I'm posting my thoughts on today's episode here. My view may not always be pleasant and I don't want to spoil anyone's mood. But at the same time I value my freedom very much. So I decided to post a warning sign, for people who stumble upon this post, so that they know what to expect.
I'll post one of these symbols on top of my view on the episode everyday. So that people with delicate constitutions can avoid strong ones and read only pleasant ones
Danger Caution Pleasant

Jyothi secretly calls Anjali while Abhay is in the shower. She begs her to let her come over for a few days. Anjali outrightly quashes her hopes and tells her to come to her for some time only if javai bapu agrees to bring her over. She tells Jyothi that the husband she wishes to be away from is her identity and she will lose it if he is not with her. May be Jyothi wanted to inform her mother about her pregnancy and her fears about being forced to lose the baby if it happens to be a girl child. Don't know what Anjali's problem is but felt bad for Jyothi. Abhay finds out that Jyothi called Anjali and abuses her just for fun though he knew that Anjali would never listen to Jyothi. Later that evening he invites a friend over for dinner and that fellow praises Jyothi. Abhay gets irritated some more and beats up a pregnant Jyothi.
After Shlok, its Anjali's turn now to get sick and Aastha has the privilege to serve her too. Anjali seems to be touched by her genuine concern but she still puts on the mask of indifference and tells her to stop the drama and mind her own business. By the way, another vrath on the way.
Shlok finds the light in his den on and he decides to check it. He goes to his room to get the keys. He doesn't find them in his cupboard and he starts rummaging through Aastha's cupboard. Aastha stops him at the right time before he finds the diary. He suddenly remembers that he has a spare key under the mattress. He takes that and rushes to his den.
In the den, he finds his stuff missing. He rushes to the living room and questions everyone about it. He asks Anjali whether she knows who took his stuff since she knows about everything that happens in the house. Aastha takes the responsibility as Anjali is sick. Shlok drags Aastha to his den and asks her where she put his stuff. She tells him that the 'junk' is half-burnt anyway, so she disposed it off by burning it properly. Shlok really goes mad and shouts in her face and gives her a warning to stop messing with his life. Varad come in at the right time and saves her from the beast.
Varad reminds Shlok that Aastha doesn't know anything about his past and whether he is ready to reveal everything to her. Shlok shouts back saying that she has burned his memories in a blink and is not even remorseful about it. Varad tells him that everything happens for a reason and may be all this happened because its time for Shlok to forget the past and move on. Shlok says that he will never forget his past and he will never forgive whoever deceived(dhoka) him in the past. He tells Varad that he should not have planned Valentines day without his knowledge. He used the word 'dhoka' again here. He reiterates again that he doesn't believe in the word 'love' and and walks off leaving Varad agitated. I get the feeling that Varad is somehow involved in the dhoka Shlok faced in the past. There is guilt written all over his face when he sees that Shlok is not able to forget his past. I feel, that is why he goes out of his way to help Shlok move on.
Aastha finds Shlok drinking and thinking about Swathi, sitting in a dark corridor in the house. Aastha wonders what happened in his past that transformed Shlok into this beast. Shlok sees Aastha and walks off towards his room. Aastha was about go on her way when she gets curious and decides to follow him. She finds him burning something in the trash can. She quickly puts out the fire and asks him what he is burning. He tells her that its the sweater that her mother gave her. Aastha tells him that it is very precious for her and how he could be so insensitive to others feelings. He reminds her that the "junk" she burned, also meant a lot to him as they are his "memories". He asks her if she now understood the pain it causes to lose something precious that you can never get back. He berates her saying she doesn't even know the difference between junk and memories. Aastha who was already crying, starts to cry some more. Shlok asks her if she knows anything other than crying and tells her to stop crying. He staggers towards Aastha's cupboard and pulls a sweater from the top, the same one given by her mother. He didn't burn her sweater. He tells her that he didn't burn it because he is not as insensitive as her. But he warns her that next time he won't be so considerate if she tries to reopen his old wounds. Aastha counts even these tiny blessings and she thanks a passed out Shlok for not burning the sweater.😆 Why exactly did she thank him? 🤣
Overall I liked the episode very much. Loved Avinash and Samir today.
Other irrelevant observations:
>Abhay has a good body
>Sojal's saree was really beautiful.
>Aastha's saree has pink, blue, orange, yellow, sequin, lace, chamkila stuff and what not. Its hideous. She should seriously consider wearing single color sarees, like the one she wore for valentine's day.
