04/05/2014-Both Shlok and Anjali know that Astha is right

Just caught the episode late, and commenting only about Ashlok and NA-Anjai for now because thats where the progress is really.

Anjali calls Astha "Besharam"...which Shlok has said to Astha many times..as in cheap.
But what is Anjali really warning her about? That if Aditi died Astha would have been blamed...
And now that AStha has hurt NA and his dignity and his trust in his friend..Astha has now direclty opposed NA..
For the first time since EBP started...NA has openly accounced that Astha has disaapointed him.
Though she rejected the match , and caused awards ceremony hungama, took away Ashram land, got most of the wedding rituals done her way, meddled about Jyoti...Astha has done many things but today..today for the first time NA spoke about her in the negative publicly.

This is the second time Astha has scared NA with her accurate thinking that Aditi is an imposter.
Just look at NA while AStha said that. He is shocked,,as in there is fear in his eyes.
And Anjali openly reminded all of the impending divorce.Something which she was trying to hide actually.

The whole scene between Ashlok was telling..and very symbolic. Astha is cleaning their bed with her red shawl..as in she is alone trying to clear the path of thier marriage from any diry, with her love.
Shlok comes and tells her she does not need to do it...that he knows when he should do what..and he starts to do the same with her shawl on the bed.
Basically what this meant to me was that while AStha is trying to get to the bottom of Aditi and her relation with Ashlok, while AStha is trying to get to the truth and save Ashlok, Shlok already knows about it, is doing what he can to find out the truth of Aditi...and he knows what he needs to do to keeo Ashlok safe and marriage safe. Both have chosen different paths to the same goal, but Astha makes her path public , and Shlok and Anjali keep telling her not to do so.

Actually today Astha gave hint to Aditi that she is on her trail...she gave unecesary cue to Aditi and NA that she has caught on. NA was looking very shocked at Astha 's insistence that she will get to the bottom of things. She could be in real danger now..only Anjali bought her time saying anyway Astha will leave after divorce.

And the whole thing about Baba that Shlok says..that should make AStha think why is Shlok so blinded about Baba..that if her father believes something is wrong is right..Shlok would also belive so.Shlok talks about Jad se Ukhadna..means anyone going against his father will be uprooted. Inlcuding him...NA's own son...by PARAYI he meant if NA can harm own son that what is Astha to NA...
But yes it did sound bad to AStha and Shlok as usual talks in garbled ways.Astha explains the difference between them as difference between truth and lies. But what she knows is one angle of truth only. Can she deal with all the real truth...of what NA is...will she panic and go away...that is the big fear Shlok has I think.

Wish Shlok could divulge more to AStha and let her know somethings...but why is he not able to trust in her is the question. I do not think Shlok is so dumb that he does not understand what Adti is doing..in fact Shlok and Anjali were standing together..Shlok behind Anjali when Astha talked openly about Aditi being an imposter. I looked like Shlok is standing like a support to his mother in that scene..and as soon as NA questions Anjali about not telling him the truth, Shlok asks AStha to be quiet.

Shlok says to AStha in thier room that because of her one mistake ..and then stops.
Its possibly the punishment Anjali would get...or that all the plans and hardwork Shlok did for so long would be waste if he cannot save Astha..
Or that the news of thier divorce hearing is now out in the open.

Shlok has calmed down a lot though..his shouting has dulled a lot and his anger is much more tamed now...the scene was well executed. Of course Astha has to be hurt..and so hurt someday she will lose faith and love on Shlok. But only after that she may come to know why Shlok did what he did. Because its going to be very hard for her to believe that NA could harm own wife and sons when it comes to his image and control.

NA is thinking that Astha is going to leave after divorce..why is he so sure. He tells jab parso chali jayegi to dekhi jayegi...when she goes then we can think about it. So everyone is thinking Astha will leave...right from Anjali to Shlok to NA to Aditi.
So as per spoliers... AStha will gave them all a shock and will not divorce. Speaking of that...its time for Shlok to start unmasking..AStha has proved her love..and now she is proving her trust in Shlok by refusing to divorce...so its time for Shlok to divulge some things to her and us.

Spoilers also indicate a overtly chipkoo lovey dovey Astha after divorce...though that spoiler left a bitter taste in the mouth because of the way Shlok has been treating her and AStha should be hurt..we can wait for the episode and see if the CVs provide a reason for that behaviour from Astha.Its very disturbing to see Astha throwing herself at him and Shlok being mean and rude to her all the time...hope tables turn soon.

Again, great job by whole team...my request to CVs would be to be careful with Astha and Shlok's characterizations. Please do not dumb Shlok down and make AStha overtly chipkoo to accomodate Aditi track. Already Astha has tolerated battle with Swati...not she need not win Shlok's attention against Aditi.that would be sick. Also Shlok should show audience in some way that he knows what Aditi is upto and is protecting Astha...those files that were passed to Vinayak.
Otherwise...if he so dumb he actually trusts NA and Aditi more and think Astha is just jealous...he loses the spot of being the hero of the show.

nyc post !

both anjali n shlok are trying to cover up for aastha's straight forward-ness which is going to bring her nothing but harm...
after holi shlok did think abt the accidents arent really accidents but a conspiracy ...anjali might hav confided into shlok abt aatha being true ...wenever aditi was being nyc to either astha or shlok anjali was skeptical

well hope dis unmasks the real shlok n anjali to astha

Lovely analysis. Hope all that you say is proven to be the truth.

Nice post Jalpari.

Nice post. I hope you're right, poor aastha

Very nice post..
Actually this whole Aditi scenario just at the nick of divorce time is created to increase the suspense..divorce or no divorce..
Everyone in the Agnihotri house & even Kalindi will think that Astha & Shlok will be divorced..Latest spoilers say that even Shlok will be surprised..this implies that the whole divorce matter is on Astha's shoulders..she is the one to decide..
Shlok though doesnt want to divorce her is leaving everything on her..if she loves him why would she leave..thats why he was angry on Astha for not declaring her love for Shlok to Kalindi..Shlok is not forcing anything..this time Baba's influence is not there..
yeah..Shlok's anger has toned down a lot..Avinash's change of expressions during the entire scene on Saturday was worth watching..👏

Wonderful analysis...I agree with every word of urs and hope that what you say is right. The thing that bothers me the most is that Shlok's character is dumb down so much that he apparently believes Aditi over Astha, whom he knew for such a long time now. Besides, in the last episode when he called her 'parayi' was really hurtful. I felt so angry at him or rather Cvs for making Shlok hurt Astha time and again. But I hope that it is actually not what it seems on both fronts...that Shlok is still the same cunning and shrewd guy he once was and doing and saying things in order to protect Astha. I hope CVs can justify him and his behaviour convincingly.

nice post

👏👏👏
