Shlok says I don’t care, she is my wife, I’m not related to you, you don’t have any right to talk to Astha like this. Taai asks Shlok not to talk like this with Anjali. She says if you don’t give respect to your mum, even Astha won’t give respect. Shlok leaves. Taai asks Astha to do as they say as its her duty to obey them being in limits. Taai asks Anjali not to tell this to the men of the house, as its important to hold respect in their hearts. Anjali tells Astha I made it clear that you need to stay away from Shlok till the puja.

Astha hears this.
Astha tells Anjali not to scold jyoti, as it was not her mistake, she was ….. Anjali says this is your first mistake, so I m forgiving you, but if you speak in between me and my daughter again, it won’t be good. She says if you got in laws like jyoti got, you would have known. She says think what I should do with you. jyoti cries. Astha tells her sorry. She says I respect Anjali a lot but I don’t know why is she so strict. jyoti asks her to agree with Anjali on everything, only then you can be happy.
