After watching tomorrow's precap im confused...astha only wanted to make anjali n jyothi meet..if it was so, i must say it is really risky..or did she want to expose abhay in front of everyone so that NA has no way other than kick abhay out of agnihotri mansion...?

to me, aastha is a dishonest, manipulative, insensitive, self important and self-righteous person. thats what she is coming across as in the current track.

i don't understand this negativity and positivity thing. i say what i feel. i was just stating my opinion of aastha in the last two weeks and yes i am annoyed with her portrayal these days. i think you two took my opinion of aastha too personally. here is my POV if you care to understand.

to me, its about sticking to the original characters. aastha is originally flawed person. she is willful but she was also sensitive to others feelings. she was not a manipulative person. though she lies sometimes, she was honest to herself. she stayed with shlok because she loves him. she could not lie to herself and run away from truth. i liked that honesty in her.

if she did all this lying, tricking and getting the birthday party arranged before knowing about anjali's truth, that would have been alright but now it looks really insensitive because anjali is actually not happy because of the party. aastha's main aim should be making anjali happy and not make her die of fear. she is hiding jyothi's whereabouts from her brothers. how does that make sense? and she dangles jyothi as a carrot in front of shlok to get what she wants. anjali doesn't want this bday party actually because she is scared of what she is about to face when NA comes to know of this. it would have been more sensible if she would try to bridge the gap between mother and son by making him wish his mother on her bday instead of making their lives a public spectacle in front of the whole society. anjali clearly told aastha not to make a tamasha of her life in front of everyone. do anjali's wishes matter to aastha at all? how is this helping anjali? is this the right approach to deal with an abuse victim? recently she told kavya that its okay to lie. i am irritated with aastha because they are portraying her flaws as virtues and she is rubbing her favors on jyothi's and shlok's face all the time and demanding them that they do her bidding. she is not likeable to me anymore.

coming to shlok, he is a manipulative, shrewd, emotional guy. he should act that way. not like this spineless, brainless, emotionless person we are seeing in the last two weeks. i don't think i should compare shlok and aastha and say that shlok did all these things to aastha, so aastha can do whatever she wants with him and his family. i don't understand that logic. they should actually highlight how his behavior on SR scarred aastha and make him feel guilty about it. is aastha taking a revenge for what shlok did to her? then how is this a love story? my POV.
