"There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls." - Howard thurman

"There are strings in the human heart that had better not be vibrated." - Charles Dickens

I used to want a relationship with no strings attached, but then I realized the strings are what holds a real relationship together. - Anonymous

Interestingly various relationships in the show I find are either in strings attached or not so attached kind of relationships or were as I say!!

Shlok-Aastha: Shlok bound Aastha to himself by tying a black thread which he said it is like a mangalsutra to him at mandir marriage. He later broke the same thread to shatter her dreams and break her heart. In fact she nurtured his broken heart and stayed with him thru the thick & thin even during the whole Swathi saga when he needed her the most. Another 2 times both of them vowed to stay with each other all thru the life or for 7 lives ...once when Shlok tied the same thread to her while apologizing to her and another time she placed a mala on him. I see these flowers in the mala as their immense love for each other and the thread to be the bond which will tie them together forever. After this rope ACT which is though cliched and old fashioned ...that string of bond might have weakened but not broken yet.
Leave all these strings 😉..now the main manipulator is diabolically playing with both of them by pulling their heart's strings and making them dance to his tunes😡. Who will win at the end? Of course true love wins but at what cost has to be seen!!

NA- Anjali: Anjali has always been a marionette in the hands of Niranjan Agnihotri; he is the master puppeteer who would like to pull the strings and make her do all the dirty work for him where he can play at saint. This rope 'ACT' has awaken the tigress and her inner voice has started to speak up. The voice of concern, the voice of rights and the voice of motherly affection is provoked due to this. She who has always placed a wife's place above all relationships has spoken first time ever when Jyothi was being dragged by Abhay and now when Aastha needed support in the dire consequences. She has understood that she was after all a door mat all these years and that she was just 'existing' & not 'living' her life. But how long her strength will stay intact has to be seen. NA will use every rule in his book - Saam, daan, Dand, bhed... as he says to bring her back to his side. Can she break this bond permanently?

Varad- Sojal- Mansi: Varad & Sojal are bonded together due to matrimony where that 'mangalsutra' is just a mere adornment for her..she is more of a materialistic person. Recently Varad has been observing his siblings love for their better halves and is also longing for such love in his life. But he is a coward still and is not thinking about divorcing Sojal yet..is it the society that he is worried about or their little daughter Kavya? Looks like he wants a 'No-strings' attached kind of relationship with Mansi. Mansi who is an emotionally weak person & yearns for a beautiful family is becoming possessive, obsessive of him recently and want to come out of that 'No expectations' relationship. She wants him to acknowledge this relationship in front of the society as she got offended when he said she is merely a 'FRIEND'!! She wants him to spend time and stay with her all the time. Sojal on the other hand cares less..and till now she was fulfilling her DIL duties due to Anjali..now that Anjali has moved to other side of the house; she feels she is not answerable to anyone and is having a gala time wither gossiping or shopping. She would get a jolt soon. Out of all this mess who is suffering?! little kavya!!

Sid- Jyothi: Jyothi broke the shackles...and broke the mangalsutra..the string which is tying her to Abhay to break free out of that abused relationship. When Sid-Jyothi's relationship started it was also a no expectations kind of one but it grew stronger day by day. Now that they are bounded together by matrimony ..a whole set of new problems arise ...a baby for Jyothi from previous marriage , a nagging MIL ..etc. ,etc.,

Thanks for reading ..do share your thoughts 😊

nice post jia.
i am confused about the purpose of the magically appearing/disappearing black thread, but bondage is fun only when both the people involved are willing and happy participants(pun intended). otherwise, it can become a nightmare.😛
niranjan bound anjali to himself by terrorizing her for 30+ years.
mansi is binding varad to herself with a baby, without his knowledge.
sojal is enjoying her sudden boundless freedom too much... until mansi drops the bomb err... baby!
jyothi-sid... ummm... *yawn*. nothing to say.😳

I am wondering what will be Aasli's stand when the Varad -Sojal-Mansi crap surfaces. 😕 No one in the house particularly likes Sojal. Given how they are showing her , hardly a surprise. What I want to know is if Anjali and Aastha will realize she is a product of the Agni way of life just like Anjali , Shlock etc.
I am not pissed at her sunofying Anjali after all the crap that was dished out to her over the years. Yesterday while watching the flower conversation I wondered if AaSli will turn Sojal into a beautiful flower in the future.
Sojal doesn't particularly adore her mom but does she have anyone else to talk or lusten to her ?

Jia, great post.
The various siblings and Nirjali are bound by strings and they are all being snapped.

The one binding Ashlok is very strong and a few threads may have snapped, but it will bear the weight so to speak.

The one binding NA - Anjali has become very frayed over 30 years and are all snapping off one by one. There are still a few threads intact but how long they will last remains to be seen.

Varad - Sojal's was already weak and the only thread is around kavya. Mansi wants to break the existing thread and tie a new one herself for Varad. WIll Varad be able to break off the existing one???

JoSid's currently the strongest one yet but only time and the birth of Josid's child will tell how strong or weak it is. Renuka is bent on snapping some of the threads before they can set.

Nice quotes Jia. I agree about shlok and astha, their bonds may weaken but won't break. I hope the cost is not too high and at the end both understand each other.

Anjali has realized that she is a human being, a separate entity from NA.NA 's Saam, daan, Dand, bhed only his better half can break, she has lived with for him so long that she understand him without speaking words. I am hoping anjali remains strong.

Rekha..me too dont get it, did they deliberately take the black thread out ...my point is Astha is never a stickler of traditions nor is Shlok ..so she might have removed it; she does it only if feels like. But Shlok said he believes the thread is of more importance than any magalsutra ..so she will oblige..but no!! or it was a mistake by the actress herself? Probably it will make a sudden appearance again when in need😕. NA's strings to pull his puppet are weakening day by day!! 👏.

Yep..that is the only string between them..also I always felt Varad is not keen on making his & Mansi's relationship public and today's epi proved it yet again! His attitude is totally 'No-strings' attached to her.

Chitra...I bet Aastha will jump the gun as soon as she sniffs any doubt as for her her Varad dada is epitome of virtue and cannot bear to hear anything against him. Anjali might be gaurded and hope she gives some good advice to her and Sojal further on this issue. But Mansi is becoming obsessed day by day with Varad and she might pull h er strings to bring him to her; wonder what will be Sojal's reaction to all this who is a gossip monger and her life will become a biggest gossip ; I sometimes pity her!!
