Saas-Bahus saga pattern

Alright, so here is my two cents, as an extremely big fan of Season 1 and Arshi/Sarun I hesitated initially to start watching season 2 as I didn't really think that Arshi magic could be recreated. But after watching it, I realized that this is entirely a new show, the concept, the background, the storyline, the plot, the characters etc.

And Ashlok is not supposed to recreate season 1 magic rather they should create their own magic. I have now watched each and every episode of this show and I am absolutely glued to my Ipad screen.

Now, in relation to Friday's episode, that was absolutely awesome, mind-blowing and overwhelming in every aspect the acting, the way the scenes were executed and enacted. Kudos to the director, camera crew, dialogue writers and last but certainly not least the actors. They were magnificent! Applause!

I think as the majority of the members here in that Shlok is playing with her and will get his revenge. As his self-image, ego is extremely important to him. He staged everything but got affected at the last minute when he found himself being slightly attracted to her and lost his temper. But as Shlok has been show hitherto, I doubt that this is more than just an attraction, he might feel guilty for a while for his sudden outburst but I doubt that he would actually fall in love this fast. He is a man with a dark past, he has nightmare and is deeply affected by that day and night. A girl that just irritated him to the core some days ago cannot make him to become all lovey-dovey. And I personally think that men like Shlok can't become a chocolate boy, they will always be this rough and intense. He is quite reserved and doesn't say much at least if he doesn't lose it. In that sense he is like his father, NA when they lose it they lose it. I think that this is a personality trait that Aastha might learn to tolerate at first in order to be able to control him somewhat later on.

Anyways, it is a very known fact that as soon as the leads are in love and confess the story is turned into a saas-bahu show and I dreading that track right now as Anjali is that typical saas so I really hope that CVs can come try to not go that way. It will ruin the show.

I would like to see more focus on the leads, Ashlok and NA. I think that NA is an extremely interesting character and he enacts his part very convincingly so as of now it is NA and Shlok on the one hand and Aastha on the other but later on I want NA on one side and Ashlok on the other.

But most importantly, I want Shlok to change very slowly; I don't want any sudden changes over the night.

Usually I am a silent reader of the forum; I post things very rarely myself but enjoy reading all the OS, FFs and all the other analysis of the show. So keep up the good work guys!

I will stop my nonsense now and await the episode eagerly now!

Yup.

In fact, they don't even have to wait to confess it to each other... as long as the audience is shown that they have realized they love the other person, the MIL-DIL drama is the usual follow up... various other ILs adding their two-cents to it.🤢

If...WHEN (sigh) that happens, I'll likely quit the show.

Yes, NA is the most interesting character in the show. So is Unjuli, but in the form of a victim-turned-perpetrator. I'd like to see more of them, too, but not in the MIL-DIL drama format.

Would be good if they show Aasttha fighting for Unjuli.

And yes, no sudden changes for Shloak overnight.

We want to see a nice, slow turnaround. Personal angst is all good.

I would love to see a slow build up to the love story, I want to see Shlok's dark side fighting his attraction towards Aastha and once in a while his inner demon erupting all over Aastha (not like that you dirty minded people).

For me there is nothing interesting about saus/bahau drama especially when the so called "Hero" turns a blind eye to the torture that happens within his four walls cos MIL is the head of the household 🤢

Cyrine, welcome to the forum :)

glad that you decided to give this show a chance & liked it.

Coming to the story/Ashlok/NA - yes, it is very different, & rather interesting.

NA (the actor & the character) are interesting to watch. The way he has such a 'calm' yet dark & manipulative streak to him.

This is probably the 1st show where despite loving the leads, I look forward to watching the family scenes (esp. Agnihotris) more because I love the suspense & the subtleness in their scenes. They speak little, but everything is illustrated through their eyes, & through their small little actions.

Anjali may look like a typical saas on the surface, but from what we've seen in the past 1 month, I doubt that she is. As much as she is to blame for whatever that's happened & is happening in the family, it is very clear that she has been manipulated by NA. I feel sorry for her because she comes across as the one who is shooting the victim, but actually its NA behind her back who is compelling & forcing her to shoot.

Astha's presence in the household will hopefully bring her out of the robotic mode that NA has conditioned her to be & will probably teach her to live again.

Love is still far away. Thur/Fri were just some hints of attraction, but there is still a lot more for 'love' & then its realisation to happen.

loved your post :)

hope to see you active in the forum!
