Avinash Raizada, the patriarch of the family, standing in the grand hall of their mansion, overseeing the wedding preparations.

Avinash: (to the decorator) "I want the decorations to be perfect. This is a Raizada family wedding, after all."

Decorator: "Yes, sir. We'll make sure everything is top-notch."

Ratna Raizada, Avinash's wife, enters the hall, carrying atray of snacks.

Ratna: "Avinash, have you eaten anything? You've beenbusy with the preparations all morning."

Avinash: "I'm fine, Ratna. Just make sure Arjun is ready for the wedding. This is a big day for him."

Arjun Raizada, the groom, enters the hall, looking dashingin his wedding attire.

Arjun: "Father, I'm ready. Let's get this weddingstarted."

Avinash: "Good, good. You look like a true Raizadason."

Meanwhile, Arnav Raizada, the younger son, who heard this respond

Arnav – Bhai, this is your wedding don’t treat it like a business deal.

Arjun: (smiling wryly) "Arnav, you don't understand.This wedding is a union of two families, a merger of our businesses. It's astrategic alliance."

Arnav: (rolling his eyes) "Strategic alliance? You'remarrying Pooja, not signing a business contract. Can't you just enjoy themoment and forget about the family business for one day?"

Avinash: (sternly) "Arnav, that's enough. You'llunderstand the importance of this union when you're older. Arjun is doingwhat's best for the family."

Arnav: (sighing) "Yes, Papa. I understand."(muttering under his breath) "But sometimes I wish we could just be anormal family, without all the drama and expectations."

Pooja, the bride, sits in front of the mirror, adjusting herjewelry. Her mother, Nalini, helps her with the final touches.

Nalini: "Pooja, you look stunning. Arjun is a luckyman."

Pooja: (smiling wistfully) "Thanks, Mummy. I justwish...I don't know, that this felt more like my wedding, and less like abusiness arrangement."

Nalini: "Pooja, you know why this marriage isimportant. It's a great opportunity for our family, and for you to secure yourfuture."

Pooja: (sighing) "I know, Mummy. It's just thatsometimes I feel like I'm losing myself in all of this. Like I'm just a pawn ina bigger game."

Nalini: "Pooja, you're strong and capable. You'll makethis marriage work, and you'll be happy. Just remember, family comesfirst."

Pooja nods, taking a deep breath. She stands up, smoothingout her wedding sari.

Pooja: (resolutely) "I'm ready, Mummy. Let's dothis."

Arnav stands at the back of the ceremony, watching as Arjunand Pooja exchange their vows. He looks uncomfortable, his eyes scanning theroom as if searching for an escape.

Arnav's thoughts: (to himself) "This is allso...forced. Arjun and Pooja barely know each other, and yet they're committingto spend the rest of their lives together. It's all about the family business,the merger, the money...where's the love?"

As the ceremony concludes, Arnav makes his way through thecrowds of guests, nodding and smiling politely. He's stopped by his father,Avinash.

Avinash: "Arnav, I'm glad you're here. This is animportant day for our family."

Arnav: ( forcing a smile) "Yes, Father. Congratulationsto Arjun and Pooja."

Avinash: (sternly) "Arnav, I expect you to support yourbrother and his new wife. They will be an important part of our family'sfuture."

Arnav: (hesitating) "Yes, Father. I'll do mybest."

As Avinash walks away, Arnav's eyes meet Pooja's across theroom. He sees a flicker of uncertainty in her eyes, and his concerns about themarriage deepen.

Wedding Reception

Arnav makes his way through the crowds of guests, searching for Pooja. He finds her standing alone, sipping a glass of juice.

Arnav: (approaching her) "Bhabhi, can I talk to you fora minute?"

Pooja: (smiling politely) "Of course, Arnav. What's on your mind?"

Arnav: (hesitating) "I don't know, Bhabhi. I just get the feeling that you're not really happy about this marriage."

Pooja: (laughing nervously) "What are you talking about, Arnav? I'm fine. This is what our families want, and I'm willing to make it work."

Arnav: (skeptically) "That's just it, Pooja. You're doing this for our families, not for yourself. Don't you ever feel suffocated by all the expectations and responsibilities?"

Pooja: (looking away, her voice barely above a whisper)"Sometimes, Arnav. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing myself in all ofthis."

Arnav: (gently) "Pooja, you deserve to be happy. Ifyou're not feeling it, maybe you should reconsider..."

Pooja: (interrupting, her voice firm) "No, Arnav. I'vemade my choice. I'll make this marriage work, no matter what."

Arnav nods, feeling a pang of concern for Pooja. He knowsthat she's not happy, but he also knows that she's determined to make the bestof the situation.

As he turns to face the crowd, his eyes meet Pooja's acrossthe room. She's smiling politely, but he can sense a hint of unease beneath thesurface.

Arjun: (to himself) "Yes, Pooja. You'll learn tonavigate this family's dynamics. And I'll be there to guide you...every step ofthe way."
