Well penned sasu. You have written exactly my view in a concise form. I have full sympathy and trust on Malhar and I agree he is the most sufferer of the lot.This would have not so completed if Cvs would have kept the leap for small duration. They wanted to make a whole new version of it with old flavors. I dont think Trilok had confessed but i think Kaka And Malhar had found some solid clue against him. Baki tumne jo bola usmey point hai....
Argument can be made for both sides.
I think Kalyani was angry at Moksh's death and the fact that Malhar shot her, and she wanted him to come after her, try and find her and prove his love to her. She feels he is the one at fault, not her. So from her POV it makes sense. I'm sure she has been hearing updates about him for the past 5 years. I'm sure she didn't forget about him, she just never reached out to him, cause she felt he should be the one to reach out to her.
Why come back to Aurangabad? She wanted to find him. She can look for Anu from anywhere. She doesn't need to be in Aurangabad to find Anupriya. And if she was unable to find Anupriya in the past 5 years, she must have known chances of Anupriya being in Aurangabad is also less. I think she came back for Malhar only, cause this way she can interact with him. She thought he would know she was alive.
Btw seeing the flashbacks to 5 years ago, I feel Kaka discovered something that was previously unknown to the family. Cause Kaka first said that he would jail Malhar for Kalyani's death, then he changed and acquitted Malhar by saying until Kalyani's body was found it could not be a murder. But Kaka is not the type to deceive people like that and Malhar wouldn't avoid punishment either if he was guilty. So some new info was discovered. I think Trilok may have confessed to firing the gun and both Rane men knew about it but no one else believed them. Seemed like they were trying to blame Trilok to avoid punishment for Malhar.
Its not logical or right, Kalyani should given Malhar the benefit of the doubt, but I actually don't even think she doubts him, this is not a trust issue. I think it's just her anger and ego and grief that is the issue. Deep down, she knows he's innocent, she still loves Malhar a lot and can't see him humiliated or in pain. She just feels betrayed.
I also think AS knew that Kalyani was alive all this time and made sure that she was unable to find Anupriya until Anupriya was fully brainwashed by AS. AS wants her pothi and wants to control Anupriya.
That's why I keep saying that who shot Kalyani truth should be revealed ASAP.
