TYPES OF SHLOK'S KISSES...ANG ANG ME KISS KIYA AASTHA KO.
I had been wanting to make this post for a long time. Decided to do it for my 5000th post in this forum. Wow, how time flies and the show has become very dear to me. Will always hold a special place in my heart as it is unique and magical due to the amazing and talented leads.
We have seen or imagined or had Camera angle kisses of Ashlok. Shlok does it with elan, panache and finesse while Aastha is shy, impulsive and is turning bold now after all this while.She took the initiative for the kiss and we got a hot hot saree pallu kiss. 👏
THE HAND KISS...
We have had many scenes, during the fake love wooing phase while on their day out where Aastha lets free the balloons and is like a little kid enjoying the day out. Shlok is enthralled and grabs her by the hand and has a heart sign on the palm, which he proceeds to kiss...phew...that was one heck of a scene. During the formal wedding, he sneaks into her dressing room and caresses her and gives a kiss. Also when Aastha is getting ready for the swikruti ceremony, he helps her to get ready and kisses her hand and her ear.

THE LEG KISS
The one that comes to mind is when he gifts her the toe rings and then kisses her feet after making her sit on his car. That was a big move by him as I felt that he surrendered to Aastha at that time and expressed his love intimately. He who has never bent his head before anyone, taking the step of kissing his wife's foot in public shows that he does not care about what others think of him too. He blew away Aastha's resistance and inhibitions by this kiss.

THE FOREHEAD KISS
There are many instances and the most recent ones come to mind. In the chawl, their first day in it, after gifting the payal to her, numerous times in their room after saying ILU and before the 2nd SR. If we see this can consider it to be a lip kiss as that cannot be shown on TV. It is upto our imagination and some things are best left to the mind. At the end of the stranger track when they Aastha surrenders completely to Shlok is o/s and remains in one's memory long after it is over. The mahiya song, where she wears the short pink nightie gifted by pathidev is also spectacular and utterly erotic. The hints and suggestions are enough to set our minds racing and ponder on what followed.

THE SHOULDER/EAR KISS
The first one that comes into mind is when he gives his signature back hug and comes very close to Aastha during the hate phase of their marriage, after the disastrous 1st SR. AAstha is in a blue sari and ajju calls and speaks to her when Shlok lies on her lap and talks to ajju. Then when AAstha is standing by the balcony door he comes behind and hugs her and air kisses her shoulder and her ear...this was a very hot and sensuous scene. Shlok looking very handsome and sinful in his white kurta pajama, lying on her lap, gazing at her with desire and ego warring within himself..

During 2nd SR, he kisses her shoulder or at least the camera angle indicated that. There was an arm kiss here too. All of the above kisses were shown in this sequence, the forehead, the arm, the hand, the neck and the lip(only a hint)...kisses that were so hot.

There was one Eskimo type kiss where they rubbed noses or came real close to each other for a lip kiss. They were all super sizzling and drew us in with their magnetism.

AASTHA'S KISSES.
Aastha at first is shown shying away of turning her face whenever Shlok demands a kiss or tries to kiss her. Before their marriage when they meet up at the hillock and Shlok attempts the fake suicide, he tried to kiss her before and after, when he comes in front of safe and sound. He succeeds in kissing her after their temple marriage and that is the first kiss of Ashlok.

When he comes to her dressing room and asks for one on the lips, AAstha kisses him on the cheek voluntarily. This again is an o/s seq and the air was crackling with Shlok's passion and Aatha's realisation that soon all the barriers between them would come down. The trembling, the shyness and the anticipation were portrayed brilliantly by Shrenu here.

After the ILU confession by her, she hounded and pestered him till he caved in, but when it came to kisses ran as fast her legs would carry her. When he indicated that he wants to take their marriage to the next level and said so when she was making the bhajias, she just froze. So too when she came to their room and Shlok gives her his signature back hug and they fall on the bed was well done. When he shaves off his beard, she gives him a kiss( actually one before where she says his beard is scratching her tender skin n one after.)

also while playing blind man's buff; she ends up kissing his cheek.

Off late we saw Aastha kiss his cheeks when at the chawl, to lift his spirits and he also kissed her forehead.
There are numerous instances where he grabbed both her arms in his signature style and scorched her with his hot eyes that were full of anger and passion. Now, though we are seeing the arm grabs Shlok is seducing her with his passionate gaze and desire and love being shown openly.

A special mention must be made of the PALLU KISS, THAT WAS TOTALLY UNIQUE AND FULL OF ASHLOK'S HATKE STYLE. The wink, the look, the dawning realisation on Shlok's face that his wife wanted to give him a kiss in the roadside was truly different and sent our hearts soaring along with his heart rate for sure.

I know there are a number of scenes that has been omitted. I have only compiled a partial list of my favourites. Please feel free to add your favourite to this list.
Will add and update as I recall and find the videos. LINKS ARE WORKING.
The tent wala scene came after ages, I mean Shlok's hate track was going on in full swing and Aastha was loving him even more. We got a full Ashlokian epi after eons,seemed like that at that time, when it came and we were tired of baba bhajans and NA's games. It was a breath of fresh air and special mention to nandu96, who wanted this to be included here.

Jia, this one is for you. EYE KISS.
Now we had this raging debate on the forum, did they or did they not do it, just before doing Jyoti's kanyadaan. This was an extremely emotional one at the same time, an intense and hot scene of Ashlok. Both were dressed to the nines and looked ravishing, bowling us over with their looks and acting.
