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

I am breaking my vrath and am back with my dangerous views😃. I really wanted to stop myself from writing my views today and wanted to wait a few more days. But I realized, I cannot hold it in, especially when I like it.😛
Coming to the episode, Aditi tells Aastha that she misplaced the keys and she is unable to open her bags. Aastha provides her with a saree. This act didn't seem that innocent to me or am I reading too much into it?😕
Aastha thinks of ways to fix the mess she made. She wants to tell Anjali that she broke the jar of achar. Before Aastha reveals anything, Anjali tells her that Sahib's prestige depends on achar and Aastha has to make sure it turns out good. Aastha doesn't want to disappoint neither Anjali nor Niranjan. She schemes in her little head about how to deal with the situation. She could make the achar again but she is Aastha! How can she remember such things?! She smartly pries the recipe out of Anjali by telling her that it would be nice if they give Aditi, the recipe along with the pickle. She is determined to meet Anjali's expectations and not let Niranjan down. Why is that?!😛
Shlok has to pick a fight with Aastha when he sees her using his Ipad. How can he let go of this opportunity? But she happens to be Aditi in Aastha's saree. Shlok seemed taken aback. Aditi probably reminds him of someone. Aastha introduces them. Aditi talks as if she has so much familiarity with Shlok. She tries to remind him of their childhood. If we go by Anjali's account, Aditi was 4 yrs old when they last met her. How could she remember their childhood so clearly? Either she is lying or Anjali is.😕 Shlok had a lost expression when she was talking. His expressions switched between familiarity and confusion. Aastha takes a dig at him saying he was so enthusiastic about picking a fight with her that he didn't even realize that she is Aditi. He looks out of the window at Aditi followed by Aastha. They look so similar. Creepy😕. And that trademark scheming Shlok music plays in the background.😕
Aditi is on a spree to impress all the Agnihotris. She makes Aloo bhajiya and chai for everyone. She praises Anjali and even Sojal and Jaya. She talks about giving importance to men over women, sanskaar, girls should know cooking etc. In short, she acts exactly like an ideal Agnihotri bahu. Number one student of Anjali as Jaya calls her. Niranjan is full of her praise and Anjali gives a tight smile and thinks about Aastha. Aastha is busy making the pickle in their bedroom.
Shlok joins everyone for tea and Aditi offers him aloo bhajiya with mayonnaise and it triggers Swathi again. He leaves in a rush. In all this I felt that there is something fishy about Varad. Or I could be reading too much into his strange expressions.
Later in the night Niranjan offers Ajinkya to be a guest lecturer in his institutions. Niranjan doesn't do anything without a reason. I feel his reason is Aditi. Meanwhile Aastha finished making her pickle and she was about to drop the jar again when Shlok came to her rescue. He has a reason to pick a fight with her again and he cannot let go of it. He tells her that he was happy when she lived in the guest room. He asks her if she doesn't understand the difference between bedroom and storeroom. He, who played with her chastity belt in the storeroom😳, asks her that. Hmmm😛. No matter how much he tries to rile her up, Aastha doesn't take bait and leaves him confused. And I am confused about this Jyothi's mystery pregnancy. Is she pregnant or not?😕
Breaking of the glass jar in yesterday's episode means its time to face the facts. In today's episode, both Aastha and Shlok save the pickle jar from breaking, which means they are going to save their marriage. I am feeling very positive about this track suddenly.👍🏼 But CVs don't take us for granted and go crazy with Aditi and Shlok. We want Shlok to touch Aastha only. Keep Aditi at a safe distance... please!
Precap: Aditi faints and Shlok lifts her. Yuck.🤢
Overall a very interesting episode. I really enjoyed it.
