Chhotu's father came to Mumbai to join Chhotu for going to Udaipur for Sameer's wedding. Chhotu told him about Mona. He was sceptical but after meeting Mona he was very much impressed. He was happy to know that she was independently working and managing her own life. This was the quality what he always wanted in his daughter-in-law because he knew the nature of Chhotu's job. Chhotu had to put his life in danger in many cases and if anything happened to him, his wife should be strong enough to handle the situation. And Mona too was an army officer's daughter and ETF Chief's sister, so she understood the complications of this profession.
He had spent most of his life in a village and worked for the welfare of villages. He always believed in women's education and put all the efforts to get free education for the girls of the village so that they are independent.
After meeting him, Mona was also impressed and she promised to visit the village and help him in his social work in village.
He met DSR, Suman and Sameer in Udaipur and they decided to get Mona and Chhotu engaged soon.

Shree's parents came to Mumbai from Kolkata and he told them about Navika. They were a bit upset a bit but he convinced them to meet Navika. He also told them about Navika's sister's death and they felt bad about her.
Navika told her parents about Shree and they were a bit sceptical. But they too agreed to meet Shree's parents before making an opinion.
Shree's parents were invited to Navika's place a day before they left for Udaipur. Shree and Navika were very nervous.
Parents of both Shree and Navika were shocked to meet each other.
Mr Sharma and Mr Sen were shhoting angry glares at each other accusing each other of no contacting the other, whereas Mrs Sharma and Mrs Sen looked at them sarcastically and greeted each otehr with a warm hug. Shree and Navika were totally confused.
Mrs Sen told them that Mr Sharma and Mr Sen were childhood friends and fighting like kids over petty issues was not new to them and said to leave both the friends alone. And later they were neighbors for a few years before both of them were transferred to new cities and lost contact.
After sometime Mr Sharma and Mr Sen reconciled and bonded like their old days. Mr and Mrs Sen were sad to know about Mr Sharma's elder daughter. They remembered playing with her when she was a child.
Mr and Mrs Sen assure Mr and Mrs Sharma that they dont need to worry about Navika and that very soon they will be finalizing Shree and Navika's wedding date.
All this was way beyonds Shree and Navika's imagination.
Both the families leave for Udaipur.

All was set for Sameer and Annu's marriage.
Suman and Mr Rathod knew that being a Bengali Annu might feel a little awkward with all Rajput wedding rituals so they decide to get Sameer and Annu married with Bengali rituals too. The decide to Have a Bengali wedding first, but during a funny banter, Sameer opposed it and insists on having a Rajput wedding first and Bengali wedding later. Though he was not a chauvinist but still he insisted on it which he had to regret later.
Suman had seeked Shree's parents help for Bengali wedding rituals. Mr and Mrs Sen were touched by this gesture and and they already had a soft corner for Annu and Riya after knowing about their past. Since they didnt have a daughter, they agreed to help.

People of a comparatively small town Udaipur still had a luxury to have independent row house with a garden unlike people of big cities like Mumbai who lived in cramped apartments with no sight of greenery around.
Mr Rathod too had maintained a small lush garden in the open area outside his cosy bunglow "Ashirwad". Suman had got it specially decorated for Sameer and Annu's wedding as some small ceremonies were to be performed here.
For main wedding rituals they had booked a marriage hall few feet away from their place.
