The episode starts with Gaon-ki-gori vidya practicing what i assume are certain dance moves. To give you the correct picture (for the sake of authenticity) let me take you back to your childhood. Do you all remember the dreaded Sports Day? And I am addressing all those 'normal' people who didn't take part in useless, sweaty endeavours like relays and races. The day when everyone dressed up and did group drills with their class. Remember the awkward aerobics, the random flinging up of an arm here, kicking of a foot there. Remember ? Well, Vidya's dance moves were somewhat on those lines.
So...... vidya is exercising ..... errrr......... dancing ......... and Uttara Mausi and Imli walk in. (Everytime Imli walks into the screen, a horrifying chill runs up my spine as i prepare myself for more 'billi' gyan)
Uttara is amused by Vidya's antics and praises her dance. Gaurav, who is Vidya's eternal platonic friend and sadly despite all of Imli's 'billi' classes refuses to become her pati-parmeshwar, also chips in, supporting vidya's 'talent'.
Imli slides over to vidya and tells her to save her energy for the 'night's masti' ..... i gasp and dive beneath my razai and curse Fivr for assigning me yet another 'billi' episode .... but thankfully, imli is referring to the 'Mehndi Night'
Vidya and her mera-pati-sirf-mera-nahin-hai have a cute moment. She thanks him for his show of faith in her and he again stresses what are friends for....... eeessshhhhhhhh ........
Scene 2 (and i just realised, i need to be more brief ... i spent 4 paragraphs explaining a 2 minute scene ..... but in my defense i am having way too much fun! ... So tolerate .... please)
So......
Aditya (looking hot, tense, hot, worried, hot ......... you get the idea) and his favourite sidekick Jaggi are having a heart-to-heart. Ram Lakhan jodi, i tell you. Jaggi asks aditya why is he so tense, he has got the girl.
Aditya tells him 'i might have got the girl but i don't think she is seriously impressed with my hotness' .......... kidding ....... He throws a googly at jaggi and says something deep like 'chorri ko toh paa liya hai, par woh puri tarah se mari na ho payyi'
*rolls eyes at corny dialogues which even sexy haryanvi accent can't save*
A man walks in with half a dozen tacky standard roadside phool-waale-bhaiyya type bouquets and about two dozens gifts gaudily wrapped up.
(Side note: Priya has awful taste, ............... except in men)
Included is a love note (in Red) from Priya to aditya "Pyaar mein neend nahin aati, koi humse bhi pyaar karle kyunki humein bahoot neend aati hai"
Jaggiji whose love notes experience is limited to punches from Imliji is maha impressed ... "wah" "wah" ..... Aditya glares angrily at him - his first love letter and jaggiji is spoiling the mood.
Priya Calls and Scene of the Day .................
Our hot chorra is fed up of his hotness being overlooked and that too by someone with questionable taste.
Priya wants to meet Aditya.
Not Interested
Priya wants to talk - dher saari batein karenge
Not interested
Priya wants to go out for coffee
Not interested
Our chorra is tired of playing the joker and gives it back to his chorri ..... "ek waqt tha jab main tumhare kareeb aana chahta tha ........ tu ne toh mujhe kabhi i love you kaha hi nahin ...... mareh pyaar ko vaasna (lust for the linguistically challenged) ka naam de diya" ...... and bangs down the phone .............. *gasp* *shock* *horror*
For those of you who have not understood the importance of the scene, lets recap - Our dheet chorra, who shamelessly followed the girl across three cities, who doesn't seem to understand rejection, who got beaten up and abused by everyone and their father, who turned his entire charm on trying to convince his family for the rishta, banged down the phone saying 'he wanted more time'
Woo! Hoo! You go Aditya !!! ..... choora khub bhao kha raha hai !
Priya decides to patao Aditya by thinking LIKE Aditya .... *head-desk* ...... this cannot end well
...... and recruits her brother in her scheme ...... so obviously i can safely toss out all the X-rated ideas that came to my mind, that I would have used to patao Aditya, had i been in her place ..... *whistles! just saying ....... x-rated works ..... all the time*
All the women are at Priya's place and all the men are at aditya's place. Cheenu gets Aditya's ram and Aditya's lakhan into the scheme.
The part starts at priya's place .... and devyani walks down a sprawling staircase surveying the party like a don from an 80's film 'wah! kya intezaam kiya hai, mogambo khush hua' ...... Uttara is disgruntled that devyaani banned male strippers ..... err.... that is, entertainers and non clothing specialists. .... So am I.
The party is declared open in band-baaja style by the rollie-pollie wedding planner who i want to hug because she looks so cute and soft like a giant fluffy pillow. Uttara mausi though wants to hug sleek, hard, dolle-sholle and is annoyed with devyaani for ban on 'specialists' ...... but Priya informs them that she has invited an item boy ...... devyaani is shocked to her toes with this roop of her sanskaarri bahu whereas uttara looks as if christmas has come early ....... Uttara is maha impressed with this new bahu who is ions of improvement over the badi bahu who has not even managed to maaro her own billi yet.
Meanwhile, Aditya is blindfolded with his hands tied and trussed up like a goose, is taken to the party by gaurav, jaggi and cheenu ...... For once, Aditya is irritated and not 'in the mood' .... but no one wants to listen to him and all his dhamkis fall on deaf ears.
Tacky Scene of the day
The lights go out at the party with a smoky blue spotlight in the centre where Aditya is deposited courtesy the three stooges. All the women are waiting to see who the stripper is. But when aditya removes the blindfold, devyaani looks relieved .... Thank god! its one of her own. Uttara looks disappointed - she has already seen this one in his nappies.
Priya comes downstairs talking on a mike. She says that aditya gave her a new life, unconditional love and never asked for anything in return. But she has hurt him. And she wants to tell him that she wants to spend her whole life with him. I love you Aditya.
Aditya cannot believe his ears. Everyone at the party is all smiles at this sweet display of love and the hopeless romantic that i am, i am smiling staring at the youtube video on my computer screen .....
so why tacky ? ........ because it doesn't end there ......... Priya decides that a special performance 'just for you' is what will get Aditya back to his lover boy self
Remember the katrina number - zaraa zaraa touch me touch me, kiss me kiss me, hold me hold me ....
Priya 'performs' on this very suggestive song, all demurely dressed up though in front of her in-laws, brother, brother in law and 100 odd random strangers.
There is whole lot of 'touching', not any 'kissing' and plenty of 'holding'
.... had she given adi a private show, i would be like 'you go girl' but in front of your future in-laws ? .................... dicey ............ what do you guys think tacky or sweet ? Though lots of dancing and thankfully the steps were not saroj khan style cheap or double meaning and Ridhdhi can dance pretty decently .
Quick reactions:
Vidya was blushing, bumbling and embarrassed (in a good way)
Sweety was all smiles
Uttara got super excited at seeing this dhaansu bahu and kept hugging my pillow
devyaani was so happy that you would think that priya was singing it for her
And vidya's strange dadi/nani wanted to join aditya in all the touching and holding
End of Episode.
Precap : Priya hugs my aditya and says she will never hurt him again ... hrumphhhh ..... don't fall for her adi, she is crafty one ..... i am the guaranteed one, pick me ...... no ?
P.S: Still unsolved .... Mystery of the two dozen gift boxes that priya sent to aditya ...... what the hell did she send him that required so many boxes ....... and is she not kind of like poor to actually afford to spend on 30 odd gifts ?
