Context: In the OG, Mullai pawns her ring to buy Kathir a present as she wanted to buy Kathir a present with her own money. Dhanam (Dhara) misunderstands and this leads the entire family to chastise her for pawning off the ring without telling anyone. Eventually Kathir clarifies what took place.
Assuming the makers decide to show the same scene in the OG, this could be a great follow up scene that follow's Piu's idea of having Raavi work!
Thanks Piu for the idea. I had a ton of fun typing all this up. Forgive me for not making it a beauty parlor 😆 I know next to nothing about beauty, but I do know some stuff about earrings.
—Making Money from a Hobby
Shiva realizes the gravity of Raavi not having any money to herself, something he'd never considered before. He tries to come up with ways where she could earn money. Whether it is requesting Gaumbi to pay Raavi a small salary or letting her control their finances instead of Dhara. He broaches the topic, and she refuses as she really loves the Pandya family and doesn't carry about money. Though their conversation ends, he continues to think about it, wanting her to be independent just so she could buy what she wanted without having to ask him or Dhara for money.
After coming back from a late day at work, he notices Raavi tinkering around with a few materials. When he asks her what she is doing, she tells him she is making DIY earrings as it is a childhood hobby of hers. She tells him how her hobby began and even shows him a few designs she sketched out. Making earrings was a special passion of hers since she couldn't buy the earrings she wanted when she was a child. Shiva becomes emotional thinking back to her childhood as she would always make it an effort to show off her beauty. He didn't understand her then, but now, after seeing her earrings, he realizes she just wanted to show off her DIY projects. After she goes to sleep, he slowly looks at all the earrings she's made since coming to the Pandya house, and he immediately gets an idea.
The following day, Shiva brings Raavi and the box to the store and asks her whether she would be interested in selling her earrings. She looks at the earrings and is unsure, believing no one would buy it, but Shiva tells her otherwise. As she sits and manages the money, Shiva promotes Raavi's earrings to every person that walks by. He manages to win a few sales, and afterwards, he tells Raavi that the money is for her to keep. Again, she is uncomfortable keeping the money, wanting instead to give it to Dhara to manage. Seeing this, Shiva puts the money into her hands and demands a 5% commission since he worked so hard for the sales to happen. He also tells her she won't be able to pay him if she gives all her money to Dhara, so Raavi shyly agrees to keep the money herself. She gives him an additional 5% commission telling him he deserves a tip for all his hard work, and they share a smile.
— Making it Official
Shiva wants Raavi to learn how to do business, so he speaks to Gaumbi about drafting a contract. Raavi would need to pay commission to Pandya Store as she uses the space to sell her earrings. Gaumbi tells Shiva none of that is necessary; however, Shiva tells him he really wants Raavi to learn in the same way he did when he first started working at Pandya Store. Seeing this, Gaumbi agrees and prepares a contract that Raavi could sign.
Raavi stares at the contract, slightly frightened. She never thought her earrings were special, so this all scares her. She turns to Shiva, and Shiva gently tells her to read over the contract. Nodding her head, she reads over everything and agrees. Just as she is about to sign it, Shiva stops her and asks her if it really is okay. She is confused, and Shiva points out the line where she would need to pay Pandya Store a 30% commission, and asked her if that was alright with her. She nods her head, but Shiva tells her she should negotiate. Gaumbi looks over at both of them, amused and happy.
Understanding where he was coming from, Raavi negotiates with Gaumbi (who is tough at Shiva's request), and they finally settle on a 15% commission. She finally signs the contract and shakes hands with Gaumbi, making it official. As Shiva and Raavi walk back home, Raavi is immensely happy as this is the first business contract she ever took part in, and Shiva tells her that she needs to prepare better in the future as she will be spending a lot more time signing contracts.
— Turning the Hobby into a Business
A few weeks pass by and Raavi is making a decent amount of sales. She's unable to keep up with the orders, but this motivates her to make more earrings as she sees the happiness in everyone's faces when they wear them. Shiva suggests she turn her hobby into an official business— hiring people to work for her and help her with her designs. She doesn't know if she can manage a business all by herself, but Shiva promises to be by her side as long as she continues to give him the 10% commission. She smiles and suddenly feels happy as this is the first major decision Shiva and her are taking.
Each night, before they go to sleep, they discuss about what they should do. If they should buy an empty space and set it up as a workshop, how they should hire workers, how many workers they need to hire, whether they should promote the business online. It takes them a few weeks, but they eventually have a plan (all within this duration, ShiVi could have scenes where they visit office spaces, advertisement companies, etc.). Eventually, Raavi is set to open up her new jewelry shop.
Shiva tells her that he can take care of naming the business as well as preparing the opening party. Raavi agrees and becomes excited as Shiva is surprising her. She tries to snoop and find out what he's planning, but he is very secretive. Eventually, opening day comes and Raavi realizes Shiva's named the shop, 'Raashi Jewelers' the 'Raa' coming from Raavi and the 'Shi' coming from Shiva. When she sees all her designs on the shelves, she becomes very emotional and finally understands why Shiva worked so hard in turning her hobby into a reality.
