Watched yesterday's and today's episode together.
Yesterday: It was funny watching Neil behave like a typical FL and say things like "agni ko saakshi maan ke saat phere liye, mangalsutra pehnake, maang mein sindhoor bharke".
But it is wholesome watching Neil taking a stand now. This scene depicts how he may be helpless regarding himself but would not hesitate to take a stand for his wife and will most probably take Tejaswini's side all the time, not remaining like furniture in the background when our beloved kalesh happens. Also, he seems to be giving it back to Rutu while saying these lines ("mujhe teri permission nahi chahiye"), so after learning Teju and Rutu's past, he will not only not like it and feel possessiveness towards his wife, but also perhaps be a strong opponent or should I say, contender to Rutu. He is not all that bechara, you know. 
Leena's behaviour was so crass.
She threw the veneration plate and kicked that kalash away! And what was that banging-the-plate-with-the-ladle?! Such madness! Rutu was being the perfect villain with those death stares to the newlyweds, insults, breaking of decorations and throwing plates (Leena ke maayke mein zaroor plate phekne ki pratha hogi ). Also his monologue reeks jealousy and superiority complex, as we had guessed before. Banda pagal ho raha hai and that Leena lady behaves like a witch from those fairy tales who get banished from the kingdom and rejected, taking revenge from every other person they meet. I hated how both of them started questioning Tejaswini's character. Laxmi seems a saint in front of this, although we had Teju being a washing machine and masala grinder for the Chavans sometime ago.
The scene between Neil and Tejaswini was beautifully enacted. There was awkwardness as Neil adjusted his accessories and Tejaswini tried to look away. The emotion of finally being close to each other as spouses was palpable, could be felt. I liked it the most 
:) Also, the Pradhan family as a whole is behaving so nicely with Teju. They are respectful to her and don't seem problematic as her in-laws till now. So Leena and Rutu are the only abominations in Pradhan Niwas.
Today: Today's episode highlight was Rutu's expressions and body language. He surely is a classy villain per say with continuously throwing shade and giving side-eyes.
The scene where Juhi comes back home seemed so cinematic, just like horror movies. Payal ki awaaz and Satish's frightening eyes! And Satish is a monster - the way he manhandled Juhi was scary and cruel. Deepali isn't even asking him to at least stop hitting her. Laxmi defending Teju, I didn't expect such gratitude from her. And I ask Mukta, where was this hidden courage when you were being treated as a doormat and your daughter was being coerced into this marriage? Though I am glad she came in between Satish and poor Juhi. I feel bad for her being stuck in this polygonal/triangular mess.
Ha! Things will be interesting finally!

He told him, "Tejaswini is my wife. And I don't need your permission." Tejaswini was about to fall today and Neil catched her. RR saw this and felt immensely jealous.
