Sai's eyes looked so beautiful today. I've never seen them look so nice before. For a change the hair looked decent too. 
I loved the confrontation between Imlie and Agastya. It was quite interesting back and forth. Strange how Noyonika is happy with how much value Agastya places on honesty but wasn't herself honest with him about her past. 
Today we can see the layering of characteristics and dare I say this writing is really good. This is classic Pride and Prejudice reboot. One has pride about her work and conviction about the way she is doing things and the other has lot of prejudice about bar singers as he himself lived through that life in his early childhood. 
Imlie - She has her pride. She knows that she has done wrong in hiding the fact that she is a bar singer. But that was her only option as if Agastya knew that she was a bar singer, he would have never allowed her to step into the kitchen. I loved the way Imlie says that for her Ashu she is ready to take a bullet too so a few taunts are not going to stop her. And everyone needs to have a friend like Bunty. He was the perfect sounding board for Imlie. I loved the way Bunty was afraid that Imlie would be humiliated at her job by the boss and did not want her to go. I just hope the creatives keep giving the scenes between Imlie and Bunty later after marriage too and don't erase of the character. 
Agastya - Today you can see the pain in Agastya's eyes. Being a bar singer's son was a big cross to bear for little Agastya. He knows the way people look down on bar singers and he saw his mother being subjected to the leers and the taunts of perverts. I feel he resents Imlie at subconscious level as it is his defense mechanism kicking in due to her bar singing profession. I liked the way the confrontation between Imlie and Agastya went about today. Both had their valid points though Imlie was correct in saying that It is not lack of talent that is stopping Imlie from being a chef but rather his zidd. Yes when the tempers cool down, Agastya will realize that he was wrong in judging Imlie just because of his past experiences. Also in the precap for thursday, we have Agastya seeing that the jeeja is at the bar and Imlie slaps the jeeja. So is that the reason why Agastya marries Imlie as contract marriage? One thing I feel good is that Agastya knows that he did get lucky in having the family adopt him and raise him and that is why he loves and respects everyone in the family. At some level he does respect his step sister and his step mother too even though they do not accept him as his own. And Agastya was very fair in his dealing and putting his point of view to Nyonika. He knows he was not ready for marriage and he is doing this just for the family pressure but he expects the relationship to have honesty. 
Nyonika was talking big words but she was being completely dishonest. Had it been the Agastya who was dishonest some people would have ripped into him saying he was being opportunistic and is taking advantage of an innocent female and what not. When we hold the male leads to a certain yard stick then Nyonika was also wrong in misleading Agastya and hiding the abortion truth from him when all the guy was expecting was honesty in the relationship and was being so honest himself. 
Waise how does the manager know that she is Imlie whereas Agastya knew her as Nyonika only? I liked the way Investors were adamant on having Imlie as the chef. Can't wait for how or what makes Agastya come back to the bar in search of Imlie.
