Cliched romance - At the rate this is going I'm going to be leaving this show tomorrow. Ranvir falling for Aanchal? Puhlease. That's just not happening. And especially not so soon. So CVs can you please stop this so soon into the show and actually concentrate on building up to the romance at the right time? I'm not against romance. I'm just against it being so soon into the show especially with a character like Ranvir who looks at everything in terms of pros and cons, profits and losses.
Aman - Aman is a smart lad, but he's also got the same stereotypes in mind that Mrs. Srivastava and Aanchal had. Aanchal is wrong to trust the Raichands so soon, though I do feel she's got some plan in mind for doing all this (as evident from the precap). At the same time I also feel Aman is smart, but missing a key point. Aanchal is going with Ranvir and the ones to hurt them are Sarika and Kabir. But would Ranvir let anything happen to them so soon into the game? If you think about it, Ranvir stopped the stones, took away the defamation case, and is working on keeping Sarika and Kabir calm. So while Aman is right to suspect the Raichands, he needs to suspect the right Raichands for it right now. Not all of them.
Ranvir's tiffin - Call me crazy, but I felt this was good planning on Ranvir's part again. He had a tiffin ready so that he could appear relatable to Aanchal and come closer to her as well: Pull aside the rich background and I'm just like you. It's smart, but I also feel it's foreshadowing because Ranvir takes a bite of the food that Aanchal brings and reacts. It seems to say that in the process of trying to bring Aanchal closer to him, he'll also suffer setbacks, but minor ones.
Dharamchand's death - In a way the media is right. But it also leaves a second dilemma in viewers' minds. If one of the Raichands was actually involved with Meenu's rape and murder, then they found a scapegoat, fabricated the proof, probably paid him enough to accept the crime, and then got rid of him so that he would never open his mouth. On the other hand, if the Raichands are not behind this, then by killing Dharamchand, the mastermind behind this can leave the case until the time he/she wants to trap the Raichands in it by fabricating evidence. I also found it symbolic as it was shown while Ranvir questioned Aanchal and she deftly pushed it back to him. It kind of foreshadowed that not everything is as simple with Aanchal as it seems.
Aanchal's stupidity - For a character that is supposed to have come in the top 5 in all law colleges, Aanchal is missing quite a few warning signs. (1) Ranvir knows what Aanchal thinks before she does. Case in point the coffee mug from yesterday as a sign of accepting the job offer. (2) He's appearing very relatable. After appearing so aloof, how can someone suddenly appear so relatable? (3) He's involving her in the business too quickly. Like seriously? Anyone, even if they were the coveted hire, is brought in slowly. Not thrown into a project so quickly. (4) He's created an "enemy" to please her. I stand by what I said yesterday. Gaurav is a villain, but I have a feeling Ranvir is doing a lot of this to save Gaurav. (5) Too much of a free hand. After being accused by someone, wouldn't Ranvir have been more careful even if he did offer Aanchal a job? Can she be so stupid as to not think about that? (6) Even after being relatable, he's showing off his wealth. He takes her to Mauritius in a private plane, takes her to his mansion there, and even gives her such an exquisite room to show off his wealth. And she falls for it like anyone would on being treated like royalty suddenly.
Kabir and Sarika - Today we got a glimpse into another relationship. So far we've seen Sarika pulling the strings and Kabir reporting to Sarika on finishing certain tasks. But now it seems it's actually the other way around. Sarika is more of a tantrum queen who wants only the best for Ranvir and it's up to Kabir to make things happen. I loved the way he calmed Sarika down in a twisted way, but still didn't let Sarika know of his plan just what the outcome would be.
Precap - I'm mixed on the precap. It might be real. He'll try to kill Aanchal, but actually leave her to take the fall for a bad deal, thus ruining her (Aanchal's stupidity all over again). This might lead to the real plot of the show of revenge and getting a "haq". On the other hand, it might be Aanchal's dream. She'll wake up and realize that she was wrong about Ranvir all along. I guess let's wait and see because both seem like the obvious answer.
