Short Update
- Tulsi manages to stall Lakshya and tell him to go after the wedding.. Lakshya and KT ask Eklavya if one day would make much of a difference… Eklavya seems defeated and tells them that he'll see what can be done… Eklavya rants to Bhoomi about how he feels helpless and alone, but he will marry KT and that's when Tulsi will feel the burn… Nakul and Sanjhi give presentations… Nakul's presentation is good, but Sanjhi's is better… Ganga chooses Sanjhi… Nakul angrily accuses her of being partial to Sanjhi because he rebuffed her advances to mend relations… Ganga is left in tears… Daksha and Gayathri Chachi instigate Tripti to ask Tulsi for dowry… Lakshya and KT having a moment, when Eklavya comes there and tells them he wants to talk to them… He tells them that he feels Tulsi doesn't want Lakshya to get the contract as Mihir is running for it too… Sahil overhears this and is puzzled… Tripti tells Tulsi she wants gold when KT comes into the house… Tulsi shoots her down… Daksha and GC support Tripti, but Tulsi is adamant… Sahil is thinking about how Eklavya is suddenly so good to Lakshya… He deduces that something is wrong… Tulsi is concerned about how to pay for the jewellery as Mihir still hasn't come back… Karan comes there and says that he will pay for them as KT is just like his daughter.. Tanya vehemently objects, stating that KT was the reason Manthan went through so much… Karan still refuses to budge…
- Tripti taunts Tanya about the jewellery she is about to get.. Tanya angrily states to herself that she will not be mocked for the jewellery that her husband paid for… She calls the jewellery store and cancels the order for the stuff that has been ordered…
************************************************************ ***************************************************
Why do they insist of showing this shot of this house every time there's a scene inside it… I think we pretty much know EVERY ROOM in it now! We know it's the house.. .You don't need to show us the damn house to make us realise it. Geeesh.
Eklavya smugly carries Lakshya's luggage down the stairs, Lakshya and KT following him…. Kt slightly adjusts Lakshya's hair, at the back of his head, and he brushes her off like a 7 year old boy, who's mother just called him a highly embarrassing nick name in front of his "cool" friends. Heh. Cute. Very cute.
Tulsi having flashbacks of Ekalvya telling her about how Lakshya isn't coming back… La la la. Move on already.
Lakshya goes to Tulsi… He bends down and touches her feet. KT smiles broadly at Tulsi. The lil *bleep*. After all that backstabbing she does to Tulsi, she has the gall to smile at her like that? I swear to God, Tulsi just needs to ship off to Hawaii and let these people deal with their own problems. Enough of looking out for everyone. They don't deserve her.
T: Lakshya… Will you listen to your grandmother? Please don't go to Dubai… The Eklavya you think is supporting you doesn't want this wedding of yours to happen…
Lakshya looks surprised. Oh here we go again. Geeez.
T: His intentions are not right…
L: Dadi, why are you always against Bhaiyya?? He wants to help us! He wants me to climb higher in life and make something of myself… I trust him!
T: This is your mistake…
KT: Enough…!! Baa, why don't you want Lakshya to go??
T: I don't mind him going…. It's just that…. My heart worries… What has been happening in this house is not right… Lakshya, cant you go after the marriage? I just don't want any obstacles in this wedding…
L: Bhaiyaa… Dadi is right… If by just one day…
KT: Yes Eklavya… Cant he go one day later? Anyway, one day doesn't make much of a difference…
E: I… I don't think so… Now Dadi is saying it… How can I go againt it??? I'll try… See what can be done?
Ekalvya smiles wryly and goes upstairs.. No doubt to rip a room apart and yell like a madman… Like all crazy angry people in Balaji shows do. How I have wished I could damage a room like that and then come back in the night to find it all pristine. But alas, I do not have a interior decorator at my beck and call like these rich people. Sigh. Power of money.
************************************************************ ***************************************************
Eklavya. Upstairs. In a room. Room surprisingly intact. But what is our favourite psycho doing? He's lighting a picture of TULSI, as in putting it on fire. WITH A GUN. Is that even possible?!!?!? Isnt a gun just capable of blowing holes in stuff? Or is this one of those fancy lighters? But it's a huge lighter that cannot possibly fit in a pocket. And you'd just look silly lighting a cig with THAT? Geeesh. My brain activity increases by the day as I ponder such dubious BS.
E: She has outwitted me twice now!!!! I feel this fire in me now!!!! You will too! When I will mary KT, you wil lburn like this… Like I am right now.
Bhoomi: WHAT ARE YOU DOING, EKLAVYA!?!?!?
E: I feel like I am dying!!!! Every time now I get closer, I get defeated… It's like I can see Tulsi laughing at me, mocking me!!!! Dammit, I feel like I cant do anything!!!!!
B: Why don't you just give that Tulsi a smack in the face? Why don't you just pick KT up and forcibly marry her!?!?!
E: I cant…! It's the one thing I cant do…!!! (something about KT's love…) I will marry KT in such a way that the entire family will be blaming Tulsi… I'll do it… You see… I feel so alone!
B: Listen… Why do you think that Tulsi wil lever get you married to KT? It's impossible! It is not possible!!
The way she said it was really weird… She said "Eeet ees eeeempohhhseeebilll!!! Eeet ees jessst not pohseeebilll!" Oh Bhoomi. Tsk tsk.
E: I know… But this is the only way I can get revenge for Dad's pain… It's the only way is can douse the fire in my heart…
B: What will you do?!!?!?
E: Just leave it to me… Let the wedding happen.. I will show her, her right place… Every day she will cry… I wont let her sleep…!
In this process, he grabs Bhoomi, gives her a few good, hard shakes and releases her. Gawd. How I thank my stars that I don't have brothers.

Saaaanjhiii! Wheeee! Nakul walks by her…
S: Hi Nakul…!!! I'm happy that you're here for the presentation…
N: You see, this time I will get it… I will lead this project…
S: I like your confidence… All the best…!
N: Thanks …
Now, this seems like a nice cordial conversation. But it isn't. Coz the guy grunts these dialogues to her in the most uncivil and grouchy manner possible. Ick. If he wasn't cute, I'd hate him.
Presentation begins. Lotta people talking. Ganga looking at all of them, WONDERSTRUCK. Soon, it's Nakul's turn…
Nakul talk talk talks…. Ganga looks impressed…
N: Those who love their children and are concerned about their health, will buy this product… Thank you…
Everyone applauds…Sanjhi looks happy….
G: I think Nakul has done a lot of research… I must say, I am very impressed…
N: (looking at Sanjhi) Your turn, maam… (thinks) Trust me, you shouldn't even be trying… Didn't you hear what everyone said about my presentation??
Oh. Confident, are we?
Sanjhi stands up…
S: Our product is gripe water… For a child to be healthy, (s)he needs a healthy stomach… My colleague Nakul Virani has already told you all the technical and medical aspects of this product… But as an ordinary customer, these facts would mean nothing to me… They just want their child to be happy… Coz if in the house, the children are happy, the house is happy…
She gives her presentation.
S: A sound sleep is needed not only by the child, but everyone in the family… Our product "Baby Dreams Gripe Water" will provide just this…
Hahahahahaha! BABY DREAMS GRIPE WATER! LMAO! WHAT A LAMEEEE NAME!!!!!!
Nakul looks threatened…
G: All presentations were remarkable…. But as a consumer, I would like Sanjhi's presentation best… congratulations Sanjhi… Your presentation has been approved…!
Nakul looks thoroughly put off…. He stands up and goes to Ganga…
N: If you liked hers so much, why did you call me here and make me give a presentation!?!?
G: What?
N: I know… Despite my presentation being better, why you chose hers… You're still holding a grudge that I didn't mend my relations with you after discovering that you didn't give birth to me… You are the most disgusting woman I have ever met…
You are the disgusting one. That is the most unprofessional outburst I have ever seen. What are these writers trying to do here. NO ONE WOULD EVER SAY STUFF LIKE THIS IN THE OFFICE TO THEIR BOSS! IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE! HOW RIDICULOUS!
Ganga looks shocked as Nakul walks away… Sanjhi looks very upset… Ganga is in tears… Aw, crud.
************************************************************ ***************************************************
Again shot of SN… WE GOT IT! *slap slap*
Daksha: TRIPTI!!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU!???
Tripti comes into the room…
D: Tripti… Look at the state of this room… It's your son's wedding! Gayathri, good thing we called the interior decorator… He will improve the face of this room…
Tr: I wish I could… But we cant waste money… Tulsi maa took all our money from Sahil…
D: Why are you worried? Now is the opportunity to get revenge… With interest! Gayathri, make her understand!
GC: It's your son's wedding! Tulsi cant refuse you… When Gautam got married, Damini came with so much of jewellery…
Tr: Wow… I didn't think about this at all… I was so worried… It is Tulsi's time to worry now… I'll just talk to her and come…
Tripti leaves happily…
************************************************************ ***************************************************
Lakshya has KT cornered at a pillar…
L: So… Tell me… Where do you wanna go for the honeymoon?
KT: Haridwar…!
Hahahahha! Loser!!!! I would say the Caribbean! Sun, sand, sea and Lakshya! So perfect! Sigh… This chick really doesn't deserve the life she has…
L: Haridwar?!!?!? I mean, we can go to Haridwar but for a honeymoon!?!?
Eklavya has been watching all this…. He comes in…
E: Lakshya, KT… I have something important to tell you… I think that daadi is angry with me… but she is taking it out on me…
KT: What are you saying???
E: I know I shouldn't say this but, I think the reason is something else…. Maybe she doesn't want you to get the project…
Sahil is passing by the room, and stops to listen. Ah the Virani blood. It just COMPELS you to stop and listen to conversations you're not in.
E: Maybe she wants Mihir Dadu to get it.
Wait a minute. They know that Mihir is also in the running for this project. And still Lakshya wants to do it? My God, has he sold his soul to the devil? He must have, otherwise there's not a man so hot. He must have given something to get so good looking!
Lakshya shocked. KT shocked.
KT: You are wrong Ekalvya… Baa is not like that… For her, all the family members are the same. She wont show partiality… In fact her children and grandchildren mean more to her than her husband…
E: I just got the feeling… I was just telling you… Anyway, if you want, Lakshya could take this project to heights that no Virani has achieved before… If you get this project, that even Mihir dadu couldn't get for 40 years, then Manthan's mouth will also be shut…
L: I'll try my best… I promise..
E: I expect nothing less from you…
S: What is happening? Why is Eklavya suddenly so nice to Lakshya?
Please Sahil. Please do something to end this track. Please.
************************************************************ ***************************************************
Tripti comes hurtling towards Tulsi…
Tr: Maa… I need to talk to you…
T: Oh… You need to talk to ME today… tell…
Tr: Since Lakshya and KT are getting married now… I just thought I'd tel lyou… It is tradition that a daughter in law brings a lot of gold into the house…. I know… You will give her something.. I just wanted to determine how much….
T: One minute.. If you are talking about DOWRY, then let me tell you that I am very much against it…
Daksha: Arara…. What is wrong if Tripti thinks about it, Tulsi… Afterall it is her son's wedding! GC: Of course! Think about it Tulsi… When Saniya was just getting engaged she brought so much into the house, imagine what she would bring with the wedding?? We are not talk about a lot.. Just something.. Even we brought it into this house…
T: Marriage is not a business… We are not selling Lakshya to the highest bidder!
Tr: You shouldn't be one to talk… I heard when Gautam was married, Damini brought quite a lot into this house…
T: Then you must also know that I didn't ask for it, they sent it on their own accord.. It is still with her, we didn't take a single rupee's worth out of it…
Tr: I'm asking… Because I know, without asking I will not get anything in this house… That is why I am asking, as the groom's mother…
T: Then I will tel lthe groom's mother that the bride will come in the clothes that she will be wearing… And you will accept her in them… Yes, she will wear a few ornaments as sthreedaan… I have given the order for them… But they are not DOWRY.
Tr: I hope whatyou give will be according to SN's traditions…
The TRIMURTI leave. Thank heavens.
T (thinks): Every bride in this house has brought with her only values and morals… But you, you don't even have a single good thought in you…
************************************************************ ***************************************************
Sahil thinking about why Eklavya is so kind and nice to Lakshya all of sudden… And also about how he was saying something against Tulsi…. Tripti comes…
Tr: I knew it.. You stand here, thinking…. You wont do anything…
S: Why? Is there a restriction on thinking too, now? I was thinking, is Eklavya trying to take revenge for something.. I heard him talking to Lakshya… Something didn't seem right… He seems to be too benevolent…
Tr: You know what your problem is Sahil? Nothing good has ever happened to you, so you are scared of something good happening to anyone you know… You don't think too much now…
Tr (thinks): I have arranged the dowry now… I wont let anything come in my way…. The loss that was incurred at the expense of Lakshya and Saniya's wedding will be lightened this way…
Cat who swallowed the canary smile from Tripti, as Sahil still contemplates.
************************************************************ ***************************************************
Tulsi sitting with Baa…
T: I don't know what to say… Mihir still hasn't come… I already gave the payment for the jewellery… How will I do the payment???
Karan comes there, looking quite dapper… Apparently hernia operations agree with him….
K: Ill do it, Maa… KT is like my daughter…. I would be happy to buy the ornaments for her wedding…
Tanya is not pleased.
K: What could be better for this house than a daughter in law like KT…?
A daughter in law like Sanjhi, who seems smarter.
Tulsi and Baa smile…
Ta: Karan? What are you saying? You'll pay for that KT, who ruined your son's life.. Who got him locked in jail???
K: No Tanya… For that KT… Who is my mother's shadow…
Wait. I thought "your mother" had lost you forever and all that jazz. What happened to all that?
Karan leaves…. Sunny and Hitesh come in with a video camera and ask Baa about her views on marriage…
B: It is a bond, that is so important… We always listen to our hearts… We accept that person with all their good qualities and bad when we marry them…
Baa goes on…. I kinda didn't catch the rest of it…
Tanya leaves disgustedly…
************************************************************ ***************************************************
Tanya passes by Tripti in the hall, who is looking through a magazine…
Tr: Tanya! I need your help… I wanna select some jewellery…. But I don't want any like the stuff you have, all taken off by Nandini first… I meant… You have such old designs…. I want some new modern designs…. You'll help naa?
Tanya glares at her and leaves….
Tr (laughing): Arre Tanya, you took me too seriously!!! Tanya!!! Listen naaa! Haha!
Tanya stomps into her room…
Ta: She mocks me!?!? I wont let her! That too about the jewellery that MY HUSBAND IS PAYING FOR!
Tanya picks up her phone and makes a call…
T: Ramdas Jewellers... This is Tanya Virani…. We had placed and order from SN… I am cancelling it… YOU JUST DO WHAT I AM TELLING YOU TO! CANCEL IT! Thank you…
T: Now watch Tripti… Your smile will disappear, just like Tulsi Maa's peace of mind…
************************************************************ ***************************************************
Comments: Yawn. Yawn yawn yawn. Eklavya is getting on my nerves. Lakshya and KT irritate me even more. They even managed to ruin BHOOMI'S CHARACTER today!!!! Nakul's outburst. Hardly believable. The whole thing was a disturbing half hour that I wasted my life on.
Star of the day: Suvarna Jha/Tripti.
Overall Rating: 4/10
