to them to make Swathi leave him. Huh! If Aditi believes that Shlok didn't care for Swathi then why did she try to torture Shlok by raking up Swathi's memories? If he didn't care for Swathi, he won't remember all those things, right?

Then Aditi blabbers on about how Swathi pined away for Shlok after he left her. She became a living corpse because of her unrequited love. Didn't she say before that there was an accident because of which Swathi became like this? Is Swathi living-dead because of accident or because of her heartbreak? She again says that since Shlok loves Aastha, she wants to kill her so that he will also realize how it feels to not be with his true love. Okay!

She was about to shoot Aastha when Shlok saves her and Varad comes in with police at the right time and they nab her. She screams at the top of her lungs saying that the real culprit is Shlok because of whom her sister is wasting away. How?! She asks Aastha what she would do if she was in her place. Aastha says that she would never take extreme steps without knowing the facts. She tells her that she lost the sense to distinguish right from wrong in blind revenge.

The police drag her away as she screams that her sister will die if she is left unattended. Hearing this, Aastha rushes behind them and asks Varad if they can take the complaint against Aditi back. The reason she gave is irritating to the core. She says that Aditi committed a crime but she is not a criminal. Really! Planning murders is not criminal! By this logic, terrorists are also not criminals because they also have a "reason" for their crimes. Did she forget that Aditi tried to kill Shlok as well, not just her? I would have liked it better if Aastha assured Aditi that they will take care of her sister in her absence. Aditi, who was laughing at everyone's plight a few hours ago, is suddenly remorseful of her actions, now that she is caught, and she sheds few tears and asks for Aastha's forgiveness. Okay!

Coming to the important part of the episode, Shlok is pained to see the person he once loved in such a condition. Understandable. After all the accusations from Aditi, he probably feels responsible for her condition. He remembers their last meeting when Swathi tells him that his mother gave her money to stay away from him. He doesn't believe her because she is accusing his mother. Would anyone believe such accusations right away? She breaks up with him by telling him that their relationship has no meaning without trust. In the present, he begs her to forgive him for not trusting her then and he breaks down. She opens her eyes and he assures her that he will not let anything happen to her. He goes on to assure her that he is hers. This is a big turn off for me. What's Aastha's place then?! Oh yeah! She is the "paraayi" whose sole purpose in life is to put a smile on his face. And Shlok's sole purpose in life is to take away all of Aastha's smiles and leave her crying while he makes promises to the dying Swathi. Swathi is not his wife but Aastha is.

Aastha cannot see him in pain and she tries to soothe him by telling him that they will take Swathi home and take care of her and she will be back to normal. Kalindi takes Aastha aside and tries to make her see sense. Aastha tells her that she cannot build her life on someone else's ruins. She reminds Kalindi that she herself taught her that nothing is bigger than humanity. Anjali is moved by Aastha's show of poise and grit.

She asks Niranjan's permission for taking Swathi home. Shlok looks up at her with gratitude. Niranjan who is already uncomfortable seeing Swathi pop up again, is dumbstruck at her question. He looks at Anjali and she reprimands Aastha for giving crazy suggestions. Shlok tells Anjali that he will bring Swathi home and asks Niranjan if he has his permission. Niranjan is really in a tight spot as he cannot go against Shlok. He says that he doesn't have any problem if Aastha doesn't. Shlok already has her unconditional support.

Overall I hated the episode, though I absolutely loved Avinash's performance. We got to know that Niranjan may have a hand in Swathi's accident and Anjali might have been used by him. This is not something new. We have all been assuming this from a long time now. So there is nothing much to talk about in the episode. I feel that the story writers have the propensity to go for the overkill. Swathi story still didn't make any sense to me at all. How did Aditi assume that Shlok is responsible for Swathi's condition? The fact is that Swathi left him and he did not leave her. Not then, not now. Why are they playing Shlok's lack of trust in her like a broken record? And why did Shlok become Swathi's "Tumhara Shlok" again after we were made to believe that he has moved on with Aastha in many ways. He himself said that he once loved Swathi and she is his past. I Accept that its not possible to forget someone you loved once but still "Tumhara Shlok" didn't go down well with me. Swathi stinks like someone dug out a long burried corpse and Aditi stinks like bullshit. And the combined stench is making my head spin. There is one more episode of this. Cherry on top, Aastha saying that Aditi is not a criminal.
