ISS PYAAR KO ERROR NAAM DOON ?

So the last 2 days were the unveiling days in IPK2 ... the masks are being pulled off .. the tensions are mounting .. intrigue forms the cloud which hovers over Agnihotri house ... devious intents are being laid bare ... petty politics are tripping the path of intent ... the make belief in the REALITY now ...

STRIKE ONE SHLOK AGNIHOTRI ...

In yesterdays episode .. we saw the FIRST STRIKE of Shlok's ... but what it revealed was the CAREFUL PLANNING that went into the making of Mrs. SHLOK AGNIHOTRI ... the takeover of a maiden ... the capture of the fly in the spiders parlour ...

It all went to pieces in an award function .. until then the irritant named Aastha was just a speck of dust to be wiped off whenever it made an appearance ... but that day at the award FUNCTIOn .. the speck of dust was a SANDSTORM ... which blinded & incapacitated the Agnihotri men ... the HIT was DIRECT .. the HIT was PUBLIC .. the hit HURT .. the hit was INSULTING ... the HIT was on the MALE ...

On that day .. the MAN had to bow to the WOMAN ... was it any wonder the MAN .. would make the WOMAN bow .. right back ...

To the Man .. it looked like careful planning from AASTHA when she revealed to the gathered congregation of Shlok's true face ... she pulled the mask off ... she exposed the CHAUVINIST within ... SHE REVEALED .. a MAN WHO HATED WOMEN ...

Isn't it ironical .. that all he had to do to defeat her was PUT ON A MASK ... a mask of a man who LOVED ... a mask of a man who RESPECTED .. a mask of a man who was REFORMED .. a mask of a man who CARED ...

The painstaking reveal of SHLOK by AASTHA ... yesterday lay by the wayside ... The first day of marriage ... he presented her with a diamond necklace ... & TOOK BACK EVERY INSULT SHE EVER PUT ON HIM ...
The award company people who came to confer the award on SHLOK walk in ... & SHLOK pulls out a double whammy ... he makes AASTHA give the award to him ... the woman who brutally had him STRIPPED OF THE AWARD ... then he makes her stand there on TELEVISION & recant & take back all that she spoke about him ... HE MADE HER GIVE HIM A PUBLIC APOLOGY ...

Well people most of us call this .. GAME SET & MATCH ...
But .. ooops .. MATCH HAS JUST BEGUN ...

What was most interesting ... at no point of time did AASTHA realise as yet what was SHLOK's intent .. she was the dutiful loving wifey ... who still has her "ghooghat on her face"

OH what can one say but ... STRIKE ONE TO U
MR. SHLOK AGNIHOTRI


Often enuf times ... one hears this saying ... to err is human .. to forgive is divine ... but this serial specially the character of Aastha .. simply underlines .. to Err is HUMAN .. but to ERROR is AASTHA ...

As i watched the episodes from friday last ... for a moment i was completely in accordance with Anjali's thinking .. Aastha's basic training .. or education was lacking ... the woman cannot stop making errors ...

Each error the girl makes .. the point which comes forth is .. TEENAGE HORMONES ... a young girl completely a slave to her hormones ... she was so not ready to be anyones Bahu ... she is unravelling as we speak ... (I dunno if this is deliberate .. or if its a complete error of the writer in giving the female lead any GOOD character traits) ...

The fact that she completely disregards the ONE CUSTOM which is a normal happening in all MARATHI households .. the couple do not consummate until the PUJA ... well ok if one gave that to her ... but what was most showing was the total DISREGARD to the "band" that Anjali ties on her hands ... as AASTHA ran to be with her husband .. what she FORGOT was how vulnerable she made the basic ethos of their relation ... the tie that binds .. was lying wasted away ...

In todays episode ... the inconsistency which were in the female lead character were glaringly pointed out ...
First despite the fiasco of the previous night .. & again a complete disregard to customs .. the girl goes to find SHLOK in the night ...
Secondly ... throughout the puja ... her attention was not on the puja or ritual .. but she was busy playing "chinese whispers" with husband as her PALLU lay forgotten ... what shocked me most was that ANJALI & not KALINDHI .. walked up to make AASTHA's pallu proper ... maybe an indication of the future ... it will be ANJALI who will help put the pieces of Aastha's life together once it unravels ...

Now a note to ponder : ... What really happened with Swati ... & how has ANJALI really put that piece of the pie together ...

Aastha was a bundle of errors ... but whats more her immaturity was glaring as well in todays episode ... yes she got into a tiff with her MIL ... but her behaviour the next moment with SHLOK was downright childish .. immature ... One actualy wonders .. DID KALINDI have it right ... AASTHA was not ready for the responsibility of a family ... strangely both the parents allude to the more mature SHLOK who will pave the way for AASTHA ... isn't it funny the parents themselves have poor faith in her abilities ...

SO whats left for us to see is ... WHEN THE MASK IS OFF ... this time it will be SHLOK who will UNMASK himself ... & that blow is going to be SO MUCH MORE DEVASTATING .. this time he will SHOW HIMSELF as the RUTHLESS ... CHAUVINIST ... WOMAN HATER HE WAS ... but this time .. instead of a GLOAT ... the young immature damsel ... will be in SHATTERS ..

PS PS PS .. hope u guys keep catching the looks being exchanged between father & son ... that twist will be most interesting to see .. since we all know SHlok's intent ... this Niranjan & Shlok look exchange will be far more fun to UNRAVEL ...


ENJOY READING ...



PS Note to maker ... pls give some deeper thot to the female leads character ... today was a day .. that the audience shud've felt bad for her .. but instead she walks away with exasperation ... major course correction required

Awesome analysis👏👏. I agree astha is not ready to be married but i hope its not a character flaw by wrter but is a deliberate thing. I want CVs to now start building astha's character. They should show her turning from a girl to a mature woman. I really want fri to come sooner.

You write really well! I am however happy with Astha s characterisation, she is flawed and that makes it easier for me as an audience to see her get taken on a ride by shlok. I am glad she is not one of the ideal , virtuous lead actresses that most hindi serials are made of. Such girls do not exist but one is more likely to find a Astha in real life . So for me, I do not want to change anything about her, keep her as clumsy and " stupid" if you can call her that. She is childish and immature ,no wonder she fell for shlok's charms.

Well said Neelum, I would want her to slowly transition to maturity once she realises that her marraige is a sham and the mess that her own actions got her into.

Ruby - as usual a great analysis. I missed quite a few episodes while I was in India. Something is off about this serial - the characterizations are really not gelling with me. Have to catch up with the story so far. let's see.

Ruby

Correct me if I am wrong...I have my pointers:

If my memory serves right on the award function day only shlok was insulted by Aastha. I may be wrong here.. watched those episodes in a haze. If my above memory is correct then Sholk is taking revenge for himself only. How is it that taking revenge for Niranjan coming into play. Whatever he is doing is being approved by Niranjan and he I think knows exactly what shlok is up to because somewhere both are ek hi thaali ke chatte batte.

Another thing is... I find it stupid to ruin ones own life for a small revenge.. As much as he is ruining Aastha's life he has also ruined his own na?


"Each error the girl makes .. the point which comes forth is .. TEENAGE HORMONES ... a young girl completely a slave to her hormones ... she was so not ready to be anyones Bahu ... she is unravelling as we speak ... (I dunno if this is deliberate .. or if its a complete error of the writer in giving the female lead any GOOD character traits) ..."
The above sentence that you have written may be right to some extent but what I think it is more that this girl has no sense of consequence... All she sees is what is happening right at this moment.. She does not bother to think about even 5 minutes ahead. One such example is inviting her parents to that pooja.. Well before marriage when you invite someone you do take your mom and dad's permission or at least let them know that you are planning to invite so and so. How does that change post wedding when you are living in a joint family environment. As a bahu you may not want to ask permission etc.. but basic information to banta hai. On top of it you are a new bahu... Even when you know a family forever you tred carefully as soon as you get married... and here she has entered into an opposite environment than hers.

In a nutshell what my thought is Aastha lacks maturity and that's why when the kaka keeps saying that change is coming I would like to say change in what?

One more thing. Sojalz mom is allowed to visit and stay. Jyotiz mil can stay but Anjali's parents and aasthaz parents are not allowed? Don't understand this concept.

Hey Maddy ...

The problem which i have often enuf written about is with the female lead character .. AASTHA .. i wrote this from the beginning episodes .. her character is not etched out .. each episode sees a yo yo in the character ... & in an Indian Telly serial if the female character is not etched it fails to connect .. which is the reason for the LOW TRPS of the serial ...

Its strange that the audience from day 1 is aware that the hero is playing the girl ... he is insincere in his wooing of her ... but even in such a scenario the makers have been unable to create the SYMPATHY factor for the girl ... u don't feel sorry for the huge SHOCK she will be getting .. thats the reason for the disconnect ...

But once the 'torture' track starts ... that shud rectify itself ... what i really want to see is when Aastha & Anjali connect .. what the reaction of SHLOK will be towards Aastha ..
