Had it not been in the context of suhaag raat and sharirik sambandh, today's episode was some sort of caper. People were coming in and going out of Sharma Nivas at will!
"In logon ne mere saath do baar game kheli hai...ab main inhi ka game inke saath khelungi"
This is Indu. Why can't they keep her away from matters that are adult (in every damn way!)?? What does she know about suhaag raat or sharirik sambandh?? And what prevents the adults in the house from behaving like adults and drawing a line for her? Even after she admits that she has done the deed of 'replacing' Zara with Lahorewali, no one says anything to her. Not a glare, not a look, nothing!
Bechara Rishi 🤣 "Ek taraf kuan, ek taraf khayi" How true! In addition to two women who keep haggling for him, he has a daughter who treats him like a puppet. Thanks to her, he is locked into a room with Lahorewali. Of course, Zara, who has been needled by Indu, goes into a tizzy, sees Rishi escorting Lahorewali into the room, and she just leaves the house.
Rishi thinks he is talking to Zara and he tells her that he has to do a charade of spending the night with Lahorewali for his precious daughter. She does not respond, and he does not try to see her face either. At another time, he would have pulled her closer and tried to see her face, but today, the script required him to turn away and try to open the door. A door that Indu (naughty girl! aisa karte hain?) has locked from outside.
Now, inside such a room, where a couple is supposed to be making out, a window is left open for a black-costumed, masked guy to enter, club Rishi on the head, and kidnap the lady.
That done, the guy manages to carry the lady out of the house and the only time he is obstructed is when he crashes into a rickshaw in the street. Inder is sleeping in the rickshaw. Sharma Nivas has no space for this man. He has to sleep in an empty rickshaw. Anyway, he finally realizes that Lahorewali has been kidnapped and he even sees Zara as she is coming back from God knows where.
Back in Sharma Nivas, Indu and Seher enter the room 😲 What if something had been going on!! The horror of it!
Elsewhere in Sharma Nivas, Sunaina Guruma wants her dirty feet washed. In the meantime, it is discovered that someone has gone missing. Rishi is relieved that Zara is okay. But Indu, who now sees her mother in the doll, is crying for Mummy. Detective Inder, instead of going back to sleep in the rickshaw, enters the barsaati, sees some flower petals strewn on the floor, and lets the family know whatever he knows.
Oh...at yet another location in Sharma Nivas, Kutumb is shown putting some ropes away and Savita never changes into nightclothes. She is always perfectly turned out - complete with shawl and makeup.
In all this, we have Vanraj (what an idea, sirjee 😊) carrying out the investigation. (In between ogling at Munna, he might get some work done.) Zara, of course, cannot do anything other than stand around and watch. The police officer with Vanraj congratulates Rishi for showing him some critical proof - a pair of sandals. Tomorrow, Rishi will show Zara those sandals and allege that she has kidnapped Lahorewali.
Nail biting drama no? Tune in tomorrow for more...
