Wedding Evening.
The wedding is taking place at the Juneja Mansion.
At the Rampal's :
The house is decorated with Orchid and lily flowers. There are satin coloured dupattas obverglowing from one pillar to another and falling down from the railing of the stairs...The dupattas are in the colour of red and yellow. Tissue coloured dupattas in pastel shades are falling from the cieling.
RIshabhs Mother is sitting and seeing the baskets, Sumer Singh is overlooking the shagun ka saman to be given to the bahu and her family. The stuff is then packed in the car. Taukris and fruit and mithai comes and is kept aside. the girls conme down and get ready to go the Juneja's to driop the decoration and help out.
There is sadness in Rishabhs Moms face. Its a day , any mother would be proud of, but for her, somewhere deep down she was being party to spoiling not one but four girls life. She wished she could make her son see reason. But alas, When it came to him deciding to do something, there was no way, she or any one could stop him.
At the Juneja's:
The hadli ceremony and the chuda ceremony is on at ull swing.
Since Heer didnt have any mama, Lalit Juneja did the honours of being the mama and puts on the chudas for Heer and one of her kaleeras..the rest of the kaleeras are put on Heer by Meher, Ashlesha and Kulraj..haldi is put 7 times by unmarried girls first and then by married at 7 joints.
Heer has a flashbak of her wedding preparation whereby during the haldee ceremony there was one katori of haldi and oil left which Preet mixed and put all of it on Heer's face and hair...
Its about 4 pm and the beauticians and the hair dressers come to dress up Heer. Heer wears her bridal finery which is basically of a satin material but has a net lining on top and the lehnga is filled with Svaroski crystals. There are gold threads running all over and again its very delicately done haath ka kaam.
Heer is in her room, she has worn her blouse and the lehnga. Her face is being done up. Meher has got ready and is wearing a black kanjivaram saree, Gayatri is wearing a begali saree, while Ashlesha and Daljeet are wearing banarsis saree
The Men are dressed in suits.
Heers make up is done and her hair has been tied in a juda. her gunghat is drapped on her head (her face is not covered) and is falling on her arms and other end of the ghunghat is tucked to one of the sides.
Heer is adored with jewllery and Lalit comes in with he family polki set which the brides wear. La;it says, socha tha, jab tu bahu bankar aayegi, to tujhe doonga,... par tujhe to main beti jaise ghar se vida kar raha hoon.... yeh tere liye. Chota Hai janta hoon, par issme is ghar se sanskar hai aur pyar hai.
With tears in his eyes, lalit leaves from there,
Heer is left alone for a while where she tries to come to terms with her fate.
Gaurav who is overing the event is dressed in a cream and gold angrakha with lots of gota work done on it with cream coloured aligarhi pyjamas and delicately embrodered mehroon colour shawl like uparna which was hung around his neck.
The Ramapals on the other hand are getting ready for the seharbandi. Rishabh is dressed in mehron kurta and cream coloured pjyamas.
Flashbak of Gaurav :
Prem comes down with an amused look on his face. Gayatri is dressed in light blue tissue saree with old embrodered zari work on her saree and she puts a khandaani haar around her neck and Lalit puts the traditional kada on his hand. After the tilak and aarti which is done by Gayatri.
Gayatri comes forward with sehar and ties it on Prems head. Head looks down as this is being done. The sisters come firward to help gayatri ... everyone starts clapping...
