Its really amazing yaar...I always believes that director leaves such hints or symbolism n It was Crystal clear in the epi where niru confronts astha after kavya fancy dress...it had loads of symbolism...so they do concentrate on symbolism...but the interpretation may differ...
And. I dont hav much knowledge about the topic being discussed here...but I want shlok exactly like anji...when it comes to the extent he aware of nirus intentions...
Shlok n anji taking a stand or say betraying him is the ultimate possible climax of this story..
I dont want shlok to confront niru saying...I cant believe uucan stoop this much low...its inappropriate...bcos he aware of the fact...he's wrong and or siding n supporting wrong...thats y his question to astha about loving him even he's in wrong path...after back massage scene...
Lets hope they show something to really understand this shlokie...
