This dialogue said by the random man..the junglee JHAD guy with a fire stick who tries to make Astha run into the jungle with him...this dialgue got me thinking.
AStha and this random Jhad have this conversation..where he insinuates that something must be going on between Shlok and Aditi...so this guy seems to know who Astha referred to when she said husband.
Astha attacks him back with beatings...that Aditi is just a friend and trying to save herself...and Shlok just went along to save them both. At that point...this Jhad guy says that dialogue...
Khud ko bachane ke liye, wo shaadi jaisi umarkaid ki saza khudko sunaiga kya?
Now..most important thing about the shaadi jaisi umar kaid ki saza..is that Shlok also at one point says that to AStha..that he will never let her go, he will keep her in this house under section 302 or something which is section for murder and umarkaid.
So this reference to umar kaid again and again...makes me think..if Astha had anything to do with Swati's untimely death. Maybe unknowingly...could it possible Astha contributed in some way to Swati's death or Shlok and Swati's MU...something that Astha said or did...for which someone has a proof. Is it possible Shlok is trying to protect Astha from someone by marrying her and keeping her in his house..umar kaid ki saza. Or Shlok did something and married Astha to protect himself...
Kuch to ghol hai ...Shlok and Astha's marriage..and the way Shlok hurried to marry her after Astha got the broken bangles...and these dialgues of umar kaid...all point to Shlok or Astha's involvement, maybe involuntarily in some murder or attempt of it.
Comng back to Jhad and Astha in jungle... he laughs her off and accepts her identity as Shlok Agnihotri's wife. I have a feeling this Jhad is going to come back into Shlok AStha's life...he has some valuable info...that Mr Shlok Agnihotri's wife was with him alone in the jungle for a while..and that Astha loves her husband..and is jealous of Aditi...because all these are things he knows.
So
1) He can be a real cheapo and try to blackmail Astha for money knowing that she is a Agnihotri...and NA will fume if this guy goes to media and reports and Agnihotri bahu was in the jungle alone with him.
2) He could be a good guy and come in use as proof later that AStha loves Shlok.
Like an undercover cop or something...since some other cops think Aditi is Mrs Shlok Agnihotri.
3) He could turn out to be THE KARAN..out to have a good time...and when Kalindi makes them meet, he will instantly recognize Astha...
I think Number One option is most likely. This guy can blackmail Astha. for money.to save Agni reputation.
NA might use this to malign Astha and get rid of her!
Shlok on the other hand..will trust Astha completely...and will say so. Same for Anjali..she will support Astha.
There would be some point in having his Jhad character in the screenplay , otherwise they could have simply shown Astha lost for a while.
