I was waiting with bated breath for 6 pm to arrive as I was very keen to know why Anjali stopped Aastha y'day that was shown in the precap. When Aastha refused to leave the AM, stating that she had every right to stay there as she was a wife and a bahu of the agnihotri family and that no one, not even her husband and her baba could make her leave, left me stunned. 😲😲😲
Aastha told a few home truths even though she was deeply hurt, wounded, heartbroken by the words her Pathidev uttered, leaving her in tears but NOT BROKEN IN MIND NOR IN SPIRIT. ATTA GIRL😃😃😃. SHOW THEM WHAT YOU ARE MADE OF. By stopping Shlok, by grabbing the very hand that was raised to deliver a slap to her, she sent a very strong message to Anjali and Sojal who were present with her in NA's BR, don't take things lying down, stand up for yourself as no one will come to your rescue, no one will speak on your behalf and don't take nonsense from your husband who should accord you the respect you deserve and not be spoken to like a slave or a doormat. Hope Sojal picked up the hints and tips that Aastha was dropping and Anjali certainly caught them. She also caught the byplay between NA and Aastha and knew what was going on in her Saheb's evil mind, as he was cocksure of his victory and had crowed over it to her.
Shlok who accepted Aastha's refusal to vacate the AM with alacrity went to the storeroom and found a huge coil of rope that WAS JUST WAITING FOR HIM TO COME AND TAKE IT, ALONG WITH SOME HOOKS AND A HAMMER. He was glad to have biwi in the same house as him, under his watchful eyes and made haste to get the rope before she could change her mind about staying at AM. He fixed the rope at two ends and then turned around and told AAStha very rudely that she had only 5 minutes to get her stuff and he would have no trouble in getting RID of them if she did not comply. Aastha though in shock at the recent and disturbing developments that hurt her immeasurably, told Shlok to talk to her with respect as she was his wife, his other half after all. Shlok did speak to her like the lowliest and veritable worm and for a moment was so mad at him. 😡
Baba meanwhile made his arrival leaning on the arms of his elder son Varad who had asked him to stop Shlok from dividing the house as he would only listen to him. NA thinking to himself that he had to enact a drama again in order to make Shlok go ahead with his decision of dividing the house into two and that Shlok for once should refuse to listen to him, which he did state very explicitly when baba came on the scene. On being reminded again of the time she had left to pick her stuff, Aastha makes good her exit and goes to her BR where she recalls the wonderful times she spent there with her pathidev chief among them being during the Mahiya song (male version), the morning saree pleating, their marriage at AM when he snuck into her room and she gave him a kiss and the grand gesture and displays of LOVE when she came to apply UPTAN on Shlok for the first time after their temple wedding. She cried her heart out looking at their wedding picture and then hugging it tightly to her. A good cry helps to vent out the pain, anger and other varying emotions and AAstha became composed once more and set about packing her clothes.⭐️⭐️⭐️
Varad came and tried to reason with her and then declared that he was on her side and she was his sister, to which Aastha was overwhelmed and asked him to help and hold her Shlok for her, as he needed him more than her, She WAS VERY STRONG TOO AND WOULD NOT BREAK OR FALL APART THAT EASILY. IT WAS THIS VERY QUALITY OF HERS THAT DREW SHLOK TO HER IN THE VERY FIRST PLACE, WHY HE WAS DETERMINED, HELLBENT ON HAVING HER AS HIS DHARAMPATNI APART FROM HIS ATTRACTION AND LOVE FOR HER. SHE WOULD STAY AND FIGHT FOR RIGHTS, BE IT HER OWN OR FOR OTHERS OR MOTIVATE AND SUPPORT DHARMA ALWAYS. AS KRISHNA UTTERED A FEW WHITE LIES ALONG THE WAY IN MAHABHARATA FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF MANKIND, SO DID AASTHA FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF THE AGNIHOTRI PARIVAR. 👏
SHLOK BARGES IN AND AGAIN SPEAKS TO HER RUDELY AND FLINGS HER CLOTHES FROM HER CLOSET ONTO THE BED AND ASKS HER TO TAKE EVERYHTING AND LEAVE AS HER 5 MTS WAS UP. SHE FACES HIM WITH TEAR FILLED EYES AND TELLS HIM THAT SHE WAS VERY PROUD OF HIM, OF WHAT HE HAD DONE TO HER, THE WAY HE HAS TREATED HER AND THAT SHE WOULD NEVER EVER HAVE DONE THAT TO HIM, EVEN IN HER WILDEST DREAMS OR IMAGINATION. EBP, SHE DISPLAYS HER SPIRIT, HER PLUCK, HER EGO, HER ANGER BY GOING TO SHLOK'S CLOSET AND FLINGING HIS CLOTHES OUT AS SHE WAS THE ONE TO ARRANGE THEM ACCORDING TO HER WISHES AND TELLS HIM THAT NOW HIS ROOM BELONGS ONLY TO HIM AND HE CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS, ARRANGE HIS LIFE, HIS CLOSET THE WAY HE WANTS TO. SHE THROWS A CHALLENGE AT HIM AS TO HOW HE WOULD ERASE HER MEMORIES FROM HIS HEART, MIND AND THEIR ROOM AS EVERY LITTLE THING WOULD REMIND HIM OF HER, HER PRESENCE, HER ESSENCE. SHE DOES THROW THEIR WEDDING PICTURE INTO HER SUITCASE THOUGH. WHILE DEPARTING SHE GIVES HIM A LOOK FILLED WITH PAIN, LOVE AND DISBELIEF, HOPING FOR A WORD OR GESTURE FROM HIM THAT HE HAS CHANGED HIS MIND ABOUT HER, THE PARTITION, BUT NO SUCH THING WAS FORTHCOMING FROM HER PATHIDEV AND SHE WALKS AWAY WITH HER HEAD HELD HIGH, PROUDLY LIKE A QUEEN. 👏
SHLOK DOES NOT DARE TO LOOK AT HIS WIFEY'S TEAR FILLED EYES AND THAT WILL BE HIS UNDOING. HE IS HOLDING ONTO HIS COMPOSURE BY A THREAD, HIS FACADE CRACKED WHEN HE TURNED TO LOOK AT HER AS SHE LEFT HIS ROOM, HIS LIFE FOR NOW. HE IS DOING THIS TO HER DELIBERATELY, TO EXPOSE BABA??????, BRING ABOUT A CHANGE IN HIS AYI, MRS.AGNIHOTRI, TO STAND UP FOR HERSELF. VARAD SAYS THAT MAYBE AASTHA WAS MISTAKEN ABOUT BABA AND SHE SAYS THAT TIME WILL BE THE JUDGE OF WHO IS RIGHT OR WRONG. SHLOK'S BEHAVIOUR INDICATED THAT HE KNOWS ABOUT HIS BABA, WHAT AND HOW MUCH, STILL VERY MUCH IN THE DARK. SHE IS HIS WEAPON, HIS BRAHMASTRA, THAT HE HAS UTILIZED TO ANNHILATE THE EVIL BY ITS ROOTS. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
WHEN SHE GOES DOWN, NA CANNOT HELP BUT BRAG ABOUT HIS DEED, HOW HE BROUGHT ABOUT THEIR SEPARATION, HE CROWED OVER HIS PROMISE THAT HE FULFILLED AND THAT SHE UNDERESTIMATED HIM AND HIS ABILITIES. HE ALSO TOUTED OVER THE DVD, THAT PAWAR CALLED HIM ONCE AASTHA MADE HER CALL AND HE PROMISED HIM 3 TIMES HE AMOUNT THAT SHE WAS TO GIVE HIM. THEN THE CLINCHER THAT WAS DELIVERED VERY SOFTLY - PAWAR WAS NO MORE; HE HAD EXPIRED IN AN ACCIDENT😲. AASTHA IS SHOCKED BY HIS MALEVOLENCE AND RUTHLESSNESS, DISGUST WARRING WITH FEAR FOR A SECOND ON HER FACE, WHEN SHE SPOTS SHLOK COMING DOWN, TOWARDS THEM.
WHERE DID SHLOK GO AFTER AASTHA LEFT, TO THE WASHROOM, AS HE WAS STILL IN THE SAME CLOTHES WHEN HE CAME DOWN? HE NOTED INTENTLY THAT BABA WAS TALIKG TO BIWI, WITH FOLDED HANDS AND NA QUICKLY MANIPULATED THE WORDS EBP. ANJALI WAS KEENLY NOTING NA'S ENTIRE ATTITUDE AND WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF BAPPA, PRAYING FOR A SOLUTION, FOR THIS HORROR TO STOP, SEEMS TO HAVE ARRIVED AT A CONCLUSION WHEN SHE SAW THE WAY HER SAHEB TRANSFORMED HIMSELF DURING SHLOK'S PRESENCE. SOYA WERE IN DISBELIEF, COULD NOT QUITE RUB THEIR HANDS IN GLEE BUT WANTED TO.
SHLOK TELLS AASTHA THAT BOTH OF THEM, HIMSELF N BABA WERE OLDER IN AGE AND RELATION TO HER AND THAT SHE IS TREADING THE WRONG PATH, WILL BE LEFT TOTALLY ALONE AND ISOLATED IN HER PART OF THE HOUSE, SEEMS TO HAVE STRUCK A CHORD IN ANJALI'S HEART AND SHE WAS JOLTED INTO AWARENESS OF WHAT WAS OCCURRING IN FRONT OF HER, THAT SHE HAD THE POWER TO ACT. HER POSITION WAS SIMILAR TO WHAT SHLOK PRONOUNCED TO AASTHA, SHE WAS LIVING IT, ISOLATED AND ALONE, AWAY FROM THE LOVE OF HER CHILDREN, A BARREN AND SOLITARY EXISTENCE. UNTIL AASTHA CAME INTO HER LIFE LIKE A WHIFF OF FRESH AIR, MELTED THE ICE AROUND HER HEART, GAVE HER LOVE, AWAKENED THE MATERNAL LOVE THAT WAS DORMANT FOR SO LONG AND STOOD BY HER AND WHOSE HAPPINESS AND SMILES MATTERED TO VERY MUCH. SHE COULD NOT STAY SILENT AND MUTE ANY LONGER, SPURRED INTO ACTION BY THE WORDS OF HER SON SHLOK TO AASTHA, BUT MAYBE WAS FOR HER TOO, HER PREDICAMENT ALL THESE YEARS.
MY DAILY DOSE OF TAALIYAN, TAALIYAN GOES TO THREEE PEOPLE TODAY, AASTHA, ANJALI AND NIRANJAN, WHO SIMPLY SHONE IN THEIR ROLES, THEIR EXPRESSIONS WERE SUPERB AND THEIR LINES DELIVERED FLAWLESSLY. TAKE A BOW. 👏
ANJALI, EMBOLDENED BY AASTHA'S STAND STOPS HER BY HOLDING HER ARM AND THEN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN LIVING MEMORY OF HER KIDS, ANNOUNCES THAT AASTHA IS NOT ALONE, SHE IS WITH HER. TO THE IMPOTENT RAGE BUILDING UP IN HER SAHEB, STUNNED GAZE OF HER SON AND HIS WIFE, SHE FURTHER WENT ON TO SAY THAT HER SAHEB IS WRONG AND WAS WRONG. THAT IS WAS AASTHA WHO WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO SPOKE THE TRUTH, THE DHARMA OF THE HOUSE. THE SHOT OF THE 3 OF THEM, ANJALI, NA AND SHLOK IN A ROW WAS BRILLIANTLY CAPTURED AND ALL OF THEM HAD VARYING EXPRESSIONS, ANJALI DETERMINED AND FIERCELY PREOTECTIVE, NA OF ANGER AND IMPOTENT RAGE, FISTS CURLING AS HE COULD NOT DELIVER A BLOW TO HER AND SHLOK'S OF STUPEFACTION AND AMAZEMENT THAT HIS AYI TOOK SUCH A STAND. WASN'T THIS WHAT HE WANTED, FIGHTING FOR??????? AASTHA'S SIGH OF RELIEF AND GRATITUDE THAT HER AYI COULD STAND UP AGAINST HER ABUSIVE SAHEB. SOYA COULD NOT, COULD NOT COMPREHEND WHAT WAS HAPPENING, VARAD SILENTLY FOLLOWING ALL THEIR WORDS.
NA'S backbone has been broken, Anjali is now with AAstha. When Kaka returns from his trip, he will also join his vahini and AAstha. Varad will also go with them. IT is going to be NA, Shlok and Soya for a while. When Mansi's exposed wonder what stand Sojal will take. DHARMA VS ADHARMA. THE GAUNTLET HAS BEEN THROWN TO THE GROUND, CHALLENGE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED. NA WILL TRY TO HARM AASTHA FOR SURE, THAT IS WHEN SHLOK WILL REALIZE HIS BABA'S UGLY TRUTH. HE MAY ALSO COME ACROSS THE SECRET SAFE WITH HIS BLACK BOOKS, WITH EVIDENCE OF HIS DOINGS SO FAR. AM VERY EXCITED AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW TRACK.
AASTHA AND ANJALI ON THE SAME SIDE, HAS MADE MY DAY AND YOURS TOO. GREAT MOVE BY THE CV'S TO ENGAGE OUR INTERESTS AND ENSURE THAT WE ARE HOOKED LINE AND SINKER TO THE SHOW. ⭐️
AGAIN, EBP THANKS TO THE TEAM, THE CV'S FOR GIVING US SUCH SUPERLATIVE AND SENSATIONAL EPISODES THIS ENTIRE WEEK.👏
Precap - Kavya innocently questions her chachi about the rope and asks if they are playing a game, Sojal dragging her away to their room, Aastha challenging Shlok to answer not only kavya's but society's questions too as he was the one to partition the house ...
