Great write up Jonee,I liked today's epi..it was not intense but has lot of Ashlok moments in it."Astha's Confidence": Astha is growing smarter in terms with dealing with Shlok. She defied him when he taps his finger at dining table indicating to serve food, that was very rude of him. But what bothered me is when she chose to do household chores rather than going to office. I liked how she dealt with the staff during the meeting. She seems to have scored some brownie points here from them. But has her main goal shifted to impressing sasubai now? Her priority has to be Shlokie, not chores; but that is what is irritating him and probably she understands it by this time?!The way Shlokie keeps coming to her room again and again is funny. He just can't stay away from her. He does kinda help her by calling the staff to home itself to get the paperwork done. Is Shlokie able to understand the fact that she is slowly distancing herself from him where as he is the one yearning for her love now? It showed in the beads falling scene and also the pari-wali story, he has those feelings for her which he trying to suppress so hard. I loved the beads scene. His guilt was clearly shown when Astha told her story kinda like beauty and beast. He again accuses her that she is Akdu too, just to satisfy his ego.The last scene where Shlok comes to Astha to take Kavya away was so picture perfect..just like a complete family.Kavya- the poor child gets a timeout from her Mom(no food ie.,), she is craving for that motherly love which is now finding it in her chachi. And Sojal is not understanding what she is losing due to her hatred towards Astha. She is losing the only innocent love that she has in her life ie., of her daughter. I am glad they showed some love from Sojal again to her child while she is sleeping.Loved the acting of Shrenu-Avi and Shalmalee, Grace today. 👏
ASthak, I will write why Astha chose to work at home..when she saw Sasubai working...and its only my POV...could be wrong.
AStha does not respect Shlok but she respects NA and Anjali as elders and as her parents in law...again its the concept of indian marriages being a marriage between two families.
Others need not be drawn into spousal conflict . Astha basically wants to be polite and dutiful to everyone else in the family...
She is brought up to respect elders especially when she sees Sasuma working physically, its rude in her terms to just leave and go...She does make an attempt but comes back...because its not right to make the elderly do that physical work when younger and able generation is there...
Frankly nothing to do with Sasubai or impressing Anjali...even if it was an unkown unrelated elderly stranger, AStha would have chosen to help..and Anjali has come to know this is the way to deal with AStha ..and not by putting rules on her.
This is again my POV..onnly 😊
