Promo Symbolism With Pictures
Beautiful promos from such a deep, provocative, storyline will definitely have well thought out symbolism, and I'd like to share what I've noticed on here!
Breaking the picture - Anshuman has thrown the jar at the family portrait of them, but whose face gets shattered? It's Anshuman's. The jar hits Anshuman's face. Without intending to do so he has hurt himself the most. He has broken apart their family picture, but he's the target. He's the reason for the broken family portrait, and he's also the responsible one for being the family member with the most broken pieces.
The black ink - I know this is done in India (usually in villages) where you apply black colour on someone to shame them. Anshuman has thrown that black color on Paakhi, shaming her for being unfaithful. He has pointed a finger at her character.


Paakhi faces the fire - When you know you're innocent and your husband does not have faith in you - it's harder to hold your head up and be strong, than it is to succumb under pressure. Paakhi looks directly at the fire and says confidently, that she isn't going to give the agnipareeksha. She won't prove her innocence. If she wanted to, she could easily do so - however, she won't. Because she does not believe that she has to prove her innocence to her own husband, someone who ought to know her, someone who should not have pointed a finger at her character in the first place. If he has the audacity to point a finger at her character, then she has the audacity to say no, she won't prove anything to him. Even if she did prove herself innocent, she might be able to restore his faith in her, but that black ink he had thrown at her, no, that would not get erased so easily.

Paakhi throws the pregnancy report into the fire - Paakhi isn't giving the agnipareeksha, but she throws the report in the fire. The positive pregnancy report symbolically gives the agnipareeksha, and it burns to ashes because the positive pregnancy report is impure.
The spilled sindoor beside the mangalsutra - Not only is this Anshuman's test as a husband, it's the test of their marriage. The sindoor has spilled and Paakhi, herself, has removed the mangalsutra. Their marriage is symbolically over, since one of the fundamental parts for any relationship to work out is trust, and if the trust is not there, then their relationship has no value. However, there is still a little bit sindoor in the container, depicting the ounce of hope that still remains.
