Hi Jonee, great write up. I loved the first few lines that you wrote.
It was a good episode. Hoping we get to see some mysteries solving this week.
Today we saw some true colors of Agni family members. Out of all 3 person's reactions interested me NA, Anjali and Aditi. We all kinda knew that Aditi is in this game but still good that they revealed it.
NA: He does not seem happy hearing the news about Jyothi's pregnancy. His reaction was shocking and I had some questions about his unhappiness.
-- Was he unhappy that Abhay found out that about male child as it will taint his image - he runs multiple women colleges and anadhashrams afterall.
-- was he unhappy that Abhay will ask for a share as he is having a male child?
-- or did he want Shlok to have kids/male heir first ? Iff we think that this is the reason, how is he very sure that Shlok will have only male child even if he is first...so I can't buy this theory.
Anjali: Today her inner child came out after having bhaang. She is the one who enjoyed the most...she danced, had masti even dragged NA and applied color on him. So, she is this free-spirited women in her youth whose spirit was crushed by NA afterall. She also smiled (infact enjoyed it for a moment) when Shlok came out in Raavan roop, she did not chide Astha about it, just gave a stern look.Last but not least she was happy about Jyothi's pregnancy but had to hide it seeing NA's unusual reaction. So, this ironlady loves her kids and enjoys it seeing them happy. She just puts up this facade for outside world as NA wants her to do it for his clean image.
Aditi: Well, we all were right in guessing that this ghost-bride/pest came to Agni mansion with a mission. For now we understand that she is after Shlok as she is so obsessed with him and almost stalks him. So, the kerosene was also spilled by her; now this acide powder is mixed by her. What will Shlok do if he finds out that Aditi is behind these 2 attacks? Now, is Adithi really on her own or is she NA's accomplice on this? NA in last epi told Anjali that he wants Astha-Shlok to be close and together then why would he play this drama along with Aditi. Aditi looks like wants to seperate them, all her loaded dialogues explain that.I wonder if she is doing this all alone, as she knows too many details about Shlok;then who is helping her?
Shlok: He did not shout at Astha even if she made fun of him by making him a raavan look-alike. He too just gave an angry look at her.. What would have been nice is him enjoying this mask/make-up of his in the mirror secretly in his room; that would have added charm to the epi. I thought I saw that in SBB segment, him enjoying raavan roop in mirror. Anyways...he says he doesn't want to drink bhaang, I think this is because he doesn't want to lose control in public. I guess he didn't let put colors because she made him as raavan-look alike.
Astha: She was cute today. She wants to see Shlok in his original self..that is all matters to her. She felt bad that he ignored but still didnt lose heart. She even openly declared she loves him after drinking bhaang.
Jyothi: She tried hard to convey to Astha about her problems but as Astha's mind was preoccupied about Shlok and how to bring color to his life, she did not pay attention. Now Jyothi has observed that her Dad has given her a cold shoulder and did not rejoice at her pregnancy what will be next step? She was happy for a moment when she hugged her brother.
Sojal and Vinayak, in the garb of Holi they just had fun which they are deprived of.
Geetanjali is the star for me today...👏⭐️she just stole the episode with her persona..very much delightful to watch her as free-spirited women.
