June 23 - Indian Highlights

Recap:
The bride at the wedding says the witch is going to kill her if she gets married.
Vaishnavi convinces the girl and calm her down with the help of MR.
Vaishnavi remembers Sonakshi, but Panditji is still upset that she left.
Gulu tells Vaishnavi that Manav has not left his house or played his flute since she left.
Vaishnavi goes to see Manav and sees paintings of herself.

Manav drops his paintbrush at seeing Vaishnavi - he is surprised to see her.
Manav says Gulu didn't say that Vaishnavi came - but Vaishnavi says that Gulu made her come as soon as she came in the village.
Vaishnavi asks him why he has stopped playing the flute and why he is not leaving his house. She asks him that he's not taking care of himself.
And, she wants to know why she is making pictures of him.
Manav says not to misunderstand him - he says she is like MR for her - she is his friend, and he missed her so much. So, when he missed her, he made her pictures, and it felt like his friend was back.
Vaishnavi asks him to come with her to the mandir to play flute like she used to - he says he has given up playing.
She brings a flute to him and says he has left it but not forgotten it - he begs her not to ask him.
She tells him if he values their friendship, he should play - it's her right to ask him. But, he refuses her.
She says he will do it - then she leaves with Gulu.
Manav is left alone.

At Vaishnavi's house, Vaishnavi is doing an arti to MR. It's similar to the ones she used to do at the beginning. Manav hears her singing, and he becomes restless.
She sings the intro to Mata Ki Chowki like she did in the first episode we saw her grown up in.
Vaishnavi stops singing and remembers Vansh insulting her and saying that she can never love anyone but MR. And, he broke their relationship.
Panditji sees that she has stopped, and then they hear the flute - IT'S MANAV - he's all cleaned up.
SERIOUSLY WANT TO CRY HERE - IT'S SO TOUCHING - VAISHNAVI IS SO RELIEVED!
She gives arti to her father and the others, and the people leave from there.
Her father also leaves her and Manav stays back to take arti. She puts a tikka on him.
Vaishnavi says that she told him he would play - and he says that she put a condition of their friendship on it - he had to come!
Vaishnavi says that from now on, he cannot stop playing because this is MR's gift to him to play the flute - he promises her.
Gulu comes and says that finally Manav listened - he has been trying to convince him a million times.
Vaishnavi gives Gulu prasad after making him clean his hands. He eats it like a kid!
Manav wants to know how long Vaishnavi will stay - but Gulu says they will spend the time together just like when they were children.
They decide to all go out together.

They are roaming the fields and mountainside together.
Gulu is really enjoying and Vaishnavi looks happy.
They remember how they used to steal apples - but Manav says only Gulu used to steal apples, and he and Vaishnavi used to eat them.
Vaishnavi catches something in her eye - and they see her face change.
Manav and Gulu know her well enough to know something is up.
She walks ahead and they follow her to another small mandir in the distance. She remembers times with her mother as she walks towards this mandir.
Gulu and Manav look at each other and ask Vaishnavi what is wrong - she says that she is remembering her mother - her mother used to bring her there and told her stories of MR.
She used to sometimes fall asleep listening to stories, but her mother would take her home never waking her up - just carrying her.
She never knew when she got home.
They worry about her like children - but then Gulu says that he knows something is wrong since she came - and she should tell them what is wrong. She says she's just remembering her mom.
They says they will go back, and make jokes to make her smile.
They all leave. Then Vaishnavi sees a cave or something in the trees - she asks what that is.
the camera takes us to a dwelling in a cave with black magic stuff, and a woman with matted hair but we can't seeher entire face. We just see bloadshot eyes, and dirty teeth - she looks young.
The three of them feel something is wrong.

Episode ends on Vaishnavvi's face.

Precap: They are going to do a Maha Arti for MR since Vaishnavi is here. Panditji and the counsel ask her to call SK - Panditji senses something is wrong.

Comments: I think Vaishnavi will reform this witch who has had lots of bad things done to her.
