Saath Nibhaana Sathiya...Oh sorry! this is Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon... Ek Baar Phir.

Aastha has to bring gold ornaments for maghi ganpati puja at her 'temporary' sasural. Aastha decides to not trouble her parents and buy the gold herself. Err...how exactly was she planning to do that? Oh yeah! She owns 50% of her 'temporary' husband's company.

But Sojal decides to not leave a single opportunity to make Aastha's life a hell. She informs poor Avdhoot about the requirement. Out of 'respect' for her 'temporary' sasubai, Aastha lets her 'disrespect' her parents. Poor Avdhoot meets the demand from his daughter's sasural promptly, probably he doesn't think that it's 'temporary'. This was a really touching scene. A lot of parents go out of their way to meet daughter's inlaws demands.

Aastha puts the jewellery near Ganeshji and Jaya as usual, steals it. Then, as usual, poisons Sojal's mind.

Mrs.50% Vs Mr. Bhagvaan scene was cute. Shlok looked really handsome in that maroon shirt. Yayy! Avinash listens to me. Good boy! I'm tired of finding symbolisms in the scenes so I just enjoyed it without thinking.

Sojal decides to put Aastha in a tight spot by making her sleep longer and not wake up early in the morning for puja. She mixes sleeping pills in Aastha's milk but Jaya messes up her plan. Shlok gets the tampered milk instead of Aastha.

In the morning, Aastha enters Shlok's room looking gorgeous and finds him sleeping like a baby. She forgets her purpose for a second and gets lost in Shlokie land. She pulls herself together and tries to wake him up. In the process, Shlok tucks her arm under him and pulls her so that she lands beside him on the bed and 'almost' lands a kiss under his ear. Loved the dholak background music that accompanied the usual tune. Aastha gets frustrated because of all this and douses Shlok in water instead of herself. Isn't she the one who is feeling hot? Anyway, psycho Shlok doesn't push/pin/grab/slap Aastha for waking him up like that. I would/did, if somebody does that to me...I am not a psycho...I think. He just says "what the hell" and "are you mad" and dries himself up with a towel.

Uptan scene, ek baar phir. I didn't mind it. It was really cute. In the first uptan scene, Aastha didn't have the right but still did the uptan happily and Anjali was not happy about it. This time around, Anjali herself orders Aastha to do it but Aastha doesn't want to, though she has a right to. Shlok does it himself without argument. But Aastha pitches in... for baba and sasubai's sake. It was cute how she rubbed uptan on his cheeks. Why did they cut the scene in half?

precap: 'temporary' Sasubai taunts Aastha for bringing fake jewellery for puja. Saath Nibhaana Saathiya...

So did the story move ahead today? NO. I can never like spineless Aastha. Liked two of the Ashlok scenes...they looked beautiful in new clothes. Liked the scene between Avdhoot-Aastha. Didn't hate SoYa too much for some reason. It was a good episode on the whole.
