We have Shlok's brother who knows what happens in his house but choses to be ignorant or not to interfere.
Then we have Abhay who abuses his wife and forces her to get an abortion because he only wants daughters.
Niranjan uses mental abuse and manipulates Anjali to get things done.
Shlok is now pushing and pulling Astha and has even slapped her. The ex girlfriend is winning and Shlok is losing - he just hasnt realised that yet - he is taking all of his hatred from Swati and shows it at Astha instead. Maybe because Astha is making him feel again epspecially making him fall in love again. However he is the hero so he will one day regret and make sure nothing and noone harms her.
I do trust the CVs and they must have thought about the storyline hard and long. I will continue to watch the show and hope that Astha behaves like a modern woman who wont stand for any of these. She has to either slap Shlok back or ignore him completely.
