Shyam, disguised as an electrician, works at the main switch and panel of electric supply to the Raizada Mansion. Aranv as usual busy on his laptop.. sits and works in the lounging area as the decorations and preparations for the Baby Shower, Goagbharai, are in full swing. Aakash asks NK, "Is the swing available?" Nk shrugs his shoulders.. Aakash reaches for his cell phone in his pocket, says, "I will arrange for it!" Chripy NK, excitedly checks out the decorations when he notices a weird looking wire connection by the stairs... He sits down on the stairs and tries to attract Aranv's attention, "Nannav!" Arnav does not even hear him as he wonders, "What kind of wire is this!' he gets up and comes towards Aranv, "Oye! Nannav, Mere Bhai, Bro.." puts both his hands on Aranv's shoulder. Aranv rolls his eyes.. looks up, "Please, come!. Come, come..." Aranv puts his laptop down and follows him to the stairs. Takes a look at the wire in question, as NK asks, "Nannav, what is this 'dhaar'.. 'flow' for...?" Shyam happens to step at the top of stairs and listens in on tehir conversation as he watches what Aranv is up to, hides his face as Aranv turns towards NK to correct him, "It's not 'dhaar'.. flow.. it's 'taar'.. wire...!" Shaym's eyes quickly notice that they are talking about the electricity connection that goes to the camera fitted in teh ceiling of lounging area that had made it possible for him to spy on Arnav and Khushi's engagement.
Aranv decides to trace the connection. He starts pulling the wire up with the tape that has it sealed to the floor, he slowly rips it of as he along with NK traces the path. That rings a bell of caution for Shyam.. his dirty mind quickly thinks.. Lucky for him, some other workers start going down the stairs, he accompanies them. Aranv and NK carefully trace the wire. Shyam quickly makes a move, by the time Aranv gets to the large window by poolside, Shyam quickly gets up the ladder and before NK or Aranv could even doubt the connection he cuts the wire off from the camera and removes the camera. When Aranv pulls the wires they fall off. NK says, "What kind of fitting these workers have done?" Aranv says in a low voice, "I don't know. There is no equipment in the house that needs this wire!"
Now, really? Someone like ASR.. does not demand an explanation from his workers for something like this., mutters stuff under his breath? What's wrong with you ASR? I was very disappointed! All he says, "Listen!" One guy comes over, "Throw these wires away!" Shyam rejoices in his victory.. holds the tiny camera in his hand.
At the Gupta's: Garima.. deep in her thoughts.. her hands aimlessly play with the vegetable in the gift box when Buaji comes and says surprised, worried, "Haye re Nand Kisore, Oh God! What are you doing, Garima? We have to pack Anjali's gift in this box!" Garima says nothing as she looks up with a sober face and eyes.. Buaji says compassionately, "I understand it, Garima, what's bothering you on this joyous occasion! You are thinking about Arnav's grandmother, right?" Garima finally makes eye contact with Buaji as she says, "We will not give her any opportunity to complain! Won't let her be upset due to your inability to meet with her this long." Buaji hold Garima's hand and says in an emotional voice, "You know, when the first wife of Shashi died, Shashi was heart broken. Poor Payaliya.. she was so young.. Then all of a sudden, you came into his life! You put his life together again! Our Payaliya and your dead sister's daughter, Khushi... you may not have given them birth, Garima, but you raised them better than e real mother would!"
OK, since I analyze, I have to point it out - really? Since when Payal is not Garima's own child? What's going on here? Why the story is changing so many times? I will not say much except that I am very disappointed! Then Buaji says with reassurance, "Garima, you don't need to fear! Your good deeds will pay off! I am sure that you and your daughters will be very happy!" Garima cries silent tears and hugs Buaji. Buaji looks at the sky as if prays to the God.. Garima thinks, "I can do anything for my daughters! For Payal and Khushi's sake, I must meet with Subhadra ji! Even if that means I may have to be in her feet and plead for forgiveness! I will plead to ask for her forgiveness for what I did!" Garima decides, makes up her mind.
Back at RM: Shyam is at his evil work.. plays with wires at the top of staircase. Arnav climbs up the stairs, Shyam's back at him. One of the workers asks him, "This..?" Arnav says simply, "I have no idea.. " looks around.. there is no one to help.. to give instructions for decorations... so, he turns around and starts showing the guy what he would like.. "OK, put it like that.. and those lights.. raise them up.. and then the two of you go to Aakash.." by the second person he means Shyam who he can see from his backside.. but does fails to recognize. Shyam hears him.. Just then come couple more workers there. Shyam quickly finishes his job, tucks in the wires neatly and takes off as Arnav finishes giving instructions to the workers. As Aranv looks up, he finds the guy working at the top of stairs gone. He points his finger up and says, "There.." but then just takes off worried.. looking for him. He climbs up.. wonders, "Could that guy be in Di's room? " Little does Aranv know that 'that' worker, Shyam, indeed has stepped inside Anjali's room. Suspicious Aranv takes cautious steps towards Anjali's room when Shyam makes sure that no one is around and hides a yellow box underneath Anjali's bed. Aranv closely follows him. His footsteps serve as a warning sign to Shyam, he quickly gets up and pulls his cap down and steps out of the room by the poolside entrance.. saved by a hairline.. as Aranv immediately enters the room as soon as Shyam steps out!
Aranv does look at the poolside entrance with a quick gaze but sees no one. Just then opens the bathroom door and emerges Anjali. Surprised to see Aranv, she asks, "Chhotey! What happened?" Aranv asks, "Di, did anyone come inside your room? Did you call anyone for anything?" "No, not at all!" answers Anjali. Aranv gets worried, pulls out his phone and calls, "Yes, listen to me! Check company IDs on all the workers entering the house!" as Anjali watches him he says, with an edge to his voice, "No, only uniforms won't work! Understand?" Abnjali asks as he finishes the phone call, "What happened, Chhotey?" Aranv says to Anjali, "Di, so many people are roaming around. All your jewelry is around.. so, just for the sake of safety!" Anjali nods understandingly. Arnav then asks Anjali, "Di, have you had juice?" "Yes, I did!" "Di, are you alright?" "I am perfectly fine, Chhotey!" answers Anjali. Arnav leaves the room. Anjali caresses her belly and and says, "I wish.. I wish that your father were here today for the baby shower!" and sighs...
Beautifully decorated Shantivan.. guests start arriving... Nani, Mami and Payal at the door welcoming guests.. Khushi arrives with Garima and Buaji. "Welcome, Madhumati ji!" Nani says with a smile. Khushi touches Nani ji, feet to seek her blessings. Garima puts her hands together in 'Namaste' to Mamiji that Mami does not reciprocate, just rolls her eyes.
Khushi and Payal hug each other. Payal seeks Garima's blessings. "Long live!" Garima blesses her. Khushi's eyes seek someone.. she looks around in anticipation.. but does not see Arnav.. A quick glance at her family at the door and she escapes inside looking for Arnav.. Payal seeks Buaji's blessing. "Long Live" , Buaji says and hugs her. Buaji whispers, 'Payaliya, where is your Dadi? She wanted to meet Garima so badly!" Garima just watches them. Buaji hands the gifts to Payal and says loudly to Mami, "Now.. if you could call Dadi ji, she could meet with Garima!" Mami ji says with sarcasm, all dressed up and looking beautiful, as usual slightly over done, "Finally, that lucky moment has arrived! Phati saree's aunt and Dadi ji come face to face!" Garima just looks at her.. she has made up her mind.
NK pulls Arnav holding his hand and drags him up the stairs, "Come on, Nannav! Mere Bhai.. My Bro!.. Let me show you... Come on! Come On! Come on!" When all of a sudden Arnav stops and turns around as a breeze blows.. that 'same' breeze.. . His gaze settles at the entrance... NK looks at him .. questions in his eyes... Arnav's eyes have anticipation.. his lips slightly parted.. he follows Arnav's gaze.. to see... a beautifully dressed up Khushi make her entrance...nervously twisting the edge of dupatta in her hands, her eyes search for Arnav...as she looks around her gaze finds Aranv.. his steady gaze on her... Khushi's eyes show relief.. a beautiful smile flickers on her lips as her eyes communicate with Arnav's ,... His eyes sip in the mesmerizing beauty... Khushi's smile broadens briefly... A smile flickers on Arnav's lips as well, but his gaze stays steady.. Khushi lowers her gaze.. feeling shy... That intrigues Aranv more. his eyes caress her face as she nervously tugs on her earring.. before she looks up again.. both oblivious to NK who watches them.. pleasantly he asks, "Nannav, how did you know that Khushi ji has come?" To Arnav's delight, Khushi answers in almost a whisper, "It just happens!"
For the first time, Khushi said this out loud.. so, now both know that it happens to both of them! He looks at her as his eyes say, "You, too?" Khushi smiles sweetly at him. Aranv thinks for a moment.. and then.. the mischievous lover in Aranv wakes up.. He all of a sudden touches his ear, shakes his hand, a question in his gaze... Khushi thinks for a moment before and then worried suddenly reaches for both her earrings.. her eyebrows go up in a question...as if, "What?" Aranv now gestures at his nose.. touches the tip of his nose. Khushi's eyes ask, "Oh, my nose?" She lets go os the earrings and touches her nose with both both her hands... then raises her eye brows in question asking him, "What?".. Aranv now shakes his hand again and touches his cheek.. Khushi follows his lead and rubs on her cheek bones.. confused.. questions on her face and in her eyes... A mischievous smirk appears on Arnav's face... as Khushi loks up confused, she finds Aranv and NK smiling at her.. Aranv quickly grabs NK's hand and starts climbing up rest of the stairs. Confused Khushi is left behind intermittently touching her face.. worried.. Just then walks in Payal with lots of gifts in her hands.. Khushi asks her, worried, "Jiji, am I looking alright? Is there something on my face?" Payal says, "No, Khushi, you don't look just alright, you are looking very beautiful today!" Payal gently touches Khushi's face, as both sisters smile at each other.
At the door, Garima asks Mami, "Where is Dadi ji?" Manorama acts melodramatic, says, "Come, I will bring you to her! Come! Come!" 'Come on in!" Nani adds. "Welcome!" goes Mami as she starts gliding in her usual style... Buaji, Garima and Nani follow. Mami's roaming eyes find Dadi with Anjali.. getting her all settled in for the big function... As garima holds her breath, Mami instructs, "Come on, follow me!" Garima makes a tight fist, swallows hard and with determination starts following Mami. Buaji, Nani as well as Khushi and Payal join them. As Mami glides, Garima's fist tightens more.. Dadi still working with Anjali.. As everyone approaches Dadi, a lady comes over and asks Dadi, 'dadi ji, pooja thali?" Dadi rushes to get it as Mami calls out, 'hello Hi Bye Bye.. Dadi Ji!" Garima's held breath is released. she also releases her fist... Mami wonders loudly, "What?.. Exit before introduction?" gives Garima a look and leaves.. Buaji and Nani rush to Anjali. Payal hands gifts to Khushi and asks her to take those away. Then Payal says to Garima, 'Amma, come on! I will bring you to see Dadi ji!"
NK kisses the packet in his hand as he dumps the packets of chips on the coffee table. Just then walk in Aakash and Arnav... all dressed up looking breathtakingly handsome.. Nk says with excitement, "Welcome, boys, welcome! If it is all women's party downstairs then we can do 'tamacha'.. 'slap'.. here!" Aakash raises both his hands, says with frustration, "Tamasha.. tamasha... show.. a scene.. NK Bhai!" Aranv just looks at him... slight amusement in his eyes.. Aakash asks, "NK Bahi, what plans have you made that will create a scene..." he says in NK's style as drops himself on the sofa... As Aakash and Aranv look on, NK says, 'Ok! OK! Let me tell you plan.. My plan is... tadaaa... " he makes a dramatic gesture and lifts a DVD from the table, says, "We will sit and watch a nice horror movie! What say?" Aakash takes his eyeglasses off and mutters under his breath, "We are finished!"
Dadi stands in front of Devi Maiyya, says in her mind, "I really wish that Damadji could be here for Anjali's baby shower...
but the circumstances are... " she lifts the pooja cloth and starts folding it. Payal and Garima walk in. Payal says, "Amma, Dadi ji!" Dadi continues t fold the chunri with her back to Garima as Payal says, "Shall we?" Garima starts taking steps forward.. Payal walks with her. Garima's facial muscles gradually tighten as they approach Dadi. To Garima's distress Dadi turns around but a woman walks in just in time to obstruct Dadi's view. Both talk for few moments before Dadi takes off. "Dadi ji, " calls Payal after her. Payal puts her comforting hand on Garima's shoulder and says, "Amma, Dadi ji is very busy today. I will have you meet with her later on." Unaware that Garima is probably relieved, Payal asks, 'Shall we leave from here now?" Garima nods. "Come!" Payal takes her away with a smile.
A Great, Hilarious Moment: Khushi comes, picks up her phone that's ringing. She looks at the caller's name, "Arnav ji!" with a smile she answers the phone, says with fake anger, "You were joking, right? And me! I was feeling for my ears, nose, cheeks.. everything!" Aranv says in a serious tone, "There is something on your face even now!" "What?" Khushi says with some worry.. touches her face.. "A small red nose!" comes Arnav's mischievous voice. Khushi retorts, "My nose is not red!" Aranv does not give up, "But it's small!" Aggravated Khushi opens her mouth to protest but then controls herself and says, "I am hanging up!" Arnav at his mischievous best says in a slightly teasing voice, 'Oh, okay! So, you will hang up on me without playing 'You First'?" That brings a mischievous smile to Khushi's face.. just then walks in Buaji. Khushi puts her hand on the mouthpiece and calls Buaji with a whisper, Buaji!" Aranv listens on with anticipation... a twinkle in his eye.. a flicker of mischievous smile on his face.. when comes Buaji's voice on the phone, "Hello!" He moves the phone away from his ear, mutters "What The" under his breath as Buaji's aggravated voice says, 'Haaye re Nand Kisore.. who is it? Hello...!" Aranv quickly turns around, throws the phone at NK, "Dude, phone!" Nk catches the phone perfectly, "Who?" "I don't know.. some girl.." says Aranv. NK excitedly stands up and says, "A girl?.. for me?" Aranv makes a face as if he does not know. 'whatever'... NK starts on the phone with excitement as Aranv goes and sits next to Aakash, "Hey, Hello! What's up?" Aakash goes to ask Aranv when Aranv offers the answer himself as he opens a magazine, "It's Buaji!" Aakash's eyes go wide at the prank!
"Now, you called me, so are you going to say something or not?" Buaji says with aggravation on the phone. "Ohhh! So, you want to talk with me in Hindi!" NK stretches every word in a playful tone.. then he goes, "But don't worry, my Hindi is also 'machhi'... fish!" Aakash reflexively raises his hand to correct NK when Aranv puts his hand on Aakash's shoulder and gives him a squeeze to stop him from doing so.. NK continues, "It very very machhi!"
OH, ASR>. this fits with your character.. you can have this kind of fun with NK! When the poor guy intends to say "achhi' meaning 'good', he ends up saying, 'machhi' meaning 'fish'. But what you did, does suit you very much! I loved it! On the other side, Buaji is all confused, "What?" Nk says in English then, "I mean, too good! My Hindi's too good! Too Good!" "Then say achhi.. good, Nand Kisore.." NK's eyes go narrow first and then wide, as he exclaims, "Arey! Amazing! You know my name too!" Excitedly he makes a gesture towards Aakash and Aranv that the girl on the phone knows his name, his joy boundless, "But.. Just a minute! Your voice is somewhat known-unknown to me.. " he messes up again his Hindi but continues, "Let me guess! Where have I seen you?. Where have I heard you before/" NK's face chnages with horror as he remmebrs his New Year's flash Balck with him getting married to Buaji and their "I do" and "Hum hoo do, Nand Kisore.. " .. NK looks at the phone with horror, holds his heart and screams loudly! Aranv and Aakash look on.
OK, this one scene has never failed to crack me up no matter when. where and how many times I watch it. I cannot stop my laugh! It is simply hilarious! and the way NK held his heart today! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! This scene stole the show today!
Anjali's baby shower progresses well. Eevryone loks on as Anjali dressed as almost a bride sits and takes the offerings, the gifts and best wishes of visitors. All the ladies of the family sit and watch Anjali with affectionate eyes. Buaji and Mami ji ward off the evil. Khushi sits next to Anjali and keeps her company with a smile. Garima sits restless.. her eyes looking in different directions with worry and fear.. unsettled.. she sits in front, unaware of Dadi ji sitting at the other corner. Dadi cannot see her face. Anjali caresses her tummy again as she talks to her baby, "I am waiting eagerly for your arrival! .. for you to call me 'mother'.. and always stay with your parents!" One of te ladies when goes to wish Anjali says, "Long live, dear! May no bad eye can cast evil on you!" and then she says, " I thought.. your husband.. must have sneaked in making some excuse in this ladies only function!" Dadi, Buaji, Nani ji, Khushi, Mami, and Payal.. all their faces change.. as the lady continues, "Because we all know how lively he is! Where is he? Didn't see him outside either!.. Be Happy!" and leaves. Anjali looks at Dadi with restless eyes, Dadi nods and gestures her to hold it!
The women start talking among themselves, "Ok, Bharti! Really, her husband is not to be seen anywhere! Has something happened?" "Definitely, something has happened. otherwise Damad ji would have never left Anjali alone!" "So, what happened? .. Damad ji left the house.. or.?"
Dadi grabs the opportunity, "Do you realize now, Devyani, what I have been trying to say for so long? This all is the result of Arnav's stubbornness and being adamant!" Khushi asks Anjali, "Have you taken your medication?" Anjali nods in negative. Khushi gets up saying, "I will get you some water!" As Arnav descends down the stairs he hears Dadi say, "I say it is not late yet! Let's call Damad ji!" His feet stop as he listens to her, "Everyone will shut up for good! Call him! I am sure that he will come back! And whatever has gone wrong in this house..." Aranv interrupts, "Dadi, that man will never come back in this house!" his face firm, his jaw tight, eyes cold and raged, Arnav looks at Dadi with a steady gaze as she looks at him startled!
Really? The brother-in-law of the rich and famous Aranv Singh Raizada gets thrown out of the house and no one knows? What is the media doing? What about the wagging tongues all the time people have,.. ? Why does Nani look so bothered? So if people talked, gossiped, picked on someone, one must change their decisions - is this what Dadi is suggesting? And since when has a baby shower required a bride's attire? Sorry, do not mean to pick on the team but if I have to do justice with the term 'analysis' then it's my job to point these things out. I will stop here.
