Pinky-NT-Annika triangle with the 'gaggle of witches' looking on: 
"Who Bhi mere Pati key Ma pey ... !!"
The correct term I believe is Mother-in-law' Annika but I guess your 'Pati ki ma' has not given you that honor yet. Anyways, I understand your need to stand between her and your self-declared Mother since Pati is MIA but there was no need for such extreme measures as to cut her off mid-sentence and shove her out. What is up with you girl?? This is more the Shivvay style not yours!! What are you up to now??!!
"Ma!!... aur yeh aurat??!! Yeh kisi ki Ma kehelane key liyak nahi hai . " 
Bang on NT!!! Truer words were not spoken. She is not worthy of being called a mother forget about being one. If Mahi were standing there now he would have backed you up on that 100% I am sure. Unlike Shivvay, who is blinded by a sons love for his mother, Mahi sees right through her fake facade of motherly concern.
But then NT this is exactly why I cannot imagine someone like you kidnapping a little innocent, helpless and motherless child. You may or may not be a mother but that does not mean you do not have maternal instincts! The fact that you detest what Pinky is doing to her son says that you do know how disgusting what she is doing is!! Now after all this proof how in heavens name am I supposed to believe that you kidnapped little Sahil, who has absolutely nothing to do with Pinky, only for your selfish gain and to seek your revenge?
And the one that struck me the most. "Yeh Aapna Hi Ghar Kha Jayegi" 
It was like NT was foretelling the future and it had such an ominous ring to it that I actually felt a shudder run through me. Does not a 'Dayan' also leave 7 houses and then attack!! Are we supposed to believe that Pinky is somehow worse than that??!! We know already that she is going to bring down the house and break her Family but it seems all signs are pointing to Shivvay walking out.
Why is NT's "Hum batatey Hai Isski Sachiee" met with "Chup!!! ... Bilkul Chup!!", from you Annika??!! You have never been one to shy away from hearing or speaking the truth?? So why is it that you are not letting NT speak what you know could very well solve the mystery behind this whole Mother' drama!!?? You can feel it in your bones that NT is not your mother so why not let her reveal the truth?? Is that not what you want to hear??
You have accused NT of being a liar and now when the woman wants to speak the truth you silence her?? Are you protecting your mother in law or is there another game afoot??
What is it that you are trying to keep under control here till Shivvay returns?? What is cooking in that pretty little head of yours?? What's with the expression that says, "I need to stop this woman right here and now before she gives the whole game away !!! So zip up you silly woman cause I need to stick to the darn plan!!"
It is amusing to see how Pinky has made a bigger 'Tamasha' of her house and son than the Bar Dancer would ever have done at her Bar, while the so called high society woman watch on, waiting for their juicy bit of gossip?? It is laughable that Pinky called NT the 'Tamashey wali' while it is she who has made a joke of the Oberoi Name and her sons respect.
"Teri Galti nahi hai. Tu iss aurat ki asliyat janti hi nahi na!!"
Oh!!! I believe she does NT, she is not that naive as to believe that Pinky is all good but that is Annika you know. She will not sacrifice or put on display her husband's Pride and the Family's respect while these blood thirsty Hyena's look on. Besides, look at her face!! She is frightened now as you are not only going to rip Pinky's respect, but along with her, the Family respect to shreds as well by telling her what she already knows about Pinky. And also, thanks to her vain and foolish mother in law, this scene is going to play out in front of the entire group of woman who are enjoying this entertainment and then are going to carry it out with them to share it with the rest of the world.
So she has to think on her feet and do damage control right now because if she does not, her foolish mother in law, who has already made a joke of the Oberoi Naam and Khandaan, is now going to manage to make a bigger fool of her Khoon (Shivvay) if the truth comes out.
What a scintillating piece of gossip - Pinky Singh Oberoi drags her sons name and respect through the 'kichad and kudha' on the streets by bribing a 'Bar Dancer' to impersonate his MIL and also announcing her as such to the media, only so that he is driven to divorce his wife. Wow!! I can just see the women behind Pinky sinking their teeth into THIS juicy piece of gossip.
So Annika did what she thought would put an end to this scandal once and for all. She physically threw you out. I do believe she is slowly realizing the burden of sins that Shivvay now has to carry on his soul when he commits heinous and disrespectful acts like these to keep the Family Name and Respect intact. Why he becomes SSO from the 'Mere Shivvay' she knows him as. What compels him to commit all the acts that cause his hands and soul to get tainted and tarnished.
Welcome to Shivvay's world Annika - you became ASSO, his 'other half' today. You were not 'Just Annika' today when you dealt with NT but you were 'Annika Shivvay Singh Oberoi'. 'Just Annika' would not have done what you did to NT with a clear conscience.
As for Pinky I would watch where I step now as the OMM phase one has begun. NT is not going to leave it be after all the humiliation and abuse she suffered. Going through a serious medical condition is not easy in itself but as a woman who makes her living solely on her looks, losing her hair and then being humiliated for it in public can be very mentally scarring. It is pretty obvious as to why she agreed to do what Pinky asked her to do initially but now her desperation at securing her old age and medical bills becomes clearer.
"Haan Sach badal nahi jayega magar usse accept kar saktey hai. We can do this with Grace"
Shivvay announces that it is a match and do I detect a coolness in his attitude towards his mother or is it just my over active imagination.
It is always amazing to see what a man in love will do but it is even more amazing to see SSO accept a Bar Dancer as his MIL and say that it can be done with grace. He decides she will live with them and that she is given the due respect as his MIL. But the body language that goes with SSO being blackmailed is missing!! He seems to be pretty casual and cool about it when he announces NT in. Something does not feel right here. The only time we see any reaction to NT is when he kicks her chair and asks where Sahil is.
NT for her part had eyes only for Pinky and did I detect a tad bit of sadness when she watched Annika walk away. Even when she addressed Shivvay there was none of the 'grating on the nerves' kind of sarcasm that she has reserved only for Pinky. Call me insane but this plot feels forced and lacks the flow.
So bear with me here while I ponder over this and feel free to comment or disagree because I am not buying any of this. Why?? Well because it makes no sense!!! NT has a bone to pick with Pinky not ShivIka so why target Sahil!!
We know that NT kidnaps Sahil but what does she hope to achieve? Money?? Fine, she gets her money and hands Sahil over and then what?? Does she really think Shivvay will give her the money and that is the end of it??! This is Shivvay Singh Oberoi not just anyone!! He will hunt her down and she is not a woman with a lot of resources or places to hide. Or does she plan to stay at OM forever!! Again, can't see her hiding Sahil forever. Shivvay will end up tracking him down. Then what?? No money and you have Shivvay Singh Oberoi breathing down your neck. I do not think she is that daft.
We also know that Shivvay goes off on his rescue mission but I am not sure if Sahil is rescued as I did not see any news about that. So where is all this, NT back in OM because she has Sahil, leading to?? Is this not supposed to be about Pinky's OMM so what exactly is achieved by NT harassing ShivIka??? Answer - Nothing
Whereas if this is a plot to get Pinky, in her frustration, to admit that she did switch the reports and hired NT to pretend to be Annika's mother , then this all will make sense. Shivvay has to hear it from the horse's mouth for him to believe his mother could stoop so low.
