Amazing episode once again
Daddy is slowly going down, he loses control over things just as shokie did yday.
Ashta has come as a "curse" for the Agnihotri family, funny thing is that daddy himself chose her for shlokie

The episode starts with anjali and neeranjan talking in their room, NA asks her if she invited the kirloskars and anjali says she didnt as she thought inviting them could b bad for his pure angel image, his dangerous tune is played on the backround anouncing neeranjan is disturbed, very..that his wife dared to think for him and take decisions..takes a look in the mirror, studies his refelection like having a silent disscusion with his alter ego and tells anjali she should close the door.Poor woman thought she could help him if the kirloskars werent there, but neeranjan thinks that their absence might raise questions between the guests, and he was right as we later see in the party..
Anjali accepts the punishment, she walks to the door like brain washed and encounters sojal, this woman takes the liberty of attenting the party with open hair, thing that is against anajali's rule book, but anjali is too much affected by what she knows it will follow after closed doors.
Neeranjan mistakens anjali again with a man and beats her , this time leaving traces behind, a bruise on her left cheek,

At the party Abhay apears too, without a wife..wonder what happened to jyothi after she was taken to the doctor? why isnt anyone from her familly asking about her whearabouts?
Anjali comes down and talks with sojal, the latter notices the bruise..it must have been a grave one if she couldnt cover it with the makeup..abhay listens to this and smiles when he hears anjali lying that she bumped into a door..being an abusing man himself he knows NA has hit her..so he knows NA s true nature but still plays with his favorite sons life, wife ashta..hmm, he has guts..

At the kirloskars home, ashta is setting the table, it seems that she has taken the habit from living with the agnihotris, her body is there but her heart is somewhere else..maybe thinking abt one handsome angry young man who turned her life upside down..her dad sees her lost and her mother suggests for her to call anjali to let her know shes here, neeranjan may understand but anjali wont..kalindi still fears anjali, and some how shes right as neeranjan uses anjali as the bad "guy' and did send her to their house to get his second gift.

Back at the party, a guest couple is singing praises to neeranjan saying he is the kindest and the greatest man alive...he is very pleased and fakes a blush leaving his head down with a smile..really this man should win an Oscar,,he is just too good.
His favorite baccha comes to wish him, dressed in the same brown shirt whisch he wore in the jungle, and hugs him ( uhh, i wouldnt do that man, he wore that shirt for two days)
Shlok has a sorry expression..he has failed his daddy again and most important ashta still thinks he lied and he didnt bring her with him..once again his baba was humilliated by ashta and she wasnt even aware of that.
The same couple from earlier is now taunting neeranjan coz his bahu ran away to her parents..ooopsie daisy dadddy is loosing admireres, he lost the 1th spot in shlokies prorities list to Ashta..too many things in one day..he orders anjali with a simple look to do the dirty look since he is too preocupied to lick his wounds and anjali goes to the kirsloskars.

Pouring a river of water from a little vessel in ashtas hand she tries to make her swear she will chose her sasurals instead of her parents forever..everyone stares byt says Nada towards the end of the" river" i see a determinated look on ashta and i feel better..i know shell take the right decison..

Overall the episode was very good with great performance from manish, geetanjali and shrenu

@myra ok i reserved thinking i will get a song too😳.lovely post my favourite one is pouring river from little vessel😆 ...I hope NA pays for his every misdeed! and his bacha he is slowly turning back from shlok, the jungle guy to shlok agnihotri as soon as he entered house. one thing i noticed was him looking hopefully after his mom with a sheepish expression. So, somewhere baby bear is hoping that mama bear will get his honey for him...all the man supremacy talk and then these guys are totally dependant on anjali... i am eagerly waiitng for mon, today was very goo epi but main event will unfold on mon. why i am getting the feeling that somehow getting his bacha back under his total control and knowing about his and aastha's true relation is ''the gift'' NA wanted. he will be one happy guy to know that family ''traditions'' are safe.

Nicely written Myra..really good..
coming back to analysis..i will start with the most unexpected person..Sojal..😉😆😆..she s digging her own grave..n its jst a matter of some time tht she will be in tht..Abhay s taking her for a ride n she s dumb enough to follow him..he s going to wash his hands off n put entire blame on Sojal..now its upto Angni family whether they believe this white lie of Abhay which means Sojal is smart enough to plot n plan where in reality she is not 😉 i m sure Agni family knows this...i liked Varad's pointed comment abt "baki ke mehemano ko bhi dekho..kaha uljhi hui ho" or smthing like tht..Varad felt weird abt Abhay n Sojal's chatting..the way he gave a pointed look towards Abhay implies tht he dsnt like him at all n he kinda suspects tht ther s smthing cooking there...bt wonder why no one asked abt Jyoti?? wat kind of family is this??🤔

now coming back to NA and Anjali..It really amuses me to see how much NA controls Anjali..😲 i mean she knew wats going to follow d moment he said "kitna sochti ho"...her fear was evident on her face..yet wen he ordered to close d door..she did it jst like a robot..even blasted Sojal who jst came at d time wen d door was getting closed..i m really curious to know wat is their back story n y Anjali take all this sh*t from NA??😕😕 hats off to CVs n director for implying violence so strongly even w/o showing any such scene..👏👏

Astha n Kirloskars...Astha is lost..probably trying to think abt wat all happned..it was too much to digest..Kirloskars telling her to call agni mansion by telling her tht she s a daughter in law n blah blah blah was natural..bt i was surprised to see tht she actually called..😲..i was hoping tht she will jst pretend..😉 conveniently no one noticed d phone ringing..I guess NA dint hear coz all the praises mst be ringing in his ears which were showered on him by his guests..i really luved their scene at the dining table..wat a beautiful n loving family it was..before this shadow named Agnihotris eclipsed their happiness...their lives turned upside down..i really felt sorry for them....


the party scene where ppl were praising NA..n he was gloating listening to tht..bt isnt it d fact..v come across many such ppl everyday who r double faced..very nice in public places or offices bt completely different in their personal lives..n wen smtimes v get to peep into their personal lives v really get surprised or shocked to see the reality...bt in NA's case he is wearing mask in personal life too..how can a man b so heartless n ruthless to manipulate his own family..

Shlok appeared rgt in time n was visibly upset..Shlokie boy is yet to digest his first lost...bt at the same time he was having guilt on his face for failing his baba again..NA rightfully inquired abt Astha..ppl started whispering abt Astha's absence..n started putting 2 n 2 together.. now wonder NA will hunt them down too considering tht they also insulted him in his own place..😆..

Shlok told him tht she has gone to meet her parents..Anjali guessed NA's expressions n like a obedient robot started on her mission "bring Astha back"...bt as she was leaving..Shlok was following her movement till she reached the door..i felt tht he was worried abt Astha..probably thinking wat his Aayi will do there..he knows tht she will insult Astha...the seeds of this inner turmoil n conflicts have been implanted in his mind..this conflict will only grow stronger n stronger with Astha leaving Agni mansion..he will for sure feel the pinch..

all n all a very good episode..n wonderful acting by Shrenu, Manish, Geetanjali, Prachi and Tushar..👏


the subtle hint which CVs gave today when NA said tht "avadhoot has not been proven guilty yet" hmmm...NA has smthing big planned up his sleeves which will turn all their lives upside down..Avadhoot is badly trapped n he s not going to get released frm NA's claws anytime soon..poor Astha.. i guess Avadhoot too knows this fact..

tlking abt dhamakedar precap..NA was really surprised wen Shlok admitted tht he hates Astha..even Anjali was genuinely shocked..I found Varad a bit hyper there..probably coz of d thgt tht if this is true then Astha will not be in tht house anymore n tht means she will not be in frnt of his sight too..(wats cooking here 🤔)

ye Monday kab aayega..(jst coz of IPKKND2..otherwise i hate Mondays..😉)

P.S. loved the last scene where Anjali was pouring water on Astha's hand n Astha was shocked n numb to see wats happening..her parents were visibly shaken..loved d last shot wen 3 Kirloskar women standing in one line..did it imply tht they both will be Astha's strength n support her throuhg this tough time..only time will tell..Loved Shrenu in this scene a lot particularly..

Astha's response will get Anjali in trouble and she may end up black and blue. I wonder when will Anjali react? when will she say enough is enough? How much more will she take?

Today, this poem by Maya Angelou for Anjali and Astha. Anjali is the caged bird and Astha is the free bird. I meant to post this poem in one of those episodes where they showed struggles of Anjali, Astha and Jyoti. However, I think of Anjali as more of a caged bird because she is wants to be free, but seems to be a prisoner of Niranjan for so many reasons - some of them yet undisclosed.


Caged Bird

BY MAYA ANGELOU
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.



In last two episodes, they are showing Anjali doing bidding of Niranjan but there is a suppressed rebellion in her. In yesterday's episode, she kicked out her parents from the old home, but there was anger in her eyes and she did show some defiance to Niranjan. The second gift is either breaking of Astha's ties with her parents or Shlok.

Niranjan being a shrewd character knows that Astha is attached to her parents and have principles. So surely he cannot be expecting that Astha would easily break up contacts with her parents especially at this time when her father is all broken. So was he expecting Kirloskars to come to the party and wanted to have a public breakdown of Astha with Shlok where Astha is shown to walk out of Shlok's life, making it a fault of a mercurial daughter of a corrupt man. Whatever his gift is supposed to be, it seems that Anjali went against his wishes of making a public spectacle. So Kirloskars were not invited.

Niranjan who had seemed so happy at Anjali doing his bidding decided to punish her even more viciously than making her walk bare foot. It was poignant to see fearful Anjali walking to the door to close it so that Niranjan can beat her up. Her suffering remains private though where she rebuffs any inquiry - false (Sojal) or genuine (Vinayak). So Anjali is indeed a caged bird whose wings have been clipped so badly. What is keeping her so tied to Niranjan? Her pride, sick attachment (as in stockholm syndrome), financial dependence, fear of losing whatever relationship she has with her kids, or some sort of atonement for giving in to this way of life?

Vinayak of course was looking sarcastic at Anjali attempts to hide her wounds that were not being hidden even by thick makeup. But it seems that Niranjan is getting careless as he is getting fearful of losing control in his house. That's why even the obtuse Sojal has started observing things. Abhay was smiling knowingly at Anjali's excuse of knocking into the door. A bully recognizing another bully and is that why Niranjan tolerates Sulbha and Abhay?

Abhay of course has figured out the insecurities of Sojal and is taking full advantage of it. The more there is a distance between Sojal and Varad, the more advantage Abhay is bound to take. Sojal has become too desperate for some importance, as even her own mother is so obviously uncaring about her. So she is buying into whatever false dreams Abhay is selling her.

Coming back to Anjali, Niranjan was angry at Astha's absence from his birthday especially as it painted him in a bad light. Shlok for a change was looking defeated as he knew that it was his fault that Astha walked out of his life. There was a difference shown between Shlok and Niranjan today. Niranjan would have never let Anjali walk out of his life. But Shlok was feeling guilty for the first time in his life and hence he did not stop Astha from walking out on him though he tried to persuade her to stay. Shlok also did not use any emotional angle to stop Astha. He knows that Astha thinks highly of Niranjan and would have agreed to come back to his house with him if he had told her about his father's birthday. But he did not do so. So Shlok may be manipulative and selfish, but there remains seeds of goodness inside him.

Anjali at Niranjan's bidding went to Astha's house, but she then does not know what has happened between Shlok and Astha. She pushed Astha to the maximum, who actually was ready to go back because she was feeling indebted to Niranjan for saving Avdhoot. But Anjali in her zeal has pushed Astha to take an action that is going to fire back on her.

Astha was going to tell her parents the truth, but she was hesitant as she did not want to break their illusions. She also did not want to tell them that she had walked out on her marriage. But is Anjali going to provide a way out for Astha where she does not have to break their illusions, but can still stay with them. Kalindi is now so much feeling indebted to Niranjan that she was not paying any attention to Astha's reluctance to call back home or that Shlok did not drop Astha or that their "caring" son-in-law did not bother to check up on them. So she was pushing Astha to call Anjali so that no trouble is created for her. Then she was shocked into silence by Anjali's demands. Interestingly, it was only Avdhoot who was beginning to show some signs of anger after the initial shock. So he probably will be supporting Astha in her stand to walk out of Agnihotri household.


Today besides the acting of main players, the direction was again quite good especially the subtle scene of Anjali closing the door to their room so that Niranjan could abuse her. Or Vinayak's expressions of sarcasm or look of loss on Shlok's face, who was not showing his usual arrogance or confidence, or Astha's conflict where she was not sure how to respond to her parents. I also liked the dining room scene in Kirlosker house especially the bonding scene between the father and daughter where both are trying to comfort each other.
