He has lost trust on women because of his mother...but Aastha is a breath of freash air to him unlike Anjali, she does what she wants and has no inhabitants. The young boy Shlok loved Swati. But today the grown man Shlok loves only Aastha and its in Aastha's hand to bring the truth out about Anjali...
He still hurts as he hates Anjali more today...the bond between a child and mother is one of the most important in the world...how can you be normal if your mother betrays you...
As a mother I now understand...It has nothing to do with Swati...its Anjali...
