Shlok manages to get Aastha off the horse and they roll down the slope into a ditch and fall unconscious still holding each other's hands.
So Vinayak is an artist, not a businessman. Just like Varad, he is not interested in joining the family business. Of all the Agnihotri men, only Shlok is the hope for Niranjan to keep the traditions of Agnihotri family alive. He is very attached to Shlok and he will go mad if something happens to him. He was so confident that whatever he planned for his favorite baccha on his honeymoon will get him his complete devotion once again. His over-confidence is going to be his downfall. The more he tries to manipulate people around him, the more he loses their respect. Though he acts so confident, he constantly needs Anjali's reassurances that everything will be fine. He needed that today too, when the news of the accident reached him. He commands respect in the family and outside because Anjali loves him and protects his image. The day Anjali decides to leave him, he will be like how Abhay is now, powerless and broke.
The evil forces, Abhay, Sulbha, Niranjan and Sojal are soon going bring each other down. As they lost the source of their food, the mice Abhay and Sulbha started fighting with each other and are counting one another's mistakes. Now since they are getting desperate for money, Abhay might start blackmailing Sojal for money. If you corner a cat too much, it will fight back. Sojal is that cat and she might be forced to expose Abhay's involvement in IT raid and Avdhoot case. She is the only one who knows about this. Wonder who will draw the snake Niranjan out? Probably he will be lured out by the mice, Abhay and Sulbha. I have a feeling that they know something about Niranjan.
Sojal is dressed to seduce Varad. He notices that but why doesn't he pay any compliment? He instantly tries to run away. Sojal somehow manages to get hold of him and tells him her wish of having a son, who will cure everything that is going wrong in her life. If she gives birth to a son, she will get some respect in the house and that means Kavya also gets respect and also Kavya will have a brother to take care of her all her life. She doesn't realize that she cannot make sure that they have son. Varad is right when he tells her to not mess up her head with these thoughts that Anjali sowed. He tells her that Kavya is everything for him and he doesn't want more kids. That's so sweet of him to love Kavya so much but I don't understand why he doesn't think about what Sojal wishes? Shouldn't he take her wishes into consideration before he decides to not have anymore kids? He goes to his mother and tells her off for putting these ideas into Sojal's head. But as always, she doesn't try to understand him and parrots Niranjan wishes.
Even Vinayak tries to tell him to consider having another child. There is that lone tree portrait in the background for Varad this time. He says, everyone wants something from him but nobody cares about what he wants. Vinayak tries to tell him that though Varad thinks that Sojal is not very capable of taking care of their children, there are others in the family who can help her. Looks like Varad doesn't want Kavya to grow up like they did. Kids need proper role models growing up and Sojal or anyone in that house don't provide that. He doesn't want another kid to suffer in that house. Vinayak asks him, if anything else is on his mind but Varad just walks away saying he won't understand. By the way, he cuts a call when he is angry at his mother and tells the person on the other side to not call him when he is at home. Who is this person? Is Varad having an affair? Is it the financial burden of maintaining two homes the reason why he doesn't want more kids?
Varad gets the news of the accident and he is shaken. He truly loves his brother very much. So does everyone in the family, though it is dysfuntional. Even Sojal, who is always jealous of the special treatment Aastha and Shlok get, doesn't feel happy that they met with an accident. Varad assures Niranjan that he will bring Shlok and Aastha back safely and leaves for Goa. Niranjan is on the verge of a mental breakdown. They all come together in the time of crisis and try to support each other. That's what Anjali tells Kalindi, when she accuses them that they don't care about Aastha's wellbeing and only care about Shlok.
Jyothi organizes Sid's room and for the first time in her life probably, she gets a thanks for her work. Sid tries to cheer her up but Jyothi has caged her emotions and is not letting herself feel anything, neither pain nor happiness. He takes it on himself to make her normal, like Aastha is working on Shlok😊.
Loved the episode but felt that there wasn't enough Ashlok😃. Hopefully we will get some romance tomorrow😳.
