UPDATE 24 OCTOBER: Its showtime folks!

Pari bounces gaily into the room where the ladies are waiting to get on with their act.

Pari: (grinning Cheshire-cattily) Maine sab kuch waise hi kiya Megs, jaise tumne kaha….wo teeno aa gaye na?

Megs gives her the thumbs-up sign rather absently. "Good, good."

Pari: (pouting) Sirf good??

Megs: (getting up and hugging her, raising Angel's eyebrows in shock) Thank YOU, Pari! Aaj tumne sachmuch hamari help ki hai….

Angel: (muttering) Life mein pehli baar……

Megs: >..but right now, tumhe aur bhi kuch karna hai….

Pari: (batting her eyelashes) Kya?

Megs: Jassi ko ready hone mein thoda time hai….tab tak tum unn teeno ko jaa kar "entertain" karo na! (winks)

Pari: (winking back) Of course, of course! (calling) Jaggy babyyyyyy!! I need you here!

She goes out, allowing Meghna to turn her attention back to Jassi, Neha and Beauty, who are getting ready.

Neha: Mujhe bahut ajeeb sa lag raha hai….

Megs: Look girls….main tumhe aur kuch nahin kahungi….but remember, tumhare husbands …ya hone-wale husbands…..sochte hai ki sirf unhi ki life colourful ho sakti hai….tum unhe dikha do kit um bhi, unke bina, apni boring life ko exciting bana sakte ho….Chak de!

Armaan, Nandu and Raj dust themselves as best as they can and stumble to the place where all the action is: the theatre room.

Just as they enter the darkened room, avoiding bumping into drunken guys and girls on the floor, the stage is bathed in arclights. They look up expectantly.

To their shock, Jaggy B comes onstage, dressed in a glittering Flamenco costume. And following him, in a stylish, slinky skirt and top, is Pari!

Raj nearly chokes on the drink which he has grabbed from a passing waiter.

"Pari! Yeh yahaan kya kar rahi hai??"

Armu: (furiously) Tune suna tha na…..usse Jassi ne invite kiya hai…..Pari ko!! Isse invite kar sakti hai par mujhe nahin!

Raj: Obviously! Pari uska husband nahi hai…..jo Jassi karne ja rahi hai, wo Pari dekh sakti hai, tu nahin!

Armu scowls at the stage. Pari, oblivious to anything but her presence on stage, begins dancing to "Beedi jalayi le", with Jaggy giving perfect accompaniment.

Jassi peers gleefully through the curtains.

"Armaan Suri, yeh to shuruaat hai….aage aage dekhiye, hota hai kya!"
