Armaan is protesting in JandA's room. "Jassi for heaven's sake…..tum mujhse yeh sab kaise karva sakti ho??"
Jassi: (pouting) Kyun….tum meri behn ke kiye itna nahin kar sakte?
Armaan: Lekin Jassi, iss sab ki kya zaroorat hai? Nandu ko sab sach-sach bata do, aur shaadi fix kar do…yeh sab drama kyon kare?
Jassi: Kyunki saara maza issi mein hai….Armaan Suri, main jaisa keh rahi hu waisa karo….tum Maddy ke kehne pe ladki ban sakte ho, toh mere kehna pe Samarjeet Singh nahin ban sakte?😆
Armaan: (shuddering) Don't remind me!
Jassi giggles, as the flashback shows the (in)famous drag queen episodes when Armaan was forced to dress up as Miss Hawa Hawai because he lost a bet to Maddy. 😆Armu sighs and submits to Jassi's demands. She gets busy, giggling as she dresses him up. Finally, the results are there for us to see:
Armaan has been transformed into a Sardarji, complete with magenta turban, fiery moustache and luxuriant beard. He gazes in shock at himself in the mirror. "Jassi…yeh main hi hoon na?"
Jassi: (fighting back laughter) Haan….yeh tum hi toh ho……Sam!!
(Hmm….are TnD suffering from a KANK hangover?😉)
Armu: (panicking) Lekin mujhe toh theek se Punjabi bolni bhi nahin aati….agar pakda gaya toh..?
Jassi: Iski chinta tum mat taro….Sam Singh "Canedda"–returned hai, uska accent aur bhasha, dono angrezi hai…..agar koi problem hui bhi toh hum sab hai na sambhaalne ko!
Vedika enters and collapses with laughter. Armaan gazes disconsolately at her. "Dekho…..ab meri beti bhi mere upar hans rahi hai!"
Vedika: (between fits of laughter) Nahin Papa, aap bahut cute lag rahe ho!
Jassi: (picking up Ashish) Ab chalo…..Nandu ke aane se pehle tumhe iss ghar se baahar smuggle karna hai….
Meanwhile, as per the plan, Bebe latches on to Nandu. "Arre….tu ab tak taiyar nahin hua?"
Nandu: Taiyar? Kis ke liye?
Bebe: Lo….iss ladke ko toh kuch pata hi nahin hai….arre, hamari Beauty ko aaj ladkewale dekhne aa rahe hai…..Ladka Canneda-returned hai….bada achcha rishta hai….toh saare gharwalon ko taiyar rehne chahiye na..! Ja….ja ke kapde badal le….
She leaves quickly, peeking brightly out of the corner of her eye to see how he is taking it. He gazes at the water tank for a few moments as if contemplating jumping into it, then apparently decides against it (probably because the water reaches up to only one's waist!😉😆) and shuffles inside wearily. He catches a quick glimpse of Beauty being led away to dress by Bua, but before he can say anything to her, Bua herds her away.
Billu and Puru are nervously pacing the courtyard.
Billu: Aapko kya lagta hai….yeh sab karna theek hai..?
Puru: (sheepishly) Waise….mujhe thoda ajeeb sa lag raha hai….lekin Nandu ko "push" karne ka yahi ek tareeka hai….bhai sahab, kabhi-kabhi chup rehne se bahut der ho jaati hai…jab main college mein that oh…..
He stops shot as Ila walks towards them, looking edgy. "Puru, mujhe bahut uncomfortable lag raha hai….Armaan saari acting kar toh lega na…?"
Puru: Don't worry…..wo bilkul Oscar-winning performance dega….aakhir….
"…daamad kiska hai!" Billu butts in proudly. Ila and Puru stare for a moment, then join him in hearty laughter.
Inside, Nandu is shrugging off his shirt and changing into a clean one, muttering angrily—
"Huh--Canada-returned! Bada aaya Beauty se shaadi karne…..main bhi Nandan Verma hun, Gulmohur ka Finance Head….uski vaat laga dunga!" 😛
Finally, the appointed hour arrives. Samarjeet Singh pulls up in a taxi, accompanied by his Beeji—Meghna in a white wig and blue Patiala salwar!! 😆Chaman, fighting back laughter, escorts them inside. The family greet them warmly—with the exception of Nandu, who glares at this intruder as if looks might kill. They settle down and wait expectantly for the arrival of Beauty.
