Sarla chachi provides cover to Neerdhya
Neeraj & Sandhya are pulled into a room by... Sarla chachi!!! (Congratulations to the majority of you who guessed it right in yesternight's poll) Sarla tells him that everywhere is crawling w/ agents that she has no idea how on earth Neeraj could get Sandhya out of there. Sandhya recognizes the voice, and asks Sarla aunty... Sarla tells her that while she is one of the Jagirdars, she too sometimes thought what they were doing is wrong, but she thought it was her duty to support her husband in all situations. However, last night, Sandhya caused such an earthquake that she awoke both the mother & woman in her.
Neeraj confirms that, and tells Sandhya that it was only due to Sarla aunty that he knew what was happening and got to Sandhya in time. It was Sarla who told him about DK. Sarla tells Neeraj that if he really wants to save Sandhya, he has to take her far away. She is concerned about how Neeraj will pull it off.
Pankaj is walking in the hallway, and then a thought strikes him, and he opens the door to his room. Sarla turns around and he asks her whether Neerdhya came there. Sarla denies it, even as Neerdhya are hiding behind the door. Pankaj is about to come in, but Sarla goes to him, and asks him whether she'd not have raised an alarm had they come there? Pankaj agrees and leaves the room. All 3 of them are relieved.
Sandhya proposes a plan to escape w/ Sarla's help
Sandhya tells them that there is a way to escape. She asks Sarla to help them one last time, having done a lot so far, and to hide them in that room while it's daylight. At night, somehow, cause a power outage throughout the haveli. While nobody will be able to see, since it's all the same for Sandhya, she can get herself and Neeraj out of there in the middle of everyone, un-noticed. Sarla agrees to remove the fuses, and asks them to use that opportunity to make good their escape.
Sarla also tells Sandhya that once she has escaped, not to try telling her sisters or the police about everything she knows. These people are extremely powerful & influential, and even the police won't be able to displace them. However, if they know that Sandhya managed to tell her family and others about it, all she would do is imperil them. Sarla asks Neeraj too to convince her, and that from now on, Sandhya's fate is in Neeraj's hands. 👏
Sandhya decides that once she's out of there, she'll make sure that everybody in this family is brought to justice
Savita concerned about Sandhya
Savita asks Jayesh what Sandhya's mood was like when she visited during Gokulasthami (Savita, you picked the right guy to ask 😆) Jayesh tells her that she was very happy, particularly since Yuvraj & Neeraj were there (Jayesh, you forgot the last day when Sandhya was upset about Sakshi leaving early) Savita wonders why Sakshi felt the way she did? Jayesh points out to her that Sakshi visited Sandhya in Gwalior, met her and was told that things are fine, so what's to worry? Savita is unconvinced, and tells him that sometimes, she feels very apprehensive about Sandhya.
Jayesh tells her that in a few days, Sandhya will be coming for baba's shradh, and so that would be a good opportunity to ask her about it.
Neerdhya escape under cover of darkness
That evening, Yuvraj summons the servants and sends them on the same mission. Sarla chachi comes out of her room, and taking care not to be noticed, enters the circuit room and removes the fuses (they don't have switch fuses - such multi-millionaires?)
The lights go off everywhere, and there is a huge commotion everywhere. Sandhya leads Neeraj out of the room, while all this is going on. While this chaos is on in the house, Sandhya & Neeraj are on the grounds of the haveli.
Finally, the lights go on, and Prabhavati, who is standing on the balcony, spots Neerdhya and raises the alarm. Puru, Pankaj, Yuvraj, DK, Sarla & Sunita all arrive there. Yuvraj yells @ Neeraj & Sandhya is startled, while Pankaj yells @ security to stop them. However, Neeraj knocks off the security guy who tries to intercept him, and flees w/ Sandhya. All the Jagirdars are watching absolutely stunned. DK asks Yuvraj to accompany him, and ensure that Neerdhya didn't leave the haveli grounds.
Inside, Yuvraj makes phone calls to make sure that Neerdhya don't leave the city limits of Gwalior. He asks them to monitor all bus-stops & railway stations. Prabhavati calls the police commissioner and tells him to ensure that these 2 didn't leave Gwalior.
Puru asks her what if Sandhya told her sisters everything over the phone? Prabha is shocked and accuses him of being an eternal pessimist. Pankaj tells her that not thinking such things isn't going to ward it off. If Sandhya were to tell her sisters, what were they to do? Yuvraj assures him that nothing of the sort will happen. As it is, all the sisters are being surveilled, and if anyone came to know about it, they'd be in their crosshairs. He doesn't want that stage to come, which is why he wants them captured.
Savratkar sisters start converging @ Savita's place
Apu is about to eat, and moans that the same dish is being offered for the nth consecutive day. Savita tells him to shut up & eat - it's healthy 😆🤓 Mohan, Shreya & Shradhya arrive, and ask for 3 more plates. Savita tells them to wash b4 eating (like they are Swati & Apu 😆) She asks Shradhya about Rohit, and she tells her that he is busy (Shradhya, when will you end this charade and tell tai it's over?) Shradhya asks her about Sandhya, and Savita tells her that Sakshi & Shreya did invite the Jagirdars, so probably they'll arrive on the day of the shradh.
Shreya is in the kitchen, and causes an accident, which is par for the course. Mohan and Jayesh are shocked, but relieved to know it's just an accident. The kids laugh 😆
Neerdhya on the road
Neeraj and Sandhya are in a bus, w/ Sandhya veiling herself to be inconspicuous to Yuvraj's spies. Sandhya tells Neeraj that she wants to go to Mumbai. Neeraj asks her what she'll do there - he reminds her what Sarla chachi told them. If she meets her sisters, she'll endanger their lives as well.
Sandhya tells him that she doesn't know all that, she just wants to go to Mumbai. She knows that they warned her that in Gwalior, nobody can oppose the Jagirdars. That she accepted b'cos she was afraid of Yuvraj. But the police and the law ain't puppets of the Jagirdars everywhere - even now, there are people like Inspector Bhosle in the police dept. She begs him to do her one last favor and take her to her tais, and asks him where that bus is headed. Neeraj tells him it's headed for Indore. He then covers her face w/ her sari.
Just then, a car stops in front of the bus, and Yuvraj & his gang come out. They enter the bus, and Yuvraj removes a woman's veil, but it's not Sandhya. The woman scolds Yuvraj, and he apologizes. He gets off, and orders his men to check other Indore-bound buses.
Neerdhya had actually gotten off the bus b4 then, and Sandhya asks him whether they're in Indore. Neeraj tells her that they haven't, and that they cannot be continuously in the same vehicle for any signigicant period of time, since they are being followed.
Sakshi calls the Jagirdars to remind them of the shradh
In the Jagirdar mansion, the phone rings, and Prabhavati sees that it's from Savita's house. Everybody is tense as they think Sandhya might have told her sisters. Pankaj tells Prabhavati to answer it. She does, and Sakshi is on the other end.
Sakshi apologizes for disturbing her, and asks her why they haven't left as yet? Prabhavati is surprised, and Sakshi reminds her that they were all supposed to be there for the shradh. Sandhya & Yuvraj must have already left, right? Prabhavati is shocked as she realizes that this will be expected, and Sakshi tells her that all other sisters have arrived, and they are still waiting for them. She requests them to turn up, and Prabhavati promises that they will.
After getting off the line, Shreya asks Sakshi when would they leave if they haven't already? Sakshi tells her that they'd all leave together - that's what aunty said. Shradhya wonders how they'd get there by tomorrow if they haven't as yet left, and Sakshi tells them that they'd probably get a flight.
At Jagirdar's end, Pankaj asked if they sounded suspicious, and Prabhavati told him that it didn't seem like it. Pankaj is relieved, and tells her that she worried needlessly. Prabha however tells her that they have to be @ the shradh, since Sakshi had invited them. Pankaj tells her that it's not necessary that they attend, but Prabha tells him that while it's not necessary for them, it definitely is for Sandhya. If for this first anniversary Sandhya isn't there, and that too w/o telling anyone, the entire situation would be out of control. They can't contact Sandhya, and they can't tell the sisters anything, or else they would be suspected. Everybody is worried about the new situation that's arisen.
Comments
I'm glad Sandhya found out about the change in Sarla chachi in time, and that Sarla chachi got one more opportunity to help them w/o being caught. Like w/ the phone as a bugging device plan, Sandhya proved her brilliance today as well in getting both herself & Neeraj out of there. As a result, the 2 of them are now free, and can hopefully bypass all the ambushes laid by Yuvraj. I do hope she does not get to Mumbai. That way, her sisters are safe - she cannot otherwise explain why she's there w/ Neeraj rather than Yuvraj. As for her father's shradh, it would be in their best interests if Sandhya couldn't attend, but the Jagirdars could. Let them feed the other sisters any lies they want - right now, it's more important for the sisters to be safe.
In fact, by accepting Sakshi's invitation, Puru ensured that even if Sandhya had attended the shradh, not only Yuvraj, but Yuvraj, DK & Pankaj would have been there to ensure that noone blabbed to the sisters or anybody else. That way, Puru did them a favor, even though Prabhavati or DK didn't see it that way. Now, if only the Jagirdars attend the shradh from Sandhya's side, they get to tell their side of things, while Sandhya doesn't, and if they think the sisters believe them in the absense of Sandhya, then that's better for the sisters.
On Sarla's & Neeraj's advice, I agree w/ Sandhya that there are still cops like Inspector Bhosle, but Sandhya still needs to be tactful about how she does it. What she should do is lay out all the potential threats to everybody - she & her sisters - and ask Inspector Bhosle to ensure their security b4 he moves against the Jagirdars. That would be doing it the smart way. I agree w/ Sandhya & disagree w/ Neeraj, Sarla & Sunita, but that depends on Sandhya executing this right, and not just blabbing about it to everybody.
Episode rating: 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
👍🏼: Neerdhya pulling off their escape, Sarla chachi helping them and being undetected, Jagirdars in a pickle over the Savratkar shradh
👎🏼: Neerdhya being spotted b4 they made a clean escape, but then again, things can't be perfect.
