Mujhe Shadi Nahi Karni

Mujhe shadhi nahi karni''

Let's start with the Khuranas'.

Savithri Devi Khurana''Maan's Dadi'..

Kiran Khanna'..her daughter'.Maan's buaji'.

Vijay Khanna'her husband'.

Dev Khanna''her son'.

Meera Khanna''Dev's wife'.

Arthi 'their daughter'..

And of course'Maan Singh Khurana'.angry young man'..lost his parents early and lives with his Dadi supported by his buaji and her husband'.

Gurmeet Choudhary on the sets of Geet

They saty in Delhi'..

After Maan's father and Vijay's business partner Madan Khurana died, Vijay, Maan's uncle, thought that it's not fair for him to stay in this business anymore as he is the only partner taking care of it now and he would definitely become partial one day oe the other'.that would be unfair'he can't do this to Maan who is already in trouble losing his mother and father in quick succession '.

Though he won't cheat Maan he is not sure of his wife, she is a greedy woman, and she won't even spare her nephew'.

He gradually withdrew from KC and started his real estate business'.

Even now he deals with the lands involved with KC projects but his company takes care of only procuring the land and the rest is left to KC'.

Now that Maan is ready to handle KC he had handed over the business to him'.

He still guides Maan and he genuinely loves Maan'.

He is like a father figure for Maan'.

Kiran is very proud of her husband Vijay, and she values his money more than anything else'..

She always boasts his success in terms of the money he makes to others'

Maan just hates it when she talks ill about her husband when something doesn't work out as per his plans and he loses heavily'..

She will start calling him a fool, and that he would put her in the street one day'..

She had smartly transferred half the property on her name in the pretext of saving tax'..

She is always calculative'..she would make a shrewd business woman'..but never a good life partner'.

She is intelligent and many of her suggestions have benefited both KC and Uncle's(Maan's Uncle, buaji's husband) real estate business too'..

But she thinks that only she knows everything and never cares about what Uncle thinks'.

Uncle has divorced her at his heart long back and has re-married his business'.

Maan respects his uncle very much and he considers him as his godfather'..

Not that he hates his buaji, but he loves his uncle more'..

Maan has just taken charge of KC'.Khurana constructions after his MBA'

Next what? '.Maan's marriage'.isn't it'.

That's what Dadi and Kiran think'.

And they have already begun their hunt for their bahu'..

But Maan is dead against marriage'.

It's a life long compromise between two individuals and as far as Maan knows every husband and every wife just hang to their marriage only for the sake of the society or their children''

Shdhi ek bhoj hai jisko ek bar pane gandhe mein utane ke badh ussko neeche rakhna namunkin hojaatha aur humme zindagi bar uss bhoj ke saath hi jeena padtha'..

Mauth hi humme uss bhoj se mukhthi dega'

Jaise ki Maan ke papa ne socha tha'..

Maan's father and mother always had a bitter relationship and as a kid Maan has always seen them fighting and cursing each other'.

Maan's mother, Sheetal always told Maan that she is tolerating all this trouble only for Maan'.

This created an unknown guilty feeling in young Maan's mind'..

So he is the reason for his mothre's plight'..

He is the hand cuff which she can't break'..

Maan's father is very short tempered and when he gets angry he loses his mind and becomes mad'.

Maan has even seen him beat his mother a couple of times'..

How he wanted to kill him?...he is one beast when he is drunk'.

But he was a very nice person otherwise'..

Sheetal left for her maika in order to make her husband give up drinking'.

But Madan got more angry and he went to see her in full booze'.

Poor Maan was happy to see his father and he thought that he could go back to his dadi'..

He loves his Dadi very much'.

She is the one who tries to shield him from these two morons'.

She won't say that her son is right and neither her bahu is right'

She also fights him equally and always thinks about herself, not Maan'.

Dadi had requested her to get a divorce and leave her son for the sake of Maan'

But she was stubborn and wanted to make her husband pay for his deeds'.

Her family misguided her and she took her husband to court, dowry harassment, which was a big lie'..

Now Madan wants to settle this down out of court'.

So saying he took her wife with him'..

They went to a nearby hotel and no one knew what happened but Madan left the room after an hour'.

Sheetal was found unconscious in the room'

She was taken to a hospital but hse never recovered'.

Madan had slapped her in rage when she argued with him and that was too much for a weak, starved Sheetal'.

Sheetal's family said that it was a murder and Madan was in jail for six months'.

Vijay somehow bailed him out but he can't save Madan from his own guilt'.

Madan commited suicide the next day itself'.

From then on Kiran nad vijay took care of maan'.

Maan was barely 12 when all this happened'.

So for Maan marriage is a punishment'..

He has decided never to marry and spoil a girl's life'.rather he won't let a girl spoil his life, snatch his freedom and joy forever just b'coz she has a magic wand in her hand or neck, the mangalsutar'.

He is also short tempered and knows that he can't control his anger'..

Moreover he would never compromise in his life'.it is his life, he would live it his way'..

Dadi would always say that Maan is like his mother, stubborn '

Not in front of him, but whenever Maan gets angry and shouts at the servants'..

Maan easily gets irritated when things are not done as per his wish'..

Dadi has spoilt him by granting all his wishes just to keep his anger in check'.

Moreover Dadi didn't want to upset him as he is a motherless child'.

She is very carefull that she never lets him miss his mother'.

Kiran has always disapproved this and warns Dadi that this is not good for Maan'

When Maan gets out of control and slams a plate or something'..

she would call Kiran and tell her that he is seeing his son back in Maan, along with the zidd of Sheetal'.

Dadi believes that only her bahu could change him'.so get him married'

Just the same mistake she did with her son'..

The Handas''

Darji''.

Mohinder and Ranno'..Geet's parents

Balwinder and Rajinder'.Geet's bade paap and wife

Teeto- Geet's little brother

Brij- Geet's cousin

Preetho- his wife

Gia ' their daughter'.

and our very own Geet Handa...

They live in Hoshiarpur'..

At Hoshiarpur'..

Geet is on a hunger strike now'.

First she went on a silent mode and now this '..

She stopped talking with everyone except for Gia, her best friend''.

Can you believe? Gia is her best friend, she is only 6 yrs old, that will tell you a lot about our child woman'..

She strongly believes in satyagarha, after all a nation got its freedom by this why not Geet get her freedom also?

It all happened on this Pinky's wedding'.

Why the hell she was friends with this Pinky'..

She is a duffer and attended college only for a timepass'.

Her marriage was fixed years before'..what's all this about marriages?

Why should girls get married? Don't they have the freedom to live on their own?

Say like Vivekananda, or our Vajpayeeji

Now you get to know our Geet very well, she is a geek or a nerd, whatever you call''

Anything about physical relationships'.a big no''.

She would close her ears when the others share a joke or something''

While everyone loved M&B she is like reading Secret Seven and Nancy Drew'..

Somehow she thought this romance and so called love is the trap set by the male dominated society to keep the girls within the four walls'..she is not going to fall for this''.

At the wedding''

Geet's Naanu introduced her to one of his friend'.

And Geet was so happy that day'.she took the centre stage at the sangeet'.

Though she is more a Tom girl, no make-up, nothing, She looked like a Dulhan that day'.

She was ready to fly out of her cage'.free from her family's pressure to marry her off'against her dreams'.she believes that she needs to study more, explore the world'.go places'meet people'.have fun'what the hurry for marriage?

Moreover their's being a business family they value money more than anything else'.even education'..

What's the big deal'.if you are not a brainy, you just hire one'but you need the money for everything'.

But Geet always believes that one should be valued by his qualifications, his knowledge, degrees and intelligence'.

She wanted to learn more and more, but these people didn't let her for the fear of not getting a suitable groom, most of the boys settle in their family business earlier and start earning rather wasting your time on higher education'.

Geet's family has been looking for a groom for her ever since she turned 18'.

It all started when she finished school itself'.

She studied from Amritsar staying with her Naani and Naanu'.

Her Naanu too is a businessman but he wanted his son to get a degree, any degree, but her stupid mamaji studied in 5 colleges in 7 years and never got a degree'.

But he is the one who introduced her to Osho, Vivekananda, Karl marx and evry other legends'Tatas, Ambanis and Bill Gates too'.

He also introduced her to Indian politics'.Nehru, Gandhi, Indira, Morarji Desai to the Modis and the Rahuls'.

He has got a whole lot of books and magazines'.what a treat for her'.

She always drowned in one of them'..

She was such a bore that one of her college friends made a big wall poster for her with DDLJ background and the saying'''''." LIFE IS FANTASTIC''MAKE IT ROMANTIC>>>>"

Geet's mother fulfilled her father's wish'she became the first graduate in her family'..

But no one would believe that Ranno is a graduate if they see her now'.

She is now a research scholar in cookery'..for she stays in the kitchen all day'.

It all changed after her marriage'.it was a sin for a woman to even to read magazine at her sasuraal'

When Geet passed out of school with distinction, she wanted to joind a professional course'preferably Textile Technology '..

Her father is in the textile business'..

Alas! Her family looked at her like an alien when she disclosed her wish'.

Iss ladhki ko kya ho gaya?

it would have been better if she had opted medicine like her best friend at school'.

But Geet was not into medicine'..

She wanted to be a business woman'

When she told Darji that she wanted to join their business oneday, Darji thought that it must be the stupid education she got that has made her mad''

So, no more studies'get her back to Hoshiarpur and get her married'she was still a minor'.

Naanu won't let that happen'.

Naanu said that he won't send her back'let her join any college, Darji can find a match for her, she would go to college till then, she won't sit idle at home'

Geet then joined bachelor's degree in computers'.her newly found passion'.

All thanks to that summer course she did after her +2 boards were over'.

She joined college at Amritsar itself'.

But when she was in 2nd year, Darji wanted to get her married to an illiterate(+2 pass, it's also illiterate for her) business man from Chandigarh'

She went on a hunger strike for two days with a lot of crying and fighting with her mother'.

She always accused Ranno for neglecting her and always taking care of Teeto only'

But Teeto had some problems at birth, so weak that he fell sick often'.Ranno had to accompany him from one hospital to other'.

Moreover Ranno didn't want Geet to stay at her 18th century sasuraal'..

Teeto was a dull student unlike Geet who is so brilliant'..

Geet had never seen Teeto with a book in hand'.

It's always been Ranno who did the reading and her brother would just listen to her half-hearted'.

He is always this cricket freak'..thinks that he is the next Sachin'..

Geet just loves watching the men in blue in action''.

After a lot of drama Darji let her finish her degree, but she would get married after that'.

Geet agreed provided the boy was well educated'..

They made a deal and its time to implement it'.

Here they have got an engineer turned business man,* note the point, he is still a business man* from Delhi''the onle +ve is Delhi'she can fly away from Hoshiarpur to a cosmopolitan city'.

But still these business people are only after money'.

They see everything in terms of money'..daughter's marriage'son's education'whatever'

Her brother Brij was very happy to save a few lakhs for his business rather than doing an MBA'.typical business mind'always calculative'..

How will her would be business partner oops life partner be any different?

Part - 1

One evening at KM'''.

Dadi and Maan's bhuaji are seriously discussing something'..

Maan just enters'..

Suddenly they stop their chat in the middle'..

They look at each other and pretend to have not seen Maan'..

Maan knows that it's all about his marriage'.

He has told them a thousand times that he is not interested in marriage'.rather he hates marriage'.

For him marriage means suffering'..

He had seen a lot of troubled marriages including his own parents' marriage'..

Buaji ko hi lelo''she loves only money and property, luckily Maan's uncle is a fairly good businessman'.he started KC along with Maan's father and also had taken care of it after Mr.Khurana left till Maan took over the business last month'.

But for Maan she is very loving and caring'..

Atleast she took care of him all these years'..

Kiran: maa, Maan aagaya

Dadi: Kiran, aap hi baat karna

Kiran: pehle app shuru toh karo

Dadi: Maan bete, aap aagaye?

Maan: Dadi, pichle 5 min se mein yahi kada hoon

Kiran: aur humne dekha hi nahi

Isse achche koi joot nahi bol saktha'.

Maan: kaise dekhteh? App donno toh koi nayi kichdhi pakane mein busy the

Maan thinks'.patha nahi aaj kisski band bajanewali hai'..mein toh jaantha hoon ki meri hi band bajanewala hai aaj, haan

Kiran: kya? aaise kuch nahi hai

Dadi: haan haan, hum toh bas aapke barein mein baat kar rahe the

Kiran: maa''

Maan gets angry'..phirse wahi purane kahaani? Shadhi karlo, aldhki aaisi hai, waisi hai'.

Maan: toh meinne sahi samja? Koi mujhe bathayega ki yahan kya ho raha hai?

Maan chilatha''

Kiran isse dekhkke darnewali nahi'.Dadi may surrender atonce'.but not Kiran'.

Kiran looks into his eyes'..

They are red hot in anger'..

Kiran ignored them'don't show me this attitude beta'I'm your bua'same blood'same anger'.don't forget'.i'm also a khurana'..merried to a khanna par ho toh ek Khurana'..

Kiran: Maan, ab tummare padayi bhi katam ho gayi, aur tum KC ko bhi sambalna shuru kiye ho

Maan: buaji, mujhe patha hai ki aap kya baat karnewale hai

Kiran: that's better, so you too think that it's time for your marriage

Maan: what? I don't want any marriage' Why do you want me to repeat this again and agian?

Maan starts walking away'.with the attitude..I don't care''.

Kiran: Maaan, ab bahut ho gaya, iss bar mein teri shadhi karkke arhoongi, tummare pyaare Uncleji bhi mere saath hai

Maan stops'..what? Uncle too wants the same?

But he has always supported him'..what happened now?

Kiran starts her emotional hatyachaar''

Kiran: tummari Dadi iss umar mein akhele iss ghar ko sambal nahi pathi, you know she is getting weak day by day

Dadi: hare bagwan, mere palpitations, lagtha hai phirse shuru ho gaya

Dadi joins the act'..

Kiran: maa

Dadi winks'..

Dadi: Maan bete, ab aapko hummari koi chintha nahi hai

Maan looks at her with a mischievous smile'.

Dadi can't control her smile'..

Maan: Dadi, you and your palpitations, try something else next time'..

Maan laughs''

Maan: dekha buaji, ye meri Dadi hai, kabhi mere khilaaf nahi jayenge, haina Dadi

Dadi: par Maan bete, aapke bhua ki baat mein bhi dum hai, humme aapki shadhi dekhna hai, humme bhi apne ghar ko roshan karne ke liye ek bahu chahiye

Maan shows the lighting'.: itni roshni kaafi nahi hai kya?

Kiran: Maan, be serious, Dadi sahi kehthe hai, it's high time we get a bahu for this house

Maan: bahu kya show-piece hai, jo aap donno rathon raat kareedhkke layenge?

Kiran: tumme usski fikar karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai, humne pehle hi ladhki ko chunliya hai

Dadi: haan bete, humne bhi dekha tha, ladhki bahut sundar hai aur padhe likhi bhi hai

Maan: what? Dadi mujhe koi shahdi nahi karni, chahhe woh koi aasmaan ki bari bhi ho, and that's final, aaplog iss baat ko abhi bhool jao, MSK abhi kissi bhi ladhki ko shadhi nahi karega

Maan just leaves without waiting for their reaction'.

Dadi looks worried'.ab kya hoga?

Ye ladhka kitne din aaise zidd pakadkke rahega,hummare mar jaane ke badh issko kaun sambalega?

Baabji, aap hi hummare madat kar sakthe hai'.

Buaji: maa, aap kyun fikar kathe hai, mujhe patha hai ki Maan ko kaise manana hoga

Maan is realy pissed off'

What the hell is going on ?

Maan doesn't know how far they have gone with the wedding plans'

Dadi has already seen the girl? So they must have talked with her family too'.

Maan hates this'.

He doesn't like marriage, so what? He doesn't have the right to hurt any girl's feelings'.

Now they will ask Maan to meet the girl'.

And how on earth would he tell her that he is not interested in marriage,

But which girl would believe that?

It's all just another excuse, thoda alag hai par ho toh joot hai'.

isska madlab toh seedha hai, I don't like you'.

This would hurt her pride'.why is that every girl wants the boy to say that she looks like a princess, princess are found only in fairytales''

Maan has to stop this right now'.

Meanwhile Kiran has implemented her plan'..

Uncle calls Maan'..

Maan respects him so much that he can't say no to him ever'..

Kiran uses this to trap Maan'..

Vijay: halo Maan

Maan: haan Uncle

Vijay: when are you going to meet that girl?

Vijay asks him straightaway not giving Maan time to think of an excuse'.

Maan: woh'..meinne abhi abhi business join kiya haina, thoda busy hoon

Vijay: you can't tell this to me, I know KC better than you, how about this weekend?

Maan: this weekend? It's firday?

Vijay: so what? Come to Amritsar along with your buaji tomorrow, we can talk then

Maan: par mein kaise aaoon?

Vijay: take the car young man, zyada sochne ki koi zaroorat nahi, I know that this is the girl for you

Maan: aap ne bhi ussko dekha hai?

Vijay laughs'..

Vijay: don't worry, you can see her soon, why not this Sunday? I'll talk to Jodinder(Geet's naanu)

Maan: woh'mein keh raha tha ki

Maan fumbles'..

If Vijay has decided something then Maan has no other go but to meet this so called beayty queen'.

Vijay: good night Maan, see you at Amritsar

Maan: good night Uncle

Kaise good night'.unlce has spoiled his sleep now''

This is not good, he has to do something quick or else there is no escape'.

MSK, you can do this, socho Maan socho'..

Though he had been locked like this by his bhua the key is also in her hands only'.

Maan has to somehow persuade her to help him get out of this trouble'..

This time there is no escape Mr.MSK'.be ready to meet our princess'..

Actually Vijay wants Maan to meet the girl and then only after he likes the girl Vijay would proceed further'.

It's not a good idea to force someone to marry a girl of your choice'

Maan should like her first''

But Vijay is confident, who wouldn't like Geet?

Even Kiran liked her atonce'.

It's not easy to satisfy Kiran easily'.

She rejected about a hundred girls for Dev and finally selected Meera'..

Vijay would tease her that she has scored a cenrury'.how could she meet so many girl and keep picking faults? And she never gets tired finding faults with others'specially meera'.

But for Maan this is the first official girl they are seeing'

And Kiran likes her ?

What's the magic?

Nothing like that, she is more concerned in persuading Maan to finally get married than worrying about the girl'.

But the problem with Maan is not the girl'.he hates marriage or maybe scared of marriage''

Part – 2

At Hoshiarpur….

Geet thinks about what happened after she finished her degree….

She was very happy that she successfully completed this …..

Now it's time to get into the MBA course…

Geet had been preparing for the entrance too……

But her family is busy with her wedding plans…..

Geet too knows this very well….

Once when Geet was at Hoshiarpur for a holiday….

A woman called Geet's home….

Geet attended the call…..

A mother os a software engineer working in the US….and as Geet was a computer graduate she was keen in this rishtha….

After a little chit-chat with her Geet had a good impression on her, she was a woman with a lot of confidance, well-educated, not like her mother, she is a finance consultant in Chandigarh….

Geet instantly liked her….software engineer? Us?

Geet could do her MS there and join his office itself…..

But Darji interrupted, had a brief convo with her, he didn't seem much interested….

We won't send our girl abroad, we are looking for a local boy…bang he kept the receiver….

But the real reason is he didn't like a woman bossing around, what's her man doing? Letting her speak while he hides behind her pallu?

Now Geet imagines what kind of a family she would be married to?

Same sick people always underestimating women like these Handas…..

From then on Geet is having nightmares about her sasuraal…..

What if she also ended in the kitchen?

What if she can't read naymore?

What if she can't go out anymore?

She prepared well for her project and hoped that somehow she can impress her family and get into PG….she had even got applications from a college in Chandigarh…..

But she knows that it's impossible…..

Letting her alone to saty in a hostel….no way is this going to happen…

Still her mind thinks about this only and never about marriage……

It is not for me….I don't want any marriage…..

Just to postpone her permanent return to Hoshiarpur she joined an advanced computer class….

Moreover someone told her that it would be the best choice if you want to get employed……

She can get a job and run away from home, isn't that a good idea?

But hardly a week later everything changed…..

Why did she go to that Pinky's marriage?

Doesn't she know that matches are made at such marriages in her society?

Btu how could she miss her best friend's wedding?

And everything happened so fast after that…Geet didn't even have the time to realize that it's all real…..

The final count down for her life sentence has started……

Ranno came and took her to Hoshiarpur that day…

Geet was reluctant to go back to Hoshiarpur….

Once she goes there there is no coming back…..

They will spoil all her derams…..

What about the MBA entrance?

Darji won't even know what she is talking about…

Mohinder though sympathises with her won't be able to go against Darji's orders…

Who wants his sympathies?

What a father he is?

Not able to fulfil his daughter's wishes…..

But Darji is the head of the village, the whole of Hoshairpur nod their head to his words without even thinking for a second, ye toh Darji ka izzat ka sawaal hai…..Mohinder kuch nahi kar saktha…..

Darji had already given his words to Vijay……

No stopping what so ever….

And why would anyone even think of stopping this?

They are too happy that Geet is going to Delhi, first girl going so far from Hoshiarpur…..

And she also loves the city life more….haina?

Ranno also finds this the best opportunity for Geet to get her freedom….

She is impressed with Kiran's authority….

So the women have their voice in family decisions…..

Moreover Vijay is a well educated nice gentleman…..

She had seen him at her house a couple of times….

He respects her father very much……

She has heard about Maan's parents' tragic end……

Her father believed that it was realy unfortunate that people start blaming each other and someone even accussed Vijay for all this…..

He cheated Maan's father in business….

So Sheetal left him and so on…..

People and their imaginations…

It took a long time for the stories to stop…..

Now …….At KM…..

Maan thinks about how to escape from his bua's cunning trap…..

She is too smart….but only she can help him now…..

Only she can manage Vijay know?

But Maan doesn't know that it was only Vijay who had seen Geet first and thought that she would be a good choice for Maan……

Geet naanu Joginder is a good friend of Vijay…..

They are both from Amritsar and they know each other for nearly three decades…..

Business friends, but later became close buddies…..

Joginder introduced Geet at Pinky's marriage to Vijay…..

Told him that they are planning to get her married….

He can also help him find a suitable var…..

Vijay knows about Ranno and her in-laws too….

Vijay was sceptical about getting Ranno married to Mohinder who is a school dropout….

But to his surprise Ranno adjusted so well and Darji is very proud of his choti bahu…,

She never complained that her in-laws are gavaar, unpad or anything for that matter….

She is such a great person, so humble and never boasted that she is better qualified than the others, her daughter should be like her only….

Vijay was already thinking about Maan…..

Given the horrible back ground of Maan, you need someone who already knows his family troubles…

Anyone new would agree to this relationship only for the money and Maan's past would be made a big issue whenever there is a misunderstanding, they will compare Maan with his father and say that they have been cheated….

As for as Joginder is concerned, he knows everything about Kiran's family…….

There is nothing to hide from him…..

And moreover Maan has been left alone all these days, no family except Dadi….

Darji's family is one big family with his two sons and their children living happily under the same roof….

So this is a jackpot for Maan…..moer than anything he needs a family to support him…..

And without any hesitation Vijay told about Maan….

Vijay told about the girl to Kiran and she went and saw her the next day itself…..

She also liked her very much…..

Then ti was Dadi's turn ….and now it's Maan's turn….

After all these drama how can one reject a girl?

Vijay wouldn't have let them do this picnic to visit the HAndas every week if he isn't determined to get them married…..

Though Geet would get a hundred good offers than this Maan wouldn't get a better girl…..

Not only her looks but her family, her background, her Naanu, everything is just more than satisfaying for Vijay….

And Maan's marriage has been his responsibility…..

He doesn't want to do this for Kiran….he wants to do this for Maan……

Somehow he is always attached to Maan, though he won't show it off he loves him very much….

And Maan would only listen to Vijay, and not even Kiran……

Kiran never commands Maan, she always pampers him just like Dadi….

But she also tries to instill some discipline in Maan lest he becomes like his father….

She always used Vijay as her weapon…..

Maan respects him so much that he won't even utter a word against him other than "yes Uncle, ji Uncle, OK Uncle, I'll do it…"

Though this rishtha was brought by Vijay, Kiran also liked Geet, as her pathija is good looking she needs a beautiful girl for him, her bahu is also not bad, she won't admit Meera is so beautiful which she is, now Kiran had to find a girl more beautiful than Meera else everyone would complain that Kiran is biased, she had got a good girl for her son and not Maan, if it was Maan's mother, Sheetal,she would have found a better match for Maan…..

Since her babhi left Kiran had the extra responsibility of Maan, and everyone would ask her about Maan only not Dev, she hates when people say that Maan is very unlucky, what's Maan's mistake? His parents were two lunatics…..

She always defended Maan and says that Maan has brought them luck for KC's business boomed only after his birth……and that was b'coz of Vijay and Madan's hardwork…..

Madan almost spent days together at KC……not even bothering to see his pregnant wife…..

That's one big obsession he had, his business…..this was one of Sheetal's complains….no time for wife….

So everyone is happy with this marriage except for our Maneet…..

Part -3

Next day€..

Kiran is getting ready to go to Amritsar€.

She knows that Vijay has spoken to Maan€.

So Maan should also be ready by now€.

She is waiting for Maan€..

Kiran looks tensed€

Jab tak Maan iss shadhi ke liye haan nahi kehtha woh chain se nahi jee sakthi€.

She knows that Maan is very stubborn just like her brother€..

Kiran: maa, Maan abhi tak nahi aaya?

Dadi looks at the clock€.

Dadi: why do you worry? Maan will be here in 5 mins, this clock forget to tell the time someday, but Maan arrival would tell us that it€™s 9 without fail

Kiran: ohhh€we are always punctual, we are the khuranas

Dadi: lo, Maan bhi aagaye

Kiran: chalo Maan, jaldhi se nastha karlo, we are getting late

Maan: haan, mujhe office mein ek urgent meeting hai

Kiran: what?

How could Vijay forget it?

Kiran thinks that Vijay had forgotten to speak with Maan€..

Dadi: lekhin Maan, aapko aaj Amritsar jaana haina? Aapke uncleji ne aapse baat nahi kiya kya?

Kiran: ye bhi na, hamesha inkko apna business ki padi hai€aaj bhi meeting? Mein bhi poochthi hoon ki aaise kaunsi badhi meeting hai?

Kiran tries to call Vijay€

Maan stops her€..

Maan: I know, I know, uncleji called me last night, and I also know who is behind this

Kiran: what? Why are you staring me? It€™s totally your uncle€™s wish, haina maa?

Dadi: haan bete, aapko patha haina? Uss Sameera ke incident ke badh toh humne aap ke liye ladhki dhoondhna band kardhi

Sameera€™s story€..

This girl is one of Maan€™s juniors at college€

She was madly in love with him€

But Maan never bothered the girls€.

And also he was so arrogant and anti-social(just like DD says about GC)€..

There was no option to know him or even talk to him€.

She collected every news about him and heard about Kiran€.

She was told that Kiran is Maan€™s world€he would never go against her wishes€.

Sam made a plan along with her mother€.

Sam being a single child, her parents spoilt her granting every wish without even thinking for a second€..

So Maan was the next on her wish list€.

You want that hubby€OK no problem€..

Let€™s get into some action€€

They come to Amritsar and start their drama€..

They meet Kiran at a mall€.

Sam runs to her with a mobile and starts the conversation€.

Sam: m€™am, aapka mobile

Kiran: ye mera nahi hai

Sam: someone has lost it, I better check the call register

She calls the last dialed number and within a couple of minutes a woman comes and takes her mobile€thanking sam€.

She is so smart€.

Kiran is impressed€..

Sam: sorry to bother you

Kiran: no problem, btw I must get you something for what you did , come

Kiran gets her a suit€.

Sam: if you want me to take this you should promise to visit our home when you come to Delhi

Kiran: Delhi?

Kiran ke dimag mein ganti bhajtha€€

Sam is the college beauty€.

Then Kiran meets her mother€.

Finds out that sam is the only daughter just like Meera€.perfect€.

Kiran fell in their trap so easily€.

She talks with Vijay and they all are satisfied€.

Even Dadi was so impressed€

Sam went and met dadi in some pooja€€made a scene and lo dadi bhi mangayi ki sam jaise koi nahi hai€.

Kiarn sends Maan to meet this girl€.without prior notice€just like an accident as Sam preplanned€.

Btu Maan was dead against that€.

Sam lied to everyone that Maan is also happy to marry her€.

Another spooky plan€.

They start the wedding preperations€.

Maan comes to know that€.

Gets very nagry€goes to meet Sam€..

Sam tries to woo him€..but MSK toh MSK hai€.usski marzi ke khilaf kuch nahi hotha€.

Finally Sam cursed him that he would marry someone who doesn€™t love him€.

Then Vijay had to settle a few lakhs taht Sam€™s father spent to book the hall and everything€

That was a huge loss of money€

Kiran wouldn€™t do that mistake another time€..

Meera had a good laugh at this€.

Kiran decided that she won€™t get fooled like that in future€.

She even suspects Meera if she says something cheesy€..

Maybe it was that curse€.

Poor Maan, how will he escape this time?

So kiran wouldn€™t take the risk this time€..

This time it€™s all Vijay€™s call€€

Kiran: see, I€™m also just like you only, I just met the girl and she is so beautiful, just perfect for you, so I thought why not give it a try, I just want you to meet that girl, you will definitely like her, she is not a cheater like Sameera, she is so innocent and Vijay says that she will be the best for you

Maan: mein ktine bar keh saktha? Aap logon ko ye baat kyun samaj mein nahi aatha? Woh ladhki chahe kitne bhi sundar ho, ya aasmaan se uthri koi pari bhi ho, mujhe ko farak nahi padgtha, aur mujhe koi shadhi wadhi nahi karni, is that clear?

Kiran: mujhse baat karkke kya faida? Ab chalo Amritsar chalthe hai. ane Uncle se hi baat akrlo

Maan: mein nahi aaraha hoon

Maan thinks that they are planning to send him to Hoshiarpur and yes he is right€€.

Kiran: OK, fine, call your uncle and ask him to come and take me

Maan: what?

Kiran: mujhe toh Amritsar jaana haina?

Maan: teek hai, teek hai, I€™ll come with you

Maan keeps silent all the way€

He stared out of the wiondow and never looked at Kiran€

So Maan is very upset€..he won€™t talk to me€.

Kiran feels bad€this she can€™t tolerate€..she can€™t see Maan sad€..

She feels guilty at times that if her babhi was there would she do the same?

This time she thinks she is right, and Vijay is always right€€

Kya karein kuch pane ke liye kuch khona hi padtha, haina?

Chalo aaj naraaz hoga lekhin ladhki se milne ke badh kush ho jayega, phir apne aap baat karne lagega€

Part - 4

Hoshiarpur

Geet is still thinking of the past..

Thiis happened just a couple of days after Geet was abducted fron Amritsar and kept under house arrestthats how she has been telling to Gia..

Gia ki story time toh ab bahut interesting ho gayi hai..

Geet tells her all her stories to Gia.and also warns her to be a brave child

Hummare desh mein toh ladhkiyon ko bahudur hona chahiye, kyunki unko hi har din ek nayi jung ladhna padtha..apne thoda ghyaan bhi Gia ko dethi..

Geet was so angry with her family that she never ever wanted to see them face to face.

She is confined to her room..

Her day starts with the bhook hartal that ends around 11 am when her hunger wins over her anger and how could she refuse those tiny hands that offer her favortire candies with an even swweter voice, Geet, khalo, mein kissi ko nahi bathaoongi, and her little angel would try to wink and finish with both eyes half closed along with a big smileGia always calls Geet by name when she is happy or angry with Geet

All day reading, hearing music and watching tv..

The only other visitors were Gia and her mother Preetho..

That morning..

It was as usual Preetho who was given the responsibility of getting Geet ready as the ladhkewale are coming to see her.

Preetho is also from Hoshiarpur..

She is a typical Indian wife.

Always ready to nod her head.

Saas kuch kehthi toh ji beeji.she nods .

Brij kuch kehtha hai toh ji.she nods.

Darji kuch kehthe hai.she just nods

Geet had never seen Preetho look at darji..she is so scared.

She always looks at the ground while Darji calls her.

Poor thing.Geet had nicknamed her noddy..

Gia also likes noddy.the cartoon character.Preetho even listens to Gia.

Geet had taught Gia to say no to what she doesnt like now itself.

Tumme dhoodh nahi pina hai? teek hai mat piyo.

Demand icecream.thtas also made from milk only

So thats also good for you.

She wants Gia to be independent, not like her mother..

Geet na Gia ko abhi se tayaar kar rahi haiwarna ye log Gia ki zindagi bhi barbadh kardenge.

Geet has already told her that when she turns 10 she would get out of Hoshiarpur, get admitted in Geets school.study well.get into a good college

Never return to Hoshairpur..otherwise they will keep her under house arrest just like Geet.

Gia understands not even a single word that Geet speaks but she knows her bua is very sad.

She loves her bua and she wants her to be happy.

She even gives her chocolates to Geet to make her smile.

dont cry, you want more chocolates? Have mine.i will get more from Darji

Geet would burst out laughing looking at Cute Gia..

Preetho peeps in silently.

Geet would get angry if she rushes in like any other room.

She knocks the already open door.

Geet had taught her to knock before entering.

Preetho: GeetGeethuuu

Geet comes out of her thoughts.

Though she is really pissed off she wouldnt lose her temper blindly.

Geet looks at her questioning.ab kya hai?

Preetho: woh..

She hesitates..why is it its always preetho who had to face Geet?...

Geet knows that its some message from her enemies..

But Preetho is only a messenger.why shoot the messenger.

Geet smiles.to make her comfortable..

Geet: bolo bolo, kya kabar layi ho meri kaboothar rani?

Gia smile at the new nickname of her mother..

Preetho blinks..

What would be Geets reaction on hearing the news?

Better run off after coveying it.she gets ready..

Preetho: Geet, tayaar ho jao, koi tumme dekhne aaraha hai shamko

Geet: kya?

Preetho wahan se bhaag jaathi.

Geet never bothers.

She thought it must be some guy.

But it was buaji.

Preetho comes to check whether Geet is ready.

But Geet is still asleep..

She had prolonged her afternoon nap..

Preetho: Geeet?

Geet opens her eyes..

Geet: babhi, mujhe sona hai

Preetho: hare, tere bhai wahan chila rahe hai, mujhe toh samj mein nahi aatha ki kya hoga ab? Who log Hoshaiapur pohunchgaye hai, jaldhi kar

Geet: kaun babhi?

Preetho: Geet, ladhkewale

Geet: unkko bolo kal aaye, mujhe bahut needh aarahi hai

Brij shout

Brij: oyeee, kitne samy hoga? Jaldhi kar

Preetho almost pleads Geet.

Geet pitied Preethos situation..

She then goes to refresh herself..

She puts on a salwaar kameez, the least she can do to save Preetho from her hubbys anger.

Buaji arrives and the whole family welcomed her as if she is a foreign deligate..

Preetho comes to inform Geet

Geet: babhi aap itne tension kyun lethe ho? mujhe patha hai ki kya hoga? Ye ladhka na apne vening snacks ke liye yahan aaya hai, aapne apne special jalebiyan ussko kilaya hai ya nahi?

Preetho: kya? Geet, ladhka nahi aaya

Geet is a little disappointed.whats this?

Geet: kyun?

Preetho: mujhe kya patha? Aao , tujhe neeche bhula rahe hai

Geet comes in her casual waer.

Ranno is shocked.

Ye Preetho ne kya kaha? Aur Geet aaise kyun aarahi hai?

Meinne toh lal lahenga aur zaver bhi bheja tha?

Geet ignored everything

She threatened preetho that she would lock herself inside her room if she

compelled her to wear all that

Preetho had no other go but to listen to her.as always she nodded her head

Buaji looks annoyed.

But Geet looked gorgeous in her white salwaar.no one can complain.except our buaji..

Buaji: ye kya hai? tumme koi achchi sadhi nahi milli kya? aur kahli haath, khali gardhan?

Geet: whats her problem? Ye mujhe dekhne aaye hai ya mere paison ko?

Geet whispers on Preethos ears

Ranno heard it.

Ranno: chup kar, pagal

Kiran: shadhi karna chahathe hai toh aapne apne beti ke liye koi zaver waver banaya toh hoga? Meinne toh abhi se meri pothi ke liye banana shuru kardhiya, usske agle janam din ke liye 30 soverign ka hip chain banne ki order kiya hai abhi abhi

Ranno: woh haina, Geet ke paas bhi hip chain hai

Kiran: nahi banaya toh shadhi ke pehle banadho, mujhe fake pasand nahi hai, sab kuch sone ka hona chahiye

Ranno: ye hummari eklauti beti hai, humne toh bahut pehle hi sab banadhiya hai

Kiran: mein bas yuhi keh rahi thi, beti ki shadhi toh pariwaar ki izzat ka sawaal hotha haina?

Ranno: aapne sahi kaha

Geet full on angry mode pe chali gayi

Ranno signals Preetho to take her in

Preetho lterally drags her in.warna Geet uss ayrat ko keema banadhegi

Geet thinks that its the boys mother..

She hates her instantly..

She didnt even bother to ask about Geets studies.

If she had asked about that Geet would have proudly told about her degree and other interests too.

But this women is only worried about the extra kilos that Geet would carry with her to their house.

She rejects this proposal atonce.

Not even ready to listen who that lady was.

Preetho tried to tell her about the boy and his family.

But Geet was in no mood to listen.

Preetho kept telling her big stories

Geet kept nodding her head without interest.

Preetho thought that she was listening and nodding.

But she didnt know that actually Geet had her ear phone on and was just listening to her favourite album.

Geet almost forgot about that so called ladhki dekhene ka episode until one day in the following week Pretho came back that some one is coming to see Geet again

Geet thought that it would be some one else.

Ranno made sure that Geet was loaded with atleast 1/2 a kg of gold this time..

Dadi also came with Kiran this time..

Dadi came to meet Geet in her room itself..

She was so happy to meet her.

Somehow Geet too liked Dadi.

She was not interested in her jewels.

Dadi: you look so beautiful, my grandson is so lucky

Geet: thanks

Geet blushes

Dadi: so, you finished your graduation?

Geet : haan

Dadi: what did you study?

Geet: computers

Dadi: humme toh ye sab maloom nahi hai, its better you talked with my grandson, par hum toh bahut kush hai aapko dekhkke, I like you very much, aur haan, aapko ye Dadi pasand aayi ya nahi?

Geet: bahut pasand aayi

Just then Kiran enters

Geets face turns red with anger.

Ye phirse aagayi

Kiran keenly noticed her dress and jewels

Kiran: ye kitne soverign hai? ye bahut patli hai, make one bigger

Ranno was nodding her head like a puppy.

Geet goes back to her silent mode.

Ranno felt that it was better else Geet would ruin everything within a minute.

Part " 5

Maan's Amritsar visit...

Dev and Meera greeted him with a big smile...

They knew that it'stime for Maan to tie the knot...

But Maan was very upset...

Maan ka mood bahut karab hai...

No one dared to speak to him about the wedding...

Everyone just acted as if they didn't know anything about the marriage plans...

Only little Arthi asked him when his wedding was and will he get her that angel dress(white gown with intrigue work that she wanted that day at the mall and Meera said it's white and she would apoil it first day itself) for his marriage...so even Arthi is ready for the wedding?

Maan wonders whether Kiran had flashed this news on the local bulletin...

Now why are they after his marriage?

Vijay comes back in the evening and it is up to him now...

Vijay: there you are, Dulhe Raja

Maan couldn't control his anger...

He keeps silent...

Vijay continues...

Vijay: so Maan, what do you want to know about the handas

What was that? Handas?

Did Maan hear it properly?

Handas...there would be hundreds of Handa families ...

Maan is now curious...

He should know more about these Handas...

He looks at Vijay...

Vijay: they are from Hoshiarpur...

How could Maan forget the fact that the girl is from Hoshiarpur not Amritsar...

His curiousity dies in a minute...

But Vijay had to tell him the whole story...

Vijay: and you know Maan? this Darji is the head of hoshiarpur, and they are also business people. This should be interesting? Haina?

Maan shows no interest...

Vijay: are you listening or what?

Maan: ji

Vijay: good, if not listen now, Geet is a very lovely girl, very bubbly and full of energy, not so dull like you, atleast one of you should be fun loving, isn't it?

Maan didn't hear a word after Geet...

His heart started dancing in joy...pumping faster and faster...

Geet Handa? Is this some magic?

This girl comes in Maan's life again and again like some divine power is behind it...they say matches are made in heaven...that must be true...

Vijay kept on speaking and Maan was lost in Geet's thoughts...

How he met her for the first time...

Here at Amritsar...

At Dev's computer centre...

Yes Dev runs a computer centre and Geet came here for her summer classes...

It was one of those holidays that Maan and dadi came to stay at Chandigar...

Seeing Maan Meera packed her bags as usual...

This is the time she gets a break...

Kiran never bothered her when Maan is around...

Infact she kept Meera out of the kitchen for Meera often added extra salt and spoilt the dishes and Maan always wanted them less salty...health conscious...

Kiran prepared the dishes herself for Maan,she never allowed the servants to cook...

Kiran is an expert cook just like dadi...

And Meera...she is such a lovely character...

Dev is so lucky...

Meera had a tough time after her delivery...

Kiran wanted a boy and it was a girl...

Kiran never went to see the baby...

Meera stayed at her mother's place and even Dev didn't visit her for 6 months...

When Maan came to know this he thought that afterall Dev is also a typical Indian husband...

Afraid of his mother...but still Dev loves meera very much...

Maan was visiting a friend at Chandigarh and he took dev along with him...

They went to Meera's house ...

It was noon and Meera was still sleeping...

Her mother welcomed them...

Meera's mom: Meera so rahi hai, woh kya haina, choti ussko raat bar sone hi nahi detrhi

Meera usually wakes up late...

Meera heard their voice and came down jumping in joy...

Meera: dev

Dev went with Meera upstairs her to her room...

Maan had little chat with Meera's mom...

She always said that she wanted Meera to have a brother like Maan...

Then that Kiran wouldn't dare to trouble her daughter...

Meera always considered Maan as his little brother...

Not only her, the entire family loved Maan so much as he is so unlucky losing both his parents early...

As they were getting ready to return Meera came down with her bag...

Meera: take me with you, I can't stay here anymore

Dev was scared about Kiran...

She doesn't even know that dev is here...

Dev: tum yahan bahut kush ho toh kuch din aur rukh jao

Meera: nahi, mujhe tummare saath hi rehna hai

Maan: Dev, let her come

Dev: what?

Maan can't force him...it's their life...

Dev left Meera back but he is still thinking abput Meera and his little angel...

Maan had to do something...

He asked dadi to talk about meera...

Dadi said that Meera is satying at her maika way too long...this is not good...haina Kiran?

You should call her back now, if she gets used to her maika she won't want to come back to her sasuraal, then Dev have to go and stay there as ghar jamai

What? Kiran would never let her son become a slave...

Kiran called her back the next day itself...

And Kiran was too happy to welcome Arthi this time...

Her naanu sent a lot of gold along with her know...

Kiran accepted them with pleasure: kya karein? Ladhki haina? Abhi se save karna padega? Haina sambandhiji?

Meera: haan haan, aapko meri beti ki kitna fikar hai?

That's Meera ...

Now...meera is getting ready for her missed HM after 5 years of marriage...

Poor soul! Kiran called that pilgrimage to Vaishno devi along with Kiran, Dai and Maan Meera's HM...

This time Meera waited for Maan to come and relieve Dev and they flew to Europe immediately...

So Maan had this summer class to handle...

Dev had recruited a new girl Sasha for this and she would be there in two days...

He just wanted Maan to keep the students engaged till then...say some quiz or puzzle...

But Maan took his job seriously...he prepared for the next day's class over night...

But no one was interested in his class...the boys made a lot of noise...

Maan got angry and scolded them...

They said that it's just a summer class and not any entrance coaching class...

Maan: very well, enjoy your vacation. I won't disturb you

Maan left immediately...

Everyone left the class except for this Geet Handa who sat before a system and started her self-study...

Geet loved learning this way...on her own...

Maan had to take notice of her then...

Just a cute girl in her sweet sixteen no no maybe seventeen...

Next day Maan went to the class just for Geet's sake...

She was the one who showed some interest...

Maan explained something with his own example...

He was using his name "Maan Singh Khurana" as the example...

Everyone but Geet copied the same...

Geet sat in the front and Maan saw her note...

She had written "Geet Handa" instead...

This made Maan more curious...

This is not just another girl...she is different...

And with some attitude as well...

Why not? She is such an intelligent girl and why not take some pride in that?

She is like..."I know everything" ...

Maan was eagerly waiting for the next class but this sasha took over the class next day...

Maan thought...Why couldn't she come after a few days...

What's the hurry? Dev is also out of town...

Then Maan had to be happy with just a glimpse of Geet when she comes in or leaves...

And the girls were disappointed to loose such a good tutor like Maan...

Maan used to stay in Dev's cabin...

And the girls took turn and visited the cabin(to see Maan) pretending to take an A4 sheet or some other book for reference...

But the girl Maan waited for never came...Geet didn't show any respect to this Handsome Hunk!!!!

What a girl?

But the boys loved the class now, no one missed a single class...

Sasha had a tough time handling Geet and her never ending arguements...

Sasha complained to Maan...

Does she come here to learn or to teach me? This Geet Handa is too much to handle...

But Maan loved it very much...somehow he was hooked to this girl...

15 days passed in a jiffy...and the class ended...

Maan was so disappointed then...he kind of missed Geet...

They never talked or even had an eye contact but just looking at her from a distance meant so much for Maan...he was also young at that time, maybe 20...so that must be the chemistry working there...

Maan felt that time ran faster those days...

So that was how Maan met this Geet Handa for the first time...

Vijay had finished long back...

Maan is still thinking...

Vijay: Maaan, how long would you take to answer this simple question...

Maan came back to reality...

Vijay: so, what do you say?

Maan didn't want to ruin this golden pppurtunity to meet Geet...

And the last time he saw her she was almost in tears...so sad and depressed...

From that day Maan had this urge to know what's wrong with her...

Somehow Maan didn't get the chance to see her again...

So this is the time to know the truth...

Maybe he can tell her that he is not interested in marriage at all...

It's not her, he wouldn't marry any one for that matter...

There is no place for marriage in his life...

He didn't want to send a messenger...he wanted to tell her in person...

He just wanted to meet her...

Vijay: what do you say?

Maan: I'll go meet this girl

Vijay is surprised...Kiran was so much worried, but Maan didn't even oppose...

He is all ready to see the girl? What's this? Some magic?

Anyway, everything is fine as of now...

So Maan would go meet her tommorrow...

And guess who is going with him...

Meera and Dev...

Meera is so angry that Kiran didn't take her to see the girl...

Meera is also part of the family know?

She should also see the girl, Maan's would be...

Doesn't she have the rights?

She was having a huge fight with Dev for that?

So Kiran asked Dev to take her along with Maan...

Geet, tayaar raho...here comes our MSK...

Part " 6

Geet gets the news about the boys visit...

She makes one last attempt ...but that didn't change anything...

She is very upset...

Just witing for Gia to come back from school...

At least she can forget all this nonsense for a while when Gia is around...

Gia comes runnig...

Geet tries to look cheerful...

But Gia finds out easily that something is wrong...

You can never act in front of a child...for they know when you are acting...

And you think you can fool them easily...

Geet: tumne nastha kiya?

Gia: haan, chalo neeche jaake khelthe hai

Gia pulls her hands...

Geet: nahi, tum jao

Gia: mujhe bhi nahi khelna

Gia sits on Geet's lap...: mujhe kahaani sunao

Geet: Gia, aaj nahi

Gia: nahi, mujhe abhi kahaani sunnaa hai

Geet: tumme patha hai ki kal koi Dhust Danav aaraha hai hummare ghar

Gia: Dhuuu kya?

Geet: hare, Dhuust danav

Gia: kyun?

Geet: tummari friend ko milne

Gia: tummra friend hai kya?

Geet: nahi, enemy

Gia: phir tumne ussko ghar kyun bhulaya?

Geet: meinne nahi, sab ne

Gia: woh yahan kyun aaraha hai?

Geet: mujhe yahan se lekhe jaane aaraha hai

Gia: phir chalo na usske saath

Geet: kya?

Gia: haan, tum toh yahan se jaana hi chahathi haina?

Good question...sometimes children are smarter than us...

Geet: mein chali jaathi toh tumme kahaani kaun sunayega? Tummare saath chuk chuk train kaun khelega?

Gia: haan

Geet: aur tumme aaise achche achche batein kaun bathayega?

Gia: mein tumme nahi jaane dhoongi

Gai comes and hugs Geet...

Geet feels a little better...

Geet is thinking about her destiny...so Geet, ab yahi teri taqdeer hai...

She tries hard to remember what Preetho said about the ladhka...ladhka ya aadmi?

She was saying some Khuranaji, Khuranaji, as if he is some one too old, just thought of marriage after he got bored in his business? Want some new adventure?

I'm not going to marry? Why should I bother?

I'm going to teach everyone a lesson, mein toh bhaag jaoongi...

Sab apne marzi ko mere upar soupna chahathe hai...

Mein toh apne marzi pe hi jina chahathi, ye meri zindagi hai, haina babaji?

Kya hua unhone mujhe janam diya? Mein toh ab major bangayi, ab toh khanoon bhi mere saath hai...

Phir sochthi ki sgar Geet kuch nahi kar pathi aur zabardasthi uski shadhi ho jathi toh?

Mujhe toh sabko sambalne ke liye tayaar rehna padega...

Aur babaji ne mere kismat mein shadhi hi likha hai toh mein kya kar sakthi?

Shadhi karo...aur patha nahi hai iss shadhi mein kya khaas baat hai?

Ranno ko hi dekho...kaise apne sapnon ko chodke yahan ki kaam wali bahi ban gayi?

Usske saheliyan toh Drs aur proffessors hai...

One of them even taught Geet...

She used to say that Ranno was such a brilliant student...

Chalo Geet, ab tumko bhi bali ka bakra banne ka waqt aagaya...

Tu aaise waise kitchen ki kaam wali bhai nahi Delhi ke kissi Khurana's ke modern kitchen ke kaam wali bhai banaewali ho...waise unka kitchen toh modern hoga, haina babaji?

Then she thinks about her honewala malik...

How would he look?

Like her favourite hero Salman?

But why is she thinking about him?

She hates marriage?

But when she finds that this is her destiny she wants a good looking guy?

What's wrong with her?

Maybe it's too much TV that she had been watching these days as there are no books here...

So to kill the time and to keep her occupied else she would turn mad thinking about her fate all the time, she had turned to the TV...

And also to keep her family away from her...

Anyone steps inside her room...she increases the volume so much that they leave immediately...

She won't talk to them know? She is on a strike...

What if that boy looked like a Dhust Danav?

Beauty and the beast?

See, even she is bothered about the looks...

What about the other qualificatuions?

Heard that he is an engimeer...that's OK...

Now what?

Not everyone would be Salman...

He should atleast be like Ranveer...not so scary , haina?

Like those old bollywood villains, made to look scary with big big brows and mustache...

Ranno makes sure that she looks perfect tomorrow...

Ladhka aaraha haina?

Even Mohinder came to see Geet...

No talking...only action...

Ranno pulls out a saree...

Geet rejects it...

She takes her favourite salwaar...

Very light color...

No says Mohinder...she should wear something bright...

He wants her daughter to look perfect...

He knows that she is the most beautiful girl in the world...

That's how every father thinks of his daughter...

But for Geet it all seemed like a business...

They want to highlight her color...

What? Is she some show piece for sale?

You want to sell her showing her plus just like you woo a customer...

Again, business people...for god's sake, I'm not a saree or curtain that you sell at your shop...

I am a living being...a girl...with life...

Preetho comes after they leave...

She has been sent to prepare her for the next day...

Hamesha Ranno beeji mujhe aaise mushkil kaam hi kyun dethe?

Achcha hotha koi aasaan kaam dethe, jaise ki khana pakana, haina?

Preetho tries to speak with Geet...

Preetho: Geet, Darji parson Delhi jaarahe hai, patha hai kyun?

Geet keeps viewing the TV...

Preetho: hare, tummare shadhi ki baat karne

Geet deliberately increases the volume...

Preetho: uss buaji aayi thi na? wahi ladhka, Maan Singh Khurana

Geet was listening to her favourite number on TV...

Preetho bahut shradha se apna kaam katam karke jaathi

She told Ranno that she had told everything to Geet...

Ranno is so relieved...chalo ek kaam ho gaya...

That night Geet thinks about Preetho's words...

Teri shadhi hai ...Geet ki shadhi hai...

She was so ahppy...what's so good about it?

That night Geet had a nightmare...

She is getting married to some Dhust danav...

Looks like the 80's villain...

Only the gun is missing...

He comes near Geet with that nasty look...

Looks like he is drunk...he almost shouts in her ears...

" Geeet, mere paas aao"

Geet wakes up sweating profusely...

Geet: sapna? Kitna bayanak sapna tha?

She drinks some water and tries to get back to sleep...

Random thoughts come to her mind...

How would her dream prince look? If at all she wants to marry...

She starts thinking about her friend's comment...about MSK...

" shadhi karni hai toh aaise handsome se karna hai warna shadhi nahi karna chahaiye"

" look at him...did he come here to enrich our knowledge or just to torture us with those killer looks"

" don't know how that Bandit Queen(their HOD's nick name) allowed him inside our campus?"...

This was when she attended some extra class at college...

Dev's institute conducted them...

Some girl came and taught them...

But one day Maan came ...everyone was going gaga over his presence...

And Geet turns back and thinks that she had seen him before...

yes, that angry guy, always had that angry look on his afce, now also the same look, itne sare ladhkiyon ke beech toh Maan aaise hi rehtha...

It's a strict women's college...

Their HOD wanted Maan to brief them about the engineering part...hardware...

Their's beibg an arts college no one cared about the mechanism...

Even when the cable is not connected properly the girls complain that the Printer is not working...

The lab assistant had to look into it everytime...

So she wanted them to handle those little things themselves...

Only Geet was interested in the whole class...mind you, only the class, not Maan...

Maan was reminded of their previous encounter...

He wanted to have some fun...

He said he would set the papers for the assessment...

And as usual he deliberately included his name in one problem and Geet skipped just that one...

Maan was disappointed...

Still Geet had scored better than the others...

Even the Bandit Queen appreciated her...

Then came the practicals...

Maan himself came to conduct it...

This time Geet had no choice but attend that silly problem...

Nothing challenging as she would like but just presenting this phrase " MAAN SINGH KHURANA" in different ways...

Maan had a victorius smile on his face through out that hour...

Geet didn't like it at all...Dhust danav...

Next day Maan was having a chat with the HOD...

Geet went to see her, actually HOD wanted her to come immediately...

Geet waited outside as Maan was talking with her...

He was telling about some job he got in US and was going to Delhi...

HOD called Geet in...

Maan was still there...

Geet never minded...

HOD: Maan, meet Geet, she is the outstanding student of this batch, I'm so proud of her

Maan just smiles...

HOD: so Geet, what's your future plans?

Geet feels embarrassed now...

What will she tell her now, she knows that her future is not that bright as Mrs.Sharma thinks...

How would she tell about her families plans to get her married off to Mrs.Sharma, who thinks that girls simply waste their talent and also the college's resources by getting married and forgetting all their education after that, what a waste?

Geet stands there silent with her heads down...

Maan is surprised...

What's wrong with her...that attitude is missing...

And what happened to her omnipresent confidence?

Geet is feeling ashamed of herself...

HOD: so you want to join Msc or MCA?

Geet didn't want further questions...

So she invented a lie...

Geet: I'm going back to Hoshiarpur

HOD: what?

Geet: my father wants me to take over his business, family business

HOD: ohhh, still you can do a correspondence course

Geet: yes m'am

Geet didn't sound good...she is so dull...

Geet: m'am, I'm getting late for my class

She almost ran from that room...

She felt all the more ashamed to tell her true story in front of Maan...

But why? She doesn't klnow...who is he? Why does his presence bother her so much?

Why is she thinking about him?

But why is Geet reminded of MSK now? All of a sudden in the middle of the night?

Geet kept wondering why she had this strange thought? That too about Maan?

Maybe she had heard his name in her sub-concious state when Preetho was telling about him...

Ye Maan Singh Khurana hamesha Geet ko aaisa hi tang kartha, aaj bhi dekho, bechari ke needh hi karab kardhi...

Part " 7

So the next day Meera and Dev set out to Hoshiarpur along with Maan...

Meera had a picture of Geet in her mobile...

That buaji requested them to send...

This Meera was so angry and wanted to see the girl atonce...

As if they Maan won't agree for this marriage unless she approves the girl...

Geet's college function ka photo hai...

Meera showed it to dev...

Dev: wow...she looks gorgeous

Meera stares...

Dev: tumse achchi nahi hai

Meera: haina, ye toh mujhse bhi bahut sundar hai

Maan tries to pretend as if he didn't hear them...

Meera had deliberately said that...

She watches Maan for his reaction...

She thought Maan has never met Geet...

He would peep into her mobile to take a look at Geet...

But nothing like that happened...

Meera: maanna padega Dev, inn Khuranas ko samajna mushkil hi nahi namunkin hai

She is having a dig at her MIL...

Dev laughs...

If Meera had said this at home Dev would have to do his chores himself for the next few days...

Whenever there is a tiff between Meera and Kiran both of them blame Dev and start their fight with him...

Bechara Dev, agar sab teek hotha toh donno ek se badkar ek Dev ke peeche padhe rehthe...

Dev mein na aaj aap ke liye koi nayi dish bana rahi hoon...usski koi zaroorat nahi...

Dev meinne tere liye specialy ye dish banaya hai, tumme bachpan se hi pasand haina?

Maan thinks about Geet...her lovely smile...

Maan was actually attracted to Geet when she came back to the institute one weekend just after the classes at her college ended...

She came to take a hard copy of her project...for her records...

She came with one of her friends...maybe a combined project...

Actually it was Pinky...

Sasha showed them the system connected to the printer...

She helped them get started and left them on their own which is what Geet always wanted...

The printer was placed just in front of Dev's cabin...

Dev didn't want anyone miss using it so he always had a watch on that...

One could see what's going on from inside his cabin but not from outside...

Maan was sitting inside...

And he just accidentally spotted Geet...

And he automatically got up from his seat and went near the glass divider and kept looking at her...

Geet was unaware of that and she was chatting with her friend, giggling, frowning and seriously doing her job...

Geet looked worried all of a sudden...

The printer got stuck...

Sasha came and tried to fix it...she couldn't...

And Geet was like " I know better"

She also tried her hand but in vain...

Sasha came to Maan finally...

Maan hurried to his seat and pretended to be busy...

Sasha: sir, printer mein koi problem hai, aap zara dekhiye"

Maan: tum dekh nahi sakhti? Mein kaam kar raha hoon"

Sasha: par sir, they want to finish it today, they need it on Monday it seems

Maan: ask them to come tomorrow

Sasha: kal Sunday hai sir, holiday

Maan: Ajay said he has some job, he will be thre tomorrow

Sasha: teek hai sir

Geet looked disappointed and left with a sad face...

Maan deliberately asked made her come the next day...

He could have fixed the printer within a matter of minutes...

But he wanted to see her again...

Don't know what's wrong with him, he just wanted to keep watching her...

Geet came next day...

No one was there except that Ajay who was busy in the store room...

Geet and her friend were more relaxed today...

Geet looked so fresh and bubbling with energy...

As they were left alone they were having fun...

Munching their fries and doing their job at a leisure pace...

They cracked some jokes ...maybe it was about sasha...

Yes, Geet imitated Sasha and Maan had a great time watching all this from his secret hide out...

Geet loosened her hair...

Maybe she came in a hurry after a hair wash...

She was constantly pushing the starnd of hair that was wavering in front of her eyes and were disturbing her once in a while...

As they say " A thing of beauty is a joy for ever"

Those cute images of Geet were stored in Maan's permanent memory...

He was just scanning them right now...

The car came to a halt and Maan came back to reality...

They have arrived at Geet's house...

Maan looks at the house and the surroundings...

Some people stop and look at them...

These were village people, still retaining the traditions amd most importantly the family bonding and love still remains in these parts unlike the so called metros where no one had the time even for themselves...work work work...money money money...run run run...

Quite contrast to this lazy and calm village...

But the early rays of the sun seemed to be more beautiful , spreading the joy amongst the lush green fields...with those flowers smiling and dancing in the wind...

That's why Yash ji shifted his story to these villages fron Europe in the later part of DDLJ...

They went in and found that there was no one in the aanghan...

Village mein toh entrance khula hi rehtha haina...

Aur ye calling bell kahan hai?

Meera: mein andar jaakke dekhhti hoon

Dev: kya?

Meera: don't worry, they won't kill me

Meera gets in and comes back with a mischievous smile...

Dev: kya baat hai? koi hai ya nahi?

Meera: sshhh, aao mere saath

She takes them in...

Ranno and Mohinder are in the kitchen...

Ranno kuch bana rahi hai...

Aur Mohinder kya kar raha hai?

Maan is surprised to see him in the kitchen...

Meera: lagtha hai ghar pe sirf ye donno hai, warna pathi pathni ki madat karne kitchen nahi jaatha

Maan: toh Geet ghar pe nahi hai?

Maan is disappointed...

Meera: sshhh, dhere bolo

Maan: what? Ye kya kar rahe hai hum? This is wrong

Meera: tumme apne saas aur sasoor ke barein mein jaana hai ya nahi?

Maan: nahi, mujhe sirf uss ladhki ke barein mein jaana hai

Meear: tum jao, bahar wait karo

But Maan is curious...kehthe haina ki aulat apne mabaap ke parchayi hothe hai...

Toh inko dekhkke patha chalega ki Geet kaisi ladhki hai...

Maan also stays back...

Mohinder: hare, tum yahan kya kar rahi ho? tumme toh aaram ki zaroorat hai...

Actually everyone has gone to some function and Ranno said that she had a headache and stayed back...Muhinder bhi koi bahane banakke gahr pe reh gaya, Ranno ki madat karne

Ranno: hare, mein teek hoon

Mohinder: ab sab bahar gaye hai toh tum kissko khana bana rahi ho?

Ranno: aapko hi, badam halwa, aapko pasand haina?

Mohinder: par ab isski kya zaroorat hai, pehle apna khyaal rakho

Ranno: aaj kuch khaas din hai

Mohinder: kya?

Ranno: aap bhool gaye?

Mohinder: haan, budda ho gaya hoona?

Ranno: mujhe aaise nahi lagtha

Mohinder: tum hi bathao, tum toh bahut hoshiar ho

Ranno: aaj aapke janam din hai

Mohinder: ye lo, mein kya 5 saal ka bacha hoon? Tum mere janam din manana chahathi ho?

Ranno: aapko apne janam din bhi yaad nahi hai?

Mohinder: yaad karkke kya kartha? Toh issiliye tum mittai bana rahi ho?

Ranno: haan, aur aapke haath mein kya hai?

Mohinder: ye, tummare liye biryani, tumme bahut pasand haina? Mujhe laga tum khana nahi ban paoge, pehle aao, aaram se beitkke khao

Mohinder Ranno ke haath pakadkke bahar lekhe aatha

Ranno: hare hare, halwa jal jayega

Mohinder: woh mein sambaloonga

Mohinder takes charge of the halwa...

Ranno enjoys her biryani...

Meera and party silently leave that place giving them privacy...

They wait for a while...they didn't want to disturb them...

Maan is so impressed by the love they have for each other at this age...

Geet bhi aaisa hi hogi? Ye mein kya soch raha hoon?

Kahin aaisa toh nahi ki mein apne janam din mein Geet ke haath ke chocolate mousse khana chahatha?

Par aaise hi Geet mujhse pyaar karthi toh kitna achcha hoga?

What? MSK tum yahan iss shadhi ko rokhne aaye ho, apne Dulhan ko le jane nahi...

Maybe this place is crazy, issiliye mein bhi aaise sochne laga hoon...

Maan tries to get these unwanted thoughts out of his mind...

Paert - 8

Meera: ghar mein koi hai

Ranno comes out...

Ranno: aap?

Meera introduces herself...and the others too...

Ranno recognizes Maan...

She had seen his photo...

She serves them halwa...

Meera: halwa, aapko kaise patha hum aarahe hai?

Ranno: woh aaj

Mohinder: aaj Geet ne halwa manga tha, haina?

Ranno: haan

Meera: Geet kahan hai?

Ranno: woh apne saheli ke ghar gayi hai

So Geet is not here, Maan ko toh Geet se abhi milna hai...

Maan: kab aayegi?

Ranno: shamko

Meera: toh hum shamko aathe hai

They leave...

Maan can't wait to see Geet, he still remembers her sober face ...

Her troubled eyes that used to have a naughty hint always, looked dull and red, she was crying? that day...her worried face lingers in his mind and he just wants to see her smiling innocent face once again...that's all he wanted ...no marriage, nothing more, just find out that everything is fine and good with Geet, then he can live in peace...

He had asked this question a hundred times after she left...what happened?

Why was she crying?...maybe I should have asked her what's wrong?

Maybe she needed help...what a fool I'm to ignore that poor girl...

But she never showed any interest in him...nor did she spoke a word with him...

There was no conversation between them...

Geet always kept quiet and is busy with her-self, lost in her own thoughts and living in her own world...

Now and then maybe she talked with her babaji...

That even Maan had noticed...

So the whole day Maan kept thinking about Geet and every minute felt like an hour for him...

He had come so far to see Geet and this stupid girl had to go meet her friend only today?

Geet had gone to see Pinky...

She had come to her maika after her marriage...

Pinky is very happy...

Geet ko lagtha hai ki shadhi itni bhi bhuri nahi hothi, warna ye Pinky toh shadhi ke pehle se ab bahut kush nazar aathi hai, aur thoda moti bhi ho gayi hai...

That evening everyone eagerly await Maan...except Geet Handa...

She is still reluctant to meet this khuranaji...

For she had imagined this Khurana to be some well settled business man, she had seen her cousin, a year younger than her getting married to this NRI business man in his late thirties, no one complained, not even her cousin, she was so ahppy to be going to a foreign land, nothing else mattered...

And how would Geet know that though Maan just entered business he is called a business tycoon just to add to his Dulha Value, Kiran had been telling them about the business empire of her brother and now Maan is the newly crowned king of the Khurana business ...

When it comes to marriage proposals, in arranged marriages, people tend to exaggerate the facts, our daughter is a true princess! Our son is the next Tata or Ambani...

And the Dulhe Raja has arrived...

News spread like a wild fire...

Preetho rushed to Geet's room...

Geet is still sleeping?

Preetho had come and asked to egt ready an hour ago, but this Geet always gets Prrethi into trouble...

Now Ranno will think that Preetho had not informed Geet earlier...

Preetho: Geeet, woh aagaye

Geet: toh, thode dher intrezaar karega toh budda toh nahi hojayega

Preetho bahut pareshaan hojathi...

Ye ladhki hamesha mujhe musibat mein dalna hi chahathi hai...

Poor Preetho pleads her to get ready...

Ranno called her and she left...: Geet aarahi hai

Brij came out running to welcome them...

As they went inside a few neighbours gathered to look at the groom...

They had a big grin on their face...and were chatting with their eyes...as if some secret...

Brij took them to the living room...

Dev and Maan took a seat while Meera went in to see the girl...

Maan's eyes looked eagerly for a glimpse of Geet...

Preetho took Meera to the dining table and served her samose...

Preetho is actually happy to see them for evrytime these people come Ranno prepares a feast for them...and Preetho loves the mittai and samose Ranno makes...

Preetho serves Maan and Dev too...

Maan is restless and is annoyed at this age old formality, yahan hum kya khane aaye hai?

Manthe hai ki hum mehmaan ko bhagwaan manthe hai, par aaj toh Maan Geet se milne aya hai...

Geet came and sat with Meera at the dining table...

She knew that they are coming and never bothered to get ready...

She just came down from her afternoon nap...

She is just irritated by the frequent visits of her so called in-laws...

That too on Sundays when everyone is enjoying their weekend...

Aaj Geet ka favourite music show hai...

Geet told Meera itself that she loved watching that show ...and it just starts in an hour...you better finish your job soon...haina?

Meera likes Geet and her frankness...

Geet too liked Meera, she is more over like Geet...

She also loved music and tennis...

They chatted about their favourite stars...

Maan just got to see them chatting...

This is not Delhi where they would send the girl to a coffee shop along with a boy, an official date...

Maan has to be satisfied with this telescopic view of his Mishty...

Geet was chatting with Meera and kept smiling all the time...

She tried to hide her anger and reluctance under that smile...

Though Maan was sitting at a distance he could easily make out that she is still unhappy, and that's a fake smile beneath which lie some unknown fear and anguish...maybe she is not happy with this marriage...

For Geet it seemed to be like some horse trading, the boy comes and looks at the girl and then he would decide whether to marry her or not, what a barbaric act? What about the girl? No one bothers to ask her about her wish, atleast they should ask her whether she is interested in marriage ? haina babaji?

She hated this so called ladhki dekhne ki ceremony, she decided to boycott it, on her part, she neglected the Delhi business man, she is on her stayagraha haina?

She can't stop that man from staring her like an item, infront of her own family, atleast she can avoid him, just don't look in his direction, let him also know that she is not interested in him, haina?

And also Geet never looked at the man for the fear of another nightmare...what if he looked even more devilish?

Maan can't say no for her...the more he sees her the more he likes her...

So all his determination to cancel this marriage vanished into thin air...

But still there is something about Geet that troubles him...

He should talk to her and make sure she likes this proposal...

Hare, Maan ko bhi Geet ke muh se sunna haina ki woh bhi Maan ko chahathi hai...

After a brief convo with the Handas they leave...

On their way back...

Meera commented that Geet is village types and didn't have a liking for good looks and make-up which according to Meera is the oxygen that a women survived on...

What would a girl do without all these grooming products...

Maan defended Geet saying that she is a natural beauty and doesn't need aftificial make-up...

Meera: so you too like her...then we should call DS and tell her this happy news, she would be waiting anxiously

Dev: haan, maa ko pehle bathado

Maan stops Meera...

Maan: nahi, rukho

Meera smiles...

Meera: toh tum pehle Geet ko ye kush kabri dena chahathe ho, no problem, mere paas handas ka house number haina

Maan: hare, itna bhi kya jaldhi hai, mujhe sochna hai

Meera: what? Aaise ladhki ko pasand karne ke liye toh ek second bhi zyada hai, Maan, this is too much, patha hai Dev ne toh turanth haan kardhi, sabkke samne

Yah, Dev almost fell off his seat in excitement...

Meera: DS ka muh dekhne layakh thi

Dev: tum bar bar maa ko DS kyun bhulathi ho?

Meera: hare, usska matlab hai dear saasumaa

Lekhin asli matlab toh Devil saas hai...

Maan ignores them and thinks about Geet and her depressed look...

She is still looking dull, what happened to her?

Maan couldn't sleep that night...

Next morning he left to Hoshiarpur without informing anyone...

He set out very early and reached Hoshiarpur at 7 am...

He just wanted to know the reason...for that he had to meet Geet alone and talk to her...

Is that possible?

He waited for a couple of hours and went to the Handa house at 9...

The whole family gaped in surprise...

Itne subhe subhe ye yahan kaise?

Geet ko bhi kabar milthi...

She comes out and looks at that stupid ladhka from her window...teek se dekh nahi payi...

But why is he here? Aur itne subhe subhe? Suraj bhi abhi abhi jaga hoga...

Ye toh mujhe chain se sone bhi nahi dega...

And soon the flash news is out...he wants to talk with Geet...alone...alone?

Then they sent Geet to the terrace...with Preetho...Maan wouldn't bother Preetho...by the way no one bothers her, haina?

And Brij shows Maan the staircase..." Geet upar hai, chath pe"

So now Maan can see Geet alone?

Preetho stands at the entrance...

She blushes as if she is getting married...

Maan then walks in...finds Geet standing with her back facing Maan...

Geet could sense him comimg...

She gets this funny feeling again...

What's wrong with her?

The thought that she is going to be this stranger's made her shiver...

And how could her family agree to this...

She finds this intimidating...like kapde try karthe haina, aapko suit kartha hai ya nahi?

So he wants to confirm that Geet is worth for him...

But Geet sees it as an opportunity to tell him that she doesn't like this marriage...

As soon as he comes she would just tell him that " mujhe ye shadhi nahi karni"

Then no one can compel her...this boy will run away himself...

She is just waiting for him...gathering all her courage to tell him the truth...

"Better stop this marriage yourself or I would run away from the mandap...shadhi ke din...haina babaji?"

As Geet is rehearsing her dialog Maan comes closer and still Geet doesn't turn to look at him...

Maan calls her...

Maan: Geeet

That sounds familiar to her...

She turns back and looks at the caller...

It's MSK...but, MSK? Yahan ?

She must be dreaming? Aajkal din mein bhi sapne dekhne lagi hoon...

She has frozen...she is speechless...

Maan: Geeet

Geet hosh mein aathi...

She simply blinks...as if she had seen a ghost...

Maan: tum ye shadhi nahi karna chahathi?

Maan comes to the point straightaway...

Geet is taken aback by such a question...

But this is what she was waiting for?

Maan has made it so easy for her...

He himself asked her and Geet just needs to say no...

Geet: nahi

Maan is now shocked...he had expected some trouble...but not this...

Maan: toh teek hai, ye shadhi nahi hogi, ab toh tum kush hona?

Maan sounds dejected...he starts to leave...
