When the show started Shlok was shown as this manipulative, shrewd fellow with no feelings and only hatred towards love. Well I understand he is bound to change along with time and that true love will transform him and that Astha will make a place in his heart. Her chirpy, bubbly, free-spirited, spunky nature is always liked by him and he eventually gave into her charms. 😛

In between he was shown emotional when Astha left him, that is also understandable. He started compromising himself slowly because he loves Astha very much. She has become his preference, he got a second chance in his life and he don't want to let go off that opportunity!😊

But..but where is that shrewd Shlokie who always gave importance to work! Has his personal life become more important now than his profession? Has his career/work taken a back seat just like his wife.CV's have already dumbed down Shlokie, NA, Anjali badly to accommodate the one-sided character called as Aditi and now are they going to turn him all lovey-dovey now! 😕

Oh..not that I am complaining that he fell in love with Astha, it is meant to be. But I meant the whole declaration of his love could have been subdued or done with keeping his character sketch intact! that's all.There was a tinge of kaminapan outside the house when they got down the car though! Hope they keep it intact ...hope the Cv's are listening! We like that grumpy, grizzly Shlokie who is a little bit rough around the edges...😉
That's my complaint for the day today!

Jia. Perfect post. Couldn't have said it better even if I tried. I feel like throwing a tantrum Shlokie-style at the CVs for changing our Shlokie at the nth hour from grizzly bear to teddy bear. Are they unsure how to script his character keeping in balance all facets of his personality now that he is in love with Aastha?! Being in love can bring out the best in an individual but it doesn't transform your core nature. They need to retain his edginess. His ego is far too massive to be subdued by love alone. Facing the reality of his Baba's true face, would be a more justified way to show Shlok's u-turn, as it would force him to reassess his value system. Possibly that is coming up. But a Shlokie that bends too much to Aastha's romantic whims won't be believable.

nice post jia.
i don't like shlok compromising with his work for his wifey, no matter how much he loves her. it would also be nice to have more tasteful romantic scenes keeping the kaminapan intact, because cheesiness is fake love for many of the viewers.

Agree to all!
I think Shlokie loves Astha shying away hence he is teasing her by the cheesy dialogues.

Thanks Veracity 😊. I too feel like throwing a tantrum today on CV's for changing Shlok overnight! But still I saw some glimpses of his original self even in that romance..there was some kaminapan, power hungry, restlessness still in there; hope they keep those intact. But I want shrewd, manipulative Shlok back!
I think in the rush to move ahead with the story and to show some retread of scenes they are not understanding the fact that they are sabotaging Shlok's character. Hope they realize this soon.
I couldn't relish that ILU scene in particular!
What you said in @bold, couldn't agree more. Baba's true face is valid reason for change in Shlok not now.

Thanks Rekha. Yep Shlok is always shown as career-oriented even though he had used office premise to trap Astha in his game of love. Astha on the other hand never gives importance to work, so he should not compromise with with work for Astha!! Yes to cheesiness on the romance part...me no likie of that part ...the naughtier the better. 😉 as that is Shlok.

Thanks Ashutosh for agreeing 😊
But being cheesy is not Shlokie style at all, it doesn't suit him. Let's see what they show further.
