Today's headlines: Sad Saxes gather around their dining table for their Rotary Club Conference. There is a lot of confusion and concern expressed about the disturbing news that the youngest member is determined to bring a new member on board without character clearance. At the Takurs, Baba and his Babu pause for an impromptu Lion's Club meeting in the situation room where the Three Takur Shers spar for a few minutes while their Lionesses were seen but not heard from this morning. Mr & Mrs. Krishna Singh are on their way to an undercover OPERATION: BIGAMY to rip the mask off pale face, sneaky con aurathi mard. (SCAM). Today's episode gives us an opportunity to profile the sad Saxes and the Three Takur men.
SHAMU EXPRESSES DOUBTS AT MATHUR'S RUSH TO MOVE UP WEDDING
Shamu you thought that you taught your children both sanskaari and progressive thinking. Instead what you have are confused human beings. Prof. tries to reason with his teenage brat "So get married after six months. What is the rush that Mathurs that they want the marriage so soon? Often when the pareshaan Papa thinks aloud things go haywire. So brace yourselves. A toofan can come into Mumfordgunj at any time. We also have desires about your wedding. We also want to perform the last wedding in the family with pomp and prestige. Who knows when we will see the next wedding music played in this family". Could it be that Arusia ends up being married a second time? Could it be Komal and Adarsh's marriage ends and Komal could get married to Jai Mathur?
NAINAJI IN FULL BLOWN PARESHAAN MODE
Nainaji is upset that Komal had a feast during her outing and brought Adarsh back home a hungry man. Nainaji is anxious and scared about Arusia 's rushed nuptials. Well! Nothing new here. Typicval Nainaji in pareshaan mode.
ADARSH TRIES TO REASON WITH TWIT SISTER
Adarsh tries to convince his mother that taking time to get to the truth. Naianji defends Papa's visit to Mathurs "Papa went only at the invitation of IG and even then he don't have a solid reason to refuse". Adarsh is hungry and asks fro some food. Nainaji is disturbed that Komal had a feast while Adarsh came back hungry. The Sax family is expressing their opinions about Arusia's wedding.
Adarsh on the other hand was being the silent observer. "I know Prats very well. If she says something is not right, then there must be something to it. If she has doubts about SCAM then let her clear it bec' the truth must be revealed". For once Adarsh was calm, cool and collected about the situation. None of his usual wall-hitting that he did during Prats's wedding. More importantly how will he justify treating SCAM with more regard for scamming his sister and Krishna who has treated Prats and Saxes with respect always? Will this situation be an eye-opener to him if not the senior sad Saxes? After all one can't teach old dogs new tricks.
KOMAL TAKES AURSHI'S SIDE AGAINST SAD SAXES
Komal is bragging out how wonderful Jai is. It looks like forgiveness and the way to a woman's heart is also through her stomach! Now that she's had her fill of eating out for the day, she is ready for a nap. Must be one kushi life for the young Takur lass at her sasural. It's lives there like she is an exchange in a foreign country, where she rooms with a man who is legally her husband but who shuns her like an unwanted roomie at college. She finally got a chance to go out with the man who whacked her roomie with his car. She got the treats and he had his tum-tum seat.
It's mehendi day today. At the Sax Rotary Club Conference, Komal is excited about this proposal She is thinking about food and her chance oto get some non-beg to stuff her face regularly. Once she sees his two-timing she will flop to the other side and join Kriya in questioning why a two-timer should let to stand without whacking him in the knees.
When Arushi attacks the circumstances around her siblings' weddings Komal praises Arushi with a dash of sarcasm"you got it girl. Whatever the circumstances, Adarsh is lucky to have found a wife like Komal" she brags.
She asks Nainaji to sing and not sit with a sour face on this joyous occasion. This is the occasion to rejoice. "It's not like Arushi's going to be a bride every day". Why does that sound like a premonition and ominous at that?
Komal is excited about the upcoming wedding preparations. She seems to be the only one who is rejoicing on the occasion.
Komal tells Arushi that in two days she and SCAM are going to come face to face. You got that right Komal! When this two-timing toad is caught red-handed and Prats ban jayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it's band bajega for sure for the lying lawyer. Unless! he already has a plan to play slippery eel and give them a sob story that they would believe all over again. Mummy and Papa's anxiety is gaining strength when Komal tells Arushi that she will come face to face with her SCAM in two days.
TEENY TWIST ARUSHIA ADAMANT ABOUT MARRYING SCAM
Arushi sees the family getting pareshaan and quiet around the breakfast table. "Why the tension? SCAM would be fine with me getting married with just a couple of sarees and a mungalsutra". The way the Saxes pinch pennies not sure if they will be ready to spend even that much money. Arusia and SCAM have only spoken about chai. So how does she know that SCAM will be fine with it? Want to stick the bill on him and have him buy you a new wardrobe? That would be too much for the lawyer who is roaming around town with his wife and no legal practice that pays his bills. Shamu already stiffed him on the legal fees for the case. But it wouldn't be such a bad idea. For all you know that is about all you may get from him if and when you marry him. He is already sharing everything in a marriage with another woman. All you will have left over are the seconds.
ARUSHI MAKES DECISION, SWITCHES LOYALTY TO SCAM
Arusia has already aliented her family. She proves it by flapping her jaws once too often silencing the rest of the Sax clan "Aman called you and said his mother wants the wedding to be quick or can't get married for six months". She practically calls her family members scaredy cats " truth is you guys got scared bec' Prats is against this marriage, that 's why you are stalling". Wait a New York minute, didn't he say two years on Friday's episode? Besides shouting is there anything else worth mentioning that Arushi has ever done? Oh yeah! That joota maar of KN, one he has vowed to make her pay for dearly. Has she traded some of that grey matter between her ears for a few beans?
She continues "I am getting married with your permission. You chose Aman for me. Prats married acc' to her wishes but you never said anything then. She went against the whole family and got married, she married outside the caste, you never said anything. Today I want it my way, you guys don't' like it. Today, you remember the reeti-riwaz and rules". So they did choose Aman, but they rushed into it just like you did even though they pretended to take their time in thinking about it like you did. Now they have doubts and you don't bec' you've been bowled over by a lying cheat and you are ready to sign on no matter what. You want to write your life off being second fiddle make that second wife go ahead. Who are we to complain if that is what you really want in life? You sound like Takurain with that green-eyed monster rearing its ugly head. Jealous of your sister and her marriage, aren't you? If you had a valid point you'd have no reason to scream or have your parents tell you to zip your lips now would they? By now we'd hoped you would have realized that you talk bakwas, shooting your mouth off first then think later. You have much to figure out about yourself before you can figure out the man you marry let alone when he is a SCAM in capital letters. He had you at chai and he is making a grand fool out of you with your permission for you are ready to believe him over the family that raised you.
ARUSIA REVEALS JEALOUSY OVER PRATS'S HAPPY MARRIAGE
"It's all just words, I know the truth". What truth will that be? And which school of brain washing did you graduate from? You have barely made it out of high school and acting like you are the gnani in the family. "Truth is you people have let Prats's desires and thoughts be supercede mine. Whatever Prats says you blindly believe her and here I scream my head off but no one listens to me". Prats lucked out with Krishna but you got the short end of the stick girl. "I won't let someone else dictate my future. Forget six months, I don't want to even wait six weeks, I want to get married on the selected wedding date". I have decided. I will certainly marry Aman. That sounds like less than six days. Great! Congratulations! You have just signed on to be sauten to Mrs. SCAM. Talk about desperation. It's not like you are approaching the cut out date to procreate. Why the rush to marry pale face of all people? You don't think you deserve a decent guy or any guy will find you worthy of being his wife? You seem to attract all the slimy, scumbags in town. Look at the guys who may stood in line for your hand. First it was Angadwa then KN and now wife collector SCAM and it could be KN all over again. You attract the riffraffs in town and have the gall to say that Prats married a gunda?
Arushi is thrilled and unconvincingly coy at her mehendi ceremony. When SCAM calls her she tells him exactly what he wants to hear.
SAX MATRIARCH TRIES TO KNOCK SENSE INTO CLUELESS GRANDDAUGHTER
Dadi has been listening as Nainaji's voices her fears, and hears Shamu's anxious plea. When Arushi starts accusing everyone at the table she finally spoke up. "If you think your parents are delaying the marriage bec' they got scared after Prats's concerns, what's the harm in it? Isn't it better to find out the truth/lie? Marriage is not playing with dolls, that what's wrong today will be fixed tomorrow. Marriage happens once in a lifetime, whatever happens does happen before the marriage not after". Where were you Dadi when Prats was telling the truth and you guys were treating them like a pariah and refused to believe her then? Now the doubts are seeping in what if she was right?
When Komal expresses how her mother rejoices during happy occasions, Dadi butts in to remind her that there is a big difference between your mother the Takurain and my bahu Nainaji.
Well, as sensible as it sounds now where were you when SCAM was conning all of you with the respectful aaaps when he dropped by to scam you guys out of free cups of chai? You were in attendance and stepped up to the plate when it came to car
BROTHER'S ADVICE REJECTED BY TEENY TWIT SISTER
Nainaji has a migraine and Adarsh in a calm cool voice speaks up "Arushi today you are shooting your mouth off a little too much.đ If Prats has a fear about your getting married in a hurry, or she has a doubt what is the problem in clearing it first? We need to wait on this marriage for a while, better to solve it now so you don't have a problem later on. Your marriage will take place. When it comes to Prats she does it for your well-being". Looks like Prats's concerns are weighing in on him too. Did the cat get his tongue the other day when Krishna and Prats came to tell them what she had seen with her own two eyes? "You are the last person given the circumstances of your marriage. We know how happy you are with your marriages. Prats is happy with Krishna and that gets your goat doesn't it? My marriage is not causing so much anxiety.
KRIYA TEAM UP TO BUST SCAM'S BLATANTLY BIGAMOUS PLANS
Prats wakes up Krishna. He grabs Prats with plans for some lovey-dovey moments with his wife. He promises to stop Arusia/SCAM wedding later. An anxious Prats protests "This is not the time for fun". It's a matter of Arusia's life. We have two days to come up with a plan to catch SCAM red handed with proof. Aman has such a mask on his face no one will believe us without the proof. We have to act soon". Krishna pacifies her "Why are you worried? I have made arrangement, so when his mask is ripped he will look like a ghost. You just watch"! When Chandu calls Krishna he tells his buddy to follow SCAM and his ma'am. Krishna is all gung-ho and ready to go nab SCAM for his cheating ways. Prats, you and Krishna seem more concerned with Arushi's life than she is about her own future given her choice to spill all to SCAM and selling you all out. At some point if she still wants to make her life difficult, step back and let her be on her merry way to hell in a hand basket.
Kriya watch SCAM with his woman from outside the caf after Chandu points to the couple sitting inside holding hands and smiling at each other. Prats peers and notices the woman is wearing a mangalsutra and has sindoor on her maang. Will it be Tuesday tamasha tomorrow when SCAM's mask is finally ripped off his face and he is made the laughing stock in a public place?
Prats is definitely changing albeit at a tortoise pace but she's changing all the same. She went from solo missions to now including Baba on a joint venture. It does give Baba something to engage his mind and do something worthwhile. Will we see Baba become a detective at some point? He has the resources and knack to get the goods on anyone in Allahabad.
TAKUR SAJJAN SINGH TRADES ZINGERS WITH HIS TWO KALIYUGI AULADS
SS battles a cold and is lounging in the situation room "Where are you going this early in the morning with your wife? Husband and wife off for your walking walk?" he adds sarcastically halting Kriya on their way out. Krishna chides him "you know what they say about it being inauspicious to ask someone where they are going when they are on their way out. He gives the example of the sentiment that people have about black cats. SS takes mighty offense at being called a female cat. Krishna corrects himself "you are a Cat with a beard". That doesn't calmTakur down. He calls Krishna a dog' Tit for tat? Takurain does have a point, SS behaves like a jungalee animal himself he has to take responsibility for some of what happens in the Niwas as well. Who does he think has been his son's role model all these years? She was sitting there listening intently but probably also dying to add her two paise worth opinion about Kriya's day out, except she didn't get a chance.
KN is acting like a man with ants in his pants and wants to know the status of Arusia wedding? SS is noticing his interest with eagle eyes and a sharp wit and trying to rein him in and is bothered by it. Takur Resident Eavesdropper Kesar (TREK) tunes into the conversation with her heightened sense of hearing. Krishna tells him it is taking place in two days. KN is confused and bothered by the flip-flopping information coming his way.
SS riles at KN "you just had an earthquake in your brain, you are talking nonsense. You need to have your head examined by a psychiatrist. When we try to arrange your marriage you reject it and now you want to know about Arusia's wedding? You've gone bonkers." When KN tries to explain SS verbally smacks him down. It appears we are back to first base of this baap-beta rishta with SS ruling his roost once again.
SCAM AND HIS MA'AM OUT TO LUNCH, SPOTTED BY KRIYA IN CAFE
A woman clad in an orange saree wearing a mangalsutra around her neck and sindoor on her maang gets out of Aman's car and the couple are seen entering a caf together by Krishna's right hand man and best buddy Chandu. If Aman Mathur is so famous a lawyer for taking on risky cases and living a risky life how come his personal life has not made news around town? In recent weeks he has been out on dates in public with this woman. Is he waiting to get caught bec' he is a coward who doesn't have the guts to tell his father to his face that he married a girl who is unacceptable to the family? Whatever happened to his mission to teach the bad boys in town lessons when he should be the first one who urgently needs to learn a few lessons of his own about breaking the law while pretending to protect it. Does he enjoy living on the edge? Will he marry Arushi or will his plans for bigamy be busted?
TWO-TIMING SCAM CALLS FIANCEE, CLUELESS WIFE WAITS NEARBY
SCAM leaves sindoor bari woman to herself and wanders a few tables away to call his fiance Arushi who is unconvincingly coy about being a bride during her mehendi ceremony in progress. Shameless! He has the gall to call Arushi while out on a date with another woman. If it's only two days before the wedding isn't he supposed to be involved in his own wedding celebrations back at his home? He is suddenly all friendly with Komal after his last two encounters with her have been just plain obnoxious and rude? He pours it on thick and Arushi readily swallows his fake caring. He has pulled so much wool over the Saxes eyes that they could each have a sweater made out of it.
Preview: MARRIED MAN CAUGHT RED-HANDED BY FIANCEE & HER FAMILY Krishna is seen leading Shamu, Prats, Arushi and Komal into the caf to bear eyewitness the two-timing, cheating, two-faced SCAM enjoying an afternoon with the sindoor bari woman. SCAM's back is to the surprise guests who have just arrived, giving them a clear look at the woman in his company. Who will be the first to say "Hands up, SCAM, you are busted!"
