I was watching the september episodes again...and a thought entered my mind.
IF Shlok already knows what a creep NA is and is trying to play mindgames with Baba..
Is it possible that he purposely avoided talking to Astha knowing that if he keeps avoiding her, she will ultimately come to award ceremony and raise the topic of Anjali the girl he rustigated.
Is it possible that Varad planned the camera guy with Shlok's permission and the whole thing was purposefully broadcast.
Two thing happened out of that...he put a black stamp on his father 's apparently WHITE work record of years. Secondly he publicly accepts his dislike for name "anjali".
Outside the building...he purposefully does hathapayyi and fights with cameraman , though he could have avoided it...he does all that knowlingly.
First of all, why is Anjali the college girl taking Astha's help of all people? Who lead her to Astha...was that just a coincidence? I dont think so.
Going a few episodes back...first episode where Astha takes tickets as the lady in white dress...
My guess is the whole thig was STAGED for Astha only...
Shlok already knew Astha is coming there with Old Age Home toli...and keeps the tickets for them, and tells the entrance guard to give the tickets to lady in white dress.
WHY? That was a test for Astha.
When he announces to the audience that whoever has lied thier way in should go out...she makes all her group get up and go...he is testing her sense of ethics...He is testing if she has the guts to get up in public.
I think there was no foreign delegates at all. The seats were meant for AStha and old age home friends only.
Now, how does Shlok know Astha will land there in a white dress...AJJU.
AJJU has a lot to do with Shlok...and she is on his team from day one. AJJU also constantly pushes Astha towards Shlok.
I think, Shlok has seen and analyzed Astha way before first episode...and the rest of the sequences were a test for her. And yes..the Kolhaphur trip brought the innocence , strength and vulnerability in her and he fell in love.
I think Shlok's very purpose is to expose NA, both at home and society...and the award ceremony scandal was the beginning...he himself led AStha there by avoiding to talk to her...
His coming to the same train and same bogie as Astha...that also was staged by AJJU and Shlok. He purposefully loses his wallet...its another test for Astha...and she passes it when she offers him money to buy his ticket and then later returns the purse.
This AJJU has a value in the story..she is the clue to some past.I am starting to think if he headphones Ajju always listens too is a recorder of some kind or some kid of a two way radio by which she is in touch with Shlok.He also gifts her one recently when he brings Astha to mayka.
This revenge rubbish is a mask for NA. I think we will get to see something real at HM.
Think about it...
