Short Update
Lakshya is all ready to start work at the office… Ekalvya learns this and snidely remarks that maybe now, Lakshya will stay away from his wife… Lakshya coolly replies that if that's what he thinks, so be it…
Karan asks Manthan where he's going in life.. He asks him to consider joining the business, as Lakshya and Eklavya are also now working.. Manthan overreacts a bit, and says that everyone thinks he is useless, but he will show everyone… He says that he is joining office from today too….
Manthan comes down, Lakshya and him have a sort of "cold glare" war, where Lakshya coolly rebukes him… Manthan is hesitant to touch Tanya's feet and that hurts her… Karan remarks on this, but Lakshya coolly says that even Karan is that way, isn't he? Karan remembers doing the same thing to Baa (at the starting of this 6 month leap)
Lakshya is about to leave, when he looks back and sees Mihir and Tulsi smiling at him.. He runs up and takes their blessings…
Daksha and Prajakta find Abhir and Bhoomi in a compromising position… Both are shocked… Bhoomi coolly blackmails Daksha about some property… Prajakta is unwilling but Daksha drags her away….
Daksha is trying to convince Prajakta when Tulsi comes there.. Tulsi seems to know about the Abhir-Bhoomi affair… Daksha says they should just keep quiet, and not hurt everyone's feelings… She leaves… Tulsi thinks that what is happening is wrong, and she will make Daksha herself reveal this secret…
During a business meeting – there is difference of opinion between Karan-Sahil and Lakshya-Eklavya- Manthan… Lakshya again makes a cool comment, which makes Karan think back to what he said to Mihir the other day….
Tulsi gives Mihir the idea of starting their own catering business…
Preparations of a party are in full swing… Tulsi comes down and enquires what is happening… She is informed it is a dinner party…. Lakshya tells Tulsi she should go to her room and remain there as this deal is very important, etc.. Karan Sahil ask Lakshya if this is any way to talk to elders… Lakshya remarks, this is the same way Karan talked to Mihir the other day…. Tulsi agrees that she should go to her room… Lakshya gives Tulsi and KT a secret smile, as Karan looks disturbed….

*In the voice of the "POWERPUFF GIRLS" narrator…. *
THE HOUSE OF SHANTINIKETAN!!!!!!!!!!! Non Bathing Eklavya Virani makes his way downstairs….
Karan hands some file to Lakshya
K: You can do this project…
E: SO.. Lakshya will be doing the new project…. Goood… Very good…
K: Good you came.. I wanted to tell you.. Lakshya has decided to join the business.. We thought he could start with this deal…
E: Good.. Congratulations….. (he leans close to Lakshya)…. At least this way you might stay away from my wife….
Lakshya looks at Eklavya surprised and with a steely look in his eyes… He gives a tight smile….
L: It's all the matter of perspective… If that's the way you think, good for you…
HE SHOOTS! HE SCORES!!!!!!!!! WOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!
E (sour smile): I am very happy for you… All the best…
He bumps into Lakshya "accidently"….. What a infantile loser….
Hot, Hot. HOT Manthan saunters across this scene, sipping on his lil water bottle… Ohh… All hot and sweatyyy… SO HAWT!!!!!!
K: And where are YOU coming from?
M: The gym, where else??
K: Do you think of anything other than the gym??
Uhhh yea, he does…. He thinks about snorting banned substances into his lil brain…. Idiot…
K: Have you ever thought about your life, your career??? Look at Eklavya and Lakshya….
Manthan looks witheringly at Lakshya… Lakshya sweetly smiles back…. Hee hee…
M: And what do you mean by that?
Sahil: We have a new project, if you want to work…
M: You're trying to say if Lakshya can work, why not me, right???
Tanya: Manthan, what is bad in that??? Dad is just saying for your own good….
K: That is, if you get any time from your busy schedule…
M: Oh.. So this a challenge… All of you are trying to say that everyone is working and im just a useless, wastrel of a son…
Ta: No Manthan, we didn't mean it like that…. We are not forcing you … We're just saying, you should think about it, it will be good for you…
Lakshya: Actually, it's a good opportunity to prove yourself….
M: Oye, "chooze"… No one asked you to talk here.. Keep your mouth shut….
L: Arre… Why are you getting angry, I was just joking!
M: I know you weren't joking…. You think you're very smart… Just coz you have started going to office, you think you know business? It's all in the blood… And have you seen the difference between your father and mine??
K: MANTHAN! You are overreacting…
M: No.. I have decided.. I will join the business from today….
K: There's no need to be hasty.. I just want you to think about it….
M: I have thought as much as I needed…. I will show you how to do business… Wait for me, I am coming with you….
Karan looks like "OH GODDAMNIT! I SHOULDN'T HAVE PROVOKED HIM! NOW HE'S GOING TO RUIN THIS BUSINESS AND BRING US ONTO THE ROAD!" Tanya looks very happy…
Some time later…. MANTHAN COMES DOWN IN A SUIT!!!! OMG YUMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! THANK YOU SANTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
M: Come dad…. Let's go to work…
Ta: Wait…!
Seeing Tanya go all motherly, Tripti decides to exhibit her maternal instincts too …
Tr: Come here Lakshya beta…
Lakshya goes to her…. Major Dahi/shakkar feeding ensues….
L: Mom… I don't need all this….
Tr: Whenever someone starts a new task, this is meant to be auspicious….
L: Let it be, mom.. I'm not well anyway… And if it's all about luck, feed Manthan… He needs it more….
HAHAHA! 🤣
Scoreboard reads: Lakshya: 2, Manthan: 0
M: Ayyye, don't act too smart…!
K: Manthan…. This is the first time you are coming to office… Touch your mother's feet….
M: WHAT????
Tanya gives Manthan some dahi… Manthan makes a face like he wants to spit it out, and almost does…. He barely bends down, and looks sideways… Lakshya is grinning at his obvious discomfort…. Manthan glares, and Lakshya makes a "CHALL HATTTT!!!" kinda face by biting his lip…. Hahaha, hilarious stuff this….! 🤣
Manthan quickly stands up, without touching Tanya's feet… Tanya looks disappointed…. Manthan glares at Lakshya…. He walks past him, and as he is within hearing rage,
M: I'll show ya…
Lakshya smiles complacently… All the men of the house… Umm, whatever…. Start to leave.. Sahil, Manthan, Eklavya leave…. Lakshya and Karan are left….
Karan shakes his head sadly…
K: Children today…. They have no time to get their elder's blessings also….
L: Chachu, time is precious these days… And you yourself don't have time to do all this these days either….
Karan remembers the time he didn't touch Baa's feet properly at the start of this 6 month leap…. He looks kinda shocked…
K: Come Lakshya..
Lakshya smiles and leaves…
Tr: Byeee! Good luck!
Thought: Tripti isn't mad at Lakshya for holding her down and shoving a wad of cloth into her mouth yesterday??? How come? 😕
Karan leaves still thoughtful….
Lakshya is almost outta the door…. He turs one last time to see Mihir and Tulsi standing upstairs, beaming at him….. He smiles and runs up the stairs at a speed rivalling Tripti's yesterday…. Now, that's FASTTTT...
He reaches Mihir-Tulsi and touches Mihir's feet…. Mihir hugs him happily… Lakshya smiles and touches Tulsi's feet too….
M: All the best..
Lakshya leaves happy… Mihir and Tulsi stare after him, happily….
M: Why do I get the feeling that you had a hand in this????
T: You're right, I do…. But this is just a start!
Awwwwwwww…. All over cute scene…. Lakshya/Manthan rivalry…. Karan realising a few things…. Mihir Tulsi mushyness… All so awwwwwww…. As "awwwwwwww" as a toothless lil baby! 😳 😆
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*^*^*
Daksha is listening intently at a door, startled when someone taps her from behind…. She jumps…. It's Prajakta…
Pr: What are you doing?? What are you doing, listening to Bhoomi in her room?? You are so old, grow up now!
Prajakta and Daksha get into a shoving match, Daksha falls backwards into Bhoomi's room, followed by Prajakta…. Prajakta and Daksha stare in shock….
Yes my friends, Abhir and Bhoomi are in there…. In a pretty compromising position, arms all around each other and all…. 🤢
Pr: What is all this?!?!!?
D: Prajakta.. Come from here..!!!!!!
Pr: NO! WHY SHOULD WE GO!!!!
B: There's no need to talk too much over here… Nothing has happened here….
Pr: BUT ABHIR IS MARRIED TO ARCHITA!
D: Prajakta is right…. I don't get what is happening between you and Abhir…
B: Do one thing… I will make you understand…. You want the property in Junaagarh don't you?
D: YES!
B: And the bungalow also…?
D: Yes….
B: You don't need to talk to dad about it… I can talk to him about it…. You have two options…
You can keep your mouth shut, and get all that you want.. Or you can blabber and youre "dream house" will remain a dream…. Which one do you choose?
D: I didn't see anything… Prajakta, yiou didn't see anything either!
B: You're very smart.. Go one thing… Make your bahu understand too…
Pr: I wont be quiet!!!!!!
D: Shut up Prajakta…!!! Bhoomi she didn't see anything…!!!
Daksha drags Prajakta out…
Abhir's shirt is all open and frankly, EWWW. And he seems to have caught Eklavya's "Non-cleanliness is totall manliness" disease and hasn't shaved or anything for like a few months…. Gross…. 🤢
Abhir: Bhoomi… What if these two tell…?
B: Chill… No one will say anything… I know Daksha dadi well…. Trust me….
They share on "passionate" hug… 🤢🤢🤢
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Outside:
Pr: Why did you do that?!!?!?!?!
D: You have such a small head… Now how do I explain to you…
She tries to explain when Tulsi comes there…. Prajakta and Daksha look scared…
T: What are you trying to explain to Prajakta??
D: I…
T: About Bhoomi and Abhir???
Pr: YES YES!!!!!
D: You know??
T: I know a lil bit… Don't you think what is happenning, is wrong??
D: I know but..
T: But what.. When something wrong is happening in our house, isn't it our job to set it right??? We could at least tell Karan and Tanya!
Pr: YEA!!!!!!
T: Then come!!!
Daksha is worried…. She hears Bhoomi's voice in her head….
D: Stop….
T: Yes?
D: Look… I know you are very sensible… Times have changed now! I know they think wrong, but if we tell everyone, think what a mess it would create… Archita would be heartbroken… Mohini would be unnecessarily tense…. Now tell me, am I wrong?
T: Yes, you are right..
Prajakta looks disappointed….
T: But what do we do???
D: Look, let's just stay quiet about this one thing….
T: Fine chachi.. Whatever you deem fit….
D: I know you are sensible… My bahu is the stupid one here…. COME PRAJAKTA!!!!!!!
And with that, Daksha drags a wailing Prajakta away…
T: Abhir and Bhoomi are wrong.. And hiding the truth about them, you are making a bigger mistake…. But now, I will make you out the secret….
Hmmm… How will that work now? And concentrate on one plan at a time, woman….
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*^*^*
In the boardroom:
Sahil: Just to transfer the papers, you want 50 lakhs???
Man 1: Yes, you just need to give us 50….
Karan: But we…
Eklavya appears….
E: We are ready to give you that much….
Karan and Sahil look up confused….. Lakshya comes and stands on one side of Eklavya, Manthan on the other… Oye hoye…. The threee gabroo jawaans of the house.. Two are hot… One was kinda hot, way back in the days when he used to actually bathe…. 😕
K: But Eklavya…
The three musketeers sit down….
E: Why not.. Tell me.. What is wrong? If someone does some work for us, they'll look at their own benefit in it, wont they? There's nothing wrong…. (to the men) We will send you the money to your office…
Man 2: You should learn how to do business from your children, Mr Karan Virani!!!!
Karan looks kinda startled…. Man starts to give the papers to Karan, when Lakshya reaches over and takes them…. Karan and Sahil look shocked…. Lakshya smiles sweetly…
SCOREEEEEEEE!
Manthan also smiles slightly…. Karan still sitting there with his hand outstretched in shock..
Umm dude… The moment has passed…. Put the hand down….
K: What just happened was not good…
Sa: We have never given money for such a thing….
Manthan: Dad, this deal will bring us only profits… Chilll
S: We know… But still, you could have asked us…
L: Why?? Dad… Times have changed… Don't think of it as a bribe, think of it as an investment….
Manthan smiles and nods….
L: We do business in a different way, you do it in a different way.. Now if you cant catch up with the times, I think you should retire…
Karan and Sahil look shocked…. Karan remembers the time he said the same thing to Mihir….
Lakshya-Manthan-Eklavya get up and leave happily…. Karan is still disturbed….
Score: Lakshya: 4, Evil people: 0 👏
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*^*^*
Mihir is sitting and looking at his passbook… Tulsi comes and sits by him…
T: By looking at your passbook again and again, the money will not increase…
M: I know… What to do.. I am scared of what will come of us… One thing is for sure, we cannot depend on our children…
T: Why should we depend on them.. Like we made our own lives from the beginning, we will continue to do so….
M: What do you mean?
T: Why don't we start a business?
M: Business? Us?? Haha…!!
T: Don't listen to me… Just must fun of me.. Hmph…
M: But.. Listen.. Ok… Im sorry…. Arre, I said I was sorry.. Tell me more…
T: You'll listen? You wont laugh? We can start a catering business..
M: We cant just start it like that.. We need investors, we need money… Which we don't have….
T: We can try… If we're together, we can get anything… Anything!
M: Yes, we can try… But tell me… At this age, where do you get all this courage from…?
T: From you…
They look at each other all mushy wushy…. Awwww…. So sweet…. Ronit – Gautami have a nice sweet chemistry…. I likey! 😳

Downstairs, the same old party music from all Balaji parties… Dhinchak dhinchak dhinchak!!!!!!!
Karan: Lakshya, is everything done???
L: Yes Chachu…. Everything has been arranged…. No need to worry…
Tulsi comes down…
T: What are you all preparing for? Some function in the house???
K: Just a dinner..
Sahil: We just called home our business associates..
T: Can I help???
Tanya: Let it be… Anyway, you don't know anything about a business dinner….
L: I think you can be with Mihir Dadu in your room.. That is best.. A lot of people are coming… This deal is important to us…. You understand, don't you???
K: LAKSHYA!?!! IS THIS THE WAY YOU TALK TO ELDERS?
L: But… You told Mihir dadu the same thing that day.. I thought this is how we should talk to them… Did I say something wrong?
Sahil: Lakshya… You talk too much these days….
T: No!! He's right… We old people should remain in our rooms… I'm going… I will pray to God that you get your deal….
Lakshya smiles…. Tulsi throws him a quick glance and smile…. Tulsi leaves….
KT is standing in some corner like a Maitre D or something…. Geeesh…. Karan still in shock and sadness and all that….
Lakshya and KT looks at each other and grin…. Camera freezes on Lakshya's smug smile….
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*^*^*
Comments: Another great episode! Things seem to be shaping up well! And so fast! Wheee!!! And Manthan in a suit?!!?!?!? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WATCH THE SHOW JUST FOR THAT, IF NOTHING ELSE!
Oh, the Mihir- Tulsi cuteness is also veryy sweet to watch…. Ronit and Gautami share a very nice, comfortable vibe… I likey! 😳
Star of the day: Pulkit Samrat again! Semi evil Lakshya which his grins and subtle digs at Karan is a treat to watch!!!!!!! Watch for the scene where he makes the "chall hatt" face at an enraged Manthan….
Oh… And score at the end of the day? Lakshya: 5, Evil people: 0 👏
Overall Rating: 9/10
