A beautiful sunset bathes the city in a mellow red glow. Jassi is standing before her mirror, adjusting the pallu of her turquoise sari. She looks stunning, but perplexed. She is thinking, "Aisa kaunsa surprise hai jo Armaan ne organise kiya hai? Mujhe kuch bata bhi nahin rahe?"
Ila comes in, looking harried. "Beta, tumhare Papaji ne abhi-abhi phone kiya hai….Beauty ki stylist traffic jam mein stuck hai…..tumhe wahan ja kar sab kuch sort out karna hoga….bachchon ko main ready kar dungi…."
Jassi hurriedly agrees and rushes off. There is no sign of Armaan. She tells Ila before leaving, "Mom, jab Armaan aaye toh aap unhe bata dena, main kahaan hun….wo wahin se hume pick kar le."
Ila agrees and Jassi gets into the car. Just then her phone rings. She picks it up and complains, "Armaan, tum kahaan ho? Main Beauty ke paas ja rahi hun, wahaan meri zaroorat hai….tum mujhe wahin se le lena."
Armu: Jassi, tum khud aa jao na….main yahaan thoda busy hun…..abhi poori tayarian nahin hui….
Jassi: Nahin hui? Armaan are you sure….raat tak sab organise ho jayega?
Armu: Of course….aisi shaadi hogi ki poora Mumbai yaad rakhega…..aur tum bhi!
She laughs and cuts the call. Arriving at the Walia home, she finds that the stylist has managed to reach, but a good one hour late. Giving her some tips on how to get Beauty ready in the reduced time, she pays a visit to Nandu.
He is standing before his mirror in a light blue shervani, looking critically at himself. His face brightens on seeing Jassi. "Dekh, main kitna handsome lag raha hun….aaj uss Raj Malhotra ki chhuti kar dunga!"😆
Jassi: (laughing) Kum se kum aaj to hiss ladai ko break de de…..waise bhi tujhe Raj ki taraf dekhne ki fursat kahaan hogi….teri nazrein toh Beauty par tiki hongi!
And at Raj's house, Armaan is saying exactly the same thing to his best friend. "Ab aaj tu please Nandu se ulajhna mat…..apni attention Neha par hi rakhna!"
Raj: Don't worry about that, meri nazrein toh ussi par rahengi…..yaar, Jassi ko phone karke poochte hai, usse toh pata hoga na….Neha kaisi lag rahi hai?
Armu: Thodi der aur patience rakh le, wo tere saamne hi hogi!! Chal ab ghar chal, wahaan saari rasmein poori karke hi humne baarat nikaalni hai….
Much later:
Nandu's and Raj's entourages land up at exactly the same moment at the venue. Both give each other condescending smiles before getting on their respective horses. Armu is standing next to Raj, Jassi is next to Nandu. Their eyes meet. Armu gives her a look which clearly says, "You are gorgeous."😊 She blushes and looks down.
The combined baarat consists of the male Gulmohur employees, Billu Walia and Puru Suri, and Armaan. The female GM staff, all the ladies of the Walia and Suri households, and Jassi cart off the two brides to the rooms reserved for them. Before leaving, Jassi presses Nandu's hand. "Tu sachmuch bahut handsome lag raha hai."
Nandu: (whispering) Jassi, aaj tu apne best friend ke saath nahin rahegi…yahin ruk ja na, mere paas…..
She smiles fondly at him. "Toh phir meri behen aur teri dulhan ke saath kaun rahega?"
Nandu: Jassi, Beauty ke saath toh kai log hai…yahaan dekh, Raj ke saath Armaan hai, mere saath Uncleji toh hai, par tub hi ruk ja na…..
Armaan: (coming over) Kyun, kay main sirf Raj ka dost hun…..tumhara nahin? Main hun na tumhare saath! Nandu, aaj raat na tum na Raj kisi baat ki kami mehsoos karoge…. I promise that!
Jassi smiles gratefully at him. He looks at her thoughtfully for a moment. "Jassi….ek minute mere saath chalo."
Jassi: (raising her eyebrows) Abhi?
Armu: Ummm….tumse ek zaroori baat karni hai….
Nandu: (teasingly) Jao jao….main yahin hun, kahin nahin ja raha….jitni baatein karni hai kar lo…..
Armu leads her to a secluded room and whispers, "Jassi, ye sari tumhe utaarni padegi!"
She goes tomato red. "Armaan!! Yeh waqt nahin hai……"☺️
Armu: Jassi! Mera wo matlab nahin tha! Yeh sari bahut achchi hai….lekin maine tumahre liye ek aur outfit ready kiya hai….dekho toh sahi!
She incredulously unwraps the package he has handed her. On seeing what's inside, she gasps in surprise.😛
