- In SN, women are preparing various dishes.
- Tripti on purpose drops something on Tulsi's dress. Tulsi goes to change. TTD secretly watch her to check if she has a birth mark on her shoulder. They do not find any. Damini is fully convinced that it is Tulsi. But Tripti and Tanya still suspect that it is Juhi.
- Nakul is singing a song remembering Sanjhi. Lakhs teases him. DC and Mohini give him tricks to attract a girl.
- It is rakhi. Shobha comes. Everybody welcomes her.
- Billi comes to SN. Archita tells him to tell everything to Abir. Billi agrees. Archita thinks that she will tie rakhi on Billi.
- Bhumi is alone in a room. Tanya tries to talk to her but Bhumi shouts at Tanya and says that Tanya is not her Mom. Tanya slaps Bhumi.
Women in SN are cooking; they are waiting for some special guest from Gujarat.
Daksha chachi is not able to make phephla.
DC-Why am I not able to make phephla? Its face should be like Madhubala. Why is it like Mallika Sherawat?😆
Tulsi comes there.
Tulsi-Daksha chachi, you taught me how to make phephla and you yourself forgot.
DC-I am doing time pass with phephla. There is not enough til oil. That is why I am not able to make.
Tulsi gives her a container full of til oil.
Tripti comes and suddenly hits Tulsi. Tripti is containing something in a bowl, which falls on Tulsi's dress. Tripti pretends as if it is by mistake and asks Tulsi to go and change the dress.
Tripti(to Damini)-Did you see?
DC-Why are you making eyes like Lalita Pawar? What is going on here?
Tripti-There is nothing like that. We had a bet that I will put a daag(spot) on Tulsi Ma's saree.
Tripti and Damini leave.
DC(to herself)-Not daag(spot) but I think it is about aag(fire). Let me see where is smoke.
DC is about to go but KT asks her to help her prepare food and DC goes to KT.
TTD are in a room
Tripti-Tanya, I have dropped something on her dress. She has gone to change. Mark on shoulder will tell about real or fake face.
Tulsi is changing dress. TTD are outside the door and secretly watching her. They do not see any mark. Damini asks Tripti to accept that it is Tulsi Ma. Those three leave and go to another room.
Damini-Now do you two accept that this is Tulsi Ma?
Tripti-One birth mark proves nothing. 😡
Tanya-That is true. If a woman can change her whole face by surgery, why can't she get rid of a birth mark?
Damini-First you said that there was no surgery and that this is Juhi. Now you are contradicting your own words to prove your own words.
Tripti-It is possible that
Damini (interrupts) - You two are out of your mind. If Thakur ji himself swears by Gita and says that this is Tulsi, then also you two will not believe because you don't want to believe. (Very true)But do whatever you like, you cannot make Tulsi as Juhi. I think that Ravan's Dussehra is very close.(I think she is talking about Jass Thakral.)
Nakul singing song
Nakul is watching TV in which the song "tujhe dekha to ye jana sanam" is being played. He is also singing that song.
Laksh comes there and switches off the TV.Nakul continues to sing.
Lakha-What happened Nakul bhaiya? Is everything all right? Shall I call doctor?
Nakul-Doctor? Why? Everything is all right.
Laksh-It is just that I heard somebody's scream.
Nakul-Idiot, I was singing a song. May be for Sanjhi.
Laksh-If this is how you express love, then let me explain to you how to express love.(Hmmm, so younger brother will teach elder brother how to propose.😍😆)
Mohini calls Nakul.
Mohini(in her characteristic style)-What is this I am hearing? That you got some prem rog?
Laksh-And chachi, today bhaiya is planning to propose to her.
Mohini-Oh, so you have grown so much? Let me tell you a trick. If girl's dupatta slides down, then lovingly pick up the dupatta and put it on her. If she shies and laughs, then understand that she is in love.
DC comes there.
DC-What is this bundle trick? I am going to give you a permanent trick. Your Himmat dada applied that trick on me and I am still entangled with him. When the girl is walking, then her handkerchief will slide. Pick it up and
Nakul-give it to her.
DC-No, keep it with yourself.After 2 or 3 days give it to her and say this is the same handkerchief with which day and night
Mohini-I wiped my nose. She(about DC) and her 1940's trick. Both are old models.
DC-And your trick or dupatta falling? Do girls wear dupatta now a days? They wear jeans like Mallika Sherawat. If she is wearing jeans, will jeans slide?😆
Mohini-If she does not have handkerchief, then will Nakul be unmarried whole life?
DC and Mohini argue a lot. Nakul and Laksh are enjoying this. KT comes there.
KT-I have a very easy way out. Go and propose to Sanjhi straight away.
Nakul-I also think the same.
Women in SN are looking at some sarees, which have come from Ahmedabad(in Gujarat).
DC is looking at a saree. Mohini tries to take that saree.
DC-Don't touch it. I saw it first.
Mohini-Yes, you take it. Such sarees suit only women of your age, Daksha dadi.
DC-She won't improve. Age of 55 and heart of a child.
Baa-Tulsi, after so many years you are buying new saree. Mihir must have told.
Tulsi-Baa, I am buying for those sisters whose brothers are so busy that they do not have time to buy gifts for their sisters.
Tulsi asks Karan to select a saree for Shobha.
Manthan enters. Tulsi asks Manthan to select a good colored saree for Bhumi.
Manthan-Bhumi and saree? In so much of money, she will buy nice dresses for herself. I am very sorry but no saree.(He tries to make rhyming between sorry and saree.)
Archita enters. Mohini asks Archita to select a saree.
Mohini-You don't have to buy. You will get many sarees. There are so many brothers in this house.
Archita is looking very sad.
Tulsi calls Archita and talks to her secretly.
Tulsi-The path that I have chosen for you is very difficult but don't tell anything to your mother. Otherwise, she will be worried.
Archita-OK.
Billi comes there.
Billi(to Mihir)-I know that after what my dad did, it is not appropriate for me to come here.
I want to say that whatever you did to him is quite right. I am always with you.
Mihir-Thank you. We have no ill feelings for you.
Billi goes to freshen up.
Mihir-Such a nice guy. Such a big difference between father and son!
Archita(is thinking) - You are right dadi. There are only thorns on the way I am moving. But I have learnt to pick those thorns.
She goes from there.
Mihir-Red one is good. Take it.
Tulsi-This color in this age?
Mihir-There is no age for color of love.
They look into each other's eyes lovingly. Their sweet moments are shown through flashback. The song "tere naam" plays.😍
Archita meets Billi in washroom.
Archita-I thought you are my friend.
Billi-I am. I know that you are hurt because of what I did that day.
Archita-It is my fault that I gave you the right to hurt me. I trusted you. I considered you my best friend and selected you to solve my problem. But you made my problem even bigger. You cheated me. Mr. Billi Thakral, our friendship is broken. Why have you come here? Just go.
Billi-Enough. Have you finished speaking? I am your closest friend. When your husband hits you, then I feel hurt. What have we gained by this game? He still hates you. There is no love seen in her eyes. That is why I did not finish this drama. But if you want, I will tell him. After all, you are my best friend. I can do anything for you.
Archita-Ok, tell Abir everything.
Billi-OK.
Archita(thinks)-In front of Abir, I will tie rakhi on you.😆 I staretd this game and I will finish it.
In kitchen
DC is packing dhokla in a box to be sent to her brother who lives in Junagarh.
Tulsi is happy to see everybody together.
DC, Tulsi and Damini admire rakhi festival.
KT-I am so happy that God has given an orphan like me a ba like you and such a big family. But there is no wrist, which can make me a sister.That girl is very unlucky who has no brother.
People in SN play garba. Shobha comes there. She brings imli for Baa.
Everybody welcomes Shobha.
DC hugs Shobha and says-I will not let this house become a silent movie.
Shobha sees TTD.
Shobha-My three sister in laws. How good they look together.
She goes to meet them.
DC-These are not bhabhiyans(sisters in law); they are Yamraj's chabhiyans(keys). If they are here, then Yamraj is not needed.
Shobha's brothers(Karan et al) come there and meet her.
Bhumi is alone in a room looking at something.
Tanya-Why have you still not kept thali for rakhi ready? Manthan is waiting for you. What are you looking at? Let me see.
Bhumi-Don't you dare touch it. You used me and kept me away from my Mom. Not any more.
Tanya-Your mother, Bhumi? Your Mom is in front of you.
Bhumi-Stop this nonsense. I know the truth. You told lies and became my Mom. Your true face is known to me now. You are not my Mom.
Tanya slaps Bhumi. Tanya regrets; she is very sad. Bhumi is angry.
__________________________________________
Overall I found the episode boring. The theme of rakha bandhan is good. But the way scenes were shifting from one location to another, it seemed as if the episode was a drag. This theme could have been presented much better.
What I liked best-In the last few episodes, Mohini was quiet. Today she had lots of dialogs and she spoke in her characteristic style.
I also liked that Bhumi now cares for and misses Nandini. This good. But I feel that, even though Tanya has been very evil in various ways, she has always loved Bhumi a lot. It is rare to find a woman who loves somebody else's child so much.
Blame wrong deeds and appreciate good deeds.
Most significant scene-Talk between Bhumi and Tanya. I am considering it most significant scene because out of everything shown in today's episode, this is the one that will affect future episodes.
Best acting-Mohini. Others did not have enough good roles today.
Best dialogs-As usual of DC.
Rating-5/10
