In today's episode, when Shlok gets those prank calls from Swathi imposter and his dubious friend Anshul, there was this framed picture of a lone tree in the background. There were other trees to the extreme left of the picture but this one tree was separated from the rest.
Trees endure different seasons and various forces of nature and survive and they provide for various life forms through out their long lives. They take little from the environment and give back manifold. They are a symbol of endurance, renewal, courage, hope, growth, generosity.

Trees grow tall, indicating a higher vision. They have their roots spread out under the ground and their branches in the air, as if grasping the knowledge from the sky as well as the underworld. In ancient cultures, each saint is associated with a tree, e.g., Buddha is linked to Bodhi tree. Trees symbolize knowledge and enlightenment.

In the picture, the tree is lonely. It is not protected by the family of trees and is open to the attacks from various forces, a lightning can strike and burn it to the ground or someone can cut it down. But it is braving it all alone. Shlok too is all alone in his fight. His family doesn't support him. They either pretend to not notice his pain/problem or downplay it. He is vulnerable and someone is trying to affect him psychologically. But they are not succeeding because he is gaining courage day by day. He is gathering information and is trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Hopefully, he will survive it all and come out victorious.

😊that's my take on the shot. please share yours.😊

shlok never let his family specially Anjali to care for him in his difficult times. His pain was so great that niranjan and varad too were not able to do anything. He was left alone in pain. Now astha is understanding him and soon we will see a different shlok

I agree with the lone tree being vulnerable to external forces .
In this case I think Shlok's isolation is voluntary. Maybe the cluster of trees in the picture mean the future. Unity?

Anjali isn't capable of providing care for her kids because Niranjan is always looming over her head. Shlok blames her for his loss of faith in relationships. What caused him to lose faith in family is not yet revealed. So we cannot say that he pushed them away. Is Anjali offering help to Jyothi? If she doesn't help Jyothi, how can we assume that she was there for Shlok when he needed her most? Aastha is helping him heal unknowingly and he is gaining strength.😊

I won't blame Shlok for his voluntary isolation after seeing how Anjali refuses to help Jyothi.
the cluster of trees to the left could mean future unity. Probably Aastha will bring everyone together.
