Anyway I was wondering why Arnav was made to forget the trousers. Comic effect of Akash wearing Babuji's trousers? Buaji/Ammaji realising they're missing and enquiring as to their whereabouts in the future? Just to help him drop his phone in the room (as suggested by hulubulu)
This is my own personal take 😉

OS: Forgetting Something?
He put his phone in his pocket and looked around for his car keys. Wait. What had Akash said? She wasn't at home? Where the hell was she then at half 11 at night? Who had she gone to meet?
He took his phone out instantly to ring Akash back but what was he going to do? Demand to know where she'd gone and why she'd left her phone behind as if she didn't want to be disturbed? No that was ridiculous, Akash would think he'd gone crazy.
He spied his keys sitting on the bedside table and rushed over to pick them up before he hurried out of his room and to the car. There was a niggling sensation in the back of his head as if he'd forgotten something but he ignored it as he put his foot down on the accelerator.
