Aastha and Shlok Separation. If they are going for separation, wonder how they take the story forward? Will Aastha leave Agnihotri Mansion because Shlok asked her to apologize to his dear Baba? Will Niranjan ever allow Aastha to leave Agnihotri Mansion alive, and risk damage to his public image? Wouldn't he rather try to create misunderstandings and make Shlok like him? Would Shlok become like him? I don't know if they are taking that route, but I for one, am not a big fan of going in circles with marriage, misunderstanding and divorce. Misunderstandings keep happening in marriages and I don't think people solve these through divorces/separations again and again. I would rather like to see them deal with their differences while staying together under one roof. If divorce is inevitable, there should not be a remarriage. I mean, we already saw two marriages and quite a few suhaag raats. Viewers may not mind watching many more marriages and SRs but the makers and actors might.
Super Sleuth Aastha. Will Aastha don the detective avatar now and collect proofs against Niranjan, like she did in Aditi case?! Well, she was unsuccessful with Aditi and got kidnapped. Will something like that happen again with Niranjan?! Will Shlok be shattered to know his Baba's real face and cry twice as much as he cried for Swathi?! Honestly, it would be more interesting if Shlok already knew about his dear Baba all along. Let's see how they take this forward.
Jyothi's divorce and legal action against Abhay/Sulbha. This is one thing I really wish they bring forth asap. Legal action on Abhay under Domestic Violence Act as well as for female foeticide would ensure that Little Jyothi will be free from him forever. Sulbha must be punished too. She committed murder twice! This should be the ideal course of action for Jyothi. I don't know how they will incorporate Sidharth into this.
Normally, any woman who is set on protecting her child from any kind of harm, would think of keeping her baby away from abusive environment, as much as possible. I have known my aunt do that with her kids. She didn't divorce her husband or take any legal action on him but stayed separate from him with her parents until the boys grew up into able young men. Her husband was not as vicious as Abhay that he would kill her / her kids, but she still took the kids away from that environment. Now her husband stays with her and the sons. He doesn't abuse her anymore.
Would Sojal become Niranjan's pawn, like Anjali was, in his mission to "deal" with Aastha?! Oh Sojal! Sojal doesn't have a single soul in that house that really cares for her, not even her own daughter. She toiled away all those years for everyone in that house but got only abuse from Anjali and indifference from Varad in return. Her situation is not much different from Anjali. Only thing is that Varad doesn't hit her or manipulate her into doing something wrong (Now Sojal doesn't always need someone else to tell her to do something wrong, does she?!). He ignores her and puts her down. Now he is cheating on her. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!
If someone can make her stop hating Aastha, it must be Anjali and Varad. Those are the people who wronged her the most. I would like a scene between Anjali and Sojal, not like all those scenes before, where Anjali is rude to her, but with a difference this time. For once, I would like her to say sorry to Sojal for mistreating her and counsel her about right and wrong, like she would do with her own child. Anjali got some love from Aastha. Now she should pay it forward and show some love and acceptance towards Sojal. I also want a scene between Varad and Shlok, not like all those scenes where the big brother counsels the little one, but a scene where the little one shows the mirror to the big brother.
A peek into the past. I would love to get a glimpse of Varad, Shlok and Jyothi childhood. I want to know what Anjali went through as a young mother of three kids and how she became so submissive. I ask my MIL all the time about my husband's childhood and she is always glad to tell those stories, both good and bad. I would like Aastha to ask Anjali about Shlok's childhood, his likes, his dislikes, his fears, his good/bad experiences etc. May be they can draw some parallels between Kavya and their childhood probably, through Varad as a kid growing up in a bad marriage or through Jyothi's childhood experiences as a girl child growing up in that regressive household. We see them talking about these sometimes but I would like to see them actually. I always loved children oriented shows, especially those where kids act their ageš¤. Malgudi days is my all time favorite. I used to watch Sphere Origins other production that started with kids about child marriage, until they decided to go for a leap and I plan to watch that show that Waseem directed with kids as main protagonists, only until that leap, of coarse. I am sure there will be a lot of viewers like me, who like to watch children on the show. If not whole episodes dedicated to the past, these scenes can be shown now and then. Yeah I understand that its not easy to find three suitable kids with acting abilities and there may be many other factors against this but... I so want to see this phase in the lives of Agnihotris, in B&W. Also I love this picture of Geetanjali, where she looks her age.
