Time now for Ashu to be a man, become AshMan. Let's make a list of the improvements we would like to see in Ashu...and forward them to the manufacturers ( Kamlesh Pandey, Rajan Shahi and Sony). I am making a beginning. Please feel free to add on.
1. While he may have been a stranger to the ways of love, as the senior and more mature partner, it does not befit Ashu to wait for his wife to show the way every time. Can he please be a little more spontaneous in his lovemaking?
2. It is considered a norm that older men pamper their younger wives no end and fulfil their every little desire. Their level of insecurity possibly prompts this behaviour. However, things seem the other way round here. Could we please see Ashu indulging his child-woman a lot more in the future?
3. While Nidhi's consent was sought after he had agreed to Maillka's demands, it can be understood keeping in mind the circumstances. The priority was to save a life even if it meant giving into emotional blackmail. Given that he is well aware of Mallika's past misdeeds and how much she has hurt Nidhi, could he be a little more sensitive on the matter in future and not take arbitrary decisions that could affect their joint future?
4. Can we please see this mature, distinguished doctor tell his wife she was far too talented and smart to be playing cook/nursemaid to him and his soul-mate and that she should resume her career post haste?
5. It was preposterous that a doctor of Ashutosh's stature should tamely give in to Mallika's posturing and take her home with him. She is clearly in need of constant medical care. I recall Nidhi's lines from the day before where she said the doctor has to be heartless at times in the best interest of the patient. Maillka is not just Ashu's friend but a patient at KGH too. Could we see the good doctor applying some bit of his formidable medical knowledge here?
