"The basic truth of human condition is that everybody lies. The only variable is about what"
Astha is always used to telling white lies and she feels that there is nothing wrong in telling lies as that is how she is brought up that if you are protecting/ helping someone by telling a simple white lie there is no harm.
In her immaturity, childishness she also defends herself that she has helped Sojal to go visit her Mom who met with an accident. She even justified her actions to a small innocent child that there is nothing wrong in telling lies when its good for others! Really..is that what you teach a small child who is opening her eyes to this world and by teaching such values to a child you mend them in a wrong way 😡. Even Varad supported her for her white lie, what kind of father is he!!
She did not fully understand the repercussions of her lie...till her "sweekruthi samaroh". She saw the bitter stark reality of the relationship of her MIL and FIL. It was a shock of her lifetime when she found out about her dear baba's atrocities and her sasubai's plight! Anjali could have spoken that its not her fault and that Astha lied to her that Sojal is at home, but she did not. In fact she hid the truth and took the blame upon herself; and tolerated the wrath, physical abuse from her husband 😭. Then she tried to put up a fake smile to not spoil the image of her family.
All these being observed by Astha now understood the reality behind the gruff behavior of her Sasubai and that she is only acting according to the wishes of her husband and putting up a false bravado in front of others.

Now will she again lie to Shlok or will she tell him the truth about the reality of his beloved baba whom he respects like a GOD? They just started a new beginning to their lives and Shlok apologized to her for all the anguish he gave her. However, Shlok is also branch of the same tree of Agnihotri clan who also inflicted emotional abuse upon her just because he felt she is the cause of his father's disgrace. Even if she tries to confide with him about the truth he will never believe her as it his Baba in the picture now. I want to see a shrewd Shlok and mature Astha to deal with this situation which can create a big rift between them.
Hoping against hope that Cv's handle this new track sensibly as this is most important part of the story.
A big applause to Geetanjali, Manish 👏again for enacting such scene which was bone-chilling and mind-numbing. Shrenu also did well who got a big blow and who is unable to cope up with it. And superb direction by Waseem.
