Pavitra Rishta Written Update 23rd December 2013

Archana and Teju are looking at a photo album.

Teju tells Archu that ArMaan wedding photo is very nice. Then she turns to a photo with ArMaan and Ovi-Teju and says, Remember, this is the day we brought you home?

Archana looks sad, Teju asks her whats the matter, Archu tells her she is missing Ovi a lot! She doesn't know where Ovi is, how she is...Teju says she can understand, it's been a 20 years distance, it cannot be covered in 20 minutes! They were all trying to find Ovi so she was sure one day they will find Ovi.

Teju advises Archu to ask Purvi if she knows where Ovi is as shes in Mumbai and she might know. Or she can ask Arjun, perhaps he would know?

Archu says she will talk to Purvi.

Panchgani Bungalow:

Purvi, Arjun and Ovi enter the bungalow and stand in the hall. A servant comes and says hes sorry he forgot the keys so he is going to get the keys to their rooms.

Purvi, Arjun and Ovi are giving each other uncomfortable glances, when Purvi's phone rings. Its Archana calling from Canada. She asks Purvi how she is, Purvi says, Im good, Ayi, how are you?

Archu asks how is Arjun? Purvi looks at Arjun and says Arjun is fine! His 2 month project has started so hes busy nowadays!

Archu says she wanted to ask her abt Ovi. Purvi asks, About Ovi?

Ovi hears this and looks at Purvi. Archu reminds Purvi that she had asked her to find out abt Ovi's whereabouts. She requests Purvi to search for Ovi as she wants Ovi to return home. If she cannot find Ovi then she can ask Arjun if he knows? She thinks Arjun might know something...

Archu says she wants to rectify her mistakes. She misunderstood Ovi, she made a mistake, but Purvi find out abt Ovi, maybe by talking to Arjun.

Purvi says, Yes Ayi, don't worry, Ovi will be found! You have full faith in Bappa naa, so wherever she is, she must be happy! Purvi looks at Ovi while shes saying that, Ovi looks away, feeling sad and guilty.

Purvi says she will talk later and says bye to Archu and hangs up.

Servant returns with keys and takes Arjun and Ovi to one room, opens it up, puts their luggage inside, Arjun tips him.

Purvi says, This room is for the two of you and that other room is mine.

Arjun looks angry and says, Purvi when u knew from before that this bungalow has only 2 rooms then why did u agree to stay here? And why didn't u tell me or ask me abt this?

Purvi tells him, Arjun, why are u getting upset? We are not living here for our whole lives! We just have to crack a deal and then return to Mumbai. And in fact you both shd be happy! You are getting privacy and getting to enjoy a holiday alongwith work. And supposedly u have been living together for last 20 years, but Im sure you wouldn't have had such a great holiday before!

Arjun is looking tensed, but Ovi tells him, I need to rest as Im very tired so shall we go into the room?

Ovi glances at Purvi and goes into the room. Purvi looks at Arjun thoughtfully, he looks at her and then goes in too.

Arjun and Ovi standing inside the room, look at Purvi watching them suspiciously, then Arjun closes the door.

Purvi walks sadly to the staircase and sits down and cries.

Naren's house

Sunanda Atya is lecturing the servants that every chore shd be done according to schedule. She will not tolerate any kind of mistake! The guests shd get welcome drinks as soon as they arrive. After that dry snacks, then cakes and pastries. Did they understand her instructions?

Rushali comes down the stairs and joins Sunanda, who asks her where has she been? Why doesn't she control the servants? Otherwise they will do whatever they want!

Rushali calmly says, Now ur here, Tayi, so all these things will be fixed anyway.

Sunanda says, Yes I know that but Im afraid that after I leave things will stop again right there!

She orders the servants to go and start their work. They leave. Sunanda chides Rushali, Really sometimes I wonder what you do as soon as my back is turned!

Three people enter the house, a girl and her parents. Sunanda stops lecturing Rushali and welcomes them with smiles, Mr. Nadkarni! Please come in!

They greet each other, Sunanda tells them she was waiting for them. The girl looks around with a glum face, Rushali looks worried. Mr. Nadkarni introduces his daughter Kinnari.

Sunanda greets Kinnari and tells her she had seen her photo but in real life, she was really beautiful!

She calls Rushali and and Shirish and introduces them to Subhash, Naina and Kinnari Nadkarni.

Sunanda tells Shirish that Mr Nadkarni was a famous industrialist and politician in Nagpur! And this is their daughter Kinnari.

They ask the guests to sit. Raunak comes down the stairs and greets everyone. Sunanda introduces Raunak as her younger nephew and intros him to the Nadkarnis, she tells him, that is Kinnari, ur future Vahini.

Raunak checks out Kinnari and thinks so this is Attu's choice! Quite good!

Mrs Nadkarni asks Sunanda where is ur older nephew Naren?

Sunanda says he must be in his room, getting ready. She signals Rushali who says she will get Naren. She goes upstairs.

Raunak tells Sunanda, Too good Attu! What a girl u have chosen for Bro! He wouldn't have been able to select such a girl himself! Raunak gets up and says he will be back and leaves the room.

Shirish gets a phone call and tells Sunanda he needs to talk to her abt something. Sunanda excuses herself and leaves the room with Shirish.

The Nadkarnis are left by themselves, Kinnari turns to her parents and says angrily, Mom dad, Im telling u again, I don't want to marry that crazy guy! Her mom tells her to speak softly or someone will hear!

Kinnari continues, If you force me to marry him, then I will...

Her dad asks angrily, What will you do? The mom tries to calm him down. Then she tells Kinnari can't she sit quietly for a little while?

Kinnari angrily asks why would she stay quiet as they brought her there by force and now trying to get her married to that madman?

The dad says, have u left us with any other choice? Whole Nagpur knows abt ur shameful activities! Having affairs with some guy or other! Decent guys will take a different path when they see u coming. You shd thank God that at least ur getting a guy to marry even if in Mumbai!

The mom says, This proposal has come on its own...yes we know the boy is slightly mad, but hes Naren Karmarkar, owner of AK group of Industries!

Kinnari scoffs, Really! A millionaire? Im not interested in his money! I need someone like me, I want a husband of my type!

The dad says, if I had my way, I would get u married to a driver, but what to do, we have to think of our status too!

Mom says, Beta, madness can be cured anyday. Doctor has said that his wife's love can change his life! He will be cured!

Kinnari finally agrees, OK, I will marry him because his insanity is profitable for me!

Mom asks her what she means? Kinnari says, Mom, it means that hes a madman so he wont be possessive or try to control me as a husband! He will live his own life, I will live mine.

Sunanda and Shirish return and she tells the Nadkarnis that Naren is coming soon.

Panchgani, in the bedroom

Ovi tells Arjun, Purvi suspects that we are not really husband and wife! And as far as I know her, she will try everything to find out the truth!

Arjun says, Let her try as much as she wants but she shd not know this fact, that is it!

Ovi says, See Arjun the truth has to come out someday. After so many years, the two of you are living under the same roof. Perhaps u may not get this chance again? Arjun Im telling you, go and tell Purvi everything! Tell her how much u love her!

Arjun says, Ovi, again ur saying the same thing! I explained to u so many times, this is not possible! This is for the best for both of us! Please end this now! She shd not know that all this between us is all drama, that is it! Is that clear?

There is a knock on the door, Arjun opens it. Purvi is there wrapped in a shawl. She says shes sorry and hoped she didn't disturb them.

Arjun says, No, did she want anything?

Purvi tells him, actually its very cold here so she has ordered tea for herself. So she came to ask them if they wanted tea or coffee?

Arjun says, That is really sweet of you but I don't think we are hungry? He looks at Ovi who also shakes her head with a smile.

Arjun puts his arm around Ovi's shoulder and says, And as it is we don't get a chance to spend time together so we wanted some time together, alone? If u don't mind?

Purvi says, Its okay! Arjun tells her, we will have dinner and drinks at the party in the evening?

Purvi smiles, Okay, u guys enjoy!

She closes their door and walks away sadly, Arjun leans on the closed door sadly. Song playing in the background, Darmiyaan darmiyaan...

Arjun is almost in tears inside the room while Ovi watches him. Purvi sadly sits at an open window and cries, she remembers Arjun telling her at the sangeeet party that he cannot live without her, asking her not to leave him.

She remembers Arjun doing a volte face at his house the next day, telling her he did all that to make Ovi jealous. Ovi got jealous and came back home and then everything was fine. Hes sorry he shd not have done all that but she shd just leave him now and not try to come back into his life.

Purvi cries, remembering Arjun Ovi shopping at the clothing store, Ovi's hand holding Arjun's arm.

In the room Ovi touches Arjun's shoulder and tells him he still has the chance, to go and tell Purvi everything! Purvi will find out the truth somehow or she will put us in this situation everytime...

Arjun stops her and says, Purvi wont find out the truth, she shd not come to know. I wont let her find out!

Naren's house

Sunanda is telling Nadkarnis that she doesn't have a family of her own but Naren and Raunak grew up before her and she considers them to be her sons.

Naren comes down the stairs, Sunanda calls his name affectionately. Hes wearing a full black outfit. He stops on the stairs and looks up, then goes upstairs again. Sunanda calls him again.

Naren comes down holding Ankita's hand, shes also wearing full black outfit.

The Nadkarnis look surprised, Raunak smirks, Rushali and Shirish look nervous.

Sunanda goes to Naren and pulls him forward but he resists. She introduces him to Mr and Mrs Nadkarni and their daughter Kinnari. Naren does Namaste to the parents and waves a Hi to Kinnari.

Attu tells Naren that they have come from Nagpur. Sunanda glares at Ankita who is standing near the staircase. Naren goes and shakes hands with all the Nadkarnis and introduces himself.

Sunanda looks at Ankita and asks her why she was standing there? She tells her to go and see if the juice was ready or not?

Ankita was leaving but Naren calls her, Ahana, one minute! He goes to Ankita, holds her shoulders and tells the Nadkarnis, I didn't introduce her to you, this is Ahana, my pretty and beautiful wife!

Sunanda and the Nadkarnis are all shocked to hear this! Rushali looks nervous.

Raunak goes to Naren and asks him to step aside for a minute, Naren excuses himself and goes with Raunak.

Rushali tells the Nadkarnis, Actually she is Naren's nurse but he thinks she is Ahana! You must know that Naren's mental condition is not very...u know!

Sunanda tells Shirish to show the house to Nadkarnis. He agrees and takes them with him, but Sunanda asks Kinnari to stay back and have a conversation with Naren when he returns.

Raunak takes Naren outside and asks him if he likes gifts, Naren says of course he likes gifts! Raunak tells Naren they will play a new game with their guests today which is called Wedding wedding!

Naren asks what does that mean? Raunak tells him those people don't know u and Ahana are married because they didn't come to ur wedding, so they want u to get married again.

Naren says, that means I will have to become a bridegroom again? Ahana's bridegroom? But this time we will do it in a different style, like a Church wedding, she will lift her veil and then I kiss the bride, something like that! But why do these people want me to get married again?

Raunak tells him because it's a game naa...and these people will play the role of Ahana's parents!

Naren says, Oh the role that Archana ji had played? Okay, Cool! Im on!

Raunak asks are u sure? Then our team shd win the game! Are u ready? Naren shakes hand with Raunak in a game pact and then leaves.

Raunak smirks as usual and says, Now we will have fun!

Naren goes back to the living room, Sunanda asks him to sit down and talk to Kinnari.

He says Okay, sits down beside Kinnari who looks apprehensive. Sunanda gets up and is leaving and calls Rushali to join her. Rushali joins Sunanda but quickly instructs Ankita who is standing behind a couch to stay there and not leave Naren alone.

Sunanda takes Rushali aside and scolds her in hushed tones, how many times have I told u not to keep Naren with this girl? Keep them apart! Why don't you understand that Naren is completely under the control of that girl. And sadly that girl can control Naren better than u can!

Rushali looks back at Ankita who looks upset and hurt by what Sunanda is saying.

Kinnari looks at Naren and thinks, Oh God! Where did I get trapped? The guy seems nice, hes handsome and good-looking! Hes rich too, if only he wasn't mad, then my life would be set!

Ankita turns to leave, Naren calls her Ahana! He pulls her hand and makes her sit with him. He asks Ankita, why is that girl staring at me?

She tells him, Sir, shes impressed with you as u play games so well! Perhaps she doesn't know how to..

Naren laughs and tells Kinnary, Oh, then I can teach you! He takes out his mobile and gives it to Kinnari, tells her to go ahead and play, he will teach her! Kinnari takes it and Naren tells her to JUMP! JUMP!

She is flustered and doesn't know what to do and what he means. Ankita looks sad as Naren tries to teach a confused Kinnari the game.

PRECAP: Mr. Nadkarni is telling the Karmarkars that in every wedding proposal transparency is very important which you have shown. And as far as Naren's illness is concerned, then we have full faith in our daughter! She will cure him with her love and faith! We like your son and we agree to ur proposal!
